EXP debt

[loneless]

was wondering if it would be possable to have the exp debt lowerd for lower level

im level 23 and i calculated it takes 1 yellow worth of normal exp to remove a soul debt wich is a bit to much when your so far out the way hunting to find a healer

I am not sure why "finding a healer" is such an issue. Yeah, the XP debt is harder to remove than it was previously (used to be 3-5 kills to clear it about) but I think it was just more properly balanced and don't see an issue with it currently.

And if losing debt is such an issue you can always go to the debt remover NPC (newport?). Personally, I like the debt system as is. Not overly punishing if you die but not overly easy to overcome as well. It takes a a little more time to clear but doesn't dent your xp time too much unless you die again.

IMO, if anything, the death penalty is too slight. If I had it my way, the XP debt would accumulate indefinitely (i.e., if you die twice, you have twice the debt) or it'd be like Live. However, it's Wiz's show, so when in Rome, do as Wiz does.

Death should suck. It should be an inconvenience and you should have to take time to make up for it. After all, you're DYING. As far as I can tell, the penalty for death is still smaller than the penalty on live. It's really not that bad. Just don't die so much.

I belive the debt is fine. Isnt there someone in newport that you give 50 pp to to remove the debt now?

 

[Zarimus]

The payment to a Healer to "remove a soul debt" scales with your level. It's 50pp for me at 51, but it was 30 pp in the 40's and I've heard that it's 2pp in the 'teens. It seems to be a reasonable amount for what you tend to earn at the level.

 

[limitedthoughts]

So either pay it off with PP or pay it off with exp. Your choice. I see this debt issue, well... Not as a issue.

One yellow at level 23 is also not a lot of mobs.

I just /cmd stats'd my level 9 ShadowKnight.

I've killed over 200 monsters (most of which white or yellow), and I've had 61 total deaths. I have found that the exp debt is not the annoying part. If anything is annoying it's dying, getting death fatigue, and have some idiot run to zone with a chain aggro of 6 yellows that gank you in 5 seconds flat. That's annoying.

But seriously, the only annoyance i've had is aggro under death fatigue.

I am positive that, as a percentage, I die more than you. And I do not find it to be that bad, inconvenient? Yes. Especially when i've just paid it off and die again. But life's a bitty and then you die. And when you die, it should suck.

I've had 61 total deaths.

ouch

 

[kineldar]

not sure if my 62 SK even has that many deaths lol.

 

[Aeillin]

That's 65 total deaths now.

It's a dirty job, but somebody's gotta do it.

well, 65 here, so of course I will have more deaths than you . . .

killed 3333 creatures
243 deaths atm. And I never pay debt off. I always work it.

At least you get FD at 30 :/

Actually, I DO have a suggestion regarding exp debt: Can the "new" zone modifier be modified so that the exp you get while working off debt doesn't count? It's not very fun to spend a lot of time in a zone and go from 25% to 10% without gaining much actual exp.

I started a new necromancer and when I died at lvl 4 or 5 I came back with 110% exp debt.
