Thread: Whats happening to our XP
I dont even see numbers for my exp now. It just says i recieved pistol exp, medical, exp, or combat exp, but no numbers
The purple floaty text above the kill is how much gets divided amongst the group so if you solo it with a carbine thats how much carbs XP you get the combat xp is the usual 10%
In the Combat spam it will just tell you what type you get. i.e. Carbine / Combat

Yeah and they should call it TESTCENTER... lol
Oh, that's a good idea. And maybe they could let players make characters on that server!
Hrm..but being a test server wouldn't be very good, because you can get hosed quickly by changed that never make it to live, so it might not be well populated. Oh, wait, I know...they could make copies of live servers and people could test out major changes ahead of time.
I think it's been ......

It's now split among group members, and is divided by the number of people in the group. So if theyres 8 people, you get 1/8 the xp. If it's 2 people, you get half. If you're alone you get full xp.
Kinda stinky isn't it?

... I also heard it MIGHT be a bug on the JEDI forums

Thanks... I thought so
My best guess after settling back and thinking about it is that it's a bug. The fact that two different numbers are being reported in group exp leads me to believe it's bugged.
If it isnt a bug... Then I just want to say I love you all...

But your compadres are saying it's such a good thing.
Yeah, a lot of BH's are happy that there will be less Jedi or temped jedi. But they fail to realize that to get to Master BH it's gonna take some poor Novice BH the same time it would take a pre-pub 22 Jedi to grind out a full temp. For any profession this is simply just ridiculous.
I know SOE wants to limit Jedi, but this is out of hand. Just add like 2 or 3 more village phases or something. I dunno.
A lot of people are saying, well this is to balace xp to how it was pre-CU. There's no way it's even remotely even. Back then I could sit in the middle of like 6 mokk shaman and use swordman spin attack and get like 4500 xp a kill, and kill them all at once. The result would be about 25k or so xp a minute. Now by myself, even with a very strong template, it takes me about 30 seconds+ to killjust onelevel80-82 mob.
SOE just triple incapped xp
Errr nope... all the posts say solo is the same as before so it will take the same amout of time to do solo!
You can still use AoE attacks, you'll still kill em all.
I've posted this somewhere else already, but the idea of a 5k kill solo being worth 10k to a 2 man group was stupid to begin with, no wonder noobjedi were temping up so fast, just before it seemed to be damage related again wich was a step forward.
This new fix is the way it should have been all along. I remember over 15 months ago feelin a sense of pride gettin my skill boxes, now you have people whining that they cant get to an elite profession really quick? Post CU i mastered carbs and x431 pistols in a week with the previous stupid xp system. I say this is an exelent change. More in line with any other RPG. Where being in a group makes combat easier and hence you gain less XP.
Dude, I'm sorry, but I think you're gonna be the first person I've ever called a moron on the forums. How the hell can you say it's the same amount of time, since you can get the same amount of xp solo? Is there some magic attack that does 6000 damage to a 80 mob, so that I can kill it as fast as I would kill it in a group ofhighlevel players? It's gonna take longer to level up. Longer than pre pub 22, and even longer than pre-Cu. You say you want the grind to be long, so that you can get a sense of pride? Well you're gonna have a buttload of pride now.
Oh and you point out you can still area attack, so it's the same as it was pre-cu? Oh boy, let me go area attack a bol nest .... You have been incapacitated. Do you not remember how it was pre-cu?Players were god like. I could take7-8 *so and so looks like instant death*mobsat the same time. If I were to try that now I'd bein the cloner in 15 seconds. But you go ahead and area attack while grinding solo, then just let me know how great it's working.
The good thing about SWG was that it wasn't like any other MMORPGs. It wasn't a big deal to grinda (non-Jedi)character to their highest possible level, whether it be using all your skill points or, in the new system, getting level 80. They designed the game so that themain focus wasn't to endlessly level up your player, as it is in most MMO's. Now it's gonna be a big chore. I wish I didn't have to resort to a tired cliche, but I play a game to play a game, not to work. If you want to feel proud about your work don't lookto a computergame. Why don'tyou go tutor underprivleaged kids or something if you wannabeproud of your accomplishments.
Sorry, but your post just annoyed the crap outta me.

Sorry, but your post just annoyed the crap outta me.
How the hell can you say it's the same amount of time, since you can get the same amount of xp solo? - If you are refering to my initial post I thought i clarified it later. Perhaps not, so i will below....
Is there some magic attack that does 6000 damage to a 80 mob, so that I can kill it as fast as I would kill it in a group ofhighlevel players? - Not that i know of.
It's gonna take longer to level up. Longer than pre pub 22, and even longer than pre-Cu. No it wont. See below
You say you want the grind to be long, so that you can get a sense of pride? Not long like months but longer than 2 days was my point that i made in response to Kurouki
Well you're gonna have a buttload of pride now. - If i change temp then yeah. Good.
Oh and you point out you can still area attack, so it's the same as it was pre-cu? Oh boy, let me go area attack a bol nest .... You have been incapacitated. Do you not remember how it was pre-cu?Players were god like. - Melee stackers and trip combat mastery's were ranged -not so much.
I could take7-8 *so and so looks like instant death*mobsat the same time. - the con system was always borked, and i bet you couldnt have done that without a buff.
If I were to try that now I'd bein the cloner in 15 seconds. But you go ahead and area attack while grinding solo, then just let me know how great it's working. - It does, i routinely AoE Malocks on Dath, they are CL 75, i get XP by the bucket...head to the village trade for FS - (after that ranged speed dont you know...)
The good thing about SWG was that it wasn't like any other MMORPGs. It wasn't a big deal to grinda (non-Jedi)character to their highest possible level, whether it be using all your skill points or, in the new system, getting level 80. They designed the game so that themain focus wasn't to endlessly level up your player, as it is in most MMO's. -It depends what you get out of the game, crafters get the "better and better results", entertainers used to get the social aspect etc etc
Now it's gonna be a big chore. - I disagree - see below
I wish I didn't have to resort to a tired cliche, but I play a game to play a game, not to work. - Me too.
If you want to feel proud about your work don't lookto a computergame. Why don'tyou go tutor underprivleaged kids or something if you wannabeproud of your accomplishments.- Try and keep it in context, i am proud of the real work i do, WAY more than what i do in the game, but the "hard" stuff i do in game i am proud of - in the context that it is a game.
Sorry, but your post just annoyed the crap outta me. - We are all free to express our opinions, i try to express mine without calling people morons tho.

- It's gonna take longer to level up. Longer than pre pub 22, and even longer than pre-Cu.
- Now it's gonna be a big chore.

In response to these points/questions.
As Tiggs posted here
"A larger group experience bonus was implemented, to ensure that grouping is still optimal: although experience earned per kill is less, a group of players is still able to earn experience over time at a much faster rate than a solo player."
So it wont take longer, it wont be a big chore and my initialErrr nope... all the posts say solo is the same as before so it will take the same amout of time to do solo!remark was a rathersimplistic retortin response to the frankly ludicrous idea that it would take as long as ajedi ful temp!
(But they fail to realize that to get to Master BH it's gonna take some poor Novice BH the same time it would take a pre-pub 22 Jedi to grind out a full temp. )
Grinding out BH solo will take as long now as it did before Pub22
Grinding any other skill in a group will take muchless time than solo but more time that pre pub 22.
