Half the exp?

[Airou]

Me and two buddies, Kiiro and Ruffyreborn head out to Riverne to farm Clustered Tars. Its a 3 man pt and were killing VTs and ITs. Im getting 93 exp and 100 exp respectively, and then Ruffy says "Wow good exp" and then im like "Wtf how much u getting?"

Both Kiiro and Ruffy were receving double the exp, 187 and 200.

I GMed it, said to check my files i told them i did and he said he will tell his supervisor and theres nothing else he can do.

None of us were using Exp ring (Only anniv could give double), All had signet. All on 75 jobs that were capped to 50.


What the fuck?!

 

[JP]

Weird, never heard anything like that. Of course GMs never help lol

 

[Crumpet]

That's odd. Maybe a glitch or something?

At least you know about the return to vanadiel adventurer program now

 

[Bajaratt]

Were Kiiro and Ruffy on limit points while you were on exp? I remember you used to get nerfed exp in level-capped areas, but you got full limit points.

 

[Airou]

Baj, your theory may be right. Ruffy thinks hes on Limit and i know for sure i was on exp mode. But still, its bullshit that shouldnt happen.

 

[motley]

its capped so you dont exploit the capped zones to go to 75, but limit points are fair game.

I knew about this long ago because i would go help with swift belts or w/e and then be pissed that I forgot to switch to limit points (you cant switch once youve been capped.

 

[Airou]

If its "Supposed" to be that way, shouldnt the GM have known that as standard? Surely if this happens ALL the time when u dont switch to limit, im not the only person that has GMed for it am I?

If its meant to be that way the GM shouldve known instead of be all confused about it

Fucking GMs

Not if you don't explain it correctly. They aren't mind-readers. If you told them you earned different "experience" than your pt members, rather than mentioning that they earned limit points, they won't know what's going on.

Since GMs don't answer questions about game mechanics.
And that is because 9 out of the 10 GMs you speak actually is not on SE's payroll.

Think about that.

 

[K. Ishitar]

Well wait wouldn't they be more inclined to give answers if they weren't on payroll rather than if they weren't?

Since the game has nothing to do with them and they aren't technically officially representatives of SE.

 

[Diabllos]

Yeah, whereas you get an EXP cut in level capped zones, you don't get a cut for limit points.

 

[LadyKiKi]

Haha watch them gimp limit points in capped areas next:

Dev # 1: hmmm it's working for EXP but why not limits?
Dev # 3: I thought the mechanic was in place?
Dev # 3859 : Just checked, my over 9000 merits WAR is getting uncapped limit points
Dev # 7849 : Lets fix it.




(Yes yes i'm sure it said somewhere that it is intended but you never know ...)

What I am saying is, the GM you are talking to can be the exact same GM that takes care of the US/EU players of WoW, iRO, UO and a few other subscribed mmorpgs.

They get a sheet with standard procedures and lines, a small training on how to look things up in the log and are set to work.
Most GMs have no idea about how the game mechanics work because they do not work for SE but some external company contracted by SE.

That's some interesting info. "Game Masters" my arse.

Better answer would be that GMs don't know everything about this game ;P

If i remember correctly, when your in a level capped zone you dont get Limit Points even if you were on limit points before entering, you get experience points (Not sure how this works if your capped exp)

So they wouldnt be earning limit points they would be getting experience points, this would explain why Ruffy wasnt sure if he was on exp/limit because he was probably getting exp.

If im wrong about this then my bad.


Edit: Please tell me how i should have asked in order to explain myself correctly, what did i do wrong? I told them my pt was getting double my exp, we all had signet were all normally 75, we werent sure if we were on limit or exp, no one was using a ring (He kept asking me if i was sure of this one).

My point is this shouldnt happen (In my opinion), and if its meant to happen this way, the GM should know this, or am i wrong?

Always gain limit points when your set to limit mode

 

[Airou]

Even in Riverne or other level capped areas?

 

[StanDarsh]

Even in Riverne or other level capped areas?

Yes

 

[Taetian]

Always gain limit points when your set to limit mode

Wait, does that mean I'd get more points if switched to Limit mode instead of just letting it auto-roll over at max exp (on exp mode)?
