EXP Rates

[Folder]

I'm ok with kill 50x mobs (as long as there's something decent at the end of it), but getting 50x items is poopers. Especially if you're in a party, that's a lot of drops. I get what you're saying about grinding anyway and I don't think it's a huge deal, just wanted to throw it out there.

I liked the fetch quest in wiken, more of those are cool. Any variety is good really. A quest like "find x npc" would be cool especially if you can make him wander around a specific area.

I think at the end of the day the xp req is just too high to keep leveling fun and lowering it will make everything feel better.

What about the average EXP dropping around 25-50mil per class with max 350, then based on what people are mostly saying:

Assassins=350mil
Barb=275mil
Bard=300mil
Cleric=300mil
Druid=325mil
Knight=275mil
Monks=350mil
Necromancer=350mil
Paladin=300mil
Ranger=300mil
Sorc=350mil
Thief=250mil

For combat healing we'll give a test soon on something lower. I want to test something but need to think up an idea for it.

The way these values were lowered, might as well make the exp ceiling cap at 325mil across the board

Dont lower the exp again lol Its fine where it's at. Exp is already lower than Rok's was and leveling has been pretty easy for me. I think everyone else is doing it wrong.

You cant treat the populus the same as you and Brotherhood Cere. New players arent offered all the advantages players like you and myself possess. The needs of the may type of situation.

Gotta thing a bit bigger than that Cere. I could have my 3rd 25 by this weekend if I wanted, but that sure as hell is nowhere near your average player. That doesn't mean leveling is easy just because some of us are very dedicated.

Chris those tables look fine to me, except that I think bard should be upped to 300. They will be very strong with the new changes.

What Im getting at is this, he's already lowered the exp because of people complaining. Now he's looking at doing it again because of complaining.

If you keep lowering it and making it easier to get to 25, you're going to end up with a bunch of tavern sitters who own 100 25ers that dont play the game anymore. It's what happened when he did the super exp/ super gold thing pre-wipe.

Everybody and their brother went out and made 1 25er of each class, sometimes more than 1 of each. Then sat around and did nothing or stopped logging in.

The grind is meant to make players stick around, keep coming back, etc....aka give players something do to each day.

I say leave the exp caps where its at for now. Let us the builders get our areas and content in. Let players experience it, level in it, etc....Then revisit this idea.

The world is very small right now, but we've got a lot of stuff that going to be coming out soon that should make the leveling a bit easier closer to 25.

Anyways thats my opinion. Please dont kill the game!

Ardrahz, Im really not sure what you mean? How does brotherhood and myself treat the population? How do I have an advantage? Not sure what you're getting at with your post.

Giving thieves the ability to dual wield for more damage would be interesting, or perhaps give them the ability to use bows like rangers can. Instead of a backstab with a dagger, they would get a sneak attack, possibly with a lower modifier to make up for the difference in damage. This would also serve the purpose to further differentiate thieves and assassins.

That's actually a cool idea.

Would it be called backstabbing though. I mean, it is, but backstabbing with an arrow i guess. In turn would be 10% more damage.

I'm the laziest guy around its why i wont make another char. but i got to level 25 within 2 weeks easily... def shouldn't lower XP.

@Cere - calm down, dont go getting your pumpkin spice latte yet sweetheart.


I meant we have access to more knowledge, better equip, FRIENDS, and other advantages that MIGHT NOT be offered to newer players.

Not that you and BH cheat or blah blah wtf ever.
