New Expansion questions and a bug

[Aeoric]

I know not many of us know much beyond what Mythic released recently,
but I was wondering, as it wasn't clear from the fluff:

Will Minotaurs be able to play exisiting classes ?
Will only Minotaurs be able to play the new class ?
How will we distinguish a Hib/Mid/Alb Minotaur from another Realm's one ?

Btw - completely ancillary to this thread, but if you have /xpoff you do not
accrue Champions Level XP (even in RvR), although you do accrue MLxp
and Arti xp with /xpoff turned on, just thought I'd share this..

Since xpoff was mainly there to stop people dinging in the BG's, you'd think
that perhaps it might stop MLxp (since some BG's have a cap on ML) but not
CL xp (since you need to be 50 in order to become eligible to start earning
CL xp). So.. this is a bug (perhaps someone has reported it before, I will
RightNow it when I next play).

I don't think anyone knows yet and it may still change as there's still a long way to go before it goes live.

Not a bug.
CLXP is a percentage of the normal XP you earn. if you have /xpoff then you earn 0 xp. A percentage of 0 xp is ... 0 xp.
Arties gain XP themselves, it's not based on XP you actually recieve (otherwise you'd get arti XP for completing quests). You can't do /xpoff on artifacts so they still get XP even when you don't.
MLXP is just an amount of 'special xp' that the game gives you for killing certain mobs. It's like RPs or BPs, it's just a different award of points when you kill something and has nothing to do with actual XP.

And it wont be a problem dinging MLs in BGs, coz you have to go activate the next ml at arbiter..so just dont after ml3 or 5 as the case may be

The minotaurs will be different colours and slightly different things such as the positioning of their horns etc

if they all are dyed in black and on range you still cant see who is who no?

 

[Bahumat]

yes but if you have a celt who is miles away in black you could mistake him for a norse...

 

[Basic_X]

well sure, we all do. but these dudes are actually the same race (its still fun to see all the bards using SoS when another hib grp "jumps" them. thinking they are mids xD)
