2-3 xp each for dire wolves and panthers

level 40 solo:
3 xp for dwarven merc
5-10 for minotaurs

Level 40 + Level 33 partied:
level 40 got ZERO xp for dwarven and halfling mercs and minos
level 33 got 2 each for mercs and 4-5 for minos

level 40 with level 33 in area, unpartied:
level 40 got 2-6 for minos

level 33 with level 40 in area, unpartied:
level 33 got 5-7 for minos

So, xp was better for the level 40 if he was solo.

level 33 and level 7 partied:
level 33 got 3-5 from dwarf merc and 8-12 from minos
level 7 got nothing from mercs or minos

level 7 with level 33 in area, unpartied:
level 7 got 12 from dwarf merc

So high level in party killed xp for low level.

There was a minor problem with the getnextfactionmember code, so it was only giving xp to the party leader. Issue should be fixed.

Didn't have anybody to party with, but my twinky level 40 weapon master got 820 XP in less than an hour just running around and hitting some middle-of-the-road areas that my level 25 weapon master could mostly handle solo.

2 lvl 40's..

commoners.. 2xp (leader only)

I have heard that we are not getting much participation in this testing.
This testing is not mandatory, and in fact adds a lot of effort for the QA team.
We started this open testing to allow players to give us feedback on a major revision to a core system, before it was live and nothing more than some minor tweaks were going to be applied.

The bottom line is: If you don't vote, don't bitch.

I don't know if the leader xp only thing has been fixed yet. Last time I tested it, I was solo, and getting nominal xp. Haven't managed to hit the cap yet, but the calculations were correct.

Didn't get a chance to party up, and I got booted because I tried to enter the UD cave. Logged back in after the black screen and it told me I have to wait 58 minutes..Anyway, on with the numbers.

Played with a lvl 18 barb/fighter/rogue.

Blandenberg Residents 3-4 pts
Ogre 4 (every time)
Ogre mage 6 pts
Ogre Berserker 4-6 pts

Mercs Dwarven 7-8
Mercs Halfling 4-5

Bugbears 3 pts.( every time)
Shamans 2-3
Heros 5 ( every time)

Bandits
archers 3-4 pts
mages 2 ( every time, but I only fought a few of these)

Hope that helps some. Weird that some things gave me the same number every time, and other it varied a bit.I gues sthe "fixed " ones for me were the minimum since they were fairly low CR to my level?

Wish I'd thought to try partying up before I got booted, or logging in with a lowbie and partying up.
Maybe we should try that, getting several low lvls(_ 4-6 maybe) in a party and see what the results are.

At L28, I was getting 7-17 for minotaurs. I didn't get to kill that many, since I was with an uber WM and a PM, though.

Nob · Post by **Nob** » Mon Sep 24, 2007 6:06 pm

Sorry about the broken party thing.

This last update should fix it all, so please test again.

Of particular interest I think will be to see how much xp parties gain at individual dungeons, and how much playing time those take.

That should, I think give a decent idea of the general pace of the gain rate, since we already know what the math behind the code will behave against any given creature.

Nob · Post by **Nob** » Mon Sep 24, 2007 6:13 pm

Side note:
General template for feedback might look something like this:

Dungeon - Dungeon Name
Time Spent - x Hours y Minutes (approx. okay)
Party Members
- Ima Pagamar, 12 ftr/2 rog/7 wm (Human) - 736xp
- Greta Chesling, 6 rog/12 cleric (Changeling) - 952 xp
- Mia Laymar, 14 wiz/1 SD/1 asn (Tiefling) - 1024xp

Katroine · Post by **Katroine** » Wed Sep 26, 2007 4:04 am

No one on to party with so solo, aside from some summons.

Dungeon - Steelhorn's Lair
Time Spent - 25-30 minutes with two rests
Party Members

Is there anyway to turn off the spell casting restrictions (mark) on the test server. My only other PC worth testing is a local vault character and can't cast above 7th level.

Second.

Bachwood caves
Olvo's Lair
Nelethrope mines
Plus a few bandit spawns

Took about 2 hours with the default lv15 barbarian, Solo

about 1250 xp

Was getting from 6-12 xp for most things.

Still got xp from killing the merchant in the dancing kelpie, which I believe shouldn't happen.
