Hello all!
I've played DDO for couple of years now, talked to some of my friends and poked a forum a bit and I still can't find an answer:
Why do we have Banking expcap of 2 levels -1 exp? Can someone give me any reason? Or an exmaple why is it a good idea?
At the moments I am on my long way to uber completionist (have around 80 lives) and I realized each life I struggle with that mechanic! And I even have no idea why it's there!
For example: I am level 7. Time to do some lvl 5 quests on elite. I already know there are quite a few rly fun lvl 5 quests Id like to do and if I do them (ONLY ONCE!) on elite that I am going to cap my exp. What does that mean?
1) I WILL NOT join any lvl 6 quest groups because I will be FORCED to skip lvl 5 quests that I like.
2) Rerunning some fun quests is NOT an option. Without rerunning I always hit exp cap there.
It happens on some other levels, lvl 5's, lvl 7's (thoseare really nice and fun quests I could spent 365 days in pit), lvl 9's. Somewhere after sand/start of GH I have exp problems again (ofcourse I have to postphone the saga exp rewards for lvl 19). Similar case is for epics, it is bit easier to manage there because of the wider exp gap for streak bonuses but still I sometimes run into exp problems there.
So again, please why does this mechanic exist? Is it some leftover from 11 years ago?
Thank you for reading and sorry for bad english!
