Getting XP - Toggling ON/OFF

Unread post by Theodore01 »

I was quite often thinking, that some of my chars. would really like to stay in low or med. level-range.
(Just not takeing the lv-up, does not help with finding party members in your range. As your pc still accumulates xp and therefore is considered a higher level.)

It would also allow for a regular group play within the same levels, as all could play for themself (without xp, but still gather loot), but advance together as a group . And it would allow to enjoy ones favorite areas forever and still provides some challenge.



Would it be possible to implement something, to switch XP gain on/off ???

Thoughts/ideas ?

I asked about this a while back, to slow down Niamhi's progression, since RP so had her progressing through levels faster than I could arrange training sessions to account for her going from non combatant to combat competent.

I'd dearly love to see a feature like this implemented for the benefit of future characters.

That being said. Commoner levels are a thing.

A toggle would be cool. Or an NPC that would reduce your Toon down to the last Level tier.

Much easier than willfully visiting Myrkul a while bunch of times in a row just to wipe away gained XP! :lol:

Are you sure that the game still considers the toon a higher level... when it actually isn't at those higher levels?

100% in support of this idea. I've made alts before to help a pal through a lower leveling bracket, and then RCRed them to do it once more. XP-locking doesn't benefit the user mechanically in the least, since you can get the same drops from mobs/chests in a dungeon run much quicker by using a higher-level character anyways, if you've the time. All this would benefit is having a character devoted to being a tutor/assistant for a certain tier of adventurers for both RP and mechanical purposes.

I believe it does, when you reach enough exp to the next level, the exp you gain from killing enemies drops even if you don't take the level up.

Want to thank you for this once again.

However, I've noticed that even with the toggle set to off, I'm still gaining XP from roleplay. Is that an intended feature?
