remove "rested XP" entirely

I don't know which bs-games spoiled you all like that, but the concept is stupid to anyone who hears it for the first time ^^

You have to realise that the people on forums for games, reddit etc are not always a good example of a 'normal' player. There are a lot of players that work, have families etc and don't have the same amount of time to commit to playing games as they would like. These players represent a large proportion of the player base and are often likely to stay with the game longer as they progress and experience the content at a slower pace.

These players represent a large revenue stream for games developers/publishers. The rested XP system is a little bonus to help this kind of players along a little bit, and help keep them engaged despite limited playtime.

Even if you think its a bad concept, AGS and other MMO devs know their business and they know that looking after these more casual players is beneficial for the long term health of the game (and their wallets).

It's a catch up mechanic, for those less hardcore. The selling of the boosts, with no monthly sub, implies a free to play Derek Smart style future. Where game development is geared towards forcing you to buy said boosts.

News flash: the people with JOBS who WORK during the days are the ones who visit cash shops and spend money on cosmetics. It's pretty important for games to include "catch ups" like rested XP to give them incentive to log in and continue playing.

Basement dwelling neckbeards without jobs who play 18 hours a day do not keep the lights on for games like these.

People keep complaining about XP/booster/etc. but they have no idea or knowledge about game mechanics. so unless you're comparing a level 1 player to a level 25 in a 1v1 duel, there is almost zero effect on giving a person extra XP over another. it's more of catch-up mechanic so players won't fall too far behind in gear and abilities.. these kinds of games are highly dependent more on actual skill than a bar with made up numbers at the bottom of the UI.

Games like Planetside 2 (which was extremely way more competitive) had all sorts of XP boosters granting players significant XP gains over others.. yet it all boiled down to actual skill. I've killed players much higher in level than me and vise versa..

People act as if, a player with 10,000 XP is 50% stronger than a player with 5,000 XP.

No monthly sub? Your darn cash boost better give me an edge. We have all been here before.

They can have different servers with more or less or no rested XP

To please different target audiences, since not all 500 thousand people or so would be in the same server.

So you have servers of 1000 people each, so in one you can have rested xp, in another no, or less, etc

Rested Exp been around since WoW first came out over a decade ago. I think FFXI even had that but that was twenty years ago so my memory is a bit hazy.

UO had power hour. Wow, DAOC, and almost every major MMO has had some sort of rested XP or Bonus XP mechanic built into the game that is accessible to every player.

Been playing various MMORPGs since 1990's.

You must be new to MMORPGs.

why remove it if its good business to sell rested exp boosts?

Just because you are a tryhard who has tons of time for games, doesnt mean that everyone else can spare so many hours as well.

12h offline, bonus of 4% exp.
48h offline, bonus of 40% exp.
72h offline, bonus of 64% exp.
158h offline, bonus of 150% exp.

is that correct?

Who cares if someone is level 60 or not?
When I was playing the alpha I was level 43 and just killed a level 60 player with good gear and his mates level 29 and 22 over and over again, because they killed people the whole day and no one was able to kill them.
15-20 Levels difference wont matter if you have the better aim and dodge skills. If someone is 25 levels higher, then it would be hard asf to kill them even with good aim.

That's the thing of real-time action based combat, is more skill based, gear does count in a way, but not as much. I think people are taking this as other mmos that are gear and level based.

People always compare everything. I mean its a complete different game, which has complete different gameplay mechanics.
No one even know what p2w is nowadays. They decleare everything as p2w, if they are not the best and keep winning.
