The ritual XP nerf is nowhere near the 20% stated in the update post. At the same level, the following changes happened.

Defile was 22,010xp, now 16,662 which is -24.3%Corrupt Glyph was 13,998 now 9,997 (-28.58%)Soul Storm was 18,666 now 13,329 (-28.59%)

I didn't get the rest, but the picture is pretty clear

Even doubling the ritual base xp makes rituals at the same level 650k per hour less than before. (2.1m vs 1.45m)

Don't say a 20% reduction and then make it far more than that, just say what the actual change will be.

(Edited to reflect full hour xp rate change, original said 1.6 but I'd been lucky with 2 tomes. Since then it's been in and around 1.5m)

Glad it's not just me getting those sums, so 20% was just a number picked from nowhere it seems

That was the figure I got from the Necromancy team, so that's what I wrote in - I'll go back to them and take a look into this now.

"Don't shoot the messenger" is not a very good answer when the implication is that until the players double check things first we shouldn't trust any numbers given to us.

Same thing happened with golden bamboo months ago. It's no longer a one off occurrence.

Not absolving myself of this, but just confirming with the team and making sure that the maths is correct so bear with me.

And WHAT THE HECK has been done to defile? Progress bar disappearing before any purple fart appears, disappearing after clicking when progress updates?

A few others on world 56 complaining of the same mechanic now.

Strange, I'll have to see if I can log a bug report for that - do you have a screenshot of this that I can forward?

How about the Necromancy team comes out and apologizes for having to nerf the XP a month later. While watching players race to 200m and sitting on their hands.

Out of curiosity: When should changes happen, then? If it's during the race, it punishes racers, if it's a year after release, it's too late and people got "early bird discounts". When, then?

And he'll do it again, if you're not careful! 😳

I think it needs to happen within days, or when the xp embargo lifts. I think saying "we see this is not what we were expecting and are changing it" in the first week of something happening is good, or "we don't like this and it will be changed at the xp lift because with bxp it will be nuts" is also fine

Thanks for this, I appreciate the constructive feedback. Definitely the consensus from what I've seen in the replies here!

Any answers? It’s quite simple math - and it’s simply more than 20%?

The overall change was roughly 20% but that's the random event XP reduction, in hand with the total XP output increase.
That's at level 60+, less than that for rituals below level 60.

This can't be true. I, and many others who have posted their rates are experiencing far above 20% reduction.

It's clearly closer to 30% than it is 20, not just the overall rates but individual disturbance rates as well.

Yes, so disturbance rates are closer to 30%, completion rates have basically doubled so the total, reportedly, works out closer to 20% overall. Does that make sense? This heatwave is getting to me! 😰

If you end up having a free moment, I would like to chat about community management. I know now isn’t an opportune time, but this is an opportune example and I’m researching and learning so that I can potentially be one for my team.

Hi Karl, drop me a message, I will try and get back to you when I can!
