#19791, "Almost been there, done that.."
|
Last 2 chars I did were mostly like that. I think I had groups for a grand total of 5 levels in each char. And these were characters with fairly significant XP costs.
To get back to the earlier question, I wonder if re-instating (or re-upping) the time penalty/benefit would help? I seem to recall that there was at one time a significant XP penalty based on the speed with which you were leveling (i.e. a level 30 at 20 hours would earn significantly less XP for a mob than a level 30 at 60 hours). That might encourage folks to effectively slow down and engage in other activities rather than spam level.
This might encourage more participation in cabals at lower levels because you couldn't as easily speed rank to hero to get involved. It also might encourage fewer early rage-deletions because you'd have more invested in the character in terms of time and cabal commitment.
I've often thought that cabal outers and other cabal mobs (special guards, centurions in particular because they are not used just in pk) should be reassessed depending on the PC striking them. What I mean is that Hero level centurions or special guards should not mean instant death for lowbies trying to fight the system while still being a challenge for the heroes fighting them. I'm guessing this would be pretty complicated to code but I've always thought the idea would be cool. Then lowbies would have more incentive to raid to recover items and cabals would have incentive to have lowbies to defend such raids.
But maybe that's just me.
