Solo xp still brutal

[skorge]

I've been soloing since level 35, im almost 43 now...the solo exp you earn here is fine, but it's way less than if you were in a full group and all members were active. That's okay though.

The main reason I've soloed 35+ is to max my skills. My skills were lacking because I was leveling up so fast via groups, so I decided to step back and focus on my skills. When I hit 45 I will go back to grouping.

I know what you are saying though, but the reason they did this is to encourage people to group. I'm glad they did it this way. If anything you can always grab some leechers to boost your exp, however be careful of adding hybrid classes to leech with you, me and a friend has noticed negative exp gains by adding hybrids to your leeching group.

Thats exactly the thinking that isnt mine.

Im not trying to min max xp, i like grouping. I dont care if its slower a bit than soloing, its more fun.

My proposition goes along with what the rule mechanics want to encourage, grouping. It just makes soloing less tedious at low levels were population is lacking, to make people stick around a bit more until groups can be formed.

With the 4 hours of yesterday hard grind solo, today i could only take 30 mins of it. Because xp in group is so leaps and bounds better than solo, i feel like im wasting my time (more so, its boring). So im logging off to my main unfortunately, when i want to play my lowbie.

There will probably be people late afternoon, but what happens to me now will probably happen to other people. Log in, oh theres nobody, log off instead of stickin it out till someone else comes along. Like i was saying, it sets off a chain reaction of logging off, which a slightly better solo bonus would help prevent.

If some people in this thread dont seem to get it, i hope my point is not lost to devs and GMs.

Server is doing great, im happy about the group bonus mechanic, this is just a little tweak that would make the changes even more successful.

if you don't want to play here, sell your rubi bp and gtfo and go to blue. On blue you can group all day.


XP rate is fine, they're not going to change it because some snowflake thinks it's too slow for his taste.

Red server is not for the weak. You're going to really hate it when you're forced to lns out of your xp spot.

This kind of hateful, stupid chewie-like stuff is one of the reason why red was and is doing so badly (noting that it got a great boost with the group bonus xp mechanic). We need fresh new blood, group bonus a great step in the right direction toward that, my tweak would help it even more. The GMs and devs cant change the behavior of angry, bitter, hateful nerds like this guy, which are plentiful on the server. They can however attract new people to the server which could help marginalise these people.

no, your tweak will make it so that it's easier to solo than to group. The choice of whether to pvp or group will be back to pvp all players on sight. what you're suggesting is stupid, you just don't know it. The gm's have a good balance of solo to group xp and they're not going to spend the time to script the xp to scale by population.

play the game, enjoy your xp bonus, stop crying.

Not at all, did i suggest something like 200% solo bonus? I suggested 5 or 10% less than duoing. Im done "discussing" with you.

If i was derubael id go on a hunting spree for a week and forum permaban people who post shit like this outside of rants and flames. Forum makes red look bad.

If they dont get the message carrying over their next account, suspend their in-game account for a month. With a sustained effort like this it would clean a big part of forum behavior for a long time. Only the most dedicated trolls like Cast would keep it up. Temp bans on people once in a while just drains forum mods time and energy and has no lasting effect IMO. A 2 week drive push, with suspensions carried over to in-game IPs would have a lasting effect.
