Duration of Shared Grp XP Penalties

[Uthgaard]

It's not like anyone is bringing up anything that hasn't already been said or answered in the first 25 pages of this 3 month old thread that someone couldnt check dates on and decided to necro.

One person's inability to read does not constitute a requirement for us to repeat ourselves until you've tired of bellyaching.

I don't mind that it takes me almost twice as much exp to level. Just don't screw with the people that let me group with them. That is the big issue with me, I will eat that penality all day long. Just don't make me dish it out to the folks that group with me. Group invites are rare as it is.

Makes me not want to grp with a hybrid but what do I care I solo

And to follow up on that, because its actually not a bug it would only seem to make sense to drop the penalty at the servers inception or on the timeline. Maybe if there is ever a second server it's something that could be implemented at the beginning along with gnome sk's and assling rangers.

along with gnome sk's and assling rangers.

That was the worst developmental decision Sony ever made allowing those two race/class combos.

So, if you're grouped the exp gets spread around so everyone levels at the same rate (without figuring in race exp penalties).

Yagear stated the above. I do not think it is accurate and would love a source. I don't think mobs give you a % of level i think they give you a set # of EXP points that gets modified by Zone/Race/class/#in group.

It's what this whole topic about, shared experience in a group, I just used parses to prove it.

Everyone shares exp in a group, which will level everyone at approximately the same rate. For example, a mob that give 1.25% exp to a SK, would give 1.25% exp to a rogue if they were grouped. Rogues need less exp to get that 1.25%.. so they'd get a smaller piece of the overall pie.

The shared exp in groups was designed by Verant so hybrids weren't left behind while leveling with their friends by 'borrowing' experience from group-mates to compensate for their class penalties.

I've read this thread up to page 6 and all I can say is, man there are a bunch of whiny selfish brats on these forums.

I had no compunction whatsoever rerolling my dorf pally here knowing that the penalties would be in place. I'm turning groups down so that my wife and I stay within a couple levels of each other.

What the hell is wrong with all of you? I agree, it's a real penalty with no good explanation, but you know what? Just play. See if you really care if you are truly playing.

Good grief.

I have thought this quite a few times while reading the boards since I came aboard. Luckily in game it hasn't been nearly that bad. So far.
