server xp bonus - Page 6

Sarkov · #51 10-14-2011, 06:17 PM

@ Lovely, I think the point is that people will need to feel a general sense of progress. If it is too hard to level up on the server, people will just quit. An xp bonus helps offset the sting of losing xp progress to pvp death.

I don't really care one way or the other, again. But the idea that, over time, the population would stabilize at a lower number with zero xp bonus vs. a slight bonus makes sense to me. And FWIW I agree that a very high xp bonus would cause a lot of disinterest as well, for obvious reasons.

Also, I have 3 50+ characters on P99. The slowest to level (coincidentally my first character) took about a month of moderately heavy play (I had a full time job but was single at the time.) I think my necro took something like 2.5-3 weeks? *shrug*

One month, that's it?

Took me a lot longer than that on live that's for sure... Also PVP makes it a wee bit harder to level.

Meh i'm not adamant about any one thing myself. Just that the server is made with quality care and not going to be just released and penetrated in every orface by item / plat / dupers / hax.

besides server quality my only preference would be that it stays classic in XP and XP deaths. I can handle losing XP on a PVP death because I will grind XP fast as anyone and have 50 maxed ready to burst, but. Xp death on PVP death isn't classic.

I think the 6 Level before PVP would be nice for those new and transitioning to PVP so they can at least get some stuff before they get attacked by zerging nerds. But in this case since I want to keep classic. PVP at level 1? or 2? is fine... w/e...

What was your /played on the necro?

I don't remember to be honest. I made it only to farm gear for my 3rd 50 which was a ranger. I can't check now because he has hundreds of hours spent farming FBSSs and such. I would probably guess 6-8 days /played but I didn't really just go crazy solo grinding. I like to group and whenever I could find one levelled in dungeons (mistmoore/sol b). Also it was spring 2010 so it's been a while.

I should say moderately heavy play for me is ~6-12 hours a day.

Valithteezee: I honestly don't know if P99 was faster, or if I am just WAY more hardcore of a player than I was on live. It took me FOREVER to hit 50 on live.

There is a game called "Guildwars" that you dont really have to level or PvE in, just PvP. You might like it.

Guild Wars makes me sad. And guild wars 2 gets even more undeserved hype than SWTOR. All games with PvP that is "staged" (and yes I include DAoC in this because you PvP in a giant gd battleground not in "the world") is only fun in small doses. If I wanted to play team death match I'd totally rock an FPS not an RPG.
