No XP Sharing?

[Mortimer]

I just played a game where I started as a level 2, and my friend started as a level 5. By the end I was level 8 and she was level 7. Turned out I killed 90% of the enemies and got a ton more experience.

Why is XP not split evenly? I was a monk laying down damage traps, she was a mage laying down walls. Without the walls my damage traps would have been worthless.

Please enable shared XP, or add an option for it!

[BloodNGore]

yea,that would be nice

be a smart way to avoid fights during the game too

[Sesame]

Yes, I've been skimming the official forums a bit, and seems like a lot of people are disappointed by some of the features on this game. Most people thought it would be a co-op game, but instead, it makes people more competitive in game since XP is not shared, there is no loot window for items, and the game seems more greed based than team work based. I really hope they change some things up, this will make me not really want to play this with pubbies that just grab all the gear/mana and try to last hit and get all the XP.

[Die_Angel]

I usually do not take what i don't need and stick to grabbing a single chest per wave, unless no one appears to be interested in them.

When you see peoples being selfish pricks, just leave.

[BloodNGore]

there should be item sharing too

accsidently stole a sword some1 was goin after and i felt pretty bad after

like the item doesnt disappear untill all players pick it up,last pick up makes the item disappear

[wing40]

Yeah XP should definitely be shared, especially in a game with different roles like this one.

[SiberianPenguin]

at least make it an option for hosts. can't say I've tried all the classes yet but i notice huntresses being on the bottom of kills in my games, even when they're actively helping. it's easy to boot freeloaders as a host in this game if it comes to it.

[Mortimer]

Item and mana sharing is another issue. You can still drop items and mana to help allies out, so in a cooperative game with good people that will still work out.

But for experience, the only way to share it is to not to work together.. and this is a Cooperative game! Competing for experience is completely against what you should be doing!

[Choster]

definitely should be added. Would not be hard to add in a update either.

[malek1013]

Adding my backing to have XP sharing (or at least an option for it with the default setting to "on")

[.O.]

while the XP you get from kills seem a lot early on, in later levels most of the XP you get will be from completing waves. And those are shared, although you do get bonuses for doing certain things. 2-3 level difference is insignificant.

Although I don't really have anything against an option for XP sharing either.

[Megadoc150]

Is a coop and competitive game....
Srry but it will be annoying if a player only stands behinde doing nothing more than collect items when the others fight... So im really fine with no XP sharing...

[cosmonaut.zero]

+1 to option for XP sharing.

[Megadoc150]

+1 to option for XP sharing.

Guess you one of the players that stand behinde doing nothing more than collect mana and items, when your team is doing the rest then...

You also refuse to upgrade deffenses so you can keep the mana for yourself?

Then there should be counter measures for that, such as votekick voteban and "need & greed" roll system.

I would really like XP Sharing

Yeah the problem is that when im fighting im not really looking behide to see if there is a player like that, im to busy stoping the wave attacks...

[.O.]

hold shift to see what the other players are doing. Plus just because you're not moving much doesn't mean you're not doing anything. I get chillax often since my setup usually doesn't need any management during a wave. Only repairs and upgrades during build time

They need to add XP sharing to encourage co-op play, perhaps give the person who does the most dmg/killing blow 10% more XP than the rest.

Also, they should make it so you cannot pick up items during combat phase. At the end of each combat phase, you should get a window showing all that has dropped and people can select something that they need, and if no one needs, it can all be automatically sold and the mana divided amongst the players. That seems more fair right? No more looting while fighting or someone taking all the gear before you even get a chance to see what it is.

Like your ideas there. +1 to all 3 of them.

I agree with exp share as well, Mainly because I was playing with 2 others yesterday. I was a mage (yay towers), My brother a monk (Yay bubbles of awesomeness) and our friend was a warrior, (walls?). The walls are highly necessary to stop the enemy inside the bubbles but outside the range of hitting my towers, this means the warrior gets very little exp, wheter he physically fights or not.

As a mage my power in the start with the staff was around 10-25 if the enemy was not immune to posion/fire/electricity, my Brother being a monk did 65dmg on a wide area being able to slash multiply times he just out damaged me by 20 times the damage I could do with my normal attack. Right now I'm 15 and he is 20, Every single match is always the same his field kills more than my higher level towers does and I don't get anything for having my shields at the end of that field.

So yeah some kind of share exp if your building is within a field of monks defense and it take damage.

[Zefar]

65 Damage was just my base damage as well. I had 60 poison damage too on that weapon.

Got up to 405 DPS. There is also this where my towers are quite powerful. I have topped every map so far with kills and score when playing with Zukabazuka.

I'm not sure how powerful Squire is but I kinda wanna find out. Apprentice have to be buffed though normally. His attack power is kinda bad.

Even when he gets up his attack towers to high level I still do more kills.

[Bomgar]

+1 For shared exp

[TheStratovarian]

I play a pure tower focus build apprentice, I stay behind the towers, upgrading, repairing, and fixing traps that take damage. I have at 15, only 180 health, mostly due to +hp item, by comparison, tower attack/rof/health is through the roof, and usually one shotting, chevroned foes. I would like to see things for xp shared.

Agreed.
+1 for share exp. This is a co-op game not a "Oh watch me steal the boss last hit" game.
Someone makes the walls while someone makes the towers,why would the one with the towers benefit entirely?

[Smeller]

you realize the devs wont look into this subforum cause they have their own. so quit whining here and do it on their forum

Early on, you might lose some xp from no share, but in the later levels on insane. The vast majority of the xp you receive will be from wave completion or awards. Also, item rolling would have to be implemented smartly since in the later levels on insane, it's possible to completely fill all 30 pages of your inventory with loot.

[Zukabazuka]

I could only get up to 10 pages before being overloaded.

[Metro]

Any kind of 'roll' based system on items just isn't feasible.

not much luck over there either :

This is intended, will not change. Closed.
