I liked the idea of having a size of orb for each multiple of ten, so if you had 9,999 xp there would still only be.. uh... 36 orbs. not nearly as bad. idk how much max exp is though, probably more than that, ok 99,999 would be 45 orbs, vs 99,999 orbs.
savings? lol
Even better: don't drop XP orbs at all. Notch said that he added XP so that there'd be an extra penalty for dieing, and that you'd loose it all when you died. You shouldn't be able to pick you xp orbs back up if you die.
You are obviosly the kind of guy that we all need to listen to, right? After all, you are "Out of the water", A highly respected position. AKA, peacefull is all you CAN do.
so i started playing 1.8 prerelease, and i loved it. i had stayed alive for quite a while, at least 3 hours, collecting xp etc. when suddenly i died from a creeper. i instantly lagged and thought "well thats weird, im running an i7 with amazing system specs." i follow the lag to where i died. my fps goes down to 1, and my cpu is going crazy. i finally reach the spot where i died and low and behold, a million xp orbs LAGGING MY GAME LIKE CRAZY. i have screen shots of the massive amounts of xp orbs, and a video of me collecting xp for 2 mins and 35 seconds while standing in one place (my screen is completely green). however i figured i wouldnt need to post them, as any1 can try this for themselves :tongue.gif:. my plan to fix it? easy. when you die, you drop 1 orb that has all ur xp and tadaaa lag problem fixed. its easy to code, and a very quick and easy fix. i hope notch reads this and puts this in the game :biggrin.gif: otherwise 1.8 is amazing!

The temoprary fix for this at the moment is to swim in lava the orbs will be destroyed, making it so you don't have to worry about dieing with a million orbs and crashing the server

i like the idea of maybe only dropping 30% of your orbs, i agree 100% is too much however none at all would suck i mean think of pvp etc. it would be an extra reward.

Here is some screen shots i took yesterday. We waited for ever for the lag to stop we even had to reset the map once. You can see in the first pic the 0 fps. I have also posted these in the bug reports but there is so many pages I dont think mojang would get to see them.

yeah, I'm more into Notch's original plan that you just lose all XP upon death. I hope dropping XP now is just part of the bugginess of the Pre Release.
Though if we do end up getting to retrieve lost XP the multiple value orbs is a great idea. If we had 1x, 10x and 100x orbs the game could easily calculate how many of each to drop. This could be done for NPCs as well. So a creeper would just drop a 10x and two 1x orbs (or however much xp they drop).
it says earlier in this thread that he did, and emailed him too.
oh right, then. Good to hear
savings? lol
It's pics not dics
interesting, id still love to see a fix in the final version tho
