Why was exp for lever enemies removed?
« on: April 11, 2011, 11:20 »
Doesn't make much sense to me. Is it just so that these levers are unequivocally bad? I feel cheated now when I pull one of these, since at least beforehand if I survived I got something out of it.

edit - Well now I feel dumb... checked recent posts to see that someone literally just posted about this topic in another thread. Sorry!

You still get something out of it if it spawns formers or arachnotrons :)

Armorer Platinum and Diamond should be abolished; the Dragonslayer taboo deserves every scrap of mockery it receives.

Kornel mentioned that he considered it a bug here but he didn't explain why.  I guess that these levers were intended to be dangerous, but the experience (especially combined with enemy spawn delay) made them beneficial.

My point is this: monster levers have 1d3 charges.  Why would anyone pull a dangerous lever a second time?  (Right, ammo.)  I didn't mind the old behavior.

Edit: Wow, that post I linked to is really old.  Maybe there's a more recent one...

I'm pretty sure that the levers are supposed to allow xp gains for the monsters, they did in the past...

The exp was removed for this but now you have levers that can completely clear a level so I guess it balances out.

Well, that is disappointing.
