Devs, please address the absurdity that are heroic/epic quest repeat penalties...

See but they're really shooting themselves in the foot if they do something like that, if the quest has been done 6 times people aren't about to buy a 50% xp pot just to run it again, people are going to move on. XP pots are seen as luxury items to be used to get ordinary xp to extraordinary levels, not junk xp to ordinary levels.

I think exp should ONLY be given for completion once per difficulty level.

i.e. Zero exp for completing a quest if youve already done it on that difficulty.

This will reduce the boredom of the repetition grind for exp, and promote diversity of quests run.


This will make the game more fun and increase player interaction.

Of course, to implement properly, a full review of quest exp would be needed to ensure sufficient exp to reach cap and EDs in the game.

This to me is a better way forward and promotes a truer reflection of what gaining "experience" ought to be about.

This would result in a mass exodus from this game unless some serious changes were made to the amount of XP/quest given. What we are suggesting seems much, much simpler.

Hawk - It's far too late for that change {However if DDO had done that from the start {with far more quests being available of course than it had back then} I for one feel it would have been an even better game than it is!

Susie - There's loads of XP in the game now {with Elite Streaks and BB} - Yes the Devs are currently messing things up what with Epic GH and the rush to lvl 28!

BUT I do feel that the insane repetition of certain quests is a bad thing for the game!

Many quests do force repetition to get loot or even flags BUT I'd have no problem with the Devs removing XP from the equation after each first completion of EACH difficulty {Casual, Normal, Hard, Elite, Epics}.
That by the way is still 4 XP completions of Heroic and another 4 XP Completions on Epic!
