How about logging out causes it to half? atleast then when I log back in 30secs after logging out I havnt lost the entirety of my work???

Andy you have to start realising that the majority your customer base are aging we now have families, demanding jobs and a million other real life commitments that will always come first try to consider that in all you implement.

100% this (40+ fulltime with a 7yr old with a very ropey internet connection), the meter is a feature others can take far better advantage of than lowly ol' me :) And seeing people state you can gain a full bar in 15 mins?! I assure you that an ave kit 141 tao soloing cannot do this, ever :p

It's the wrong solution. The whole point of it is to give reason to maintain engagement, so taking a break is completely contrary. If many people find it too hard to reach a good chain then maybe the rates should be lowered on gaining it and on the rewards you get from it

I know wummys comment seemed a bit sarcastic , however I have always found it very easy to max out killchain within 10 mins . I was a wizz with a nice kit so may not be a fair comparison to a a tao or warrior with an average kit ? Maybe Scorp needs to look into this and make it class based because a tao can’t kill as fast a wizz ? Correct me if I’m wrong .

Tao can get grp with a Wizz if they Wana do fast kill chain
 
Give it a timer after you log out. Instance Aro had to quickly go and knock 1 off….if he doesn’t log back in within 30sec ok I be nice give him 1 min then you don’t retain the bar. It’s a good solution imo

Kind of what I am trying to say.

further example last night i logged in had 1hr 58mins left on a dura pot so i went straight to naga ds map had it all to myself the entire time, 50mins in naga and i hadnt reached the ball part of the meter yet and I had to log to tend to the child for 1min.

Logged back in had way better luck and had meter full in 30mins, had 10 mins of full meter and mrs calls me like someone had been murdered because there was a spider in the kitchen, logged back in approx 40secs later.

Both times last night and almost every time i dont close the game I just log to char screen and I log back in before the client lags out (so a very short time frame)

Typical examples of why I cannot keep meter full.

Would it not be op having 120% drop/gold/mfind whenever you log in and all you have to do is spend the initial 20 minutes grinding?

Extermination meter is a bonus for being a bit of a geek or having the money to buy an eradication wep.

Your personal life is just that, your personal life not the rest of ours. The people that play alot could easily abuse the system if it was too easy to max out ending up in the market getting flooded with mythics.

Especially during events that's broken af. Grind to 120% in event caves, drop items and log. Then relog at npc still sitting around 100+. Makes eradication weps useless and gives no advantage to the people that have the time to put in. Mir has never treated part timers well. It's not WoW.
 
I suspect this thread has run it's course. Both sides of the debate have been adequately portrayed, there's nothing constructive to be added. My prediction is chaos and insults from here on
 
Exactly what I was trying to say. This is a feature for increasing engagement, it is literally a kill speed counter. The suggested changes fly in the face of that and turn it into some eternal buff, by which point, what's the point. May as well remove it and make all the buffs a base rate.

Maybe the whole Extermination Metre feature is too powerful and needs to be made more modest - ie faster to gain and lower buffs

I understand your predicament and hope there will be more things for you to do in future that may be achieved in short "bursts" of time.

For us poor internet connection users, just a 30 second disconnect timer would make the world of difference, I can't see how that could be abused by anyone, but you know best :)
 
Say for example you cleared a dungeon from start to finish, log out, get sent back to an early map which now has full respawn. Abused.

Is it possible to change it so on log out the bar doesnt just disappear but continues to degrade like it would if I was stood afk?

It does degrade like normal. I've logged off for a min to handle my kids while lvling and still had half a bar.

Atleast it used to not long ago
