Remove or fix experience

Postby Tacheron » Tue Mar 08, 2016 11:51 pm

Experience is no longer a factor for me or any of my alts even with full studies, chain studying mirkwoods, I have an extra 10-15k at all times. Even if I do get low, I can get a couple thousand in 5 minutes by running around the new resource nodes, willows and regular stuff. Maybe reduce the experience gain a bit on everything or just call it quits and remove it altogether.

Isn't it mainly intended to reduce effectiveness of botting? It shouldn't get in the way of players playing normally; only bots should run out of experience.

That said, I agree that exp gain is currently a bit excessive. I'm constantly using Mirkwoods and my exp is only increasing.

Like I said, you can replenish a couple thousand in a few minutes, enough for any character, botter or otherwise.

experience have always been a mechanic to keep alts you log onto to stand infront of a cupboard full of mirkwoods while you do something else. it the idea wasnt to add another headache for actualy people playing, in that aspect experience work, plus the flavor text gives a little more color to the game

Still requires you to leave your base and play a bit though

Removes the incentive to have 5 alts chain studying in complete safety with no combat abilities or discoveries

This I agree with. Just saying the experience gain should be nerfed a bit. Like 20% or so overall. Maybe heavier nerfing on the new resources, they're all like 200-300xp

There were a lot of illogical decisions made before the start of this world such as adding stat caps but also adding other items/resources that allowed for significantly increased LP and attribute gain than the previous world which had no stat caps. The point of experience was to help reduce the impact of custom client features like the auto curio from being as useful as it was and still is so I think in that regard it has failed especially considering what was already mentioned about the experience of the new resources. Mirkwoods aren't the only curio used for this but they are the best one for sure.
