PSOBB: Is this new, or just something I missed on GC?

[Neith]

Ok, I don't go to mines much, but I'm not sure if this is meant to happen.

I walk into a room with my RAmarl on BB, Canadine ring spawns (with Canane). This is on Very Hard. Equipped my Crush Bullet, and went to work on them. After 4 shots, the front 5 Canadine were dead. 2 shots later, I kill the Canane. All the Canadines go crazy (as expected), and I keep shooting them.

I destroyed all of them without them self-destructing, and noticed they only gave me 11EXP each, whereas normal on VH they give 112. I made sure this wasn't just 112 with the 2 digit hard to see, it was definately 11EXP when they were spinning.

Was this on GC PSO, or is it something new?

[Sharkyland]

I think this is a new thing... Im also getting only 3 experience in normal than the regular even though I tagged them with my pathetic gifoie.

[Skorpius]

XD The rings have lower EXP?

[Neith]

Apparently so, but only once you've killed a couple of Canadines, or killed the Canane. Me and Sharky have both had this happen, I'm wondering if it's a glitch or intentional?

[zimmk2vgc]

I think it only happens when they go crazy. I haven't noticed it myself but I think when they go crazy, they're HP drops or something as I always seem to kill the crazy ones quicker. Maybe just me.

Yeah it happened to me too. I figured it was either a glitch causing it(it happened in vhard to me btw) but now that I think about it, and read about the recobox trick, I think ST decided to axe the canbine ring trick for easy exp.

[Neith]

Yeah, never thought much about the Cana Ring Trick, not that I've ever used it http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif It would seem that's why they've done it though, looking at the Recobox Trick topic too..

n00b... the Canabin trick consists of NOT killing the Canune, therefore the Canabins never go crazy <_<;

[Neith]

Yeah, the whole point of this was to determine whether the reduced EXP was in the previous versions of the game...

As I said, Ive never used the trick. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

This is normal, it has been changed with the last game version (1.20.10).

They have upped Melqueek and Tollaws, and lowered the Canabines that come with Canune to one tenth or so. (Ult give 31 exp in solo I reckon?)

As has been said, it's an anti Exp Hog measure.

Well this sucks. Heh, I use the ring trick to level like crazy on GC (unless it's true that they only give low exp when going crazy)

Seeing as how you cannot do the Canabin trick anymore it doesn't matter anyways.

Also, good eye. In a way, this is kind of nice, more insentive to kill them all together instead of separately.

On DC too http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif
That's precisely why they upped them. 281 now.
