Regen! A discussion.

Definite sidebar from Regen, but I'm not sure I understand the above. When you SK'd, you were -1 level to your mentor. Now, you said "for XP purposes", so if XP rates for being a SK were different than they are today, I would be surprised, but I really wouldn't much know. But you really were just -1 for combat purposes. At least until your real level got to -2 levels from the mentors, at which point your SK stopped doing anything.

Now, you might not be the same level as the mission owner, which led to the "SK shell game" as people tried to line up lowbies with someone close to the mission owner's level (and thus the critter level). But I'm not thinking that's what you were referring to.

No, it was a different system back then...you didn't SK to team leader...you had to have a hero on the team SK you...the team could be up to 4 below team leader without getting SK'ed...so you wanted to have someone -4 SK you and you could fight +5's all day...talk about serious PL'ing...at least back then it was...but that is neither here nor there...

I know how it worked. I was here! Plus that system didn't go away all that long ago.

However, I did misread your previous post. I missed that you said "wanted" to be 6-8 levels down for best XP. I somehow read it as that when you SK'd you were (treated as) 6-8 levels down for XP purposes, and that was what confused me about what you were saying.

So... nevermind.

Ahh, yes I can see where you had some confusion then...
