XP issue?

My 64 iksar necro is getting 20% less xp than my grouped 64 beastlord. Wasn't happening a week ago and never had this problem before. Both have same zone mod and same new zone mod. Necro just got 8 aa while the bl sat out a week, but no other difference I can think of. Those two been leveling together since 61.

2. Beastlord annul magic doesn't seem to work. It never sticks and gives the message before it actually finishes casting? Cancel magic works fine for bl and annul magic on necro works fine on same mobs.
 
Iksars have an exp penalty, but last time I looked it was only 2.5%. Are you sure there was a 20% difference?
 
Necro xp divided by BL xp is always 0.8. Tried a different zone with same result.

The BL nullify magic spell does work, although the message comes when the spell is 80% cast. I took off my casting speed III but it didn't change. Only spell I've ever had do this.

Have you patched? This sounds like it could possibly be a problem with the spell data file.
 
My beast has had that issue for a long time ... I just never cared bc the spell still works..
 
Here's the main chat from each character. They were both lvl 64 with no aa's when the necro left and got 8 aa's. He's been getting 20% less xp ever since? This 20% is the same as the aa bonus for lvl 64? I'll report back when the necro hits lvl 65. Doesn't seem to be a common problem and hopefully will resolve itself at next level.

Have you checked to make sure you are not putting 20% exp into AA's. Not sure if you can or not in SoD since I'm not high enough for them, but I remember in live you could put a % of xp into AA's and that could be problem if it is implemented here.
 
I had something similar to this happen to me, but what happened was I never got any AA until I got to level 65.

I grinded AAs and was consistantly getting 2450 exp per kill then once I hit 100 AA I started getting 1900 per kill. I was under the impression I was supposed to get the same exp after 100 aas, it just taking more per AA to level.
 
That went from bad to worse. The necro is now 65 and is still getting 20% less xp per kill and is also not getting any aa bonus. Net result is the beastlord is getting 2 aa's for each one the necro gets. BL takes about 150,000 per aa and necro about 260,000 plus less xp per kill. The necro was getting an aa per 150,000 xp at one time.

If anyone wants to test this I'd suggest setting the necro aa's back to zero to see if that clears the problem.
 
Is SoD open source? If so I'll be glad to look and try to find the bug if someone will point me to the source code.

It's not open source, and I doubt Wiz would hand it out.

Early AAs come faster. This is not a bug.
 
They both have less than 10 aa's and should be getting them at the same rate, minus the iksar penalty.

The iksar seems to have gotten bugged when he cashed in his first 8 aa's to get recall minion. Ever since he has been tagged for -20% xp and when he turned 65 was still stuck with the -20% tag which seems to be blocking the +30% bonus he should be getting for the first 50 aa's. One note; his first aa xp was from a quest.

I'll take a look.
 
Thanks. It's not a high priority for me and I know you have a lot going on right now. I just wanted to get it reported.
 
I found out that while the toon that is killing is affected by the zone modifier +%, the other banded ones aren't.

For example I have 2 chars, one sitting in town (A) and another hunting (B), banded together.
- (B) kills a gnoll, he gets [base amount of exp/2] + zone modifier %.
- (A), on the other side, will only recieve [base amount of exp/2]

When one of my char kills something worth 6k in a zone with 10% bonus, he gets 3300, and the other char that isn't in the exact same group will recieve 3000.
I see it happen all the time, and in the end it can create some great disparities.
Plus the fact that 300exp disappear in the process, while you have earned it as well.

Both my chars are banded since adv bands went live (around lvl 57), have grouped together 90% of the time, and still one has grown a full AA over the other in the meanwhile. If you don't play often your chars from the band together, I believe the disparities can get really big.
 
New area bonus only affects your own aa experience. Your other character will not get that exp because he is not in that zone. It's always been this way since the code was put it and many of us have grinded out hundreds of aa's with it working this way, several with boxed characters.
