If pvp exp was increased, what % and why?

[Palemoon]

148 people voted yes for an XP increase. Who are these select "trolls" you speak of? Seems like you are the one trolling us, Bro.

On the progression server, when they put classic style corpse runs to a
"player vote" the players also voted for no corpse runs.

Most players will always take the ez way out and choose the path of least resistance.

[Slug]

They shoud go play EQlive then, I hear the recruit-a-friend program they have has a permanent 200 percent xp bonus or some such. Try it out.

This is supposed to be 1999 EQ.

Completely irrelevant. If 75% of the server wants an experience increase, and you do not, why don't you create your own classic EQ emu. It doesn't matter what 'this is supposed to be' - it matters what it is. If making a change in the interest of 75% of the server happens, you need to go find another server to commit 40 hours a week to pixels.

Not to mention, as it has been repeated numerous times, exp loss on PVP without exp bonus is NOT CLASSIC.

bkab you talk a big game for someone who plays a clowndog pvp class

play something that requires skill then you can say something about pvp and leveling

a shaman can solo easily , granted you will be close to worthless later , point remains you are a scrub

I completely agree with you and was vehement in my defense of not putting it in.

However, I talk to people, I read the boards. The population is either all mostly at the top or just nearly barren at low lvls.

They came here to PvP, don't find it and leave. Why are they on a PvP server with no PvP if they already (likely) have a character on blue where there is more content?

Players always asking for "gimme things" is pretty well known for the majority of gamers. Hence popularity of WoW etc.

My defense involves 2 things

1. CLASSIC - pvp servers with xp loss on death had a bonus. NO DISPUTE.

2. *Many* people have come here and said they are leaving due to no pvp/groups at low levels. Stop repeating this mistake. (Heresay, take it as you will) New people have come and messaged me from their lowbies asking me shit like I can do something about this.

You can absolutely justify the 20%-25% xp as classic and more than this may not necessarily be better. To be fair most of us were willing to look the other way on 8 levels and no item loot on an FFA server, which, NEVER FUCKING EXISTED in classic.

After this fyi we're going to "bitch" about resists next, we want a server with lots of people. Inb4 people have left based solely on the forums. Inb4 people quit cuz they get killed and cry.

Have you ever tried grouping with your friend who is a troll shadow knight and watched your exp gain grind drop to 1/3 of a percent per kill? Have you ever told your friend playing a monk to sit his ass down in a corner for the next couple days and don't move so the magician fire pet can tank with ds?

I play a Monk and no one has asked me to sit down :P

Seriously what are you rushing for ? You will make more XP by grouping than soloing and it's more fun so bring along your Troll Shadow Knight friend.

The push to trivialize P99 is like a petition to have the Boston Marathon only be 5 miles long because it take too long to run 26 or that lazy people should be able to ride bikes because running is boring.

The Marathon is a Marathon not a 5k walk for breast cancer, it is a test, a trail an accomplishment.

[Nirgon]

Yeah I felt real accomplished when I dinged 50. More like relieved.

I've played the lowbie levels before. I like lvl 44+ pvp.

Moreso, the point is people having to BASICALLY PLAY SOLO EQ for 42 levels when they came here to PvP.

20% isn't a killer and some people might even break even (or worse..) with the # of pvp deaths they will take.

Yes, I know there will always be whiners, even with +100% xp people were complaining about how slow it was. Fuck them.

[Vile]

so happy i didn't make too far passed snake quest

[Rutaq]

big deal he said it comes out to 40% he didnt say he would do anything

just means he loaded this forum and kept the troll going

newsflash 40% will not save the server you ignored it too long

even 100 is iffy xp is just too slow to sustain normal functioning members of society

assclowns on the other hand multiply like metroids and dont care if you slash xp in half , they will still grind up druids so they can be mad at eachother and waste mana for nothing


Steak obviously you have given up so just move on already. You seem like a nice enough guy, ... jaded and cynical but nice enough...

Your dark view of things isn't reality.

I am a new player in a guild with at least a dozen other new players that started over the last month. So maybe some of the jaded Vets have given up but there more than enough new folks to make up for them when they finally leave and stop haunting the forums.

[steakshop]

your 13 talk to me when you are 35 and see the exp

by then your new friends will be mostly gone also and youll be like everyone else
youll see most people here are assholes , most people hate eachother , youll be in a guild with no one , unable to solo and your gaming experience will change alot

at level 12 i was having fun too , shit i could even solo blues !

Was fun : )

[Haul]

should remain the same, classic

[steakshop]

natural not everyone is top 5% dude you have a zergling guild and played a caster

and you play like 12 hours a day

NORMAL people dont have that kind of time , and no they wont play a couple hours here and there to get 50 in 4 months


weve been through this

Yes let's ask the guy who has no experience with how empty the server is or no idea how gay it's going to get for him. I say we just take his assumptions on the situation instead of people who have been here and have seen the population dwindle and tons of people give up.

[Bkab]

lol i remember we were always falling behind the group to smoke in order to bare that terrible grind. 6 trolls/ogres all warriors, shamans and shadow knights grinding on tree snakes from lvl 2-10 pretty much in sro.

[Nirgon]

I did that shit too. Everyone was a good race but me in my squad (Team BundyQuest) so I got to turn in a whole level worth of fangs/skins at the end.

But as a new player, I am low level and see what low level RED looks like, I live it and it isn't all doom and gloom as the jaded , impatient, Vets make it out to be. In reality the EQ Classic grind isn't scaring away all new players just the weak ones :P

Granted things may change when I get to the 30's like Steaks eluded to but for now things are moving along and my guild and I are having fun.

I think the staff are more likely to compromise between the two most popular options. The mean of 100 and 0 is 50. While I think 50% is a bit excessive, when we did have a (temporary) 50% bonus it really wasn't that fast and I don't think it would kill the legitimacy of the server. However, for me to agree with any of this (and my support is crucial, after all I'm a very powerful and important person), the red community MUST sign an agreement saying they were not hardcore enough for classic exp, and that bluebies are superior.

The people wanting to keep the xp classic has more votes then the 100 percenters, so no.

All the people wanting xp bonus are wanting to change what was advertised and attracted us all to this server in the first place, a 1999 style EMU. Please go to WoW and dont ruin it for those of us who signed up for 1999 style EMU.

BUT.. as someone who did play on Sullon Zek after rallos, I can accept a xp bonus so long as it is NOT more then 20 percent. Preferably scaled with levels to help the lower levels, even better if that bonus was applied to large/full groups to encourage the soloers to group and help build community.

Above 20 percent? Thats Monty Hall.

[Ssleeve]

25% ~ Fuck other people, they are dumb.

Same reason why democracy doesn't work.

[steakshop]

bluecross you will change your mind when you get higher level and see how little xp stuff gives trust me

[Arillious]

Vast majority want a change of some kind.

If it brings back 20% of the people who are saying "Exp rate is the reason i quit" then its worth it.

We all know that putting in a exp bonus is pretty simple.(Temp bonus's are done all the time)

Whats the hold up? Unless this slow decline is turned around soon, even the die hards are going to quit.

On a side, I think adding an additional "group exp" bonus is a good idea. Over 70% of the server is one of 6 classes: Druid, shaman, necro, bard, mage, wizard. If someone is trying to level as efficiently as possible, none of these classes should ever be grouping after a certain level(When shamans get pet, when wizards can quad, etc) as any of the other classes are just going to slow them down.

[kprobe]

rogeans scale sounds decent, I would make the overall bonus skewed even more to the low end IMHO something like 500/(x^(0.8)+5), where x is your level, or a smooth cosine curve like 50(1+cos(0.0625x)), but simple is probably best.

I feel sorry for your 40th level Monk friend.

The assumption that a drastic increase in the XP is going to "fix" EQ classic is unproven and pushing people quickly to 50 with such a limited amount of PvP content will bring about it's own set of problems.

Sucking dick aside, your opinion is as valid as anyone elses.

Sucking dick aside, your opinion is as valid as anyone elses.

Please name a few of the problems in this "set of problems"
At lvl 30 I have been attacked only one time. Pushing exp to bring everyone to the same lvl is the ONLY solution to a low population server. Once everyone gets the grind out of the way, most people camp resist gear and pvp. This is what creates pvp and entertainment on the red server. Not mindlessly chipping away at 50 lvls in some armpit of a zone that maybe gets 3 people to it max a day.

[nabsev]

What's so bad about cutting 15 days played to lvl 50 by 20-100%? Anyone scared of losing low to mid lvl pvp is being unrealistic since there is barely any at that lvl range anyway.

[Billbike]

Low level pvp :

Omg 1 more yellow till 20 and tracking!

Omg I'm getting attacked, but this mob is almost dead.

Hmm fight and possibly die, lose an hour or more worth of CR/EXPLOSS/breaking room/spawn again?
Fuck that, I need 50 so I can camp pixels.

You begin casting Gate.

Peace.

That was sooo much FUN.

There has to be some grind to 50 and make it worth it, or else ur gonna have poeple exploiting cheating ect all have chars back to 50 in a day or 2, i know u guys hate "this grind" but on the other boxes nobody did "this" grind i havn't dont this "grind" since like 2003 2002ish. 100% is to much anywhere between 15-20% is alright i think.

This is so true.

When people can just roll up throw away toons, you will see exploiting, training, etc. increase exponentially.

Keep it classic.

2nd case in point, why rush to 50? So you can quit like most other lvl 50's have done for lack of content? Enjoy the journy, go to the RnF section and check out all the lowbie pvp screenshots happening. No need to rush.

Old style EQ is about the acomplishment, once you take that away you have WoW with bad graphics. Any xp bonus over 20 percent = not classic and detracts from the acomplishment of building our mains up in a harsh red enviornment.

Keep it classic.

[Amuk]

Having a scaling exp system would take you awhile to still level your char, 40-50 would have a minimal 20% and lower bonus. Hell 35 would only have like 30%? People won't be levelling up throw away toons on this type of bonus holy smokes haha.

[Flowz]

or if u could do something like 100% for lvls 1-20, 50 % for lvls 20 - 30, and 15 or 20% for lvls 30 - 40, and make it normal for 40 - 50 that way the lower lvls go a little quicker pvp before 20 is kinda gay anyway the way the guards act everyone below 20 just runs to them anyway unless they are a twinked out char at which the other person has bascially no chance.

im all for the scaling bonus, i just dont want people to do whatever they please because they know it only takes a day or 2 to get to 50 again, or someone lvling up a few chars and then just doing what they please knowning they have lvl 50 "alts" ready to be used for whatever.

you do know that no one has been banned for anything thats been done right?

[Bkab]

btw, you guys crying about an exp increase will make people not care about getting banned act like it still will not take a full week or more of /played to get level 50 (not to mention completely re gear) even with a 20-50% exp bonus across the board which is still way too much time for us normal fucking non-wheelchair bound mongoloid mouth breathers.

[Envious]

Rogeans 100-(Lvl x 2) formula is the best option.

It should be kept for 50+ IMO, so at 59 you have a negative 18% penalty.

Help people get out of the low end, but more than earn it back during kunark

Yeah the xp sure stopped people exploiting here. They certainly got banned, learned they lesson (actually big ups to Amelinda recently) and had to reroll.

20-25% up time.

[Ssleeve]

20-25% up time.

[Silikten]

20% was classic. That is the argument for it. It is also a reasonable amount of bonus to not re-roll 10 characters. It's very logical.

Steakshop caught exploiting.

Proof here: http://www.project1999.org/forums/showpost.php?p=551217&postcount=1

Then when caught, banned, and owned, he flooded the forums with Cast in an attempt to bring negative attention to new players coming to Red99.

The current XP rate is fine. It's super cute how all the "owning joo" and "u gun b deds" tough talk all but vanished since release. This is a Classic Everquest PVP server boys, amirite?

harrison since your brother is down and coined

[fiegi]

In Harrison's fat mind 99% of eq emu players are cheaters since his logic states being guilded with someone who has exploited or hacked automatically makes you that as well.

500 players on blue suspended for macroquest, how many of those 500 players you think have been guilded with the 400 or so that weren't macroquesting?? Safe to assume an extremely high percentage, how many you think were guilded with Harrison? Guess that makes Harrison a cheater and exploiter as well.

Do everyone a favor and just cut deli meat, leave logic to the rest of us.

[Harrison]

Man, cheaters rage out when you out them. I wonder if you stamp your feet like the children that you are too?

People need to stop acting like getting exp is "difficult", it's not, it's a mindless timesink, one we've all done 1000x already. This is a PVP server, if we want to have a strong, vibrant community, we need people, and we're not going to get people by having level 50 take 13 days played.

this is true. Even a 100% exp boost wouldnt trivialize content. it would still take a good amount of time.

an increase could always disabled if it doesnt workout.

Steaks exploiting because of how absolutely terrible he is at EQ. This is the type of player that wants 100% increase in experience.

The troll account hordes voting for 100% increase can't even outnumber the legitimate votes for no experience increase at all.

20% is the only logical amount of increase, and even that is caving in to the vztzject crybabies who are very obviously incapable of handling classic EQ.

[Muck]

Why aren't you posting about issues regarding the server you actually play on? The "vztz cry babies" are almost all 50, you can't handle red, why make fun of someone for not being able to handle blue? I tried blue just before red beta, I was like oh god no I'm not spending 4 hours a level with no pvp. I clearly didn't make the cut for blue.

The abridged story of Harrison:


Unproductive goofball, nut sack fails out of school ayt Inglorious Bastards U. Decides he makes his own guild to "show them" <Gothic Circle>. Guild tanks harder than Peace Pipe or even Grindcore from red beta. A blue troll is born. He couldn't make it because everyone is a cheater BUT him. Many threads later, since in game is irrelevant, he is mercilessly insulted for his in game and real life failures. He tries to repeat the mad cuz bad and you exploit lingo he puts off. Disowned by IB, insulted by all.

Griefed off red while guilded with known trainer and exploiter, Abacab.

[SearyxTZ]

Had not gotten a chance to respond to this thread till now. I didn't bother to read most of it since it's pretty huge, so I'll stick to the original topic.

i think searyx had a really good idea as far as increasing xp for players level 25 and below then spreading that xp required among the higher levels. so you could get to level 25 faster and retain players better. i think a slight xp bump would help also.

Thanks. :)

I've already posted a lot about it. I won't rehash what I've already said.

The early xp curve is especially important because it will hook new players if they get through the early levels without too much pain (including those who quit at level 5 and were initially turned off before they became invested), and also tighten the level spread of players towards 30-50'ish (a good thing when your red server population is < 1000 -- you want players to be seeing eachother once in a while).


I also think global channels should go in. Look - there's basically two options for that right now. You keep the zone-specific channels and nobody uses them at all, because there's not enough people on the server to accommodate that. Or you make it global and retain the social aspect that made classic EQ appealing and give players something to do (auction their shit or shoot the bull in ooc) while they're medding for five minutes in between kills.

I'm really happy that this stuff is being considered and hope it goes in. It will be easier to get people playing here.

THANKS AND PRAISE BE TO YEE!

[stormlord]

100% (2x) exp increase is not enough.

Here's why:
1) server has 50 - 150 population (a fraction of live)
... it requires more time to level without solid groups
2) Pvp is an additional risk to the normal PvE
... more time to level because douche bags are griefing you
3) Most players are anon so it's harder to find groups
... the social atmosphere on eq pvp servers has always been unfriendly

I didn't vote because this poll is rigged.

Preferably, we could alter the classes to compensate for the small population. But something like that would require a lot of work (and wouldn't be like this game), so a overall exp increase would be a much quicker response. This point also applies to the blue server since it has always had less population than live.

What would I do? I would not allow people to solo in a way that's out of character for eq (even though I'd be tempted to). I do not have the design document for this game so I cannot say what population a server requires to meet its needs. But my guess is somewhere around 1000. So if this server has 80 people on average then I'd need to correct for a factor of 12. That's a large valley to fill. We want players to still seek out each other and form groups, but we cannot have it be based on needing a large group to level at an acceptable rate. There just aren't enough players. And then you have to consider the size of the continent and that this game wasn't made to allow faster travel than a druid or wizard could supply (assuming they're sufficiently available). So seeking out that 4th or 5th person that's on the other side of the world isn't practical. It's a tough call, but I'd start by doubling the overall solo/group experience. Then I'd triple the group experience bonus. So when you add a 2nd person (assuming a equal capability to yourself), you'd gain 48% rather than 16%. And when you add a 5th person (and 6th) it would be 600%. After that the factor is 1.5, so close enough. Now I would need to add an additional experience bonus to compensate for the fact that this is a PvP server, not a PvE. How much longer does it take to level up here, versus on the blue server? That would be a worthwhile thing to know. My guess is 50% longer, if you exclude the population difference. So I'd increase the overall experience by a factor of 1.5x, once more. All of this is off the top of my mind (and subject to mass error), but it would be a start.

There is something else. Before I would make up my mind, I'd examine the difference between solo classes and group-based classes. How much faster does a solo-class level up than a warrior or rogue? For example, if the population on the server was only 1, then, without grouping, what are the prospects for all of the classes to reach max level? Beyond these concerns, we also have to consider that epics and raids and certain zones depend on a person being in a group whether they're max level or not. So a single person would not be able to do them. Furthermore, people like to see other players and a empty zone is not a conducive atmosphere. I'm sure there're many other things I could list here that require more than 1 person for enjoyment of the game.

In the end, an exp gain is a bandaid fix. It's not at all preferable. If I was a warrior on an empty server, for example, no amount of exp gain is going to make the game feel fun and rich as it should be.

gonna agree with stormlord the exp bonus you guys put in is great

but it should have been 100% across the board at release , not now

im sorry but i tried playing even at 12 and im done here , im not a clown with nothing to do , i dont grind shit for 1/8th of a blue per kill it isnt happening

you still have time to save your server , put in a real exp bonus and ban the shitheads , and break up nihilum , preferably by banning their RMTs
