I think I have figured out why I was getting massive exp loss on death. I always thought exp loss on death was just a varied percentage being taken away from the players current exp. I assumed that was the case which is a noob mistake. I should know better than to assume anything like that.
Yesterday I started looking for the code that controls death and exp loss and well I found it. There is a large modifier in that formula just as there was in exp gain. So I decreased the modifier by the same factor I used in the exp formula. Then I repeatedly killed a level 85 character as a test, the character only lost about 10% exp on each death instead of 7 levels per. Gonna test this some more but it is looking pretty good so far. I also changed the code for death by sacrifice that necros love using.
Are there any other death tricks in the code that I should look for?
