Sugg: Exp share/party?

I know it makes for a really nice reward, but with the wording of the reference, I always half thought SRP was shared between all your exploring monsters until I used three of them to fight a god. And I know the monster shouldn't really gain experience when it didn't do anything, but it would make the explore for 15 minutes with one vs. 45 minutes with three more logical.

I'm just thinking of the way a party works in a traditional RPG, that's all. Oh, hot damn. That's an even better idea. Exploring with three monsters and switching between them, or a party where all three get turns somehow...?

Might not be possible due to coding limitations, but yeah.

How is/would SRP be calculated? Is it "oh the monster who killed the mob is too strong, SRP gain halved then divided evenly" or divided evenly, then checked against each monster's stats?

Well you can set the exp share currently to have either 2 or 3 monsters get it. I am now considering what it would be like to take a monster exploring and having them gain SRP regardless. Hmm. Hmm.

Yeah, that was what I meant by I always thought they all got SRP. "Doesn't make sense to gain experience for doing nothing, but it would make the explore for 15 minutes with one vs. 45 minutes with three thing more logical" was in reference to THE reference, where it says/said it's more beneficial to train them all by themselves than train all three little bits.

Would it be 1/3rd each, or would it be full to each? SRP gains would probably get lowered if it was full to each, though.

Naw, it's shared among all three. First you're taxed from your guild, then the "monster is too strong" stuff happens, then you either half or... third them.

Oh, alright. So I wouldn't want to own the crap out of level 100 mobs and be like woo +1000 SRP for my level 5 monsters! But, on the other hand, I could fight level 40 mobs and get full SRP to my level 300 monster...

No you couldn't. That was deemed WAAAAAAAY too powerful by one of the testers when it first came out, because he had genuinely equal monsters (which made for an amazing splice, might I add) and once one would get the 1/4 message, or even 1/2, he'd just switch to the other. So now if they're drastically below level, it won't give the SRP.

Aw. Ah well, I'll have to do it the right way then.

I do plan on keeping my exploring monsters even, although I won't bother too much with my working monsters. I try to keep them even-ish, but I don't keep track of it much. When I splice these two in a week or so, they should both have 100 in everything, so that should be nice.

In your personal opinion, would it be worth it to forgo four points between all of my working skills to fill out altruism before splicing? If you feel like sharing that.

Don't ask me "in your opinion" because it's a waste of text space to type.

So, "would it be worth it to forgo four points between all of my working skills to fill out altruism before splicing?"

Absolutely.

Didn't know if that was supposed to be a secret or something. Some people like to let players figure this stuff out on their own, that's all.
