Gwence, are you saying this is Modus?

[Mady]

I'm very slow, so please be patient.

I have a SK alt that I realised, on making, had a -40% exp penalty. No problem.

But, from what i am understanding, I beileve, is that if I am invited to a group the entire group gets the 40% penalty.

Is this correct?

[Tivoli]

Can I also go offtopic, call Modus a cheating loser and get a nice GM reply?

Man, I'm not even gonna try.

Aeolwind, please ban this troll like Arriva was.

Oh wait, Gwence is from Inglourious Basterds, nevermind.

lol, Modus has more enemies than cancer. Banning everyone that didn't like him would most likely take out 3/4ths the server.

Consequently, I didn't ban Arriva. I actually replied to the post since it was directed more at the dev staff.

And unless they have a sig plate that advises of affiliation; I've no idea what guild they're with. And I'm just as likely to ban one of my RL friends that play as I am someone with 2 posts like yourself that troll. Probably faster.

Way off topic, but does anyone remember Bass Mannings? (not sure why I thought of that).

not exactly, as i understand it you take 40% more experience from a kill than everyone else.

for example if a mob gives 1000 exp and you are in a group with 5 people who have no penalty/bonus, then you take ~233 xp and everyone else gets ~153 (note an equal 6 way split would be ~167 each). the effect is the whole group levels at the same pace.

so each person gets an 8% penalty to make up for your 40%. correct me if i'm wrong please.

[Mady]

Ok Landis, thanks for the explanation. I appreciate it.

Originally I thought that if a normal kill was equal to 1 blu bub for none penanlized members, that's what they would get, and I would just get 60% of a blu bub for the kill.

You have the right idea, but I'm pretty sure the hybrid will in fact still level SLIGHTLY slower but I could be wrong on that.

[Aeolwind]

I think a big thing people may have forgotten/never knew is that that penalty wasn't given to the hybrid, it was destroyed, gone for good. No one got that XP...well 'cept maybe the server.

[Tivoli]

I just don't understand why Inglourios Basterds can troll, rant, flame, bitch whatever they want and the admins even try to justify it afterwards.

I'm puzzled.
