Exp leeching by linking

mm im sorry if this post is already solved but i searched and i found nothing.. ( or i didnt seach right) but how much eax do i get if i link a player? what are the values that i should consider?

according to ut2004rpg.RPGRules:
Everyone linked together get the exp divided equally.

So if there are 9 players linking 1 other player, and he does 100 points of exp damage. Each player will get 10 exp points.

and how much Damage bonuse does he get when he is linked? greater than the actual Damage bonus of the player? or greater?
in simple and plain english

if elite is in a tower (80 damage bonus) and re-done is linking him ( 70 damage bonus) what he has 150 damage bonus? or more? or less?

80 damage bonus

Does order of linking matter when calculating damage or xp? Does it work the same if all 9 players link directly to the person firing, or if they link in a chain?

To equally leech xp, all 9 players must be linked directly to the turret. If a player is linked to another player linked to the turret, there will be minimal xp obtained.

so if i link a player he gets nothing.. and there is no difference for the player that we link? if so then link must be harmful

No. The way I understand it, you, as an engineer, are linking to a player that is linked to a turret, you will get some xp but not very much. Far less than if you were linking directly to the turret yourself.

If you are linking to a player who is using the link as a weapons, you will also gain xp.

Any links as a non-engineer does not give xp.

i think this in acucurate.. and i will prove it... i was hoping to see hobos high score, and show to to world that if 9 guys are linking a turret the exp is not divided equally..and i think it matters the DB. i will post a picture later to prove this.. oh and by the way i think the damage bonus also change when more guys are linking to a tower

If you want to use my high score from Romra the other day it's posted in the high score post, I don't know how that will help you though, it doesn't show xp or anything for some reason. I timed the picture wrong I guess... I don't know if anyone else has a screenshot of it with the xp on the board.

Was hobo in the turret most of the time? I don't think xp is shared to linkers if the turret is damaged.

actualy that game was the game and the exp that i wanted to show you guys, but u had taken the screenshot with no exp... nah its ok.. but at least now you and me know its not equaly (and yes im taking in account the light sent)

Does it really matter?

Yes I was for that map, probably the first map I have ever played sitting in a turret the whole time. except to hop out and pick up the double damage

But I believe if the turret is damaged, until it is healed fully the linkers will get no xp.

I didn't have a lightning sent out the whole map Hatter, just the first couple waves, then it kept dying so I gave up on it, Elite had his lightning sent out.

And no Demon I don't think it really does matter

well it doesnt matter now, but when and if druid change the settings it will.. and this could be a guide to low lvl engis that focus on linking
