Thanks Crazy, you pretty much hit it. I dont know the ins and outs because I am not an avid player, I will be the first to admit that. The person I enlisted under no longer plays. I guess the way the game is coded is fine for everyone and they feel it is fine or have grown accustomed to. I am a minority, no worries. DST, do you sincerely think that I am whining? Why even use the tone that you used? Trying to upset me or can you not find the right words to say w/out being an ass? I am almost retired from the military, I can promise you that I have probably done, seen, visited more things around the world then you could ever dream of. I can take a lot and dish it to but why go about things in the negative aspect when someone is asking questions? There is never ever a wrong reason to ask questions when you do not know the answer to. Maybe you are young and have not discovered that yet.

I am not MP4, I am MP5. My account is Days:257. If you want negative exp then fine, you create a ritual for that. I just want to win lol. When I do win I get exp....actually no, even when I win I still lose. That does not make any credible sense. [quote name='Burns' post='34554' date='Jun 24 2009, 04:49 PM']you want a debate? i haven't had a fight in over 3 weeks, so let's start 1. as Awi already said, neg xp are necessary codework to keep the game rolling [color="#FFA500"]This does not apply to what I wrote.[/color] 2. it's a way to do evil things to your opponents, and it's the only way EVERYBODY can go [color="#FFA500"]I have no idea what you are saying here.[/color] 3. you can regather those xp sooo easily that it almost hurts me when i hear mp5 talking about neg xp [color="#FFA500"]How can you gather it that easily? Pls explain.[/color] 4. for non-mp5s, you are still in test levels, like it or leave it [color="#FFA500"]I'm not < MP5. I guess this one does not apply to me.[/color] 5. learn to handle the threath, there are ways and means, starting with noting down who uses such rits, ending with rits that won't get harmed by such rits [color="#FFA500"]Handle the what? I understand about the rituals in what you are saying but I can go up against said person 6 tree's, win and get exp but I can go up against someones 6 tree's and pay the price for 2 days.[/color] 6. you think you could gather xp by killing weak opponents? well, here's the way how they strike back while they are still too weak to destroy your rit... it's how this game works, anybody can successfully beat everybody, even if that includes letting all your critters die :lol: [color="#FFA500"]I am considered one of the weak guys lol. Honestly, I can barely beat anyone.[/color] i hope those were not too many reasons at once... i want a fight after all, knock out in first 30 seconds would be a bit lame :/ [color="#FFA500"]Honestly, I did not really see one decent reason you gave.[/color][/quote]

I see what people are saying but I dont live on the game. If I get an incredible amount of negative exp, I am done for at least 2 days. All I am saying is, if I beat someones ritual, I should not get negative exp. What everyone is describing is for folks who are looking for a way to lose exp on purpose. My argument is the quite the opposite. If i am beating a ritual, I am obviously not looking for negative exp, I want positive exp and I should be awarded such. How much you heal should matter not if you are dead in the end.

My biggest issue with the game is receiving negative exp. I can understand if you cannot beat a ritual then fine but if I annihilate the opponent meaning they have zero health and the fight is over, no penalty should be inclined. Am I alone on this? I believe this to be a good debate if someone opposes this (good for me!) Seriously though, why is it coded this way? I dont have much time to play but I don't feel like playing after this happens tbh. I have brought many people to play this game but they have all quit except for I think 2 and they are about to go as well. Please educate me, thanks.

I do in fact totally agree with you but when it comes to me actually going to win, it should let me and not make me retreat. It should make them retreat with me reaping all of the exp not the person who was going to lose.

So if I retreat, the other person gets a lot more exp than myself. I still don't understand why? Honestly wins and losses dont really mean much in this game when you break it down.

Is there anyway to take this out of game or change it? Many times I have seen myself winning then I retreated thus losing the fight. Today it came down to myself having one creature left and the other had a Grasan. I would of won but the game decided I had to retreat??? That makes no sense. Can someone maybe break it down more for me? Maybe I am missing a key element. Thanks.

When I came to MP4 I was 112/110. Now I am Won: 129 | Lost: 283 I am at Max Honor but what does that really do for me? So far from what I have noticed, it does pretty much nothing for you, that most people would be bothered to worry about. To get max honor, all you have to do is sit outside of a sanctuary for a few days and get farmed. People like myself who play at work with low bandwidth are getting farmed lol. There is a huge disparity throughout MP4. I think the levels, sorry Mind Powers, need to be broken up more. Is MP5 the same way? This game can be fun but it is very limiting and will discourage new players.

Thanks Glaistig for the explanation!

Wow Snake, that is a lot of Adepts! Hey I was wondering, what all do you get with acquiring adpets? I have a ground shaking (2) and am not sure if I noticed any change to my profile except the number.

One of the first things that I quickly noticed (and hated) was having to remake the rituals. I really dont understand why the game is designed this way. You should be able to setup rituals and keep them no matter if you win or lose. If you do lose then fine, bring the win/loss ratio back to zero. I play mostly when I am out to sea (Navy) and my bandwidth is horribly slow. I get cracked everytime I step out, it is very hard to get any wins. I am very tired having to make rituals and then guess what? Crack again...... This is not easy mode this is called making it more enjoyable for everyone.
