Does it make sense to have mobs die so quickly?

Then you should have used the actual numbers and formulas if you knew them, instead of making up numbers that help you to prove a point.

i stated that the numbers were not actual, that shoulda been enough

i was debunking the fact some people are under the understanding that you get more sp per kill if you have more people in the group

Err, you responded to darkstarpoet, and he didn't say that you "get more sp per kill if you have more people in the group"

no what we have to realize as a group based game(a game where se gives bonuses for grouping) then the mobs should be at least reasonably tough to defeat as a group.

He just mentioned "bonuses". As in, Light Party and Full Party bonus. I'm pretty sure most people realize that they get less SP per mob the more members are in the party.

Even if darkstar wasn't talking about the party buff bonuses, he was probably talking about this result of partying: While SP/mob does decrease in a party, the kill time/mob also decreases as well. That means that in a party you get more SP overall in terms of: SP/time

i.e. you get less SP/mob, but you kill em a lot faster in a party, so the "bonus" you get is a faster rate of SP gain in a party overall.

you would be surprised how many people i talk to in game actualy think you get more sp per mob, not a faster rate....

Yeah, I know there are a lot of dumbasses out there, but we need to try not to immediately call out people on stuff when they never actually said anything factually incorrect in the first place.

We should hold the level of discourse here to a higher standard, otherwise it's no better than the crap you see on the WoW boards.

im not calling anyone out
im just saying, its better to defeat the misconceptions rather then let people think otherwise

i was just stating that people may be misinterpereting it(which a ton of people are) and i stated the facts on how it really works


but back on topic


mobs dont need to scale to party size
partys need to find stuff that scales to THEM. go fight higher monsters if you think its too easy
