WHY?!?!?!?!??!??!!?? (Patch 27 woes)

[zukor]

I was wrong in how I approached her post on DP, and I appoligized for it.

Look, the guy was big enough to apologize. We can follow his example and tone down the flames in all directions.

EDIT: If the newbie's DP maxed out at 10 points, and he accumulated 1 point per death ... the DP capped at exactly 10 deaths worth. Obvious as 1+1=2 to me ... am I completely insane? :P

Yes! Now I know how much DP I can earn! I can't wait to reach it!

I hereby proclaim this thread as "The Most Useless Information Ever."

Ok, I am prepared for burns, so here goes (yea I have broad shoulders)

These are the corrections to my ignorant posting of the items I had wrong.
(and again, my appoligize because I was basing everything on my dp before patch 25)

Highest level is my 2h melee at 83.
83 / 10 = 8.3 (notice no rounding here)

8.3 x 296 exp = 2456.8
dp returned 2456

8.3 x 2180 = 18094
dp returned 18094

8.3 x 1481 = 12292.3
dp returned 12294

You get the drift.

Second point I got wrong, before patch 25, I was getting 39546 dp at level 70 2h, after patch 27 and this last server outage, I am now getting 36188 dp (at level 83 2h melee)

Also, I used to be able to get into the millions, now my cap at level 83 x 10 deaths is 361880 dp, which is equal to what is posted of 10 deaths x 36188, so this is fixed on me now and equals what is posted.

Since I am still working off the dp, I can not test the gained level to increase of current dp, so I am still holding off on judgement on that until I can level one of my other skills to see if it changes the dp from 36188 to something more, once I am able to test it, I will post.

If you die while harvesting, as I did once to test, I still only got 36188 dp, which is equal to dieing to any creature, so the concept of it being worse to die while harvesting vs die otherwise doesn't matter, death is death.

My skills are as follows (for those who are following along or want to know for when I post any updates to my skills vs dp value)

Harvest: desert 57, forest 80, jungle 52, lake 60, prime 51
melee: 1h 52, 2h 83, close 53
magic: def 25, off 30
craft: jewel 32, range 41, heavy 57, light 57, medium 51, shield 51, 1h 51, 2h 51, close 52

As stated before, I do appologize for how rude I was in the way I responded to your posting, I should not have answered in the fassion I did, because my information was based on how dp was effecting my character until the most recent patch, wether a bug or not, there was no excuse for how I responded, it was rude and uncalled for.

I do find it odd, that somehow, I got 0 main exp for a creature, but 5 dp from that same kill, so I have no clue what math was used there. To me, 0 x anything is still 0.
