Has anyone else noticed significant XP reductions in the last few patches? I think the first one was around patch 1.19, and there seems to have been another one in this latest patch. My first few characters were reaching level 9 by the end of chapter 1. Then, they were maybe getting to level 8. Now, I just started a ranger, and he's only level 5 after completing two of the city districts. I know I'm usually level 6 at this point, because I start to do the henchman quests. I only really play melee characters, so there shouldn't be any xp discrepancy that way, and my current character is a ranger. Maybe they're judged as super-uber, so they get majorly reduced xp, but otherwise the game itself has changed.
Unfortunately, this sort of snowballs. Since my character is lower level, I get fewer creatures to kill and easier ones, so I get less xp than I normally would. For some reason, I'm getting 4 xp per kill for escaped prisoners and zoo guards. Seems like that's really low for a 5th level character.
The only thing I've done differently with this character is do the Beggar's Nest first, instead of the Peninsula district.
