Subject: RE: Question about experience penalty (OT)


I think that was part of the point I was trying to make. That it was
difficult to tell if the level 31 drop was really bigger than the level 30
drop since the level 30 bubbles are so much bigger than the level 31 ones.
Since I saw a bigger drop across levels on non-hell levels (or are they
mini-hell levels?) I wondered if it wasn't really a double dipping situation
rather than a loss that was significantly greater one level up.

But then you're trying to compare level 30 bubbles to level 31
bubbles, which is literally apples to oranges. You have to
compare using the same units. In my anecdote and my take on
your anecdote, it was level 30 bubbles.

All you've really shown is that level 30 bubbles are a lot
bigger than level 31 bubbles, which we already know since
level 30 a hell level. :)
