Zone Modifiers (and lack thereof)

Dalayan Beginner
Alot of us, and im sure many others in the world of dalaya, have -10% zone modifiers in basically all zones worth xping in. Im suggesting a reset of modifiers maybe weekly, or whatever periodically back to 0% because going places with -10% modifiers are not only terrible xp, but it makes exping in general a bore. I'm not asking for a reset to +25 or even +10, just something where your not getting a negative effect.
 
Which zones are you talking of, in specific? I dont remember seeing anything of the sort, except like, northern newport.
 
Wiz has addressed this before, I believe it was something like:

"I could easily just change the messages to +50% +35% +25% +15% +0% and noone would complain"

So yeah, its just the way it is, exp gets slower over time in a zone but -10% really isn't the end of the world anyway imo..
 
That reminds me, the 10 charges on my Collar of Flame ran out, you guys need to refill it. :monocle:
 
Was it based on killage in that zone or time spent? Time spent I could see someone running out due to group downtimes, soloing there taking longer etc.

From the archived news:

- EXP time modifiers are now based on how much experience you have acquired in the zone rather than how long you've been there. Due to the change in the number system, everyone should experience being back at +25% everywhere, which is not a bug.

Which zones are you at -10% in? If the list is only three names long, I'd caution you that you're probably just going to get laughed at.

I don't see how you're negative in every zone you exp in with 80 AAs.

I couldn't help but think the same thing right away... lol.

All in all, I can't really say the zone modifiers really even effect where I exp. From my experience, regardless of what modifier I have left, some zones are just far superior for exp.
 
zone xp mods. i have only real seen the real big mod seam to effect xp rate to any great deal like to +30% ones. with a +25% new zone bonus when it reset for you. the only way i can see at this point  that you could have a negitive in all zones is do to a racial one but hay im fairly new  and not inot the AA grind so may be you can hit a negitive zone bonus ever ware. yours hason the warrior :dance:
 
Like the Wiz quote Maimai quoted, the number is just a number. -10% could easily be 0%, either changing exps accordingly or just making the message lie, and you most likely wouldn't complain. Think of -10% as the normal exp you can get for the zone, and the problem will go away. The only reason I could think of -10% serving any purpose (over a message of 0%) would be that the negative makes it seem (keyword there) worse, causing a placebo-esque need to explore for somewhere new.

Yeah, that's why it's a negative.
