Duration of Shared Grp XP Penalties

Those are unfair examples considering the request made here is something that existed during velious and is expected to be implemented eventually anyway. If players asked for racial experience penalties to be removed, which didn't happen until years later, then this would be a more appropriate dismissal.

unfair examples

I was responding directly to the claim that we pick and choose what negatively effects players. How are those not valid examples of negatively affecting players? Did I say anything about exp penalties? I was purely stating that the patch notes you guys receive will NOT be full of player perks, but the opposite, nerfs, since that is the majority of difference between classic and non-classic.

edit 2nd paragraph: I re-read your post with context, and understand it now. The feedback on this particular issue isn't what I was commenting on here, but I am keeping up to date with how people feel.

Oh, sorry for correcting grammar, but I did find it ironic from someone questioning anothers reading comprehension.

Grammar =/= reading comprehension so your irony sucks.

My Favorite things about this thread

- The discussion about possible options and alternatives, it's so adorable. *cute*

- The fact that this problem is being blown way out of proportion

- The fact that players are blaming the hybrid shared exp problem when they should be blaming the red guy sucking up all the exp.

- The pyro in this thread with the Captian America Icon, I LOVE archatypes! Also my favorite ninja turtle was Leonardo and my favorite X-man is Cyclops, they always did what splinter/professor x said!

- The wow card I love it... I'm not insane, EVERYONE else is insane. I am perfectly normal. What? what was that voice in my head no... no... dogs are my friend I should not kill the dogs.

- The only people I know who complain when I invite a hybrid into the group are the type of IDB (see internet douchebag theory, pennyarcade) that I end up not wanting to group with. /tell me I will group with any hybrid as long as you do not suck (lol I made a pun).

- Being a fan of warriors I am bathing in the hybrid tears. Poor 18kpp or no group warriors finally getting some love, albiet backwards love... <3 you Warrior tanks *swoon*

Now that I am finished dumping gasoline I have a philosophical question to pose. It is clear that the Admins of the server have a clear mandate to what there goals with the server should look like. I think it is probably important to establish that this is the most fun I have had gaming in a long time. So why do we have a forum for discussion of anything other than eq housekeeping. Examples such as class stratagies, information requests, the library, guild recruitment and discussion, rants and flames, and happy/painfull/sad/love/sexual stories? Why do we have a discussion forum for game mechanics since anyone with a brain can get themselves a list of patchnotes and follow along?

Regardless of the changes the devs make, I love everquest to much to make some kneejerk decision. After the global OOC change my opinion on the "classic at all cost" versus "classic feel, but lets not put in the really bad garbage" has changed. I would never willingly include myself in the "classic at all cost" group, but my problem is when I daydream about the other servers I have played on that attempted to replicate the classic experience -- Servers that have boxing where one can get a character to cap level in a matter of days where content comes faster than I can shave my legs -- I end up comming to the conclusion. To replicate the classic experience in every way you are forced to play under "classic at all cost".

I am deeply sorry for any english language errors, or canadian language rules I have used, which might offend our Erudite readers. I tried my very bestest to make this pleasant to read... Even though 1/2 of it was me flaming.

It's hilarious to think of it this way, but it makes sense. Patch day has become a scary thing.

Also, pets broke mez ALL THE TIME in classic; it caused MANY camps, raids, break-ins to fail. Do pets break mez on this server?

Yes, pets break mez on this server.

it'll be more awesome when kunark comes out. currently, a lot of people are sitting at 50, running their 2nd or 3rd alt through the grind. those are the people that are in favor of or don't care about the hybrid exp penalty.

if i remember correctly, every level 51-60 was like doing 1-50. guess we'll see how many of the current 50's want the hybrids sucking their exp at that time. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Um, I just started on this server 3 weeks ago and my highest character is my 21 Druid and I don't care about the hybrid xp penalty.

I just enjoy playing the game. A 6.7% drop in xp isn't something I even think about when inviting people to join groups. Having to kill 20 mobs instead of 19 for the same xp because there is a pally in my group makes no difference at all to me.

Aye, i quit as well because of it.
