WAR (Warhammer Online)

I'm tired of not having the ability to turn experience off.  Sometimes I just want to stay in a tier (usually 1, recently 2) and just have fun.  I'm not in a huge rush to max out my character's levels, and I'm finding that I'm gaining experience too fast in massive oRvR combat.  I wouldn't mind leaving a character or two in Tier 1 and 2 to play along with friends and assist lowbies new to the guild.  I realize that Mythic wants us to fill up the upper Tier areas with action, but I've got characters heading that way -- I don't need all of them in Tier 4, only one or two.  I hope that some day Mythic will give us this option. 

A secondary reason for this option would be to catch up my Renown Rank on those few occasions when I PvE and my level gets a bit ahead.  Would be nice to gain Renown without worry of moving out of a tier that I'm enjoying.  

Mythic, you did this for DAoC, where is the love?

My Two Cents,

Renown rank doesn't need to be so close to level.  Not sure if it changes later, but most of the gear you get for renown needs your level to be almost 75% higher.

As to the toggle, with them taking steps to adjust the population, I doubt we would see this anytime soon.  I would prefer to see them put in a mentor system like EQ2 (with better scaling).  But a /xp toggle would be an easier/faster/poorer way for them to accomplish this.

Maybe they don't want too many people to keep the relative maximum highest rank indefinatly in RvR scenarios and RvR regions.

Currently it's impossible to keep reknown and regular rank close together without missing some content. I've decided to pass on most PQ because of this

 Xp toggle is stupid, play the game and get to the end game.

This feature would just result in people sticking to the highest level for the tiers, 11, 21 and 31 and killing any newbies in seconds that come along because they will be able to max out their gear.

Why play the game if u dont want to advance?

get to level 40 and play, trust me lvl 40 will be far more entertaining than level 11... unless your one of those people who enjoy ease mode.

I seem to have this problem myself as well. I want to experience the entire game, but I get chickened if I outlevel my area (and if I need to go into an RvR area).

I wonder if Mythic would have been better served if there was simply Reknown rank levels and not experience levels?

Simply put, you can still gain experience while in PvE, but perhaps at a slower rate than in Open RvR.

Cool, I was hoping to find someone who would pay my $15/month.  Oh wait, you're not going to? Then don't tell me how to enjoy the game. 

I've enjoyed every level so far, and sometimes my friends are left behind due to less playtime or less fortune in playing.  I would like to shut off xp and stick around with them.  Or, as mentioned, help out a lowbie new to the guild.  Or, just stick around and continue enjoying Sea of Claws, or Troll Country, or High Pass, or wherever I happen to be.    Point being, why rush to end game? I see zero point if you're enjoying yourself. 

I've given valid reasons for an xp toggle, you've given your opinion of my character -- apparently I'm an unskilled newb killer with uber equipment (There is so little difference in equipment at lower levels that we know this can't be true).

I'm going to give you a piece of advice:  Don't believe everything you think.  And definitely feel free to not share it.

I'm also for an Xp OFF toggle for all MMOs.

Or even better skill based MMO withtout levels.

he was basically saying that you wanted to be a twink..and that is exactly what it sounds like.

just as a question.. what LEVEL would you want to stop at? 12 13? or 22-23?   ohh thats right prolly 11 or 21 :)

You can STILL help out newbies in guilds as long as it isnt' in RVR.. you can go down into lower Tiers and help them with PQs and help them with Quests without being a chicken so whats your point?

And you pay 15 bucks to a game to play it the way it was designed.. so jut because you pay 15 bucks doens't mean you can exploit the mechanics to play the way YOU want when it wasn't inteded for that.
