The EXP Changes and You.

[DevTracker]

This thread is being stickied to help with players who don't seem to understand the changes (and to prevent the multiple threads being created, which lead to having a different set of information when it comes from two different places).So, here's the details:Group EXP Mult changesOur multiplication goes down based on how many members are in a group. This is how it currently works and will continue to work. When you're able to get yourself onto the hatelist (there are a plethora of ways to achieve this), you will earn yourself the amount of exp that you would have recieved in a group of Yourself + however many mercs are in the group.This means: Group of 6 ( 4 players, 2 mercs ). The exp for participation will be that of a 3-person group instead of a 6.If you DON'T get onto the hatelist, not a single thing will change and you will recieve the same awesome experience that you've known for the entire time before this change. Encounter Bonus changesEncounter bonus is a seperate bit of experience that you get after killing all of the members of a linked encounter. This exp is not influenced by the amount of party members in your group. Before, we were giving this to every player in the group regardless of participation. This is the only change that might get you less experience. Encounter bonus will only be rewarded to players who are:-On the hate list-Have mobs conning higher than green-Are not mentoredI've seen the mistake made before, so I'd like to clarify. Encounter bonus is NOT the bonuses multiplied to your raw exp amount. Having veteran bonus, vitality bonus, exp potion bonus, etc will still go into effect. If you have questions or feedback, please keep it in this thread.
