SP nerfed. We were lied to.

I also agree with the lack of the seeking party function that is lacking I don't understand how after 8 years of XI they couldnt implement it. I was happy though you can label yourself as seeking party now for recruit feature.

i agree but no one put's them self up for recruitment.

Main issue with exp now isn't that it's not enough mobs. Its that mobs all don't give the same exp for a kill i think all mobs should follow the same formula here's an example of what it i think it should be.

10lvls higher 400sp
9lvls higher 370 sp
8lvls higher 320 sp
7lvls higher 290 sp
6lvls higher 250 sp
5lvls higher 200 sp
4lvls higher 180 sp
3lvls higher 150 sp
2lvls higher 120 sp
1lvl higher 110 sp
same lvl 100 sp

and thats the problem yes it's a convulted system right now, due to the poor coding or whatever the reason is, I think I recall reading a dev post on these forum's about why it is hard to add the /sea all function with the current coding. If people would now as a collective whole learn to and then use it, I think it will be a great system to learn even more people.

Also to the post about the friends, It's due to the new mind set of gamer's in MMO's, to play for ones own l33tness and not as the collective community, sure its been around since forever. I am stating it is highly more promenent now than say 6 years ago when it was needed to rely on the fellow community to do things, now it is all for solo content, which is watering down the use of it being an MMO because people want to play the game as a solo player experience than with other's.

Yoshi-P hasn't QUITE lied.

In the short term, he did concede it would seem like SP had been nerfed. 1.18 is by no means meant to be the miracle patch. It was designed to lay in the foundations for the new system.

It's only step 1 of many. The SP adjustments that would make this game less grindy won't be put in until later patches. So for the foreseeable short term... our sp is going to be crap (unless you're doing crafting leves.... in which case omg love the bonus sp)

We can call him a liar if after patch 1.20 or 1.21 still has horrific grind.

Hit an instance dungeon for great SP. Seek party is in game now, but its not really implemented as easy as the XI system.

i was actually very angry about this yesterday but from what ive seen and have done sp is just spaced all over the place now..

like i did the main story quest for uldah and got 19k sp for finishing it...so you just gotta try different things now

Yeah I'm not looking forward to leveling my Thaumaturge much more after reading all of this. It's 27 or 28.

THE CAKE IS A LIE!

I also didn't find XP to significantly lower on anything but the old leve "exploits" (which we all expected).

(referring to low level conjurer, 48 archer, 28 gladiator experience)

So... they nerfed behest, not only do you get less SP, you can only participate half as often. So, that's more than a 50% cut from behest SP/
They also nerfed the max potential gain from leves, very few people are getting as much or more than before.

Someone explain to me how this is positive in any way other than the removal of fatigue... honestly, that's really all they needed to do. Mob grinding, which is about the only viable way to rank up now, was already viable. All they did was destroy everything else.

Oh man, some people need to take a chill pill.

"Wo is me, my Lev SP has been nerfed" Please relax it's not the end of the world.
