Classic SOE Overnerf

Modus · #1 07-01-2010, 06:50 AM

Yall are keepin' it classic! But maybe not in the way you intended...

Experience rate is about half of that in classic EverQuest, as it stands right now.

I know you'll probably reply with some knee-jerk "You dont remember classic" reply, but believe me, I 3-box-power-leveled characters on Ebay during classic to pay for my first car. I have a pretty firm grip on the experience gain of every class, at every level range, in the classic era.

Something since the exp patch has caused a significant miscalculation in experience gain.

A solid, efficient 6-person group should gain 1 yellow an hour at lvl 20+. An efficient duo or trio, especially of pet classes, can gain up to twice this or more. Currently experience gain is half or 1/3rd that rate.

Please look into this before discrediting my judgment.

This miscalculation is effecting groups, even if the level disparity is just 1-3 levels.

I strongly agree... Level disparity is an insane exp sink, not to mention overall exp gain being very low for soloers...

The experience awarded to a full group has not changed since before the patch. Only the division of that experience amongst the group members was adjusted.

The experience awarded to solo players has not changed since before the patch.

However, light blue mobs (which shouldn't even exist, per classic con system) have had their experience awards significantly reduced. I suggest seeking more level appropriate challenges.

As it was before (I dont know about now), I thought exp is about half of what classic was. I thought I remembered something about it should take 23 even con mobs per level. I don't know where I remember that from.

I have too many things I am working on, so I don't have time to find the data on this.

Find it. Prove it. And maybe it will get changed. Bum is working on the exp stuff, so it's not me you need to convince.

Then something went wrong somewhere.

Classic is classic.

Done is done.

Get over it.

Provide some data to back up your claims.

For starters, what class and race are you?

What level are you?

What con/level are the mobs you are killing?

...

Which patch on P99 contained adjustments to the experience system? I looked over the past few change logs and couldn't see any mention of it. Thanks!
