Yeah, as the new better balance point.
120% vs 130% is a smaller gap than 100% vs 130%. That is the goal.
And it wont make group XPing any slower. Which is a goal for some people.
One again, point is, increasing solo to 120% and nerfing groups to 108.3% is not the same.
Increasing solo XP/MF buff to 20% would be a decent start for rebalancing solo and grouping.
2 and 3 players should be increased to 30% buff however. No reason they should be worse off than 4man groups.
And of course, this change should not stand alone. It doesn’t make enough of a difference alone.
Just one part of a larger balance patch.
- Same XP buff for everyone. Heck, make it 20% for 1man, 30% for 2-4 man, that is a good start too, as described above.
- Bounty adjustment for 1/2/3 players.
- Reduce monster HP for 1/2/3 players
- Buff follower with new/better items. Make them immortal as default.
