Currently there is a bug with one of the minion waves Baal spawn, precisely the 2nd wave.
If there is 8 people in a party and all members are present in Throne of Destruction during wave 2, you will get almost no experience (exp).
The problem:
Full game, all players in game is in the same party, and all players are present in Throne of Destruction when the 2nd Baal minion wave (Achmel the Cursed) is spawned.
The workaround:
Thus far the workaround benefitting most people and efficiency of Baalruns (Brs), has been to have 1 player leave the party (usually lowest leveled person) right before wave 2 is spawned, so that the 7 remaining players in party get exp. The amount of exp you get if all 8 players remain in party and present in Throne is so miniscule you might as well not even have been present in the first place.
This is a SERIOUS bug that should be fixed ASAP. Having completed multiple level 99 chars back in legacy (at least 20, the legit way), I can vouch for how maddening and damaging this bug is of peoples sanity, when you’re running public Brs. You have to mention this bug each time someone unaware of it happens to join the Brs, then they usually refuse as this obviously sounds like a scam to benefit oneself for more xp. Then you have to explain the bug and how it works and try to get them convinced. - Usually if they still refuse cooperate to maintain these efficient runs, they will usually get locked out of party from future games… Hoster or Throne teleporter will usually say to not include that person in party from that point on in future games.
I find this to be disheartening and slightly toxic, but we also gotta be a lil mental to do 2 min Brs on repeat for years.
So please fix this ASAP.
