Can we get rid of this xp penalty so we see more tanks?

[mischief419]

Anyone else seeing a heavy lack of tanks and hybrid variety? It'd be nice if players can play the class they want instead of focusing on the burden of the exp penalties (68% ogre sk - and group suffers penalties is sorta gross, too). No one wants to play a damn warrior because they're so boring and the alternative is this nasty penalty that everyone suffers for.

There are so many things that are not classic (which is not a bad thing), so "it's classic" is not a valid argument: Let's just talk general qol here. For or against?

If you honestly believe Nilbog would remove exp penalties as the result of a community poll, you are delusional.

I feel you but this is how it was on classic, just more tanks didn't know any better back then

the problem is just that its alot less fun playing a noncaster who cant really do much by themselves if you have bad luck and cant find a group you can get streaks of bad luck where you barely progress for days at a time

I really think SK Paladin and War are a blast to play. You can feel pretty heroic pretty often, even if you have low DPS

I have no delusions that they would ever get rid of it but considering that many things in the game are not classic, not the least of which is the knowledge of the player base, I would do away with it.

I'd argue that getting rid of it would actually create a more classic experience over all because the class spread would be closer to what it likely was originally. I have no clue what it was but I'd bet a lot of players gravitated towards paladin and shadow knight.

That said I'm maining a SK on green and I've only had one player leave a group due to the exp penalty and in that case we had three hybrids in the group.

Also, worth noting I haven't found the exp to be all that slow. Put in a decent 4 or 5 hour session and I seem to get a level. 50's will probably be boarder line unplayable though.

I think many players started a fast leveling or solo class first. To grab legendary items and overall get some cash. Tanks will come with time I'm sure.

Lol @ shitty biased poll that fails. If you’re such a wuss you can’t handle the XP penalty, don’t bother playing a skill class. Leveling is like 5% of the overall game, you spend 95+% at max lvl anyhow. Try harder [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

No.
