Just for the record. There's a post in this section about xp and how it's divided. Hybrid xp penalities are applied after it's divided, and do not apply to the rest of the group...according to the post.
Kind of, not really.

The "XP Penalty" is a bit of a misnomer, or at least it's commonly misunderstood to mean hybrids receive less XP per kill than other classes.

Everybody gets the same number of XP points per kill, regardless of anything... it just requires hybrids more of those total numbers to gain the same percentage of a level. That's the penalty: hybrids need more XP.

So, if you're grouping with a hybrid that is the same level as you, that hybrid is sucking up more of the XP than if you grouped with a hybrid that has the same number of XP points as you (and would most likely be a lower level than you).
The referenced thread, btw: http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...ad.php?t=24405

A same-level hybrid has more total XP and therefore eats a larger chunk of the pie.
