EXP IS SO SLOW!

We do have intention of fixing anything that is broken. Time is the issue. This isn't just a P1999 issue, it's emulator wide. The hit boxes are broken there as well. We compensated by upping run speed so it isn't completely trivial to try to get away.

Run for your life should mean exactly that; work your ass off or die =).

One thing to realize, for these mobs to even catch players running normally: Player speed 1, Mob speed 1.71. At 1.70 if you take off running while in melee range the mob can hit you 1 time possibly twice depending on conditions, then never even get close again even without strafing/jumping.

Another problem with the run speed issue is that the mob "walking" speed is too high. It is almost laughable sometimes trying to run up to a mob just to engage it, because it is walking so much faster than I can run.

In classic, jumping twice would put enough distance between you and a chasing mob for that mob to never hit you again, unless you bumped terrain or lagged.

You could hit an orc pawn on one end of EC, run off and jump two times, and that orc would never strike you again as you ran all the way to WC zoneline. On P99, mobs runs significantly faster than "normal" character run speed. This is not classic.

funny that i see this post now. i was thinking the same thing.

have been out of town since last week, and got to play a bit today, and exp seemed really crappy, and i was in a fairly fast pulling croc group, killing reds.

Exp seemed pretty bad in my full group, yet very good in duo /solo

Exp seems to be fine to me. It's the way i remember it from way back. of course, i was only like 7 when i played clasic....

More info on this would be great.

Was thinking the same thing, but resigned myself to thinking it was just me. Then hopped on the forums, not looking for anything exp related. Then saw this, and now I'm posting!

Thought it was just me... I remember it being bad back in the day but damn.. how long does it theoretically take to get level 3?!

If you're killing level 1 mobs, a long damn time.

If you're killing mobs around your level, you'll get to 8-9 pretty fast.

Well before xp change a lvl 37 grouped with my 50 would get a blue a kill on certain mobs and now they only get a tick *same mobs same levels* , the developers told me this was an intended change. So maybe theres a XP limit on how much a red con mob can give a player.

XP is most definetly not fine, and much much slower.

Level 11 Warrior in a full group in TR room only getting 1 notch to less than 1 notch of experiance a kill. A week ago I was easily getting half a blue a kill.
