Hell levels?

You just didn't have many options because everyone was at velks pulling spiders across the awesome ice slip n slide

Getting 60 in Velks is a favorite memory of mine. I remember being amazed at my Monk buddy pulling kobolds to the frenzy camp.

The problem I have with hell levels is the fact that the xp lost on death is based on your previous level. So at level 41 when I died I would lose a full yellow of XP, whereas if I died in level 40 I would lose a portion of a blue. Death at 42? Back to a normal loss. I wouldn't care so much about hell levels if this could be addressed. This was corrected when they normalized the xp gain and spread it across all of the levels.

Are you sure that's how it works? I don't recall it being like that at all but I could be wrong. I thought the amount of xp you lost when dying scaled up evenly as you levelled (as a fixed number, not a percentage of your level). So at level 41 you'd still lose more xp numerically than at 40. As my main is a ranger, I need to know these things.

I can assure you that this is how it works. I lost 40% of my level in 2 deaths at level 41. In no other levels aside from the ones directly after a hell level have I seen such severe losses.

I actually remember this from classic live.

Hell levels were bad, but so were the levels after them, simply because the death penalty after hell levels was insane.

Right when I got 52 on my main, they removed Hell Levels.
