Title: Group EXP
Post by: Archon on November 02, 2005, 12:50:51 pm: Now, I haven\'t come across any threads that have to do with THIS topic. If there are, throw me the link please.

Anyways, group looting is cool and all, but shared exp would be nice as well. Even though some people don\'t KILL the monster, they still HELPED, so they should get at least a percent of exp.

As you know, experience is gained through killing, but really, experience is gained through the battle itself (it should be I mean) because that way groups would get experience depending on how many times a person in the group attacks or what not.

(My \"why\" is in there as well :P)

Isn\'t this how it is right now?

Do keep in mind that currently, all the info windows showing your progression points, experience, and health/mana/stamina, have a tendency to not update themselves. Group experience should definitely be enabled, however.

Loot form that mob is shared out by luck of the roll, trying to loot a nice item for yourself sends a notice to the player who -would- have won it in a roll asking them if they will let you have it.

loot is only distributed to those withing a 30 meter radius, as with Experience.

it all works -perfectly-... give that the monsters are not impervious :)
