So mobs will always give a specific amount of XP now?

Or did you mean removed so we no longer receive it?

it means assignments are no longer the only way to get any good exp, as deathclaws finally no longer give 1exp if you've already killed a few

Yep ok that is what I thought, cool.

Though I think it could stand to stay on say, dogs, molerats, scorps, ants and all the other low leveled critters that are farmed for craft mats too.

So now you can buy 10  grenades with 55 range for 100(?)caps in all flavors, all the time, or 1 grenade with 30 range for ~250caps from time to time

Comparing to a smoke thrown with 150% skill, the 40mm smoke has 1-2 less seconds duration and -1 radius, it costs 5 times cheaper than the thrown version.
Do we ever need throwing skill? Why bother buying 250c nades when I can buy 5 40mm for the same price and get 4x duration? Nerf them, less radius, less duration (5-8 seconds total duration)
The incendiary are ok.

Well the difference between the smoke nade and the 40mm:
- a single 40mm smoke is 50 caps
- requires you to have a 40mm launcher
- the smoke duration is shorter and covers a smaller area.

So it implies a couple of things :
- No quick throw from util slot
- Difference of about 40 more AP to fire from launcher
- Nade launcher has more range
- Hand smokes last longer and is larger

Really comes down to if you want to bring a nade pistol as an off hand or manually load a smoke into your MLGs and fire, then reload back to your HE / Incendiary 40mms.

I'm not saying the price is exactly right for the smoke nade but its definitely not a no brainer here.

Its good to see new changelogs! Good work with the fixes and the new stuff. I think that the price of 100 caps its a little bit better also. What about plasma rifles? No one uses them because it has a lot less range than laser, and the damage difference is not significant to lose so much range. I think a 10 damage buff will help them to see more use.

Plasma rifle is shit right now. I'd put one better criticals as traits and change the more criticals perk it gets at 225/250 for another better criticals to make it somewhat useful

The exp system works as follows:

EXP GAINED = Damaged Dealt / Target Max Life * Kill EXP of target
Kill EXP of target is then subtracted by your EXP GAINED.

Because some critters have insane health regen values it feels as if the exp gained is lowered as the battle progresses but in fact you've already taken all the experience from the critter you were attacking.

So to bring this into prospective, in original FOnline exp gain system, you would have only gained the experience after you have killed the mob but now you gain experience per hit. In the end the total experience gained is the same.

This allows for players who are grouped to be less worried about who gets the last hits so everyone shares experience easier.

Yes, and it seems to be functioning fine cirn0, thanks for that tweak by the way. Killing mobs in the core has some value now.
