More experience when playing alone as in party?
|
Hi PoE Players,
I just noticed that I get a way more experience when playing alone than playing the same level in a party. I was leveling Farmshire Ruins (while beeing lvl 55) and 1 run gave me approx. 70% of one Level. So I thought doing this in a 6man party gives more and I joined a public game. After one run in that public game I just made lvl 56 (so I gained approx. 30% and a bit). Playing alone gives me twice as much xp than in a party. Is this intendet? Anyone else noticed this? Thanks for reading :) IGN: BurnyMcBurn

emmm interesting....
i always solo anyway, i like to stop and check out the drops |

Were you with the party the entire time?
Was anyone much higher level than you? | |

You get slightly less experience per kill when in a party, but in theory - when in a full group, you can do a fell run faster than you could solo.

The group was lvl 54 (me 55) up to 60 and i stayed with them the whole time.
The speed with the group is nearly the same as i play solo. And with respect to the xp, playing solo grants you a faster level up than in a party. So for me it doesn't give any benefit (except the drop rates and the fun) to play in a party. Especially when you want to level. IGN: BurnyMcBurn Last edited by locke86 on Aug 17, 2012, 7:21:40 AM

In groups you sacrifice experience for the chance at more and rarer loot drops.

Try partying with one other person who has a build that complements your own (and vice-versa).
It should go faster. But, yeah, a random party of 5 people won't always be so great. :D | |

Each party member after the first only adds 50% xp. There is also a 30% xp bonus for being in the same area as a party member. Assuming all party members are close in level and stay together, each member will get:
2-man party: 1/2 of 150% (75% + 30% bonus = 105%) 3-man party: 1/3 of 200% (67% + 30% bonus = 97%) 4-man party: 1/4 of 250% (63% + 30% bonus = 93%) 5-man party: 1/5 of 300% (60% + 30% bonus = 90%) 6-man party: 1/6 of 350% (58% + 30% bonus = 88%) A full 6-man party gives xp only 17% lower than a 2-man party, only 12% lower than playing solo. In a full party of decent characters/players, killing speed can easily make up for the lower xp gain. Basically, xp per kill is greatest in a 2-man party, next best being solo. But, xp over time can be much greater when in a good party that sticks together. Closed Beta/Alpha Tester back after a 10-year hiatus. Kiwi pets and Spark spam FTW.
