I have a question about experience attenuation and how exactly it works. I always play solo when the game allows it. I recently have started playing Upper Tears. When I started a week ago, I would clear the area and loot everything. I would get about 350,000 experience per run. This varied from about 347,000 to 356,000 per run for most of the week. This week I log on and on my first run I got 257,000. The next run, right after the first I got 195,000. Since then after many hour or longer breaks, my average is around 200,000 per run. My question is this.... Does the activity in scene by groups playing friends or multiplayer affect the amount of experience a solo player (fresh with no experience in the last hour) will get from the scene? If the answer is yes, then I propose that this information (attenuation) should be indicated at scene entry so we do not waste our time when other areas may be more productive.
Um you say Upper Tears are you doing the Scene or just in the room where players work thru the progressive Spawn? Simply you are not attenuating, other player not in your party do not affect it.
No skills set to gain. I track total at the end of each round. I can't think of anything other than a hidden nerf that would cause this. I have not tracked individual experience per mob.
Just in progressive spawn area. If attenuation and skill gain are not factors, then we must have had a sneaky nerf since last week.
I am in private mode. However, guys, I just found a skill set to gain. Gotta test this out before admitting I am pretty stupid.
That would account for what you're describing. Set any skill that can gain (especially innates, etc.) to not gaining.
OK... I am Stupid. Only thing I can figure is that I clicked one of the tracking icons by accident. Set it to gain. Much thanks to you all. I feel a lot better now, last run was 347,000 exp. which is back to normal. I guess an apology is due the devs too, for suspecting them of a stealth nerf. Never thought that an after effect of losing the cursor and wiggling the mouse around till found could result in accidentally activating the tiny skill gain arrow.
If you have skill progress on the right side of your screen, you will accidently click the training arrow while browsing the internet with the game minimized. It still registers clicks
There is a kind of way to set all skills to untrain quickly. Right click on the skill tree icon on the left hand side of the window. There is an option there to set all skills to train, untrain, or not train.
