How bad?

[thrakx]

Does High lvl exp suck? You tell me!

I think its almost as bad as a poopy-flavored lollypop

[joshiasi]

kinda... but the new maps did increase the exp a bit

[Khrim]

Very bad. :(

[Xanthe]

Bad even with new maps.

[catry]

For someone who only has time for at most 3 or 4 hours a day on weekdays, it's pathetic, especially when I can lose several days worth of xp in the span of 5 minutes.
What really annoys me though is how the recent "leveling balance" has made it three times easier for lower leveled players while doing squat for those above level 50...all that's happening now is that people are reaching second class in 2 weeks where it took me nearly 2 months.
So yes. It really sucks.

[xyangster]

Bad >.<

I stopped playing my scout. And knowing that 1) my scout hasn't even hit lvl 60 yet and 2) scouts are probably the fastest at soloing at this point, I know how much worse it must be for other players. Pfffft.

[Propanol]

I really wish they would provide enojoyable aspects other than killing->killing->leveling...

[Rodaa]

technicly, i think the exp you're getting around 45ish should be the exp you're getting in the 6x levels, maybe even higher...

[Nixxy]

Its not so bad, with edine so crowded i took a break from training for a while so hopefully these new maps will allow some freedom again!

[Katlyn]

It's disheartening to think that experience is going to get worse -- as it is my two high 40's characters experience is pitiful, even when I'm on maps with pink or red mobs. The things those mobs drop are even more pitiful, but that's another topic altogether.

In response to the person who asked what we'd all do if we leveled 'too fast', if Outspark would take some time to make the quest system more fun (quests associated with the correct levels, rewards for completing the quest are actually worth the effort and/or items you need to complete the quest) and got the guild system working I think we'd all have plenty to do -- grinding day in and day out is starting to get really tedious and given that the increased stats, gear & spells are often a real letdown (I'm not seeing that the new stuff/lvl2+ spells, etc. are really that much of an improvement over the stuff you had before the upgrade), the desire to continue to grind away just to get the next level gear/spell/etc is not something that will keep me here long term.

As another online community/game eventually learned, there is no such thing as having too much fun too fast :)

[Zeltar]

anyone who's complaining in their 50s should wait till they get to 80+ to see how bad it really is.

the exp required per level goes up exponentially. so the leveling rebalance made it twice as easy at low levels, but did nothing to remove the brick wall, only delayed the brick wall by a couple of levels.

I miss doing the quests that were time consuming but didn't involve killing stuff to collect drops...enjoyable, informative, and repeatable quests like the refining test, but for higher levels would really make me happy ;_;

[Zeltar]

i haven't bothered with most quests as the reward isn't worth the time.

[catry]

I prefer quests to endless grinding...it may be time consuming yes, but I generally find that the xp and/or items was worth the time. (This only means quests where killing stuff isn't necessary, like the refining test, or the milk run...everything else really tends to be pretty lame imo << )
...basically I want a way to level that doesn't involve endless killing and mindless grinding!!! >o<

[DiforceX]

despite of the game balance changes it was a nightmare for me to lvl 54-66, now i also ask me: is it possible for me to reach the 3 cls ?
i think it is only possible for people who play a lot (maybe 14 hrs a day + )
and with exp boosts
i have not the time to play so much, it is just a question of time before i must quit again x-X

[Eupsicle]

@ Level 75+ and even in Edine, exp sucked while soloing and in pts.
Solo: Like around .03-.06 (depends on level..)
Party: .01-.03..

Boosters not included...


I was on a lvl 75+ cleric and in a pt and only gainned .02 in a full pt @ the new maps.
Haven't tried soloing yet.. xD

Exp is too low.....

[Khrim]

I really wish they would provide enojoyable aspects other than killing->killing->leveling...

It's more like...

killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing -> dying ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing -> dying ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing -> dying -> dying ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing ->killing-> Leveling!

And the main reason Thrakx and me were complaining about it even though we're only 5x is because we KNOW it's going to get worse...

You're about a thousand 'killings' short @_@

[Rodaa]

in my case it was...

killing->killing->killing->get bored so take a break (which lasts for a week)... Etc...


there is in fact no levelling

[doady]

I agree -- I played WoW for 3 years and at least the quests were fun and rewarded experience appropriately. Whoever's behind how much exp we get for the quests in this game should be fired... 125exp? give me a break.

There are a LOT of high quality quests in this game, just the experience as reward needs to be BEEFED up majorly. No one is going to go do errands for a quest giver, wasting precious time, only to get 100exp .. pfft.

grinding to level is part of any MMO, but the one in this game is ridiculous, unless they only want 1% of the game population to reach high level...

[thrakx]

this wasnt sposed to be a serious thread you guys.

It was more like "I think exp is as bad as a ____" <-----Insert funny thing here, thread.

I know exp sucks for you guys. I still think it sucks even though I still can get a very decent .15 some places with my boost going.

Lets try this again.

I think exp sucks almost as much as a turd flavored sandwhich. what do you think?

[Eupsicle]

..........................................D:

I think exp is as bad as a "no comment". :/
Should have explained it on first post until now... @@

[Orangeman21]

The only thing worse than exp. rate is the exp. penalty when you die.:p

The only thing worse than death is a stupid death, like having an idiot with an AoE sized mob of all agros die right in front of you.:cool:

Does High lvl exp suck? You tell me!

yeah .. it sucks

god you guys are NOT being very creative

[CharliePace]

Meh. I think frozen screen/lag deaths are way worst. And yeah, the death penalty sucks. Every time I die I feel the urge to just stop playing this game.

[thrakx]

also a sucky one is the cant move/cast glitch till you double click the mob

[gameranch]

~ I think the exp sucks as a *censored* ...

And if they wouldn't try changing the death penalty, It could be better if they just lessen the aggressiveness of some mobs and higher the exp rate ..

[Minryu]

We've all been complaining about it for quite some time, but nothing has changed. I wonder if it ever will.. I doubt it. :(

[Khrim]

^-^ Probably not, but at least complaining gives us something to do.

Yep lol.

SoS has been mostly grinding and complaining xD

[Shudoe]

The EXP does kind of suck, and I'm not even a high lvl. It took me 8 hrs just to get from 20% to 90% at lvl 43, that's with dieing once. I remember it took me about 20 min to get to lvl 16 and turn neophyte. And another note, it's annoying that you won't know what stats are required for your 2nd class change until you get to that lvl. It'd be nice if you could see them and plan ahead, especially if your a neophyte or acolyte since you have 2 choices.

if going scout/disciple you get a free stat reset, so it is irrelevent what you do with your Neo/acolyte stats, so assign them for the best use now. if going Rogue/Cleric there arnt any requirements, you just continue with the same stats(no stat reset).

Oh, ok...did not know that. :P Thanks.

[Orangeman21]

Ok to get this thread back on topic. High level exp is like falling into a sewer system filled with waste(use your imagination about what the waste is).

[thrakx]

THANKS TO YOU DIPPLE!! and the other 2 people who understood what this thread was about.

Yes we know the exp sucks. NOT THE POINT.

The point was to make a funny statement about it. Even funnier, when i make threads, everyone seems to post on all the ones that were only made by boredom, therefore having no relevence to anything i cared about. LMAO!

[Khrim]

Yep lol.

I know its hard but u got anymore specific info.

Thanks Break *BIG SMILE*

[MarvHartigan]

O_O ...hopefully better than last exp update

Adios!

[StriderHiryu]

High level EXP will get better.

Ah!!! Galinggggg

[Orangeman21]

That is great news even though this isn't what this thread was supposed to be about. So the new exp. will be like a plushdoll or a spikeball?

[Convent]

Woot! =O I'm so tired of .04 on dark red mobs. It takes me 2 hours to get 8%...dying sucks. Dx

*hugs Break* ^^

[Minryu]

Hm. I wonder what they consider "high level".

Woo my 100th post! lol xD

[Maximi11ion]

High level EXP will get better.

CTRL+6 XD

[jmoua9]

Of course the exp is bad (obviously), when i aoe, each mob gives me 01 to nada per mob (yes with a booster too). Also with the new maps, im getting a 01 and sometimes 02 in a 4man party going against blood red mobs. I really hope the "exp will get better" really does get better.

[DiforceX]

better exp ??! no i don't be happy too fast
maybe 0,01 or 0,015 % i think on the last change x_X
now ok i will see it:rolleyes:

[Khrim]

High level EXP will get better.

:D We love you break!

Please make it worth killing for ;p

[itoast26]

woo.. then again.. see you in two months!!:D

[thrakx]

High level EXP will get better.

Could you post ON-topic please? xP

(blowing my mind how much attention this thread has gotten since I started it...AND how little anyone has participated in the comparing of exp to stuff...*** is even going on here!?)

Oh well I guess Ill try again.

I think exp sucks almost as bad as getting teamed up on by 6 bolla snakes at lvl 45, cause you followed some one to rudwork, and then they died leaving you alone.

[thrakx]

CTRL+6 XD

CTRL+2 omg max LMFAO

[Khrim]

Exp sucks as bad as a crappy player who thinks they're too good for you O.o

[Kaiyane]

what i would like is the loss of exp to decrease if your lvl is higher. its not easy to get back

[Khrim]

Agreed, I nearly died because I was sidetracked by somebody attacking the monsters I was reflection AOEing (they were trying to help and stopped when I asked them to but I was at 5 hp when I clicked my +200 health pot @_@). *curls up in a ball* I'm scared of AOEing on that map now.

[FrostyFiz]

Well i cant say much, but I'll say this getting .01 does really suck for most of us..

And like many of us have said dying you probably lose 4 times the xp u actually gained....

[Orangeman21]

This thread is hopelessly off topic. In a futile attempt to get this thread on-topic. Exp. is as bad as how bad this thread has gone off-topic.

Yeah especially new maps.. we get less 0.05 per mob solo in Sherwood Valley.. 0.01 in a big pt.. duo is 0.02.. and the mob can kill me in 3-4 shot with 200+ def.. so the exp is unreasonable for now..

very bad. the new maps doesnt help anything....becoz some mobs in the new maps use magic att.. -_-
my party (8 ppl), everyone died at least twice when we run from edline to the third of new map.

everyone stay in edline . i get 0.01 ea when i solo..-_- if i party , i get 0.002-0.003 ea...

I would understand the exp if the cap was like 99 but it goes way beyond that... so something has to be done with the exp... new maps dont help out too... i hate those range mobs and its a pain to really track in the mini-map less areas... i like soloing in the last map as less mobs and no range... or maybe i just dont feel those big steroid using mobs in skis with funny names... one was Oh Hammer and the other was U Hammer... i was about to think that there was a MC Hammer there too... =O
