Tested the party channel yesterday. I like it a bunch

 

[Kainzo]

• Update to latest Nocheat to try and prevent push-back
• Refunds for destroying chestshops should be properly working again. (we're working on this with the dev)
• Updated Bungee to fix numerous amount of odd issues.
• Reduce cooldown of Warp by 4 hours

 

[Kainzo]

• Increase party bonus exp by 50%
• party-exp-bonus: 1.25

 

[Jack_Reacher]

• Increase party bonus exp by 50%
• party-exp-bonus: 1.25

Good thinking. With mobs being more difficult, people are going to have to party up.

That's the thought process, yep!

• Increase party bonus exp by 50%
• party-exp-bonus: 1.25

1.25? Does this mean I'm getting 25% more XP while being in a party compared to soloing? That can't be right.

 

[malikdanab]

1.25? Does this mean I'm getting 25% more XP while being in a party compared to soloing? That can't be right.

I think it's 125% of the split exp. So the formula would be (100/X) * 1.25
(100/2) * 1.25
50 * 1.25 = 75%

I could be wrong, but that definitely seems to make parties the go to way to level.

That's closer to the truth.

It's a BONUS amount.

So if the mob were to give 10 xp, if you had 10 people in the party, everyone would get 1 - if there was "no bonus".
If its at 75% - then people would get 1.75xp (maybe my math is wrong here).

At 1.25 - it would be 2.25 exp. Obviously, this could be wrong and if we feel its not good enough we'll change it.

Increasing party bonus exp is a good thing.

 

[Xargun]

There has always been bonus experience when in a party. At least on Bastion there was.

Any way you could do this with the "Killed By: ____" on the death chests too?

Ill see what I can do.

It wont show your prefix/suffix - better for chestshops.

[malikdanab]

Was wondering, does the numbers for spades indicate damage increased per lvl? If so, with the base of 35, they will still do 59.7 damage @ 65

 

[malikdanab]

@Wiki Team

• Took the time and added the skill changes.
• Since I don't know if the base hp includes attributes or not, I've left them alone.
• Still need confirmation on what exactly the spade damage changes are.
• Changed the magic resist of constitution to 0.3% in the "Attributes" page.

Awesome thank you Malik!

 

[Dakinara]

seems pretty cool. 6 block spear range is pretty short but i guess thats comparable to forcepull (pending how much int your willing to spend as disciple) and toss. Can always re-adjust small things after seeing how it plays out.
