majopucik Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Ended the third day at rank 93. I'm pretty sure I had the world-first rank 90 but it's impossible to know for sure. Weekly cap is still not in sight. A small side note, you won't receive the tier 2 crates and the flair with rank 90, you actually have to complete rank 90 (= reach level 91) to get to tier 2. Can you please describe how you are getting the ranks so fast? We were doing ranked premades with the bonus, getting 1000 cxp per match, but got to only rank 25 before we had enough of that.

Torvai Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Can you please describe how you are getting the ranks so fast? We were doing ranked premades with the bonus, getting 1000 cxp per match, but got to only rank 25 before we had enough of that. Let me answer that for you: Right now, the most efficient method appears to be grinding mobs, just like in a typical Asian MMO. This way, I was able to get to rank 43 in the last 24 hours. Sadly, flashpoints and operations are a joke. I had high hopes for those but endgame is even deader than during KotFE now. Zero reason to PuG those outside of my raid group. At least warzones and GSF give somewhat good CXP so PvP players are happy. Grinding elites 24/7. Not my idea of fun. I actually can't believe that anybody would do this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerba Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share Posted December 2, 2016 Grinding elites 24/7. Not my idea of fun. I actually can't believe that anybody would do this Yeah, I was also surprised to find that many players willing to do it. But I guess it's too frustrating when other PvE content doesn't give that many CXP. I don't mind grinding, it is certainly more enjoyable to me than PvP or running flashpoints/operations.

Shrodinher Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 He's grinding elites like mad. But seriously, before I start doing that for hours or even days, I delete all my characters, unsub and uninstall. On the other hand: We tried Bestia NiM yetserday for a few pulls, the whole group still being in 224s and it seemed like it was actually doable. Sin tanks now take less dtps(in actual numbers, not relatively speaking) from 2 buffed monsters even without dcd usage than a jugg or PT tank took during 4.0. HM TFB was actually a joke and more on level of 4.0 story mode. So if you get any decent gear at all, even NiM will probably be a snoozefest:( With bugged dark charge, sins will take less dtps without any utilities or defensives on most fights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majopucik Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Let me answer that for you: yes but which mobs?? still didnt answer my question I can imagine famring Killiks on Alderran but there may be some less annoying mobs to farm. So there is no group bonus? Then i guess u group only to kil them faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deaconik Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I heard that multiple times now. What's bugged exactly? Character sheet is telling me I have +30 % to shield chance bonus(should be 15), I have insane armor(53 % dmg reduction/17k, should be less). For example On the other hand yesterday I was tanking the Monkey from Cartel Warlords and my deflection was 51 %(i have low defense, so this is kinda weird, but then again i have reflect and I use it! ) but the shield chance was only 37 % in Star Parse. So maybe, just maybe, the character sheet is broken. From 700 attacks that went through only 37 % was shielded. Though I've never studied these numbers, maybe it;s the usual. Not sure. But probably both, broken stance + broken sheet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsetso Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 yes but which mobs?? still didnt answer my question I can imagine famring Killiks on Alderran but there may be some less annoying mobs to farm. So there is no group bonus? Then i guess u group only to kil them faster. It hardly matters. Every elite gives the same amount of cxp so just find a good spawn, a couple of friends, lots of caffeine and aoe them 24/7. Kiliks are 1 option, tatooine has some good elite spawns too, i'm sure you'll think of some others. The only restriction i think was elites from starter planets, but i might be wrong about that.

Jerba Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share Posted December 2, 2016 Just hit the weekly cap at 3429/4030 CXP in rank 100. How can this happen? Musco promised players are unable to reach the weekly cap via normal means. This was not even 3 days. Imagine how much you can farm in a whole week? I'm really annoyed right now, maybe I'll level my alt but I don't really know what to do now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess farming elites for I don't really want to know how long per day isn't considered normal playing. Who would have guessed:rolleyes: Edit: And for what you should do now: Well, how about actually playing the game?

Torvai Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 That depends. If you're playing asian mmo it's pretty normal. Yeah, but last time I checked this isn't an asian MMO. And aside from that, in these kind of games it's normally the choice between grinding and paying. Here you pay to be able to grind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajaxduo Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Some of the instanced heroics are pretty decent as you can just reset them without completing the mission, I however haven't found a reliable source which is better than just doing Uprisings tbh. So no idea where the OP is farming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majopucik Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I guess eveyone wants to know where u did this. Mind telling us? Im sure u farmed this in a group as the killing is faster that way.
