My XP has been much lower than average the last 2 or 3 days. I have talked to a few people in the last couple days who are saying that their XP hauls are WAY down also. Has the XP generation code been tweaked?

[Tammuz]

as far as i can tell it's still 1%=1x2^level of the target.

[Darth Trader]

Hmmm I dunno. There are MORE level 2's now and my level 2's are scoring LOWER than they were when there were mostly level 1's.

[Tammuz]

it's not really that hard to work out what your xp should be;

1xp for each point of damage dealt to a level 0
2xp for each point for level 1s
4xp for each level 2
8xp for each level 3
and so forth, doubling each time the level goes up

50xp for each avoid

100xp for winning

[Absolute Zero]

The XP is fine. Your drop off is because there are more level twos taking your XP.

[crazyfists]

Maybe the bots are winning more?

Duh! That makes sense. I guess it's another blond day.

[Redimus]

Hehe.

Hahaha.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

That's a good one that.

I always found that my guy's xp seemed to peek early in the level and then again late in the lever, for some reason the xp's never so good in the middle.

Duh! That makes sense. I guess it's another blond day.

Which is why sitting at lower levels makes even less sense. Sure, the enemy gains when you go up, but you got a head start on them at the higher level, so it evens out.

Yes, yes. I realize you want people to level up so you can score massive XP. I get it.

[Jeep?]

Sometimes, random numbers appear to follow trends. You've just hit a slump of bad luck, there's no jiggery pokery been going on.

Underdog factor at the beginning, then the dominating factor at the end.

Being in the middle is simply mediocrity.

But yeah, generating less xp tends to suggest that well ... you ain't doing so well. Guess some people can't handle competition.

I wouldn't go THAT far. I still own you and all the rest of the "Vets" as well. Wait, sorry, I keep forgetting: It's all because none of you WANT to beat me.

I only posed the question becasue several people noticed a difference in the last couple days, specifically. Me and my silly noobish-ness.

So, feel free to catch me, if you think you can. I already know you CAN'T

[Sinister Mentor]

I should ask to have my name changed to "Scourge Supreme" and waaaaghlord can be "Cyclonus Supreme" and then we can be one big old happy family, complete with domestic violence and abuse.

you going up would only benefit me if I ever fought you. I can only think of one encounter we've had, and that was today in the arena. It's simple. It benefits the game.

You know, you REALLY need to work on your arrogance.

But yeah, I WOULD go that far. More and more people are levelling up and taking your xp and this is your response.

"wah wah wah someone's changed the code because I couldn't possibly be performing poorer because i'm better than everyone".

So yeah, suck it up and enjoy some healthy competition. I may not ever catch up to you (then again, Gore was once ranked 500 ...) but someone will eventually do it. So enjoy your little claim to fame while you can, because at the end of the day, rankings don't make you a good player.

You should. However, neither you or waaaaghlord ever whine about people doing better than you: Instead, you strive to do better yourselves, AND accomplish it, I might add. You two weren't ALWAYS #2 and #3. You climbed and fought your way up here with me.

Arrogant? Hardly. I spend FAR less time bragging than you people do whining about "noobs" and their "luck". Healthy competition is great. Listening to the old timer's incessant bitching about the "good old days" is what ruins the "healthy competition".

So, my suggestion is for you all to stop whining about competition and actually compete. So far, with the exception of a few of you, us "noobs" have seen nothing even close to a challenge from most of the vets.

Nice coding fail there.

And in case you've forgotten or are just too ignorant to know the facts. That doesn't exactly apply to me as before the reset I gave up hundreds of millions in xp and went back to level 1.

Still, work on your arrogance and actually show some respect to the people that helped build this game into what you're playing today.

Yea, I made a mistake with the code. Oops!

I'll tell ya what, I'll make you a deal: When you and some of the others stop demanding "respect" and treating others WITH respect, I'll gladly comply.

This thread is a perfect example: I asked a simple question and then you found it nescessary to shred me to pieces over it. Are these the actions of somebody deserving of respect? lol

[Archanubis]

You know what really sucks? Not having the time you once had to play, due to work cutting off access and school taking up time. C'est la vie.

Oh, in case you think I'm whining, I'll whine if I want to. It's comforting.

Would you care to cite a few examples from say, the last month on where us "old timers" are "bitching about the good old days" and how we're not respecting you?

This thread for an example? How about you open your eyes and see the smiley in my first post. I was joking with you dude, but then you just had to go and take it so seriously.

You know, i'm getting sick and tired of having to explain to some people the meaning of a joke. And you think i'm the only one seeing this seriousness infecting this game? I'm NOT!

Some of us are just trying to have a little bit of fun. That's not being disrespectful. But if it is, then perhaps some of you should actually pm the person and say "hey dude, I kinda take offense to what you just said" and actually talk it out like adults.

Maybe then we wouldn't have a bunch of whiney crybabies who can't handle a bit of joking and smack talking thrown their way.

Ok...

Let me tell you somethign very simple.

From what I've seen of your builds, playing habits and game knoladge as you have posted on the boards, if I were a con, and if I could rack up the sheer mass of playing time you can... well, we'd be looking at another top player.

But I cant play as much as you, and i chose to stay in the preds becuase I knew they'd need all the help they could get once again.

Now we all recognise that you have done very well, and we all recognise that you have put a hell of a lot of time into playing this game, but I am gettign absolutly sick of the 'old guard' tuants.

I was top 20 after 3 years of play last time.
I was top 20 after 3 weeks of play this time.

Old guard you say?

I wasn't referring to you. And actually, few around here say anything positive about anybody's accomplishments. It's far easier to criticise than complement.

I think if you were to do a little research, I spend a lot of time encouraging other players and giving "atta boys".

[Jeep?]

I have more free time than the rest of you, so I find it fitting to mock the fact that you lost more xp per character than I'll probably make before I give up. I equate having the most xp with being the best player in the game, despite having no sense of teamwork and community. I also enjoy /b/ style image macros. Yey me.

Change record plzkthx.
