not exactly, as i understand it you take 40% more experience from a kill than everyone else.

for example if a mob gives 1000 exp and you are in a group with 5 people who have no penalty/bonus, then you take ~233 xp and everyone else gets ~153 (note an equal 6 way split would be ~167 each). the effect is the whole group levels at the same pace.

so each person gets an 8% penalty to make up for your 40%. correct me if i'm wrong please.

You have the right idea, but I'm pretty sure the hybrid will in fact still level SLIGHTLY slower but I could be wrong on that.

I think a big thing people may have forgotten/never knew is that that penalty wasn't given to the hybrid, it was destroyed, gone for good. No one got that XP...well 'cept maybe the server.

that doesn't seem to agree with this

As such, a level 20 Troll SK, having more experience total than a Human Wizard of the same level, would get more experience from each kill, while the total experience for the kill was unchanged. Essentially, the SK would take part of the Wizard's share were everything distributed equally to begin with.

That makes perfect sense now -- when the server would ding, it would crash to go get its new spells [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Can I also go offtopic, call Modus a cheating loser and get a nice GM reply?

Man, I'm not even gonna try.

Ok Landis, thanks for the explanation. I appreciate it.

Originally I thought that if a normal kill was equal to 1 blu bub for none penanlized members, that's what they would get, and I would just get 60% of a blu bub for the kill.

I just don't understand why Inglourios Basterds can troll, rant, flame, bitch whatever they want and the admins even try to justify it afterwards.

I'm puzzled.

I didn't justify anything. They're both douche bags and climbing in the middle of a personal quarrel in this thread isn't going to help me answer peoples questions and concerns.

Tempers are hot amongst the natives over this. Some steam venting is expected, but keep trolling and you'll be unable to defend your position.

Back on topic: How about getting us some solo & grouped data on what you're seeing. If you got the balls, time and inclination I can climb on test and even spawn mobs for you.

I'd be happy to dedicate some time, at any point, to being a tester here, if you have need.

Now, back on topic.
