I'm sick and damn tired of XP nerfs. I don't pay my money to have those developing the game I play make it harder and harder. It's hard enough as it is. They opened the flood-gates to more Jedi, now deal with it.

So you're saying you want a game without content? That's the attitude!

Dear God, why now? I only just got glowie today!

Both are non-immersive? One in the way that it has no place in the timeline given, the other in the way that it has nothing to to do with the first one. Oh, wait! I'm in a loop!

From the looks the posts here, Nobody has been reading the Patch Notes. THE XP nerf that alot of people have been complaining about was temporarily removed.

Here is the Link so everybody can verify that.

The second thing to notice is the Nerf was NOT to the XP as everybody keeps saying it's to the XP BONUS that awarded. So when this change is introduced grouping will not be killed. It will still be rewarding, only the large bonuses rescevied will be roduced. Not the ability fir groups to smakdown high end mobd. You'll still progress faster than a solo player who gets NO XP Bonus for doing the same content as a Group alone.

That's not what they're talking about. They're nerfing the conversion rate of combat xp in the village to 30:1.

So you sploiters stop throwing noob grenades for uber conversion exp, at the same time totally depending on the teammates you're mooching off of to actually kill the creatures.


Cry me a river. I grinded my boxes using pistol exp.

Hey, newsflash kedo - that "noob grenade" exp isnt for everyone, i'm grinding my last line currently, and know what i use? A PISTOL. That 300000 combat exp i cap out on after capping RIFLES, PISTOLS, AND CARBINES, is worth a lot to me. I'd rather have that 100,000FS exp and less trips to the villiage, instead of 10,000FS exp. Thats total BS, so its not all about grenades. Thats going to cut my roundtimes by a TON!! Instead of bringing 190,000FS exp a round, i'll be bringing roughly 100,000FS. Can you say 2x as long? I sure as hell can. I'm outraged. I have my FINAL LINE to grind, and this hits.I have 2 lines to bank an entire line of FS before the exp nerf. Also, not only will it take 2x the exp basically, but it will also take 2x THE NUMBER OF TRIPS TO THE VILLIAGE, EACH TRIP TAKING 15-20 MINS (adding spaceport times and travel and crap). The 1.2 million for a line is then 12 trips = 4 hoursish of just DRIVING. (oh, and having swoops blown up occasionally, thats always fun.)



So, nades? Screw that, change it to a different exp type. But dont screw over us people that use a PISTOL to grind the normal way.

Edit: Grinded your boxes using a pistol eh? Just note that was 2x faster than what it will be.

/agree


Or at least stop giving 7000 combat XP for hitting things once with a grenade. What's wrong with 700 like the rest of the world? I also grind out with weapons (pikes and unarmed are mine), so I max 2 weapons XP to give me 240k combat XP. Depending on the quality of my group, I'll either hit the village up then or take advantage of an awesome group and grind out the extra 60k combat XP. If I'm in a decent group, I can hit the 300k combat XP cap in a 3-hour inspiration buff cycle. I need 2.5 million more FS XP, so...


180k FS XP in 3 hours (current conversion rates) = 41.67 hours of straight grinding.


100k FS XP in 3 hours (new conversion rates) = 75 hours of straight grinding.


I'm still going to grind it all out, because I'm determined to get my Jedi and play him the right way (meaning not run around with a "Jedi Padawan" title on while wearing my robes and carrying my lightsaber), but that doesn't mean I have to be happy about this. I fully intend to exercise my right to complain.
