Default Does Hybrid Penalty (still) apply to group?

This is starting to bug me, I'm 99.9% sure the hybrid penalty applies to the group, as numerous posts here indicate, but lately in-game people seem to be citing some mysterious "patch notes" from "a couple weeks ago" that say it was removed. The only patch notes I've been able to find that even mention group penalties are from July, and they are explicitly removing shared HELL LEVEL penalties.

So which is it, do we hybrids still share the penalty?

Hybrids that get picked over when the race for 60 in Kunark starts?

Hybrids that get picked over now?

Rangers?

Betty White?

Knowing the Verant changed their minds, said hybrid penalties were retarded and served no purpose, and eliminated them shortly after Velious.

I have to say the hybrid penalties become a bit hellish when you're grouped with multiple hybrids. I spent a while grouped with 2 paladins yesterday, and then some time grouped with a paladin and a ranger. That means each member of the group takes about a 16% exp penalty, right? Or is that not how the penalty works?

i wont have a problem with getting to 60 or finding groups...i have made a good impression on essentially everyone i have met. But i sure as hell wont rush to it. kunark offers alot more than a new level cap, and i plan on enjoying most every aspect of it.

you go ahead and rush to 60 if you want, but kunark will be around for a long time before another large update....might as well take your time and enjoy it

This is true, however, thats also the predominant opinion of people who already have a character at 50. Its one thing to have your main be raid-able and be able to camp some twink gear and experience the endgame. That transforms leveling into a twink hobby... It's a whole different story when you're trying to level your main.

I don't have an opinion on whether the penalties should stay or not, and thats not really the focus of the post. My beef is with the group leader that wants to replace a wizard of like level with a paladin thats 4 levels too high, especially when we already have me (biggest xp pen in the game) a ranger and a bard. Or the guy that wants to add a 6th player to the group when the 5-man group is already clearing every spawn because "the 6th guy is free" and they promptly invite a ranger to come sit around waiting on pops, for ~7% less xp for everyone.

I feel there is way too large a rift between people who mope about the xp penalties and the "min max"ers. I'm not a SK Cleric Rogue Rogue Rogue Rogue guy, but we also don't need 4 hybrids in a group, its virtually pointless to group if everyone is taking a 35% hit.

(At the same time, if any clerics and/or rogues around 37 want to group, lemme know! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] )
