Adventuring Bands- The Bugs

I'm not sure if this can be done but, I remember when /join <channel> was in the game and you could use it for raid/auctioning/etc I was wondering if the chat could be placed in that sort of channel like /join AB(1-100) or something like that. I know it has been taking out of the game a long time ago, but myself and my friends used to use it all the time for our own separate channel. So I was just wondering if it could be used for this purpose.

on live, i'd guess that the #1 reason I was able to stick around so long was the serverwide chat channels. serverwide class channels were amazing at forming communities, and having a <guild>heal, <guild>CC, and <guild>pulling channel made raids run very smoothly, cutting down seriously on spam too.


also, serverwide.gay was prettymuch amazing.
 
I dont' think xp is still working properly. I grinded out about 3 AA's on two of my chars today and logged on one of my other toons in the band to find that he'd only made just over one AA. Am I needlessly throwing my hard earned xp out the window?

In short, I think you are, yes.

3x i've done enough exping to log in an alt and see 700k, 800k, and something like 750k exp. Each time, the alt received an AA + some random small amount.
I have no idea why, but it doens't seem to log the exp correctly once you ping.
 
Also, be careful if you have exp penalized people in your Band. Best I can tell, they will lag behind the rest of the group. For some reason my darkelf gets exp faster than my barbarian also.

Nevertheless, the adv bands rock. I've almost caught my lowbies to my main and will have 3 of my chars and 3 of my brother's chars in the same band. It's nice to be able to pick any two chars to group up. We've never been big on raids and this gives us a possibility of 9 different groups which will all be relatively the same level all the time.

Some races get exp bonuses... others (IE: Lizards) get penalties.
 
That was my point. But I didn't think DEs or Barbs had bonuses or penalties. I divorced my Iksar from the band because he was falling behind.

Okay, I was somewhat wrong. And by somewhat I mean completely. There are 3 chars in my adv band. Two are mine and one is my brothers.

Wiz 1 was level 2
Wiz 2 was level 1
Sham was level 2

I leveled the Shaman to 5. I got on Wiz 2 and he leveled with each kill till he was level 6, then I camped.

My brother got on Wiz 2. He leveled with each kill until he was level 11 and then turned in a quest and dinged to 12, turned in another quest and his exp was 60% through 12.

Naturally, his wizard can't fight worth crap, because he has no skills. We didn't anticipate that being a problem since he should have been half way through 4. I'm going to get back on my wizard and kill a few more things and see if he is actually still leveling.

Since my shaman earned all the exp, I doubt he'll level any more, but he's just about pushed the wizards too high for him to group with them.

The sad part is, we're tring to get these three up so they can join our adv band that's around level 17. Anyhow, I'm hoping this info can shed light on the errors needing to be addressed.
