12 x XP for class-missions

They gave us a 2 month BONUS of 12XP. They may very well now regret having given us that bonus, due to the "entitled" demands for a permanent 12XP.

To the best of my knowledge, they have given us NO indication that they are even considering doing so again. In fact, the last statement from a yellow gives evidence that they are NOT considering doing so.

WoW heirlooms cap out at about 45% XP bonus, If I am not mistaken. 80% potions in Rift and WoW heirlooms are a FAR CRY from 1200% XP, would you not say?

The XP boosts already available in this game exceed 50% easily, and that without including rested XP. You can gain 30% to story line XP, space mission XP, exploration XP, warzone XP, Flashpoint XP and starfighter XP via legacy XP perks. There is a guild XP bonus of 10%, I believe. There are consumable XP boosts granting 25% XP, also.

I may be wrong, but all of these boosts are multiplicative, I believe. Even if they are not multiplicative and are simply additive that is 65% XP boost, over 3/4 of what you would get from those potions in Rift and far more than you get from heirlooms in WoW.

Let's look at the total:

Rested XP is 200%. Add 30% for the legacy class mission perk. The add the guild XP perk of 10%. Lastly we'll add in the 25% consumable xp boost.

If those boosts are only additive, that is till 265% XP.

If, on the other hand, those boosts are multiplicative, we have:

200 * 1.3 *1.1 * 1.25 = 357% XP. That may not be 1200%, but it's not too shabby, either.


IMO, the XP boosts we already have are more than enough.

I had all that prior to 12Xp though. I took advantage of every double xp event by rolling a new toon. It takes on average 60 in game hours to level to 60 using just 25% boosters. That doesn't count 2xp events.

The mechanism for a system like this is already in game. F2Pers are currently restricted to 3x loot rolls per week. A similar restriction should be easy enough to code per toon. If you can get a ground-swell of support behind you.

I'm in the same boat, I've done every AC at least once and twice on many. I'm definitely not opposed to permanent 12XP as a QoL addition to players that have shown dedication to the game (ie LL50). I just don't think it should be dolled out because someone has a max level Knight and a max level Warrior.

"Working" for it and having it increase as a player builds their own legacy seems like the best way to go, in my opinion. There would be far less public resistance to it if it is incrementally increasing for every unique class story that you finish. The system I propose incentivizes exploration of the game via playing through all 8 stories.

As I laid out, upon completion of the 8th story, that player is at triple Xp, all the time. I would further be fine if it was checked across the players entire account so it doesn't have to be restricted by a single Legacy alone. The mechanics to check across the account are already in place. Our CM account unlocks are account wide. If you purchase account based storage increases it works on every server. So, the technology is in place to do this.

I'd be fine with a flat 3Xp increase for any toon completed after that capping at 12XP. By the time you have all 8 stories completed, the argument about someone not knowing their class is rendered moot. The gear argument is also flimsy at best when talking about a player with multiple max level toons. There is no shortage of credits, legacy gear or Basic Commendations.

I do feel there should be an on/off toggle, not everyone wants to increase the rate at which they level - and they shouldn't have to be when a preference toggle is easily doable. The 2XP toggle is already in the game and can be flipped dynamically, so if it can be done at the macro, surely it can be done at the micro.

Rested XP is per kill only, it has no impact on quest turn-in or bonus quest XP. Quest XP is where the lion's share of XP comes from in this game. So it might be 357% per kill (until your rXp runs out) but it certainly is not an all the time 357% xp.

I do not see the point honestly.
If the point was to level up really fast. Why not just give you a level 60 pack, that automatically makes you level 60, and gives you a set of level 60 gear? I mean, if I was in a rush to get top the max level, that is what I'd want.

True. I was not considering the rested XP being kills only.

Even not including rested XP in the turn ins, it still calculates to:

100 * 1.3 * 1.1 * 1.25 = 178.75%

That is almost 2X the heirloom XP bonus in WoW and so close to that 80% potion in rift as to be practically identical.

Add to that figure the double XP weekends, which double that XP rate, although they do not stack with rested XP, and we're right back up to that 357.5% XP boost during those double XP weekends.

That still seems to be pretty reasonable to me. I'm still not seeing the need for a "light speed, easy mode, fast pass to max level".

Once again, IMO, the XP boosts we have right now are more than sufficient.

every mmo that i have played with "kill x rats" missions has people that wont group and try to hog all the spawns. it has nothing to do with xp boosts.

edit: wow gives a 300% xp boot for 90 days if your recruit a friend is teamed with you. and your recruit can grant you free levels on a 2 to 1 basis(2 levels earned for every 1 level granted)

you seem to have this deep rooted need to control other people gaming experience. have you considered writing your own? that way when your gaming philosophy causes it to crash and burn you can blame yourself....
