XP loss

Post by Lorkar »

Does XP loss now apply when PvP'ing with LA toons? First XP loss when raiding now this?
What gives?

I love how everything is a conspiracy on NS4 to benefit LA.

Heh, it's always about the numbers. Once it was Garagoth and another time Sleeth, and they seemed to have the favour of the gods, even though their downfall was orchestrated by their vainglory and megalomania. Even Menzoduran. Although then it was just sleaziness ;).

SL died after that last wipe...sad sad day when so many ppl quit playing.


my money is still on that-you killed someone then they killed you, so they may not be a valid target-type thing

Things may not be perfect, true. But, if stuff like this keeps happening it will spell the end of PvP.
I was joking about it being a conspiracy, but it does seem like they are the only ones I PvP with these days.

Well this bug has been around since the beginning... let me know if you can reliably reproduce it.

How is xp loss handled with regards to levels and level differences?

I have heard that you gain xp from killing a level 40 toon, but I haven't had a whole lot of experience in that field... Is there an xp reward if the level difference is great enough? For example, if a lvl 20 killed a lvl 32, the lvl 20 toon gets [some form of] xp and the lvl 32 pays respawn penalty?

When defending your own relic, attacks who are killed loose gold in proportion to the difference in level between them and their killer.

The defender recieves experience & gold in that same or a similar proportion.

Attackers should never loose xp. If they have no gold left to pay, they will loose a randomly equipped item, however.

I am not sure it is something I want to reproduce honestly. Thats a big hit to take in the epic levels with out any recompensation. This seems to have occurred shortly after the relic bonus was changed.

As far as I can tell this is the bug that occurs from time to time during PvP... not sure yet what's causing it. It's been around for years. You think its increased in frequency recently?

This has happened to various pc's of mine over the years, on the odd occasion all over the server. In faction held zones, FD, Planar zones. No one has figured out why this happens, just that it does happen. No one has been able to reproduce it on cue. It's a bug that pops it's ugly head into game from time to time.

We might not accept it, we keep trying to figure it out, non of us like it, but we have learned to live with it. Let's hope 1.69 puts a damper on that bug.
