-LoseXP and you

Post by triaddraykin » Sun Nov 12, 2017 6:38 pm

So questions on how exactly this works, and under what conditions...

First, for reference:
Kirito wrote:*** -losexp chat command becomes available. ***

No more will you have to play the gods of against each other to correct your levelling mistakes!

This command will allow you to remove any amount of XP. Everything to do with this command is logged so if there are any issues we can see what your XP was and how much you removed and what it became (and also to watch for anyone trying to exploit this somehow... you have been warned!).

E.g. -losexp 15000 will remove 15000xp.

*** Decrease skill points ***
There is now an option in the crafting menu to decrease your skill points. The number of skill points that can be removed from a crafting skill is dependant on the amount of XP you have lost when using the -losexp command at a rate of 2 points per levels worth of XP. The entire level XP must be removed in one go (eg lvl 10 must remove 9000xp, they can't remove two lots of 4500 xp). Similarly to above, everything to do with this option is logged.

WARNING: These points will only be available to be removed until you level up again, at which point you will lose these points.

e.g. Level 10 character with 20 Forge decides to remove 9000xp (using -losexp 9000). He will now be able to remove 2 points from forging, and then add 2 points to something else.

If our Level 10 Character with 20 Forge decides to remove 17000xp (using -losexp 17000 or -losexp 9000, followed by -losexp 8000) he will be able to remove up to 4 points from forging.

If people are found to be exploiting these commands somehow we will not hesitate to unleash the army of fey on you ;)

Have a nice day!
So, scenarios or questions I've come up with that I'm not absolutely sure of the answer to:

1: Removing amounts other than the exact amounts needed to delevel, say -loseXP 19000 as a level 10. Still get the 4 points back?

2: Where does the check for if you get a crafting point come in at? Example: Level 30 character with 465020 experience. -loseXP 30000 Keeps them above level, but they don't lose one. As with the question above, does it have to be an exact level, or more? So, -loseXP 30021 in that case.

3: Besides the penalty of having to re-earn the level, is there a penalty or discouragement for repeating this process to redo several points? Example: Level 30, -loseXP 30000, redo 2 points of smithing from Tailoring, re-earn the 30K, then run the command again and get another 2 points into smithing from cooking this time?

Thanks for this update, also! Finally be able to correct having 24 alchemy. >.>

1. Yes
2. It's the calculated amount for your level, so in your example losing 30k would still get you the 2 points, even though you technically didn't drop a level.
3. Since you need to regain a full level worth of XP every time you want to learn 2 points in another craftskill, that time can be seen ingame as learning the new craft, so repeating that proces is fine and not discouraged. Also you can't bank those points at say level 2 when it's still easy to earn back the level, since they will be gone when you level up. So don't see a way to exploit this.
