More EXP when in Party?

[GM-Pandora]

We're considering this idea and want your input about it, do you think it's a good idea? Find it unbalancing or a good addition?

The goal obviously is to encourage partying between heroes ^_^

Please read carefully as I don't want any misunderstanding

We would set this at 1% extra exp per party member with you.

For example if you are leveling with 2 friends (so 3 ppl in the party total), you each get an extra 2% exp for each monster killed and that bonus stacks with the bonus that you get if more than one person hits the monster. (So for optimal exp make a big party and have everyone hit the monster at least once.)

The party has to be in share exp setting for the bonus to be added.

Members have to be on the same map to receive the bonus, just like regular party share.

2 players in the party = +1% exp each
5 players in the party = +4% exp each
12 players in the party = +11% exp each

If we implement this, we reserve ourselves a trial period, and we may adjust it or even remove it if we find it has a negative effect on the server.

This is a great idea....the only problem I can think of is that someone might have to be "afk" for awhile so they would benefit from the exp increase without really doing anything. But the idea in general in my opinion is a great one ^_^

[Eldakar]

Sound good.

[Seriyu]

Definatly. Just wish it coulda came around sooner. The everyone hitting one monster bonus was just too much effort, and it wasn't better exp then soloing, unless people did that. Was kinda iffy even if they did, if you add in killing speed, spawn rate, etc

1% isn't a big deal, add it.

[Aaronock]

Sure, go ahead and add the feature, all of us in playtest section can test it somehow, once it gets all set up again anyway XD

I'm for it in other words and willing to test

I think ideas to encourage team play are always a good thing.

The 1% would be very welcome while not giving that much room to exploit. Even with the 'afk people' thing Guillermo pointed out, I think it's still worth a shot.

yes yes yes YES ttrgththgsdsavcdfhy

Just out of curiosity, who would say no to more exp?

Many people objected that our increased rates for the birthday weekend was too much, but it was only like 72 hours I think.. so.. I'd rather let people voice their complaints now than later.
