XP penalty vs an XP bonus in grouping.

Honestly, I'm mad that I rolled a halfling warrior for the xp bonus but I later learned how xp is really gained in a group on p99 and I feel like an idiot for not rolling ogre or troll.

Edit: I sacrificed slam and front stun immunity/regen for absolutely fucking nothing.

Fucking make your own groups and exclude ALL HYBRIDS. Also to be excluded, iksar monks, iksar necros, troll shamans.

Quit crying about how your bonus is useless. I do not invite paladins or SKs to tank in groups when my objective is grinding exp as fast as possible. I would love to have your halfling warrior tank for any group that I make.

tl;dr make groups that exclude the penalties so that your exp flies.

Man that patch can't come soon enough. So is the grouping exp bonus on blue 99 currently only 2% per member up to 10% max? I never realized it was that bad, I always thought it was 20% with full group but that letter says they implement that with the hybrid penalty removals after velious

The xp penalty is awesome. I want to get 60 before Velious hits so that i can send tells to lowbie bards: "easy mode no penalty scrub, back in my day we had to walk in the snow uphill for hours to get a single level."

It wasn't a mistake.

The logic is that if two players are equal level, they should level at the same rate when grouped. So if you take a 20.5 cleric and 20.5 shadow knight... they should take an equal number of kills to level to 21.

I did some math about this a while ago.. and its on the forums somewhere. The result is with a full group and one hybrid.. it isn't that big of a deal. Fill the group with hybrids and the clerics and warriors start to hurt.

Smart person who speaks the truth. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This, except for ranger.
