Offline gains flaws
#1
If offline gains are based on your exp/gold per minute at the time you log in (correct me if I'm wrong, most arguments in this are invalid without this), then something has to change.


In a party with 4 players that don't stay online 24/7, the guy who gets online first is losing a huge ammount of exp/gold without the bonus from party bonuses (ascension upgrade, bonus dps, 5% extra bonus per player online). It also makes it better for the last player to log out at the day to go offline as soon as he's alone, as he will lose only 10% of his gains instead of 50%+ from party bonuses.

Now if we take an uncommon party as example, with 1 player 24/7 and 3 that are not. If the 24/7 guy stays online alone for too long per day, he's getting less exp than the other 3. (Same thing as the previous example.. if you're online alone, it's better to log out and come back in when there's at least one person online).

That can also happen on a party setup with 2 or 3 24/7 players and 1 or 2 non-24/7, but we'll need some numbers here:

If they all have the same dps (let's say 100 for easier calcs) and party boost upgrade maxed.
2 online: 100 dps -> 110 dps (10% bonus from the other) and 55% boost from party.
3rd guy logs in: 100 dps -> 120, with 60% boost from party. If we reduce 10% from that party boost, it becomes 54%. So his % modifier is 1% lower but his dps is ~9% higher.

3 online: 100 dps -> 120 dps and 60% party boost
4th guy logs in: 100 dps -> 130 dps and 65% party boost, that becomes 59% with the 10% penalty. Again, 1% less % modifier but ~8% higher dps.


TL;DR players going offline are getting more exp than the ones in his party staying online. If you log in and your whole party is offline, your offline gains are screwed.

A easy suggestion would be to ghost the offline members' dps and still give their 5% bonus per party member for those who are still online (for up to 14h offline). It could be exploitable, yes, but this is a flaw that can't be ignored imo.
