Pet xp
 
Pet's stealing half the xp at launch ain't classic.

You're right, it's not classic. It should be a lot worse: pets should steal xp even in groups.

How is this different than the old way for non-Dire Charmed pets?

In the old scheme, if a pet did more than half of the damage to a monster, it took half the experience reward.

In the new scheme, pets take zero experience unless no player does damage. If no player does any damage, then the pet takes 75% of the experience reward This means that it's much easier to make sure a pet doesn't take any experience from you or your group.

What? Did you even read that thing? If I do ANY damage to the monster, the pet gets no EXP. If I'm in a group, and the pet is the only one that does damage, then it gets 75% of the xp...

Do you understand that this is a classic server and we are meant to be using the "old scheme", not the one Rich Waters implemented in Luclin?

Godofsmurd 10-28-2019 03:59 AM

How do we know the old scheme meant the version we have at launch?

Dolalin 10-28-2019 04:14 AM

You tell me, you seem to know how things were at launch. :D

So right now you don't even have to do 51% damage to get full xp? just 1+ damage?

Situation 1 - You are soloing and you have a summoned pet or a charmed pet (not including Dire Charm)- * If you do any damage to the monster at all, you get all of the experience. * If you don't do any damage to the monster, the pet gets 75% of the experience.

TLDR for the peoples

Have you heard of the conceptual tool 'timeline'?

Reecon 10-28-2019 11:37 AM

This is one of those things that will not be getting changed, it is this way for a reason, so mages dont just sit their pets on a spawn the pet can solo and then go afk or just sit there watching TV the whole time while not even touching their keyboard, FYI that tactic isnt a good ideal even if you invite another mage into group to take away the pet exp penalty cause afk lvling this way is frowned upon by staff on p99
