Default Quick question on exp pen.

Does the racial penalties, say from a troll, effect the whole group when grouping if they are in the party or just the individual player... Heard this so much last night, and I always assumed that it was just the player who got the penalties and not his whole party if he is in the group with them..

I believe racial, class, and hell penalties are all equally shared among the group.

There was a patch recently that discontinued the sharing of racial and hell level exp penalties with the group. You only get their class penalty now iirc...

Correction: Hell Level exp penalties were removed per patch notes, not racial penalties. My eyes be playin' tricks on me...

Some sort of penalty is definitely shared.

I was grouped in solb a while back, our lvl 45 Ogre Sk (second lowest penalty I believe) and my 45 Halfling Rog (Second highest bonus) we were getting Equal exp.

Though there were 2 other hybrids in group so if class penalty is shared we may have just been brought down to a maximum penalty and been gaining minimum exp...

so if there's six troll sks in a hypothetical group, would the group just have a fucking ridiculous penalty? or does the group only get a single troll-sk penalty applied to it?

this game is so hard omg

The penalties are spread evenly throughout the group. If you have six troll SKs, the penalty is just the troll SK penalty (68%) with the full group bonus added on (10%), so it'll be something like a 58% penalty. If you have a group of five wood elf druids (no penalty or bonus) and a theoretical race+class that has a 60% penalty, then everyone has a 10% penalty, and as always the group bonus is factored in. I haven't heard of any recent P99 patch removing penalty sharing, but I'd be interested in any information/evidence about it. The premise of the penatly/bonus sharing is that everyone in the group should level equally fast, assuming you're the same level. I don't remember what's done when people of different levels are in the group, except that mob exp is calculated based on the highest-level person - so if it cons light blue to that person, you're gonna get reduced EXP from it.

Is there any proof of this? It makes so sense that a if you have one Troll in a group of humans that everyone takes an XP hit. If that's true then a full group of SK Troll's would get nothing. Personally when grouping, I have not noticed a slower XP gain because of this.

There has to be some sort of shared penalty, theres no way a halfling rog and ogre sk would be gaining equal exp otherwise...
