Group hunting Incentive

[Lone]

After next reboot - if you type @groupexp you will have a menu popup which will ask you how big your group is.

if you have a group of 1 wiz, 1 war and 1 tao you will be able to get x2 exp for 10minutes
if you have a group of 2 wiz, 2 war and 2 tao you will be able to get x3 exp for 10minutes
if you have a group of 3 wiz, 3 war and 3 tao you will be able to get x4 exp for 10minutes


I will work to get some caves sorted which you will need to be in a group to be able to get into.


As mentioned in passing yesterday - the punishment for exploiting this will be the Loss of 100 Levels.

they,ll jsut group noobs m8 and it would be hard to trace that surely

[Lone]

I've just put a Checklevel in it so you can only use it over level 70.

Also i spend most of the day connected to the server and its fairly easy to check out the IP addresses linked to the accounts so it will be reasonably easy to spot them really

[Arnia]

Sorry if ive read this wrong but lets say a wiz and a war and tao used the xp for ten minutes as soon as it ends wud it be able to be restarted??

[Lone]

yeah you would just need to type @groupexp again to get the menu up.

the reason i set it to 10 minutes is so if the group breaks up you dont end up with an exp increase for a massive time period.

Can't someone just be like 'yeah pm me for group' get 3 wizz/3 warr/3 tao then all piss off solo somewhere and not actually group hunt?

Or do they have to be close together?

hmmm there is that..... I'll have to have a bit more of a play with it and try to restrict it to being on the same map. (or maybe only make it work in specific group hunting maps.)

[Lone]

changed it so you can only use it on a specific map at the moment that map isn't in game :P

So its currently in effective, I'll get some maps sorted.


I have a script ready on the LR which spawns 2 mobs everytime you kill one of the mobs in the room - up until the point where you have killed 1024 mobs in total.

currently its based in a copy of WT KR and it was originally designed as a leveling map.

It might work for a group leveling map aswell though. (but i would want to change the map itself as the WT KR is a bit boring.)

Doh! PM'd this idea to Lone an hour ago for Extreme without realising he had already posted this so needless to say say I think it GREAT

All joking apart, a couple of questions:

Can this be used constantly?

If not, how is it reset and enabled for a second use?

Does it apply to group leader only? If so, can the same group just regroup to reset it? Or can a new member of the group take over as leader and reset it?

The exp multiple might need tweaking a bit as there is already a 40% bonus for any group of three players as far as I know which I think is a hard code setting but might be worth checking.

I'll test exp shares for groups of 3, 6 and 9 and advise what the coded bonuses are so that this extra bonus can be reviewed in line with that

From what's been said I believe it's a constant use thing (you reset it over and over again, so you would keep the bonus whilst in the group) and it'd be for the entire group.
