[Feedback] New Trial XP
So today we did all 3 trials to see how much XP they give after the boss XP increase.
These XP values are without enlightenment and with 10% ESO plus and 13% cyrodiil XP buffs and full group of 12 people.
AA- 52000
hel ra - 62000 (or 70000 if you get XP for both mini-bosses)
sanctum - 77000
This is an improvement and the XP from trials is no longer completely terrible. However, the XP is still imbalanced between trials considering the time it takes to complete them.
AA and hel ra take around the same time to complete but you get more XP for 1 run of hel ra. First boss in AA gives 400xp, I know you do not want people to farm the first boss, but you should increase the XP for the other AA bosses to compensate.
Sanctum which takes around 3 times longer to complete and is more difficult than the other trials barelly gives more XP. I would suggest to increase the overall XP from sanctum ophidia by 2 times bringing it to around 150k per run, with much bigger bonus for killing the last boss.
Also the difficult mode(at least in AA) gives the same XP as normal mode. I would also increase the XP you get for killing difficult mode bosses.
There is one annoying bug where each time you kill a trial boss one piece of your gear gets damaged by 50-80% percent, it gets damaged more if the boss gives more XP. In sanctum ophida few people had a piece of gear at 0 durability before the last boss.
