And the day of the 50% relic bonus has gone bye-bye.
Let all of us bow our heads and remember the 50% bonus with a moment of silence.
Ok all done. Now back to your originally scheduled programming.

Praise the DMs.
It was hard enough for the lesser factions to muster up a force to attempt a raid and die repeatedly for a 50% bonus they most likely werent going to hold for very long.
I'm sure they'll be a lot more motivated to try and die repeatedly for a 35% bonus they won't hold for very long.
Less defending = more leveling for LA and more time to pk the lesser factions while still having the numbers and dominating.
Coupled with the new non-powerleveling rules affecting less populated factions the most, the DMs just nerfed 6 factions and buffed LA to the hilt.
Praise Lathander!

Re: The gods have spoken.
OO i haven't seen faction guards in an enemy city in a loooong time. Nothing cooler than hollering to Torm for aid, and the High Marshall comes tromping in with a mess of Hands of Light - bet it's even better with epic defenderesDM_Kim wrote:

The fun part is trying to keep em alive! (i don't know RK well enough to use them as an example, Mother, but I'm sure it's just as impressive with dwarves)Whoops, sorry, that did happen in posi plane not too long ago, thanks to the gods who did it - sends a shiver down my spine!

Re: The gods have spoken.
just for your guys info..this redo was something that was a long time coming. the amount was very large and off balancing when it first went it, but took us till now to revamp.
35% is still a good amount of bonus. you still don't need relics to lvl...contrary to popular belief, you still get xp. so to all you that are thinking it....
yes..we nerf things because you are the pwnzorz...

Re: The gods have spoken.
Being in a faction that seldom if ever has a bonus is wasn't a big deal to begin with. To me its all a matter of degrees anyways all the bonus did for me in the past was to offset the ECL of the PC I was playing.

Re: The gods have spoken.
Damn you get a negative bonus now... take my relics pleaseRelic XP bonus adjustment:
-No XP bonus for having no relics or just your faction's own relic.
-10% xp bonus for your own relic + 1 enemy relic.
-15% xp bonus for your own relic + 2 enemy relics.
-20% xp bonus for your own relic + 3 enemy relics.
-25% xp bonus for your own relic + 4 enemy relics.
-30% xp bonus for your own relic + 5 enemy relics.
-35% xp bonus for your own relic + 6 enemy relics.

Re: The gods have spoken.
I have never thought the relic game was worth the time and trouble. That being said what is the reason for making it even less worthwhile? I don't get it.

Re: The gods have spoken.
Well one thing it does help is when 2 people from two different factions party up when one has the bonus and the other doesn't. It lessons the outdistancing pain a little. Other than that, a 35% bonus is still pretty sweet when you are looking at it across the fence rather than in your own yard.

Re: The gods have spoken.
One of the problems with 50% is that it entirely negates ECL 3 (with a little extra xp on top even), while 35% doesn't.
