Hybrid XP penalties

What would really help would be exp bonus pots. +.5 increments. Make them so they stack, but with each new potion the effect gets halved. They could drop off of mobs created on the fly, by gm's ready to take your visa #.

Choice, that is all we demand. Just like in real life, the game should vary based on your ability to pay.

Also, res pets. You should be able to buy a pet that is summoned whrn you die and rezzes you.

Also, instanced dungeons.

Yeah except the hybrid penalty is being removed when Velious hits so your snarky argument is irrelevant and contributes nothing to the discussion. It's not like I'm suggesting AAs or augments here.

As one of the two rangers that was in Taruk's group, I feel that I can confirm that we weren't weak, and that the xp penalty wasn't a big deal.

The real problem was that he was a 15 in a group with 20s, imo.

well now


war can to solo but with understanding you will have down time. Bind wound skill is your friend. IS IT THE FASTEST SOLO XP ? Hell no but it can be done just have to keep an open mind.

Ranger can solo in any outdoor zone even more so at 15 when he/she gets harmony. use your bows to soften your target up before you have to melee. you will use ton of arrows but you can do it. again keep open mind.


it is in most situation way way way better to group , but that is not always possible. while you wait lfg is it better to sit on you but doing nothing or kill a mob and sit down and med / get hp back ?

I really hope you didn't construe my post as anything to do with our group - Velious removed hybrid penalties for a reason, because they suck and hurt the individual as much as anyone they group with, and I think we should get that change put in now instead of waiting for Velious 'just cuz'

It seems I'm outvoted in this regard so we'll just have to wait.

(that said, if you think that extra 40% for each hybrid in the group doesn't add up to some shitty penalties for the rest of the group I think you are mistaken)

isnt iksar monk exp penalty worse than bard/ranger/paladin? no one seems to complain about having iksar monks.

Been soloing KC on my ranger since 51, dunno where everyone gets these weird misconceptions from.

Grouping with a hybrid doesn't mean everyone gets a rediculous xp nerf, http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...ad.php?t=24405 It just depends on everyone's total xp if I'm not mistaken, being with someone higher level than you can be more detrimental to Xp than a hybrid.

At least ducking interrupts spellcasting on your server. If I were nilbog I'd nerf that for you guys if you kept this sort of thing up :P

I'd be fine with them being gone just because in this case, I don't think they add anything to the game only subtract from it.

Just like I don't want the classic experience of having the boat disappear when I zone and appearing in the middle of the ocean 20% of the time while taking the boat to Butcherblock.
