EZ Server

Toying with idea of another exp clickie.

Mask of Experience with 1% exp bonus per rank that is group buff.

I did a quick test, and the Easy Experience clickie seems to stack with Maggot Ridden Flesh, so I'm guessing all Exp Bonuses all stack with each other.

Haven't decided how many ranks it would be, or how much AA would be required per rank.

Haven't decided on duration/recast time either, maybe 60 minute duration and 60 minute recast time. Would allow players to hand out some exp bonus once an hour in Nexus and stuff. Maybe even sell the buffs for platinum, as a way of income, and players with higher ranked Mask could charge more, etc.

can make the item fit into power source slot maybe ?

Already does.

Just a quick thing about exp bonus stacking. Maggot Ridden Flesh stacks with other forms. Pots and EZ Click don't stack with each other if I'm not mistaken.

Yeah, I only tested Maggot Ridden Flesh with the Easy Exp Click, but haven't tested Easy Exp Click with potions.

Probably has to do with slot numbers, if same slot id then over write with highest.

Will make the Group Exp ranked item that you can farm to be a different slot id from all the others, so it will stack with everything. I can imagine the being the most popular WTS in Nexus buff :)

Did you change either the exp click or the mask in the last week?
Tested it pretty throughly after I bought the exp click (20 solo hours worth of non stop killing in abyss over two days). Did not see any increase.
Might have just been so small I didn't pick it up. Maybe I'll adjust hud to display exp to deci.

Just tested, and they don't stack, only take highest value.

If anyone can find a dupe bug, or exp exploit, or anything like that, I'd give this 1000% exp item out as a reward.

Highly doubt anyone going to send $1k since people can get ROA 1000 with 250% just fine.

Working on 1000 ranks of Mask right now for (Mass) Group Buff that will be nice addition to "Buffing Nexus in 5 minutes..."

Are you going to make the ranks earned like the ring or the earring?

Yes, but don't now how much AA or components per rank yet.

The first few ranks will go fast, then incremently get harder.

I'll use that. Can always change later if need, but that is good start.

I thought it was sexy.
  ::)

All done:

Created 1000 new spells
Created 1000 new items
Created new turn in Quest NPC

First 100 Ranks are 1,000 AA per rank.

Mass Group Buff allowed, 150 range.

Actual duration is 60 minutes (plus duration focus maybe 1hr 25min)

Will be available after reboot.

Cool! new toy to get, on another note though, you said ooc that the potions, reward item and rotten flest were not stacking. Has that been fixed, or is it even fixable? and will all thse buffs stack or are we limited to just the reward item or potion or flesh. Along with the new item as you said it WOULD stack...

I was hoping they would stack, but seems they don't stack, just takes the highest value.

I don't know how to fix either, probably source code won't allow it.

If anyone figures out then let me know.

Possible fix:
Make the reward clicky an ulimited duration song

treat it like an aura but make it last via zoning or not, and give it an unlimited duration. Should make it stackable

I tested it as a song before, and it fades when zoning.

Since you have made the reward item buff be 160hrs now, what about making it a Aug with a worn affect?

I know this was not the intent but, would it allow it to stack? Is a worn exp effect possible?

I know people already have BAGS of clicky buffs, and most i think would/could sacrifice a single aug slot on a piece of gear.

That would just make it so the people who want the xp buff have to be in the zone to receive it and the person using it will have to stick to that zone to farm until they can click again -shrugs-

personally i think an aug slot is far too invaluable right now with how important HR is becoming, id take 1 more clicky in my bags any day over having to give up 50-100HR.

+1 i mean how long have we had to click it every 30 minutes anyways ? ... btw thanks for that love it =)

Would have to test if a Bard Buff Exp Bonus stacks with regular buff, and then decide if we want that, or a buff that sticks with zoning.

I can imagine ooc Buff in Nexus would be popular idea.

There was some confusion in ooc today about exp bonus buff stacking, over writing, and value in /say stats.

Just to clear this up ...

Even if you can get 2 or more buffs to show in the buff window, only the highest value is used. So a 100% potion + 15% Maggot only used the 100% and will not give you 115%.

I'm starting to make all the exp bonus buffs to use the same effect slot number, so the highest exp bonus buff will over write the lower exp buff, so only 1 buff shows up in buff window.

The way the /say stats window currently works to display the total exp bonus value is that it adds up all your exp buffs from your exp buff window on your client. This total exp bonus value is NOT pulled from the server side values like most of the other stats are.

I can do one of two things to fix /say stats exp bonus value:

Make all exp buffs over write each other, then you'll never have more than 1 exp buff up at a time. Then the /say stats window will show proper exp bonus again.

Or edit the code for /say stats window to only see the highest exp bonus buff, instead of adding them together.

Or do both solutions above.

I've already tested, and players have already tested, exp buffs do not stacks, even if you do see both of them in your buff window.

I'm open to ideas and options.

Also players are asking for stats on the Mask of Exp item and/or buff. I've considered adding maybe 1 HR per Rank, and X number of HP/Stats per Rank as well. The problem is things are still hot in forums/ooc and the trolls would QQ hard about this new item being required for progression, that its too much OP, etc. So I decided for now not to add any stats, but depending how things play out, I might add them later.

This Mask of Experience is something that should be win win for everyone. A 1 hour buff with 1 hour recast time, someone can keep buffing players in Nexus every hour to help everyone out. Grind up 100s or 1000s of hours for max rank, sell the 1000% Exp Bonus for Plat in Nexus (or private raid instance after they pay the pp fee), and everyone wins! I know it'll take some time, but I bet someone hardcores this quest, and within a few months it'll be regular buff for everyone in Nexus.

To calculate the exp bonus on the server just do it in a loop from highest bonus to lowest and as soon as you find one, break out of the loop.

Yup! That's one way to do it.
