I'm a lazy player and seem to enjoy just parking my sunderer outside of big battles and leeching all the XP that comes with doing so (usually someone is nice enough to park an ammo sunderer next to me). If I can i'll find a spot my turrets can shoot over but my hull is protected, but lately every time I try to deploy the bloody thing it crashes on me.

I think you're supposed to stop befory you deploy.

Seriously though, I should get back in to this. I was so pumped, then it finally releases and I got distracted by other things, maybe I'll drop back in soon. Glad to see we finally have an outfit!

An addition to the discusion a couple of days ago on the new xp mechanics in the upcoming update.

Clarification on dynamic XP: it won't just be kills that increase a players XP bounty, that was a poorly worded example...

Any XP earned will add to your XP bounty, not just getting kills.

So it's not just going to be the liberator bombers and snipers who are XP bombs, but the mass reviving medics, sundy spawn drivers and resupplying engies as well.

That is... Creative. Don't stop the XP farming but make the farmers farmable.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

It took forever, but I finally reached the 100 certs I needed to buy anti-tank mines. Now I can't wait to start throwing these things out like candy.

Nope, you need to buy them at 75 infantry resources a piece first :P

I honestly haven't had a problem with resources- I wander around for hours at a time without buying anything, and you get like 10+ a minute or so. And you can buy up a stockpile, so you could have like 700 points worth of them available at a time.

Exactly. It's not like infantry ressources are scarce anyway.

And this, people, is genius. Over time, the sundies would be worth more destroying than farming, for example. People that are in a capping spree would also be worth a TON of XP, I'm sure.

I wonder if this will be persistent, or if you'll have people logging out, just to be jerks and reset their xp bounty.

On the other hand, if you DON'T reset the bounty at some rate, then all XP that's ever put into the system will multiply.

Err, I'm pretty sure that it's reset when people die. That just makes sense.

Does sundie bounty increase when people spawn on it tough? That should probably be a thing.

I would assume that it would be the XP value of the person who deployed the sunderer, not the sunderer itself. There's already a bit of this extra XP reward for killing people who have got a lot of kills in the game, in the form of XP for stopping kill streaks (and IIRC for killing more people if you are on one, but don't quote me on this one), so it's not like this is an entirely new thing, just it being a bigger factor and applying to things other than getting kills.

When it says it will all be implemented by 30th January, does that mean they're going to stagger the changes throughout the month, or do them all at once?
