Hidden 30% XP nerf to all the quests in every zone??

Recommended Posts

Are you sure you're not looking at Wowhead comments from TBC onward?

 

Lots of the comments loaded into Extended Quest Log are from TBC, when exp from quests was buffed by quite a bit.

Positive. Been searching various vanilla DB's.

Oh wow, 29 replies already!

I am glad there are more people noticing this bug / nerf / "fix", because 30% less XP it's definitely our new reality now. I was hoping somebody from the staff could comment on it.

To guy who said "Doesn't seem like a really big deal..." - well, being one third short of the entire questing experience (in Vanilla, at that) equals to literally grinding mobs for the last 3 levels or so. While it's not much of a "problem", it certainly shouldn't be the case - in my opinion.

Because it never was, before this change took place. I guess we have to adapt to it, but I'd still appreciate to hear if this was intended or not.

Perhaps it's just implemented during the holidays to motivate people to spend time with there kin?

Yeah that definitely makes sense. Let's not tell anyone they're getting .7x experience from quests. It will surely increase the amount of time they spend with their families. Good post +1

 

I've heard there was a dev response in the Elysium discord saying this is intentional, but I don't read it. If anyone saw this or can get it and post a screen cap, that would be nice.

EDIT: The fix for this is now live, no server restart is necessary. Sorry for the missed experience over the last couple of days.

I'm legit confused on how you guys managed to pull this one off, everything else I've somewhat understood but I'm pretty certain you'd never bog down the XP rates unless you were specifically testing for some mumbo jumbo shit for fresh.

 

In which case, pls no.

Will we be compensated for the missed experience caused by this bug? How long has it been going on?

You're funny

I hope so. The server does keep track of all quests a player has completed

"Sorry for the missed XP" 

is this real life right now? I missed out on basically an entire level worth of exp the last couple days.... I did all my 25k AV quests and got 9k a piece for them as well.

If you noticed xp was low, why did you keep going?

hurrr durrr im just gonna sit here with my arms crossed and pout cuz i think the exp is diminished, so i just wont level over the holidays while i have time off work until the devs decide they want to do some thing about it in a week or a month

 

i wonder if trolls even think before they respond to these types of subjects or if they just diarrhea what ever controversial shlt flows out of their mouth onto a forum

What do you want them to do? Rollback the server to the exact moment you started your quests? GIVE you that extra missed xp and then ofc also every other player that did those chains while it was still giving 30% less xp?

You probably wouldn't even have known about this if some nerd who remembers all XP from quests didn't post it so don't act like you have been so done in. Shut up. Take it on the chin and move on. You have probably already lvled past this point by now anyway.

If you knew it was wrong, you could've stopped and waited. Could've grinded mobs instead, PvP, or do dungeons. Use your brain and be more responsible.

Can confirm that something is wrong with experience, on live retail I was always almost lvl 6 by doing only the quests alone in the starting zone, with no aditional grinding. Here, doing same thing only gave lvl 5 and a bit.

Well the fix is now live, you also aren't forced to kill as much to get the quests done with so many in the starting zones atm. I recall needing to grind a little bit to hit six in both human and orc zones.

Huh...so we actually WERE getting less exp?

 

I thought I was just doing someting wrong when I hit a quest slump at level 43 and ran out of equal-level quests to do.

 

When did this bug start happening?

How about a full rested bar to compensate? Seems fair and easy to implement.

no no, were all supposed to just "take it on the chin" or "up the аs s" and just stop playing for a week when bugs like this happen lol

 

rested bar feels fair to me too, but these blow hard kids will cry "this is a free service get over it" till the end of days and claim hardcore

Nah the quest slump is real, those levels get pretty tough especially on alliance side.
