Experience in party - devzero - 07-14-2004
Ive read the experience explanation on the arreat summit and I am not 100% sure i understand it. The way i read it the following hold true, please correct me:
Both examples below assumes only 2 people in game, and they are in party
2 people in the same named aread within 2 screens:
Experience = X * (n + 1) / 2 , X = base experience, n = number of players.
Then you modify for party Experience = X * 1.35
Then the player A charater gets experience = ( X / (A + B ) ) * A , A = player A's lvl, B = player B's level.
Player B experience = ( X / (A + B ) ) * B
Example 2, 2 people in the samme named area, but not within 2 screens. Player A kills.
Experience = X * (n + 1) / 2 , X = base experience, n = number of players.
Then you modify for party Experience = X * 1.35
Then the player A charater gets experience = ( X / (A + B ) ) * A , A = player A's lvl, B = player B's level.
Player B experience = 0
Is this correct?
EDIT: thanx munkay, didnt notice the smilies, was obviously in too much a hurry.
EDIT 2: I tested a little with my necro yesterday. It looks like example 2 is not correct. The modifier for party member in area is only effective when he also is within 2 screens.

Not an answer, but to help de-confuse:
" B) " = "B )"

Edit: It'd help if I wasn't stupid.

This part should be X * (1 + .35 * number of other partied players within 2 screens)
or more precisely, X + X * number of other partied players within 2 screens * 89 / 256

Experience to be divided between players = (X * (n + 1) / 2) + ((X * (n + 1) / 2) * Np * 89 / 256 )
Correct?

Yep.

As I understand it:
0.5 points per player in game
1 point per player in party within same named area
0.5 points per player in party but NOT within named area
Add, and multiply.
Will the game count you as a party of one if you aren't in a party? And, if not does /players 2 actually DO anything OTHER than add a slightly insignificant amount of HP's to the monsters?
Note: Yes, still more than slightly drunk! :D

I have no idea what you are talking about, check my post above for the correct XP formula.

xp modifier for players 2 = (2+1)/2 = 1,5. Xp modifier for players 1 = (1+1)/2 = 1
