nyrkverse Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) You're right, this is all about you, I'm sure they had Oct 10th highlighted in their calendars too: "Reminder: Trlance birthday. Make sure to issue a patch. Cookies if it's broken and takes the servers down". Edited October 8, 2017 by nyrkverse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangenee Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 5 hours. Guess there's a fair bit of prep work for the merger. I'll have to try the outside world, I hope my DCDs hold up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundown Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Will the CXP-gains on Daily-areas be toned down again, or stay at the current level? Quite frankly: it should stay like that. While I do agree that using the CXP boost and efficient (and tedious) farming you really climb the ranks real quick, but then again you can only do it for so long. Right now I don't use boosts and just casually do a daily now and then, which really makes the CXP gain worth the while: you feel rewarded and the speed is resonable.

I stopped doing dailies daily and started doing them when I felt like it. It made the process less grindy and more rewarding. If I just felt like doing Ziost that was worth maybe 1 or 2 levels. If I felt like doing Yavin, it was good for about 4-5. So whatever I felt like doing some progress was made. With the old amounts I could all the dailies and maybe get a level at best.

DieAlteHexe Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 The link doesn't work for the patch notes. Well they did say "on Monday" (Patch Notes will be available on Monday, here. ) and it's barely Monday to them. Way early for anyone to be in the office. I usually start checking around noon Central Time, US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casirabit Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 For heaven sakes. Provides a link for you to use and you grouse about it. Sheesh. There will always be some that look for something to complain about. prove the link, they complain, don't provide the link they complain. I sometimes think if some people don't have something to complain about then they are not happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juliushorst Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Missions for the Iokath Daily Area have had their Command XP rewards returned to their correct values. Does this mean other daily areas remain as they are now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarova Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Is the double xp event starting with this 5.5 update? Don't think so. In the Q&A I think Keith mentioned that all daily areas go back to awarding 75CXP per quest from tomorrow? We are getting a new legacy perk for CXP iirc. The actual double event comes with 5.5.1 on 8th November according to the schedule. Which is probably why all the daily areas were packed today. Nearly 8pm in the UK - any sign of the patch notes?

Dev Post EricMusco Posted October 9, 2017 Author Dev Post Share Posted October 9, 2017 Hey folks! Little bit of bad news, patch notes won't be available today. Working through some final issues, especially around localization. You can expect to see them live following tomorrow's maintenance. Apologies for the delay, I know you are eager to read them! -eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
