Test Patch Notes 6/23

[WaringMcMarrin]

*** Fellowship Experience Sharing ***
- Ever had a friend or friends that fell behind the rest of your group because they could not play as much as the rest of you? Now you can invite them to your fellowship and enable experience sharing. This allows your combat experience to be shared with them even if they are offline!
- The new system requires fellowship members to-opt in from the fellowship window using the new toggle XP button. There is also a new column in the list that displays the XP sharing status of all members. The fellowship leader can toggle XP sharing for anyone, or each member can toggle their own.
- If you have fellowship XP sharing enabled, you both share and receive combat experience with other fellowship members that also have it enabled.

*** UI ***
- Fixed some issues with the new default UI layouts that caused some windows (hot buttons, the window selector) to pop up even if you weren't creating a new character.
- Disabled "right click to inspect" by default for new characters.
- Minor marketplace improvements.
- Attached SC button to the EQ button.

*** Changed Files ***

- EQUI_Animations.xml
- EQUI_EQMainWnd.xml
- EQUI_FellowshipWnd.xml
- EQUI_MarketplaceWnd.xml
- EQUI_ObjectPreviewWnd.xml

Q. I have a question on Fellowship Experience Sharing. What if you have two or more characters on the same account who are in the same fellowship. Does this mean that you can level up multiple characters on one account at the same time even though you can only log in one of that at a time?
As long as you are not the leader of the fellowship you can get the leader to invite different alts (can pass leadership to soemone else to get your alts invited and have them pass it back when done)


Answer Yes



Q. Can you give us an idea of what % of the xp is being shared in this way ?


A.

It's exactly as if you were grouped with the person, except without the group bonus. It follows the same restrictions for level, etc. (you have to be within 5 levels, or within 2/3rds the level of the highest level sharer). So basically it is split by level ratio. So if you have 230 levels sharing in the pool, the level 70 player will get 70/230 of the exp. Just like group exp splitting.



Q .Will task experience work?
A. no this is Kill only EXP


Q. Regular experience, or AA experience as well?

A. Both regular and AA exp. It gives whatever type you have setup for yourself (so even if someone with 100% AA shares with someone with 100% regular XP it still works and gives the equivalent).


Q. Definitely be interesting to see if this whole Fellowship leveling will be better than PLing your ALT's.

A. Not really better than power levelling, since you'll be missing the (substantial sometimes) grouping bonus. Though certainly more convenient


Q. . Do buffs that effect XP count when that character is offline? or online, for that matter?

A. The only buffs that affect this are the ones on the character generating the XP. They are not taken into consideration on the receiving player (whether online or offline).




Q What happens when a character hits max XP for a level (do you Ding while offline)?


A. You ding offline (or techinically, the next time you login).


Q. What happens when a character hits the banked AA cap?
A. He'll be capped.


note; timeing issue with splits to loged off toons
The world only distributes XP to fellowship members every 15 minutes.



note : It does not impact in any way the XP gained by people in a group that aren't in that fellowship.

Now I can finally level my alts without having to have them logged in especially with my warrior.
