A /slash command for tracking a person's EXP % in real time.

Some people sell leech depending on how much EXP that person gets, thats why during events where theres an extra percentage gain people sell leech for more. So if the leech seller would use such a command that person thats buying would probably be having to pay way more than it normally is intended for that level.

2mil~2.5mil low level leech.
5mil~5.5mil mid low level leech.
6mil~6.5mil leech.
any higher I have no idea, never really got leech after Skeles.. but I'd have to guess about 10mil or so for like Duku or something

 

best suggestion i ve heard this year.

 

This already happens during events regardless of adding in this command. Not so much for low level leech (since there is a general agreement to keep it around 2.5m split) but for ulu3 and higher where the bonus xp is usually within ratio of the price increase.

Ultimately it's up to the buyer to know how to divide xp/price and see if they're getting a good deal.

 

It's something even larger MMO's like old-school Runescape don't do currently(You need to hop worlds/logout to update the highscores), so I would hazard to guess that something along the line makes it not very viable, but I am no dev or programmer so I wouldn't know anything about that. Game -> database is the main interaction when playing, but in the event of server crashes there have been rollbacks(some fairly large) so the game -> database sendoff might not be nearly as often as one would expect. To make it work it'd need to be a nearly constant game -> database -> webhost feed and that could lead to a lot of problems that only people a lot smarter than I really understand.

 

It's really sad that lack of trust made this suggestion, and I see no any downside about this beside of something like 'human privacy of hiding him/herself'.

 

This would also indirectly let people compare dpm while bossing. Intlords gunna be exposed.

 

Possible. like, after finishing a part of HT, we can measure how much exp he got/I got, and say like, "Oh you're NL and I'm BM, but I got higher exp, you're useless kekw"

Wish this remains as joke, but we all know, this can be real, and we will make it real eventually.

 

That sounds kinda cool, actually. It would mean people would stop comparing dpm 45 despite being at different points in the run at the 45 min mark, so we would get better class comparison data. RIP HT cleaves though

Edit: actually probably just easier to do a long dpm test then subtract out the excess time. Nvm!

 

This is not necessarily about mistrust. Many ppl now opt to buy xp packages which take hrs to complete. Buyers will often afk/go to sleep while getting leeched so the seller cannot directly ask what % they are at. In this situation, having a xp status command would be great

 

I think this small tweak could be nice to have although I feel it gonna be hard to code efficiently.
You would have to create "save points" and something to trigger that save point.
Let's say you want to see my exp, your command from your client will have to "talk" to my client and get the exp info from my client. Which actually cause my client to do "save point".
And this is feels like something that could make an entry for data leak and data security problems.
I would suggest to make exp saving points every 5 mins
So if you leech someone you could be updated to the last 5minutes which should be enough for leechers.

 

I actually thought on other idea which can make the suggestion viable with no security issues.
What we care about is how much experience specific player gained and not how much he has at the moment.
So we don't really need the buyer client to parse the data.
Why?
Let's say I'm in a party with another person and I kill a mob that gives 10 exp.
I believe client "knows" the math behind the exp division (its not fully server side), so if i gained 6exp as the mob killer the other partner would get 4exp.
so I believe it viable to create a thread at the leecher client which just calculate how much exp the player gained - and not how much he has.
how it should work? lets say the leecher start the command to follow other players exp - @partyexp or something -
while the thread is working what we care about is the split exp, and I believe its something client sided can do.
so if the leecher gained 100m exp (example) leecher client side could calculate how much each player got in total (with using level+party exp bonus/event exp bonus formula)

 

I think this has to do with how the character is saved into the database, when you change map/ cc / cs / fm, which a character being leeched will not do.
The exp info is still saved on their client, which your $maple command will not be able to retrieve.

From a programming aspect to make this happen, without persisting character info into database every x min.
Make an other /epm-like command, which boardcast the current /epm message into the all chat, instead of only on the client side.

Of course this means that, the buyer will have to cooperate and key in the command from their side.

 

But this could cause data security issues as same as ddos possibility
That's why I wrote my last message
What we care about is the formula of exp splitting, once we have it, you could simply calculate how much experience party members received.
This way we could get the exp that the partner received without getting his personal data

 

I believe the formula is out there already. I am just not too sure if it is the same as what we have in ML or what not.
But I dont think you want to try to do some "not so easy" math, when you are leeching.....

 

O~ Ok
