Experience Gained

Is there a way to show how much experience was gained from the last encounter, discovery, quest completion, etc?

I'd love to see "You've gained 2.45% experience from the encounter!" or just a simple "2.45%" located somewhere on the UI.

No. It just says "You gain experience!" in the chat window.

I would also support this feature being added somehow. That sounds like a good idea, if it can be added at all, that is.

With the ones that constantly show your percentage on screen of course, it's easier to keep track that you had 33% and then you had 34%. :P Just don't know the exact amount and you have to keep track of what's giving you the most exp. Something like this could let you gauge what's giving you the most exp-per-encounter, easily.

Exactly. As much as I just love doing math, I'm pretty sure my overgrown calculator of a PC would be much better suited to instantly calculating the gained experience. I've read some posts where people were upset that they can't see the exact number of experience points. That doesn't bother me. I'd be happy knowing a percentage down to 2-3 decimal places.

If experience gain could be dumped into chat window, I could definately see someone making a logfile parser to keep track of kills and experience gains. Wouldn't it be nice to keep a record of your greatest experience gains and the MOBs that gave it?!

i think there would be a way to make a manual one, but without anything to use to trigger(that i know of) you would have to push a button before you gained exp, and then again after you gained exp. of course once you did it initially you would just hit the button every time you killed something (since you hit it the time before that to find out what the experience was) if that makes any sense at all LOL
