It is a non-issue.
If you can’t prove that you’ve seen people at an advantage from higher XP on Campaign missions then it’s a moot point.
Personally, I’ve come into games far behind in XP and I haven’t had much problem competing. This shouldn’t be a problem unless enough people complain and post demo’s in the future.

I don’t know how many times I have to post this but sigh I’ll post it ONE MORE TIME this is a TEAM BASED GAME, that has TEAM BASED OBJECTIVES. The damage XP you are suggesting has NO TEAM VALUE, and you already are given XP for damage in BATTLESENSE.
There is already a problem of people turning this into a deathmatch game.
You want to focus on individual score play Q3 or CS. I want teammates that are going to complete the objectives.
I can’t make this any clearer for you.
Well that’s true, this is a team game…
But you also have to take into consideration that the more XP you have the better you should be able to perform. That, in turn, should help your team.
Of course, it’s all relative… Just because someone has high XP doesn’t mean they’re necessarily helping the team much. XP is important though.

sounds like what you want is the complete and utter abolishment of the ranking system, where nobody gets any score at all and no ranking whatsoever.
that would certainly solve the problem of ‘people turning this into a deathmatch game’ now wouldnt it?
How is this important? This proposed damage XP does not go towards any player skills (other than what is already awarded by Battlesense)! Its nothing but an addition to an individual’s score.

My god I feel as if I have to dig the crayons and coloring book out for you bani. This XP for damage system has no value for any skills already in the game. So you tell me, when I go and do 40 points damage to someone, where does this XP go? Well, can’t go to light or heavy weapons, because I didn’t kill him. Battlesense is already giving me points for time doing damage, so it can’t work with that. Hmmmmm, nope definitely not medical… No signals involved… Engie… nope. Covert ops maybe? Nada.
So tell me Dr Watson, what is the purpose of this XP other than personal score? Don’t tell me you want to add it to light or heavy weapons. That would be ridiculous, we would all have dual pistols within 5 minutes.
I honestly have no idea what your thought process is by that last response. Not very thought out at all. Please think a little more before wasting my time.
So what if you did 90% of the damage? YOU DIDN’T KILL HIM! A med can quite easily TK/Revive him and have him back in fighting shape in moments. Then say he’s eventually killed by someone else. Should you recieve any XP for damaging him? I say NO, because the damage is nullified. The finisher is the one that deserves the XP, because he got the job done. Sure, if you want to pad stats and feel better about yourself we could have a nice little “damage” column. Totally meaningless of course; since this is a team based game.
Not to mention that he could just do a /kill and deprive you and your team of those precious XP. Whoops. That never happens. At least, not without demo verification.
Your system would encourage people to /kill. Simply because it’s an easy way to deprive multiple enemies from gaining XP.
If you’re a hot shot, you’ll get your precious XP. The system is fine as is. That is, unless you wish to change /kill or tk/revive.
might i suggest therapy for jack and novb before they hurt themselves.
that or try decaf.
i suggest a change to the game and you two become completely unhinged. a simple dissent would have been sufficient, yet you degenerate this thread into personal insults, which in debate is indication of a weak position.
quit obsessing over this like it’s life and death. it’s a freaking game, youre ranting like somoene is attacking your personal religious beliefs. 
When people argue against your proposed XP changes they are “unhinged” but it is perfectly normal for you to argue against something we proposed in changing the /kill system. Classic.
Ike-T
arguing, and degenerating into personal insults are two different things.
nice to see ive got myself a stalker on the sd forums
Who’s been insulting you? Maybe insulting your ideas perhaps, but after your repetetive posts on the /kill thread I don’t really think you can blame us.
When you try to be that counter-productive on another thread is it any suprise that we might find faults in your suggestions in other threads?
God forbid we should disagree with you, a real crime…
I’ll try to remember to beg for forgiveness next time I post.
Ike-T
this is all a moot point i guess because there’s no ET sdk and there isnt going to be one…
My my, such delicate sensibilities in the SplashDamage forum. Irony proliferates it seems.
Get over yourself bani. I didn’t make any “personal” attacks at you. If you took my post as a flame you have no idea what a flame is. I merely retorted to your post. If anything its you that needs to see a shrink to help with that ego you seem to have.
imo, I think some people have worked very hard on this game and regardless of what I hear now, time changes things. I only see the #‘s of players increasing and granted its new (n free)… blah blah blah if there is Players (read Community) I cannot foresee them’ not supporting it…~support and /Or sdk release… or getting the next game out… DOOM 64 Online MULTIPLAYER…yeah yeah yeah…ok doom 32 player,…20…14…12…8 EIGHT…
opps back to topic almost forgot …
“more XP for killing more experienced players”
Will the new name colors that are available increase or decrease the XP received vs just using the basic colors?
