#4095, "Nightwalkers and loss of experience"


  

          

I recently discovered that dying to a nightwalker (scion
callable mobile) results in a loss of experience.
My experience is rather limited, but as far as I know
dying to another player does not in general result in a
loss of experience, e.g. dying to a necromancer's pets.
I fail to see the difference between a cabal called
creature and a class called creature.

Is this by design or due to some technical stuff, say
nightwalkers being a special form of mob or something.

At any rate, I think it would be more fair if the killing
blow of a nightwalker of some scion didn't result in their
foe suffering loss of experience on top of everything else.

that it might be that dying whilst wanted results in a loss of experience?

Not sure, but last I saw Drokk he was wanted. I believe an experience loss thing was put in to stop people having their friends kill them, which sounds like it may have been the case here.

>that it might be that dying whilst wanted results in a loss of experience?

I did not know this. As an aside, it wasn't me who died, but it
still offers a valid explanation. Thank you for the information.
I am sorry to have raised the question without giving all
the relevant facts, but fortunately you could still figure it out.


For the time being I will just assume that nightwalkers do not
in fact incur experience loss.

This is correct. They work exactly like conjurer servitors in this respect, except they are never unbound. (If something occurs that would break the binding, they just leave the plane.)
