How's about an experience boost (not necessarily a huge one) for people who are higher ranked ranking helping lower ranked people rank?
Ranking
Ehhh, why help em? wink I know what you mean, but still, that doesn't keep everything totally balanced. Its like you're level 15, they are level 7, killing oozes, they get like 4-500, and you get like 300, that would not be cool. That's making things way too easy, though, I could see how it would be useful in situations where there is NOONE else at all to rank with. But, I would just stick it out, kill little stuff with them until they rank up, then run through at your normal level's respective ranking area...if that makes sense...nice long runon sentance...it could keep going forever, but yeah...I'm at work and bored so...I'll shut up, thats my two cents.
I helped two lowbies I had 8 ranks on today and got well over 700-800 exp killing the mobs I had been getting 300 on killing them by myself. Not an adventurer perk either.
I believe that there is a bonus... like Teurlian said about how much exp he was gaining with such low ranks below him, I have seen the same. So in my experience, there is a bonus.
There is.
sidekick / apprentice
out of curiosity, for those of you who have played everquest, EQ2, and city of heroes, are you thinking of something similar to the mentor-sidekick/apprentice system?
like if the lowbie is in the same room or within 2 or 3 rooms of the mentor, he is raised up to one rank lower than the mentor, but still gains exp as a lowbie, and only power-wise rank gain, not gaining any new skills, or something of that type?
i think that'd be a great idea, or, just for fun, something that temporarily lowers the high players rank so he can group with low lv friends and hang out.
more run on sentences....
but yeah, i really like that idea
