No dp from weak mobs???

Post by auqone »

This I saw in patchinfo from todays patch:

. You only get a DP when killed by a mob from which you would have gained experience.

So i tried it out
i dont get any xp from Menacing goaris (too low lvl) so i killed one to be certain

then i let them kill me to check it out

But i did got a DP :(

am i wrong or isnt it working

I was wondering how this could work too....

A lvl 150 fighter would get no xp from a suckling Yubo..... but if the same fighter was only lvl 5 in magic ... they could still get xp for the suckling Yubo.

does it have to kill you after you have used a skill that would mean 'too easy'?

if I take a clooper taxi and don't hit the mob what order will it scan my skills to find out the DP?

Well, then it seems it is not working.
But I think you should get DP if you die anyway, no matter of the mob that kills you...

I think it is very annoying to get killed by a mob that is too weak to give you xp, and yes this happens. *mutters about armies of gingos* :)

I think it is annoying if you get killed by a Awesome Kincher too when harvesting :D
Still the dp is deserved, imo.

I think I heard if you dont use any actions vs the mob in question then it works, not sure tho.

I can see pros and cons to this, if it's supposed to work the way we think....i.e. no DP for a weak mob. (If that's NOT what it means then can someone - i.e. Lawrence - explain what it DOES mean please!)

It's good from the "armies of gingos" point of view, which can be annoying if you get jumped by a group of weak mobs and die.

On the other hand, I can also see it being abused as a means of travel. If it's fixed and weak mobs give no DP, people will be using the old "Yubo Taxi" to get to places. I'm thinking in particular of Thesos now that the TP has been moved and it's harder to get there using tickets. It will be much easier to let a yubo kill you and respawn in Thesos.

I can see it being tagged as an "exploit" by the devs and removed again later. So is there any point in fixing it...?

Make that "Yber Taxi" please. The Yubo's have suffered enough from our actions, let them be.
