From the information I have gathered this is great at lower lvls the problem I see running into is there is alot of aa's to get ... and it resets at 30,50,65... 50-65 is a long run there .. i'm just wondering because I have always been way into the aa's that if I work on them as I would normaly i'm going to hit 50 and have great exp for a while but once I hit about 75aa that will be long gone .. and I will have a very hard time trying to get up to 65 to get it reset then run into the same problem again ... My sugguestion is have it reset at 150' aa's or something like that .. to give you more of a chance at getting aa's with out such a penily of going back to lvl's

Let me know what you think ..

I disagree.

It just adds to the fact that later AAs are harder to get than beginning AAs. That isnt a bad thing in my opinion.
 
Correct me if i'm wrong but rushing to 65 would in turn create the problem I was speaking of .. as you would have (0) aa's but get a bonus that would fade as you run out of places to hunt.
 
The area penalty caps, if that's what you're worried about. It's not like you stop gaining xp altogether, you just get less, and it takes you longer to progress the higher you go.

Yes. You're going to have the problem either way you go, so you might as well go the way that gives you the AA bonus to help counteract the loss of the new area bonus. Also, there are many more zones and many more groups available in different zones at 65 than in your 60s, so you have more places to go that will still have a new area bonus.

The reset at 65 (or any other level) doesn't affect exp gained by AAs.

i agree with this..

but what i think blue ment was that the bonus at 65 would be negated by the 0% to negative % new zone benefits. eitherway... you shouldnt have the easy path the whole time.. its either get easy aas earlier or get easier levels. and due to the fact u get a bonus to aa exp at level 65 for the first bit of aas.. its better to just go to 65 and then get your aa's.. maybe get a few before 65 but grinding out 75 isnt to good of an idea imo. i personally got 3 myself(innate run obv).

but yea.. this isnt something that i feel needs changed.
 
I have 550+ AA's, sure the aa'ing slows down abit but it is fine how it sits. Resetting the bonus would take the challenge out of making hella aa's.
 
So Wiz if I understand that right the New Area Exp bonus or penitly will not effect how the aa's are earned exp wise?

No, that is not correct.

Far as I know there isn't a special AA bonus for exp at 65 like people are leading on(and forgive me if I mistake it for leading on if people aren't, it just seems like it's an urban legend that people think there's an exp bonus along with zone resets for AAs at 65 and I just understand it differently, but perhaps I might be wrong), it's just a regular zone mod reset and I think Wiz confirms that above but correct me if I'm wrong on that. AA exp is no different from regular exp. It's almost like releveling from 1 to 65, easy to level to start, gets ever so harder the higher you go. People often say wait til 65 to AA because that's when you use up all the zone mods you can getting to 65 then mods reset and you have all the zones again to AA exp at with fresh zone mods. It just doesn't really matter how you go about it, exp is exp. If it really mattered so much you can hold yourself back from 65 for the sake of not having to earn harder AAs at a later date in say mieC for example. AA there til you get a -25 mod. Good job. Now get to 65. Wait, uh oh, exping to 65 with -zone mods suck. AA exping with -zone mods suck too! So does it really matter? Imo you *need* 200-400 AAs. At lv65 with nearing 300 AAs on three characters of mine, they have few - zone mods. One has three zones with -25 mods because I've exp'd to death there and another has a -25 mod in one zone because of farming. I think you're safe to get to 65 and AA from there. But more power to you if you choose otherwise. Just, if you're aiming to max out your AAs someday, nothing is going to save you from a lot of -zone mods.
 
I think you guys are confused.. or I am :)

AA dont effect New Area bonus as far as I know (got 8 AAs in Meilech B and it never changed my New Area Xp bonus).

Also the bonus xp to AA is true... If I recall correctly its 63 you get a 20% bonus to AA biulding and 65 gains an additional 30% AA bonus.

Wiz can correct me if I am wrong, but this is my understanding of how it works.

not sure if its that high.. but there is a slight bonus to aas at 65. but i believe it only effects to a point.. i believe it goes down at 50. and at 100 returns to normal.. but these are not actual facts. just what i thought i had heard. as far as % goes im lost.
 
At 63, you get a 10% boost to AA exp, at 64 another 10% and at 65 another 10%. So doing AAs at 65 is 30% better than doing AAs prior to 63.

However, I'm fairly confident that this boost does not take into account the change in the level difference. Killing a level 52 mob at level 60 will yield more total exp than killing the same mob at 65. But, it will be easier to kill at 65 and the 30% boost may be enough to counteract the level difference bonus with the net effect of yielding more exp per time spent.

The End point of all of this is you get bonus at 63+ on your AAs, and your first 50 AAs have a bonus as well.

So at 65 your first 50 AAs should really fly by :) Its always intersting to look at the xp you get, I found a few places were I was better off killing the lower level mobs, they droped more PP and I could take down 2 in the same time It took to take down1 of the others. Taking the 2 down netted more xp then the single (even though the single was giving more single xp).
