PvP exp loss

[jdklaw]

i skipped to page 15, did ecoli come in here crying about xp loss?

Killing yourself is a pve death

[Etris]

Solution -

Increase XP Rate PvE
Remove XP Penalty PvE Death

Increase XP Penalty PvP Death
PvPing gives XP

Can exploit the hell out of xp gain through pvp. Seems like it'd be pretty damn hard to figure out a way where it wouldn't be exploited.

[Etris]

I suppose? But you'd be deleveling someone else to PL yourself.

Probably faster to just have a druid pull 100 mobs and PL you than exploiting PvP XP.

only gain or lose exp from characters 4 lvls above/below you? and not make the gain as big as the loss

[Etris]

Also you guys should take out "Encumberance" in the game and make all items stackable.

Just sayin.

Heres my process, each time i die (Hint: if youre in a zone where pvp is happening alot, which i saw a few times FF vs Nihilum, you will do this as a shaman a couple of times within 30 minutes):

- Med up, while im doing that:

- Load up all my buffing spells

- buff up

- remove all buffing spells

- Load up my pvp set of spells

- med some more

- If im with pvp buddies, gonna have to buff em too after running to the regroup point.

- Med some more

- Run to wherever i died

- Loot my corpse

So to everyone saying that pvp death needs to sting, thats a penalty enough for me. Im already looking at other games (DayZ) to get my pvp fix. I would put my hand in the fire that its because xp pvp death with all the xp and medding hassles combined is why we saw so little of pvp happen compared to what happened on Rallos.

Just playing for a few days reminds me of the pvp process of EQ in general and on this box. XP loss really needs to go. We dont need this on top of the rest of the hassle of dying.

Im willing to take all this, but with xp loss on top, since im really not a PVEer and dont get the option to put PVE on hold indefinitely while i PVP, the bad outweights the good.

Example: On rallos i had a couple of toons which i used strictly for pvping, like a lvl 12 wizard. Here its impossible to have that, just have an alt to jump in for some pvp fun for a couple of hours, without the need to PVE to keep him there.

One more time: Example: On rallos i had a couple of toons which i used strictly for pvping, like a lvl 12 wizard. Here its impossible to have that, just have an alt to jump in for some pvp fun for a couple of hours, without the need to PVE to keep him there.


Blah blah blah cant take EQ. Youre right, cant take EQ like this, boring. XP loss in pvp is bad from so many angles

Even though I originally said I was for exp loss, I am now definitely against it. I still don't think that item loot should be a part of the game though. imo the two topics shouldn't be treated as mutually exclusive in any argument

XP loss is cool in classic, but kunark xp rates with xp loss=insanity
