I think if Conrad feels strongly enough to make a thread about it, the changes must be REALLY good, and we should make more just like them.

And I would like to see Deathwing's hospital code request done, then have someone hosp the daylights out of him for months on end like he does to others, but only when he has the protection of higher ups

This is obviously geared to benefit lower levels. But if highers had to work our butts off to get here, why are the low levels suddenly getting a free ride for exp, as once we got here, this new code gives us no chance to level?

Devil's advocate here:

Maybe because we'd never catch you and they're trying to promote a more (eventual) level battlefield.

I do understand how this could be a kick in the proverbial "balls" to older/stronger players though.

NO you don't understand.

Some of us have put years into this game.

Leveling was leveling. Now, basically, some of us can't. But some people just behind us can, and can quickly. So what was our effort worth? NOTHING! Bc now those close behind us can catch us with no effort, whereas the top few will have to tick hunt like mad to get any experience off of a couple, if not a single, target.

What about a system something like the following:

Damage Dealt | XP (ratio)
------------------------
less than 25% | 1.0
less than 50% | 1.25
less than 75% | 1.5
less than 90% | 2.0
90% or more | 2.5


For example, if you get 300 xp from an attack, you'd get the following:

Damage Dealt | XP (total XP from battle)
------------------------
less than 25% | 300
less than 50% | 375
less than 75% | 450
less than 90% | 600
90% or more | 750

I like the code. I am sure there are players who are near my level and activity also like it.

[thrillhouse]

I like you, chance

I can not empathize... but I do understand. I really do. I sympathize with the fact that the older more dedicated players may feel like this is a huge slap in the face.

It's not a mystery that you, Pun, Ush, and the "top" people are the only ones truly upset about this.

It'll let people like me catch DW sooner though!!!!!

Yes, it is a dream come true for mid levels.

Those of us who have very few targets worth any experience...it is a total nightmare. And makes us wonder why the hell we put so much into the game, if suddenly, we can't level. Yes I now train more than I attack, but now, there's virtually no attacking for me that is worth my exp. So my character is virtually frozen.

Good for you, and all it helps, but those who worked their asses off just got screwed big time!
