12:30am PDT - Server brought offline to increase exp and money drops. After work is complete, you'll be able to log back in. The downtime isn't expected to last long . I do not know the particulars of what was increased, so don't ask me . See if the rates are more comfortable to play with now.

[Edit]: 12:45am PDT - Server is now up and running with the improved drop rates. Please try them out and post your comments in this thread.

Sorry, currently we are unable to increase drop rates.

The big question though, is.. why are we not sleeping yet?

Darnell0216

Sleep is for the weak!

Jasmine

Considering that we sleep more than 60% of our lifetime; I say.. bring up some coffee in masses..

Like the rates, but i have a problem i can't seem to shake. I had a low lvl character before the increase. Now It's almost lvl 12 and not even done with the production quest. I decided to make a new character, In hopes it wouldn't lvl so quick before i could catch up on quest. For some reason now i can't speak to any npc's or attack monsters with it. I've tried 5 times and all were the same. All my other characters are fine and can speak/attack.

Modem, please report this issue in a new bug thread, including your system configuration and any screenshots you think might be helpful.

Deevah

Well considering the huge amount of higher exp you get in normal regions...

please explain this:


Level mob 78 gives me 5055 Exp :O with this settings atm.



Level 86 mob gives me 2872 exp with this settings atm.




Ok now 2 Questions:

Why does a mob closer to my level give lesser exp.
Why do mobs over level 70 give massive less exp in relation to level 40 mobs for example?

Chalky

Might be a bug or there might be systems in the game to try to encourage players to hunt in certain areas at certain levels.

Deevah

Chulky listen:

Before the exp raise those lvl 86 mobs gave me 250-320 exp.
I am level 87 , hunting the level 80-99 area and you'll take 6 months for one level, 54 Millions for level 87-88 with 250 exp per mob.. make your count.. The whole high level area is a bug itself... no quests, less exp (at the moment huge gold drops) 13k up... but the exp is setted wrong.. now.. can engy make mobs on a certain map give more exp or is it programmed so that you can make every mob in the whole game give more exp?

Hopemed gets (with actual server settings) over 12'000 exp killing a level 43 mob, he is level 45.
I am level 87, need 20x more exp for one level and a mob of level 86 gives me 2880 exp.
No matter how much higher the exp is at the moment, the relation is pretty much wrong

How much were you getting prior to this update?

I've not had the chance to test high level mob hunting on my high level char yet.

Also, what do you mean "actual server settings"?  As in, the new settings now or the settings in a live version of the game?

Deevah

Before higher exp.

Level 87 player kills level 86 mob = 250 exp

Higher exp setting:

Level 87 player kills level 86 mob = 2205 exp
Level 87 player kills level 78 mob = 5000 exp
Level 45 player kills level 43 mob = 18000 exp


With actual server settings i've ment: higher exp, higher golddrops, higher itemdroprate.


With this server settings which we test now.. you get to level 50 in 1 week.
But you'll need hmm lets say another 1- 2 years to reach level 99.

I'm assuming 87 vs 43 doesn't give even higher exp   It would be interesting to know where the optimal exp mob for level 87 is.

This might be an issue with a levelling cap getting into a fight with the higher exp settings.

I guess we await Eng's input on this issue.  Quest testing is the priority atm though I think.

sorry guys...currently settings. higher exp and higher gold drops.

but drop rates are still.
