Yeah, Im pretty sure that most people know that the EXP count in Episode 2 on BB has increased.

My question is, do you think it's too much EXP now?

I mean, take VR Temple in Ultimate. On GC offline, an Ob Lily gave 300EXP. Now they give 390. Assassins now give 403. RAPPIES give 351.

Now, for an area like Ult Tower, we'll all probably need the extra EXP to cut our losses when we die, but for an area like Temple, where death can be avoided a bit easier, I reckon they've upped the EXP a bit too much. Maybe 320 for a Lily, but 390 is a bit much...

I know this might be due to the EXP penalty if you die, but seriously, I think 390 EXP for a monster that only takes a combo to kill is a bit cheap. I didn't really notice this until now, but I'm hunting a Standstill Shield with my Viridia.

What are other people's views on the new EXP counts? Ive shared my opinion, I'm just curious as to what other people think?

To me, it seems about right. Remember that VR Temple and Spaceship was complied full of monsters that works so well with each other, it's kinda scary. It's annoying on the exp loss. Besides, a lot of Ep2 new monsters are tough contenders. It's only natural to give them more exp. PLUS, the fact of losing exp could be another cause for upping the exp.

Reap what you sow.

I find Spaceship annoying in Ultimate, but Temple's never gave me any trouble. Yes, occassionally a stray Megid will get me, but the enemies there are incredibly easy to kill...

I reckon that the EXP is a bit high, but it's good to see other people's views.

Sounds goot to me, nothing to reproach.

Ob Lily = 429, Mil Lily = 1531 http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

It makes Ep2 worth playing for experience.

Not to forget Barba Ray = 23400.

My figures are for multi mode.

Kef, I included these in my monster stat file already, not counting the Tower enemies.
I think the EXP is about right. I mean, we do need a reason to play EP2.

You're forgetting, Uriko, that the EXP on GC in EP2 was a bit low for the Episode's difficulty. Not only was the EXP increased, but it seems as though that the enemies have been slightly bulked up a little, as well.

Well since I haven't played ultimate mode since PSOGC that seems ok for EXP especially since you lose EXP for dying.

Ob Lily megid seems to be a bit further range to me, and the enemies are more difficult. I just thought 351exp for a Rappy was stupid http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

For CCA/Tower/Seabed, I could understand, but it's not like temple's hard, unless it's a special quest.

I guess it is to lure us into Ep2 more http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

I still level up faster doing Forest runs. But Temple is close now, which is good http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif
