Lvl39 get no XP , Gold or loot from waves before Warlords
After Warlords they can get XP gold and loot
Level 50+ shouldn't be able to get anything from Normal
This. I'm actually stockpiling my assist xp right now, because I know I'm close to reaching Commando and my imminent marginalization from my House and the rest of the community (I haven't seen people in Hard mode for at least a few days now, other than European servers where my ping kills me).
I know people will tell me that I will still be able to play normal, and that this change was made to "discourage farming," but to be honest, the features and very structure of this mod already ENCOURAGE farming for loot and items--a crafting system and drop-only legendary items, for example. It's these differentiating features that make NI worth playing for me (I used to play Lineage 2, so farming is in my blood). If the farming problem the devs were addressing lay in level 42 players soloing servers for loot, then I strongly suggest adopting, if possible, a solution like Sphinx here presented. This way, high level players could still enjoy normal, while still gaining loot from mobs equatable to those in Hard mode. Better yet, adjust Hard mode further to ensure that high level crafters are still getting the items they need, without having to resort to alts. That they've had to do this is a bad sign I think, and only decreases the amount of high level players who might otherwise play on Hard mode servers.
