Motivate people to Merc, double the XP on Strategus battles.

[Panos_]

I for one, loved the fact that you increased the cost of the gear in Strat, but the sad truth is that it did more harm than good.
People won`t apply for battles, because the XP gain is way to low at the moment.
I`ve seen battles ending in 5 minutes, because one of the two teams had problems filling the roster up, and I`m pretty sure a lot of people can back me up on this.

Thats why, I strongly believe that the XP gain should be doubled, its only fair since you increased the prices.


What do you guys think?

[Thorondor]

I agree with this communist. I've been in shitload of battles recently and most of them ended in minutes.people think it's not worth to quit eu1 and join battles. multiply the strat exp and we'll see some different faces in battles

[Panos_]

I agree with this communist.

please.

Just as an FYI: Gear price determines XP gained in strat battles. By increasing gear price, they increase XP earned as well. So, if you get a full on plate v plate army, you will get MORE XP than you did last round.

^ I doubt that the devs increased the XP gain alongside with the gear prices, I maybe wrong though.

A post from a dev would clear things up

but that's just it. The Formula was always based on gear price LAST strat. How do you think you got xp? they didn't base it on armor, or damage....

[Mongolista]

Anders I may be wrong but Im pretty sure the exp gain is calculated 6k exp + the gear burnt in the battle per tick, not its price, because in the City defence where defenders had stupid expensive peasant robe with 8 body armor we got like 100-150k exp for an hour of battle. I even got more from one of the 1.5k vs 1.5k battles where we had strange light armor which lasted less than an hour and DRZ had the same gear as in the city siege. From this I assume the exp formula uses the type of the gear or its armor/dmg value rather than the price of the gear. Simply said doubling the exp would make sense since the higher armor is harder to obtain now.

Once again this is only an assumption based on my personal experience from all the battles I have fought this round so far and the battles fought in the previous round of strat. If you have any specifics or could link your source for the exp formula based on the price of the gear and how to count the exp gain, Id be eternally thankful!

Once again: How do you calculate the worth of the gear burnt? Armor rating? Damage?....No: by price.

It has ALWAYS been by price.
(also, I'm ignoring the x3 base, since that's the base rate and everyone knows it)

[Butan]

Good idea.

With the strategus item price increase, and the fact that the XP wasnt exponentially increased at the same rate; the strategus battles are absolute shit in XP compared to the previous rounds.
For a good few more weeks/months, until the gear is costier and we gain more XP as a result, the incentive to play in strategus battles will be low.


Increase gear value to XP rate !

Based on the xp in the castle fights it doesnt look like they did.  XP still based on crpg prices of the gear not the increased price on strat.  Surprised it hasnt been fixed yet.  If it was fixed then xp needs to be at least tripled.  Strat needs a minimal activity to survive and the 2 months devs havent addressed the xp issue has practically killed off NA strat.

Ticks would be nice too

Or they could just change that to literally anything other than the # of minutes dumped into battle and siege

All we need is tick!

Changes that will be implemented:

.

• Crime: Having too much S&D stored will cause crime, which leads to troops getting killed in the fief
• Item prices will be increased by price^1.35
• PP production rate will be lowered
• movement speed increased by 30%
• the round will end on december 15th, 2014

When it comes to economy these changes are of relevance, and all slow down the eco.

Well, not movement speed increased by 30%.
