[quote=Kwals]There are new training areas.[/quote]

Yes, obviously- but the XP ranges of those training areas, for each level, don't even come close to what you used to be able to get before BB.

Look at those simple examples I gave- before level 50s and 60s could train at WRs for 800 a pop. Now they will be forced to pick one of the (many!) new trianing areas for their level (50s and 60s). Level 50-60 monsters, post BB, were giving 200-300 XP each.

That's a HUGE decrease per kill.

So yes, we need less XP to level, we have many more maps to pick from, but the overall rate of % / hour may very well go down.

This is to all the people who think they are gonna actually hit high lvls...

Exp needed to lvl reduced > grinding time the same... Keyword "Grinding"
now tell me if you already complained about grinding what makes you think your gonna make it to a higher lvl now just cause the exp got reduced its clearly obvious you dont like grinding at all so why bother saying omg im gonna be a higher lvl now :O when really all your gonna do is complain about it

The exp curve really only affects people lvl 120+ other wise, its like the same.

[quote=myrdrex]Heh, sorry. But I'm just looking at the numbers here, and nothing is adding up in our favor as far as I can tell. "Our" being defined as anyone that loves to train at challenging monsters- Typhons in your 80s, Newties in your 80s/90, WRs in your 50s/60s, Skelies as soon as you can take a hit, [b]Twisted Jesters[/b], [b]MP3![/b]- all those places that gave godly XP if you hit them as soon as you could hit the monsters!

*sigh* 3200 per kill at level 51 (killing WRs on 4X)... I'll miss you! Yes it took twice as much XP per level, but darn, it didn't matter when we were getting literally 6X as much XP per kill as we will tomorrow![/quote]

[quote=myrdrex]That an although the XP needed to level is cut drastically, the XP we get per monster kill is cut even worse.

Think about when you first discovered MP3 and then Windraiders. We all got here as soon as possible! WRs can levelyou from low 50s to 70 in a flash!

Now, instead of 800XP per kill in your 50s, you'll be getting 200 a kill, since you have to now level at mobs in your 50s.

And for anyone that used 4X (card + family buff), it gets worse- now instead of 3200 per kill in your 50s and 60s, you'll be getting roughly 500-600ish thanks to the 2X nerfing to 1.2.

Anyone that leveled at highers leveled monster than themselves may likely find this much much slower.

We'll see though, 1 more day, but reading the release notes (talking about forcing us to fight monsters our own level), I have this bad sinking feeling...

@SirJ It's much much worse than you described- today you can kill a monster for 4.7k XP in your 120s. Now you'll need to wait until your 150s for that! Look at the monsters you'll be fighting to get to level 70, or 120 as well- they give a tiny fraction of the XP we're used to getting (since we can currently fight monsters 10-20 levels above our level!)[/quote]

Way to burst my bubble >:

[quote=iPokeYewx3]Actually it only subtracts the exp needed to level by a %. In a Ps, the exp is like X 1000 so a snail is like auto level 23 so no, it will not be like a ps sorry - not even close.[/quote]

lol think of a PS with BB
snail=lvl 50 (1000x)

But you still have to remember that the mobs you train on will give much lower experience.

@CooastGhost: LOL No. I'd rage if that happened hahah!

[quote=CooastGhost]We get LESS EXP? wth the big bang line is lower than the BLUE LINE![/quote]

It takes half as much exp to level now

@MyGuitarSolo Link please

Ba bye 80M exp to level

LOL, i finally got to 70 after discovering mp3. ~sees new xp curve~
~passes out~
~I spent all that time at drakes and lorangs and ratz for nothing!11eleven (couldn't resist)~f5

OH.MY.GAWD

I second his opinion. More of a fact if i do say so myself.

Lol. Ikr? Finally going to get to 100 after like 3 months of on/off playing.
