Rested EXP Bonus

[Fallenkezef]

like I said for playing the game.

So you should get some special reward for playing the game?

[Wuhh]

its not a special reward. its rested bonus

and yes a reward on toons you don't play very often, to encourage you to revisit them once in a while, to add variety for the player and the fellow players of the game

The rested exp is already good enough

i'm glad you have an opinion and deemed it worthy of letting us all know it

You are conflating reward with entitlement. The real question is: "why should the needs of the few outweigh the needs of the many?"
The very nature of MMOs (and the vast majority of solo RPGs, for that matter) is grind. The whole experience is based around the "slog" of the journey to give players the feeling of accomplishment when you actually DO hit the top level.

If you shorten the time to get to the level cap, you no longer have the carrot of progression - and you alienate the vast majority of your game. Rest XP is fine, and there are MULTIPLE ways to get to 40 in a relatively quick amount of time. A month or less is by most people's definition REASONABLE.

Problem is, the quests reward almost null xp (it's far better to grind mobs over and over xp and time wise), PQs are not fun because no ppl play them most of the time and solo gets boring quickly. Then there's t1 lair that after 16 can't be accessed (and it could be the coolest content until t4).

Also, please don't say I'm on my 15th alt when I just mentioned a few posts ago that I only just began and am on my 29 lvl. This alt I am making is an effort to try something different because of the grind getting seriously boring after doing same thing over and over. I wouldn't mind xp grind if there was PvE stuff to do, but from everything I have seen so far (from the eyes of a new guy) it's really lacking in PvE.

Right then.

If you're grinding mobs, by definition, it should feel grindy. You're not doing anything of consequence. If you find that boring, why are you playing an MMO?

If you do the quests, they will take you from camp to camp, leveling you up appropriately as you go. If you find that boring, why are you playing an MMO?

As per my previous post, if you group up with 2-5 other players in your level range and tackle some of the content that's slightly more challenging, you will be rewarded and level up as well. If you don't want to group up in order to optimally advance through the game, why are you playing an MMO?

We're not exactly aiming to cater to the lowest common denominator like some other mass market MMO's are trying to do. We don't make money off this game, and would honestly rather have players looking for the experience we're offering which is significantly more hardcore than some of the theme-park solo adventure MMO's out there.

There's really no right or wrong way to play an MMO, everyone has their own personal flavor or preference. But to your point, you made it quite clear that you have a specific audience you want to target, which is fine since you all are running this server and really, that is the only answer that is needed to avoid any further threads involving suggestions to increase XP.

I'm not exactly sure why Fallenkezef is trying to pick on fights with other people here though or why this thread is being allowed to continue.

ye close it. was a stupid idea anyhow, idk how I ever thought it might be a good idea...

What does rested XP do? It doubles your XP.

Increased rested XP means longer periods of double XP.

Make 15 R1 characters, drop them off in the capital, come back a month later, and voila, with uncapped rested XP, you would have enough for every R1 character to have double XP. This is not something we're interested in having as an option. Burning off your rested XP when it's currently capped already takes quite a long play session, it's plenty.
