Quest Issue: quest experience very broken

[soronil]

Have practiced quests a ton in south qeynos. on blue and green beta over the last few weeks, with hundreds of other people

Quests are not giving Exp. Kwint's Quest, Behroe and Aenia, etc. It prints EXP message but gives not EXP. I got exp a few times out of >20 turn ins.

Many other people reporting same issue

on several of these quests I got good exp a few times, then it suddenly changed [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Got .5 of a level at level 3 from 16 bone chip turn ins in Kaladim (64 chips).

Should have been ~2 levels. This was the case on both Blue and Green beta.

Seems as if the max quest xp cap may have been slashed. IIRC it was ~13%.. now it's closer to ~3%.

Can't help but think the quest nerf was intentionally done.

Confirm that this is completely broken. This is 100% not classic.

speculation: devs freaked when someone dinged 2 within 30 seconds (halfling@reebo) and overreacted, shut it all down.

pretty lame if so. going from everQUEST emulator to everCampOneRatSpawn emulator

Here is a germane comment from another thread in the green server discussion section.

Well, this was simple to look up.

Comment made by DE, July 2000 - "This quest got my DE enchanter from level 4 to 8 with 3 bags of bone chips."
Either a change is made to a server to make it more classic, or it's made to take it somewhere else.

How disappointing.

They upped the spawn rate and put a throttle on Quest XP for lauch. Both are totally reasonable. I imagine things will return to normal once the chaos subsides.

Yeah I would totally rather camp a single large rat spawn for hours and get ks'd than have a reasonable alternative or running around qeynos doing quests for the first few levels

This only made the bottlenecks / newbie clusterfuck way worse than it needed to be. Who cares if someone gets to level 5, or 10 a little faster because they did their homework and found a strategy. Is it not classic? Was there not a beta in 1999 where people could do the same thing?

Besides there are now people north of 10. EverQUESTers will never catch up.

Can you guys please turn quest exp back on now?
