Cannot into EXP

Postby Ninijutsu » Sat Sep 19, 2015 7:49 am

I've done everything that would trigger an EXP event that I've done before, and I've done several which I haven't discovered before but know exist, and I still cannot get EXP. What's going on here?

You studied too many mirkwoods. Its just bad luck, play actively and do stuff for few days and you should get some.

as I understand it, since a friend of mine had the same problem early game that left him studying nothing for a full week, it wants you to get a certain lore event before it'll trigger any others, but the problem is that since it's totally random you could do the thing it wants 100 times and not get the lore popup, with my friend that had the same issue it was "crafted with love" once he got that he was getting exp again as normal.

it's really nasty when you get stuck in it because progression is what keeps you playing most of the time.

Lol my friend was stuck too. Guess what lore did he need? Meet a dawn at the mountain. Meet a fucking dawn at the mountain.

That was his first lore on the char btw.

i think it resets after a time though, everytime i login in the morning i get a bunch of easy ones right away like walk on grass, see a cave, etc, which i didn't get the evening before in the same area.

that doesn't seem to help with characters that are getting stuck out of exp for weeks at a time.

I should make a megathread for this.

yes you should.

Usually when my char sticks lifting a table and putting it down unsticks it. But I don't really have any advice beyond that.

Keep an XP buffer to ride out the 2-3 days when you stick waiting for the IRL time to decay some.

Maybe we should have a "deck" of events... maybe 4 or 5 events that we qualify for EXP... and ONE of those effects is a Wild Card of sorts that we also get bonus XP and/or LP. When we get one, this deck it "shuffled" and we draw a new hand. Maybe if can have a multiplier involved where if you have an EXP event for the first time, or the first time in a 24 hour period, or once per "reset" when play time is filled up.

Another idea: make a list of unique actions(like chopping a tree, digging, fishing, opening a door, shooting an arrow, etc.). Have XP slowly regenerate for the first 30 minutes, then stop. When enough unique actions are done, just reset the timer.
