Yeah, Warriors are amazing end game with the best equipment in the game but they require sooooooo much help to get there.

It's more like a guild should get together to power level / twink their warrior.

Yeah im fine with the penalties/bonuses.. then again i play a rogue... in general i like the server though. Asking for binds, siting on docks for translocator...

Leave them in. The XP penalty was part of the 1999 experience and removing it takes away from that. If you don't have the time to put into the game then pick a race/class combo without penalties for your main and use your penalized character as an alt. The point that hybrids should have to pay for having the abilities of two classes or that certain races should pay a penalty to offset their racial advantages is as valid on this server now as it was on live in 99.

Does anyone have or able to write up a exact chart on which class / race have what penalty.

In terms of group bonuses
How it should be:

2 person group - 2% total bonus.
3 person group - 6% total bonus.
4 person group - 10% total bonus.
5 person group - 14% total bonus.
6 person group - 20% total bonus.

What is it at the moment i think:
2 person group - 2% total bonus.
3 person group - 4% total bonus.
4 person group - 6% total bonus.
5 person group - 8% total bonus.
6 person group - 10% total bonus.

How it was when P1999 was live:

2 person group - 10% total bonus.
3 person group - 10% total bonus.
4 person group - 10% total bonus.
5 person group - 10% total bonus.
6 person group - 10% total bonus.

Actually, how it is now is how it should be.

So is everything working correctly? Race/class bonus/penalty shared across board in groups and a iksar shadowknight grouped with a halfling warrior will level at the same time? Group bonus working correctly? I can't seem to find a definitive answer.

This is a very old thread, and hence the initial posts cannot be taken as accurate anymore. Take a look at the dates on the first few posts!

Penalty averaging in groups appears to work; I don't know if it's exact in terms of mechanic, but the end result is good enough. My character (a Paladin, 40% penalty) levels at the same rate as my wife's character (Cleric, normal leveling rate) when we're grouped. This was fixed quite some time ago, sometime last year.

I occasionally see groups prefer to invite, say, an enchanter over a bard, so there is some discrimination based on class penalties. However, I don't think it's too bad because the heavily penalized classes tend to do jobs which are generally in demand. The exception here might be Rangers, and that class is so heavily stigmatized that it'd have the same trouble even if it had a bonus.

People wouldn't complain so much about exp penalties if they actually made any sense.

hey im fine with the ranger having the penalty, i've played a sk once durring the 2007 progression sever, yea getting to lvl 30 before i did indeed quit took awhile

and i doubt many of any of you play adnd, going to correct on the first page what aeowind said, most or actually all the rules for classes (domintanly most) are taken from adnd

i do play dnd in fact, but atm playing 3.5 rules, after 6 months of our campaign i have my ranger at lvl 5

where before when i played adnd with a paladin after a year, was only lvl 6, usally every friday, for the last two years we have a 5-10 hour session, alot of fun, but between the two versions, its the same as mmos, ive talked to a few in game of here that played dnd, but said it took too long, im on a tangeant

so pretty much the penalties are going to stay!

have fun exping on your hybrids, its a hell of a ride

I think all other hybrids deserve the 40% exp penalty because of the utility and solo/group advantages they have... except Ranger. They should have like a %500 bonus so they would have something to bring to the group [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
