Add in a new XP bonus at quest completion

[TitoJ]

Give out a 20% XP bonus if you led the kill count. I could use the extra xp.

LMAO! good one...

Why give Barbs, Fighters, and other melee characters a bonus, and punish the healers that keep them alive, the rogues that disarm the traps, the casters that provide crowd control, and the bards who inspire them. Won't somebody please think of the bards....

here is a better idea, remove the kill count # from the xp report

How about Replace kill count with total HP damage dealt. Maybe to throw a bone to healers, show total amout of HP's Healed.

[ArloOne]

...we give a 20% XP bonus to the person with the least amount of kills. That will make our clerics happier to keep the killing machines going, get a boon from it..and would probably slow the game down quite a bit!

Oh yeah, /NOT SIGNED

While this would be a better indication of how effective somebody is at killing mobs, it still does nothing to indicate how well clerics and other support players actually do.

Personally I don't really understand why they include the kill count on the xp report.
It serves nothing except for giving the epeen lovers something to fap over after a quest is done.

DDO should be about group play. Though there's nothing wrong with looking at the kill count and thinking to yourself, "I rock!"

[dunklezhan]

Ahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahaha... *breathes* ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahaha HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHhahahahahahaHAHAHAH!






no.

[J1NG]

How about "Completionist" bonus? 30% xp boost?

You have obatined all the possible bonuses at the end of the quest. (Non Zerg)

Conquest/Insidious Cunning, Ransack, Ingeious Debilitation, etc.

Forces players to finish every possible thing in a quest if they want the extra xp's... (cuts down on zerg, but rewards with xp bonus too)

Just chucking ideas out there...

OK, replace casters with Ranged weapon using Rangers.

Casters do well in kill counts, but for the majority of quests/raids its melee leading the kill count.

While I agree in sentiment, I find your lack of faith in rogue killing power disturbing. There is almost no reason for a rogue to not only be leading the count, but be doing so by a huge margin.

I don't have a lack of faith regarding rogues. My main is a rogue assassin, and my kill counts vary. Sometimes I'll get lucky and get the killing blow. Other times, I'll go a whole quest with a half dozen kills. Not because I'm not trying, and not because my damage output is low. Its all about who gets lucky and hits the killing blow.

How about instead of kill counts, they list how much damage each character dealt.

Either way it doesn't matter, giving a bonus based on kill count is a terrible idea and this thread should be locked and forgotten.

No, I would actually need the kills for this to work the way I'm thinking.

[Lorien_the_First_One]

Oh good, lets move to a Kill Steal game.

Bad idea...very bad. In fact I can't think of anything redeeming about it.

[sephiroth1084]

I already play that game.

It sounds like you are doing something wrong. I don't mean to sound all uber (I am not) or to pick a fight but as a capped assassin with decent gear you should be leading the kill count in most content. Oh, and leading by a large margin.

As an assassin I will normally lead the kill count in any quest that features mostly fleshies. There is no luck as to who lands the final blow. My character will usually kill multiple mobs on an assassinate and then kill individual mobs in 1 - 3 swings. Others don't get to swing at mobs I have targeted as they die too quickly. I mean give me a quest with tons of trash that can be vorpaled and I am in heaven!!!

Dang, I sound all bad a$$. I am not but I find that when I play my assassins I usually lead the kill counts in most quests and raids. I am talking about a lvl 20 assassin in the vale, amrath and IQ. I am not talking about epics or quests that feature mostly undead or constructs. I might lead in epics but it isn't usually by a super large margin. The tier 3 assassin PrE, radiance rapiers (2x), and improved crit piercing really is all that and a bag of chips!

Oh and to the OP, NOT SIGNED. Bad idea.
