What do you think about the new bonus system? I dislike it myself, exping is way too slow and I wish Staff'd bring back at least bonus in RvR zones. Already heard players say they think exping is too much work now and that they consider joining other servers. Discuss and don't flame, please!

Afaik the change they made is to bring exp bonus in all the realm instead that just in bg and maybe they decreased it (10 instead of 25?)

Demi , seemingly you got NO clue. When you got an emain kepe it gave you about 15% xp for whole relam , now one keep is only 10%. Also they removed the lvl 41-50 bonus from Emain or now the RvR zones. All in all you lost about 50% xpbonus and now its WAY too slow to lvl anything.
Get up to 40 is ok , but i lost all 'fun' lvling further.. so my merc got stuck at 41. I dont see the point in lvling 4 weeks to get from 41 to 50 --> dislike it new system (or just say the truth : it sucks hard)

if you have keep you can have 10+15+10+15+25% xp bonus if you are 47+ and level in DF...

and you have quite same bonus if your realm has thidranki ( i didn't check)

in the old way you got 15+15+40(+ 10 i think , if you were 41/46 for thid) and you leveled in emain...

the difference of bonus is not really important. but now your realm must have the keeps

Yep, so sucks badly for the other realms. I'd like everyone to at least have the same chance to get to 50, then when they can actually do something to gain bonuses (other than claiming BG CKs, that's still great) they can start losing something if they don't. Would be better if it encouraged 50's to really do some RvR instead of ****** off lowbies like me.

No, there will not be a bonus in RvR zones. As I mentioned in another thread, here is the "why":

Players were (like you now) of the opinion that the only way to gain good experience is only possible in RvR zones. That caused

* empty homelands and RvR areas full of crappy and unnatural levelspots
* frustrated levelers if they were killed (logout, as you can't level that fast anywhere else)
* no real fun for RvR groups, as killing a levelgroup in an "unfair" fight takes around 20 seconds.

This is why we removed the exclusive zonebonus from the battlegrounds and Emain Macha and we won't change it in the near future.

Would you at least consider increasing the exp bonuses? Maybe give exp bonuses for towers as well if that isn't already in effect, something like 5% per tower.

Well Nayru, the problem is, that you threw the baby out with the bath water...

I can understand your idea of getting the main areas more populated, but while doing that you nerfed the XP bonus.

Yes...i can feel it coming...easymode...but think of it: Leveling on uthgard was never easy or nice. But it was more or less ok.

Now you have - again - reduced the leveling speed. Yes, i know, uthgard wants to be a really hard server, where you have to earn your levels due to hard work, but...well...you might be overacting at the moment...

You want more people in RvR? So:

- don't make leveling TOO hard.

- don't remove any attraction for people to level in RvR areas.

- don't continuesly make spots harder and drop chances lower.


At the moment, all "improvements" result in handicaps for the community.

When was the last time, you implemented something that improved the fun with the game for the community?

Yes, fun, thats a thing that should at least be weighted as high as the easymode argument.

To be honest, i don't care for xp-rates or item drops. I have my chars and i have enough drops to equip my twinks, i won't level much in the future.

But...i can remember the argumentation line that was: We do not want to have a disadvantage for the new players (was one the main arguments in th Kez-bracer crisis).

Well, you are continuesly making the game harder for new players while giving them almost no advantage. Think of it...

Just my two cents...

Kronos

Miep^^

There´s no need to level in lvl 50-RvR-Zone and the bonus is high enough,when you do sth for it like panach said

You have the whole classic world and sometimes df to level.

We need active RvR 50er from every realm and not levlers in RvR-Zone
-.-

But on the other hand Kronos is also right that we get few new things implemented, which aren´t bad , but it makes for newcomer harder to play on uthgard and level to 50.

There should be for example a smaller aggrorange in Epiczone again (cause lvl spots and drops are really nice there,but it´s impossible to stay alive XD) /edit ty Nayru ^^

For new big RvR zone i would prefer horses (let them cost around 2,5-5p ... a lot of player will buy them ,when they can go faster than at the current situation) ,because it´ really hard to run solo with only hastener speed through Agramon.^^

Rent

imo we need some xp bonus atleast

you want more people to rvr.. the way is not to make the lvling procces longer.. yes most dont want easy mode.. but getting to 50 shouldnt take so long if you want more people in rvr..

atm i believe many give up getting another 50 once they have their first 50 because they know how long a grind it is..

with more quests it might not be so bad but xping from 44-50 is a pain in the a..

i know it can very fast get easy mode.. but imo having an overall xp bonus (not just rvr zones) would help improve alot.. like having a 10-15% xp bonus so its 1.1 or 1.15 or more for just being on server would be nice

even live realized this and have 1.5 on normal zones and 2.0 in rvr..

i know live is kinda lame to compare with but 1.5 for all would be damn nice.. and then give other bonuses than xp for taking keeps.. maybe rp bonus, coin drops, df acces (which we have, and honestly, DF would be a very liked xp spot even without xp bonus due to seals and the amount of mobs and mob lvls)


just.. PLZ do something to help newcommers.. i still try bringing friends to server but the lvling grind alone hold some people for rolling on uthgard

we dont want easy mode.. but we really dont like hardcore pve server either..

im not trying to make a threat or anything, im just trying to state how the feeling is atm considering xping

We're working on that

maybe could we have at least a lower bonus for owning our self keep? :$
