    You need to be wayyyy closer to the mob to get xp than on AK. It's almost comical right now how close you have to be to get xp.

    I think everything should probably give a little more except LB's and greens. Greens are very lucrative xp now depending on your group makeup. Maybe due to the high zem of certain zones?

    After dying I dont remember losing this much xp on AK. 8-15% is more normal i believe.

    Group xp was strange on AK, big bonus at 5 people but not much of if any change for 6 people in group. How does this work now?

    Pretty sure the death loss exp amount is just a bandaid, and will be changed later. Even at lvl 11 when you start losing exp, you lose 20% of a lvl on death, when it should be almost trivial at that level. Hopefully that fix will come soon.

    I think the 6th member was always a bonus for group xp bonus.

    Yeah the current exp loss is insane. At 22 (pre exp change) i lost over one full bubble of yellow.

    IIRC there was a blanket 20% XP bonus on AK, so each additional member of the group added 20%, up to 100% with 5 group members. There was no additional bonus for a 6th member.

    correct but not on AK, the 6th person counted in the division but did not count towards a 6th bonus (bug) which should stay the same


    kinda correct, the 20% blanket xp bonus on AK doesn't mean per group member, its an additional 20% on top of that. So a solo player on AK also got +20% bonus. Think of it like double exp weekend where everyone got +100% exp, but on AK it was always +20% bonus exp
