Do you think

That id be able to petition to recover the full amount of lost XP from a zone wide/possible server wide disconnection. It happened when I was pulling two mobs. I was able to settle on a 50% Rez but it would be nice to have the other half since it wasn’t really my fault. Thanks!

2 mobs? i respect u asking but cmon man its not even worth it. just go kill 2 more mobs.

[fadetree]

He's talking about the other 50% on the rez I think. You can petition, but I highly doubt you'd be compensated.

[Jlpstrtkng]

The two mobs are what killed me lol I lost over 20% xp that whole two hour sessions worth essentially

What level are you?

[Jlpstrtkng]

What level are you?

40. Shitty hell level

[Budder]

Don’t waste your time. Just suck it up and grind out the lost xp. I remember playing on dial up when the game first came out and every time someone called the phone it disconnected me and I usually ended up dead lol.

Were you 41 before you died? As 40 is a hell level you should only be losing a small percentage of XP on a death (death penalty is determined by how much XP was required to complete the previous level).

Next time you might try to post your situation here and ask if someone can help with a rez. Cant say for sure someone would respond but you would be suprised how helpful and friendly people are around here.

That sucks. Exp loss is 10% of the prior level.

No suck it up buttercup!

That's right kids! So avoid dieing after completing a hell level!

The entire zone went LD almost instantly I just got unlucky that it happened to me in the middle of a pull :/ We were wrecking it too

[Jlpstrtkng]

By the way I heard they murdered that all gold Indian dude from your meme. Super dark ending to that story

Looks like XP loss from deaths should be capped lower than it is currently is: https://web.archive.org/web/20000620004307/http://eq.castersrealm.com/viewarticle.asp?Article=1535



The harsh death penalties in this game seem to be exacerbated by post-50 play. It's outrageous enough that 4+ hours can be wiped out by one death, to lose 10+ hours is unreal.

Actually we've capped the amount of experience that can be lost at one death to roughly what a human warrior loses in the low 50s.
