Scout Archive

Okay. I've whined about AXP enough. I'm tired of it, and I know everyone else is tired of it. Now I've had an idea to do something about it.

Those of us who seem to have a harder time getting AXP (for whatever reason, be it an addiction to solo play, not enough game-time to develop in-demand skills, or whatever) should pool our resources to help each other out.

If there are any scouts out there having a tough time getting AXP, here is what I propose:

1) Everyone interested post your in-game name and server here. Additional helpful detailsto post include your primary combat skill(s) and the usual times that you play the game.

2) Next, we'll all go to each of the listed servers (if we aren't on that server already) and make a new scout character.

3) We'll picktimes to all get together online. Each day we'll pick a different scout to help. We'll log onto theserver of his/her primary characterand go on a group hunt. We'll burn through as much scouting XP as we can, and let our target player train us all. If possible, we can all fight withour target scout's combat skillas well, so that he'll have one more skill to train us in.

4) We'll just go down the list of scouts in need of AXP and repeat the process.

This could take a little time, but for those (like me) who enjoy the hunt more than the "city-sit", this will be more fun and more social than some of the usual AXP grinding methods. Plus it will allow us all to get to know some people across different servers.

We can use this thread as a way to keep track of our plans and our progress.

So, anyone interested? Am I crazy? Thoughts, comments welcome. Flames accepted, but not encouraged.

My info:

Character Name: Jai-Bri Sihun
Server: Scylla
Relevant Skills: Scout 3-3-3-3, Pistol 3, 1-hand melee
Usual Playing Times: Weeknights, 8:30pm-11:00pm EST, 1-3 nights/week

Jai,

I think this is a great idea.

Let me know when and where to be.

Terrific idea. Count me in.

My scout character:

Name: Gax Myscot
Server: Lowca
Times: Usually very late at night or very early in the morning (EDT).
Skills: Scout 4/4/4/2 Marksman 4/4/2/4 Medic 1/1/0/1

I'm in.

Name: Eazy

Server: Corbantis

Times: after 6 on most days and weekends but if you need a special time let me know

skills: scout- 4/4/4/4 marksman 4/4/4/4 (working on master with both), medic 1/2/0/2

I don't play many hours per week but I'm willing to contribute what I can, especially being as I'll be needing the AXP myself here soon enough... I just hit 3/3/3/3 and now have enough exp for 3/3/4/3. If any participants are on Chilastra, I could hold off on training Hunting IV long enough for us to meet up.

Name: Mikala
Server: Chilastra
Skillz: 3/3/3/3 scout, 1/4/0/3 Marksman (about halfway to novice pistoleer)
Playing time: Evenings after 8pm, sometimes mornings before 8:30am (EDT) - sporadic days. I might not play for 4 days then I might play 3 days straight.

heres another little loop hole for AXP that might help. get a friend and a skill you can teach them then have them surrender it and teach them again. You will lose some xp when you surrender but not all I believe. Then your friend can quickly get back up to the point they are teachable and start the process over. Would save this project a little time.

- I havent tried this but I think it works.

Jai,

I think you just volunteered for AXP coordinator.

Let me know which server first and when and I'll make time if I can get re-paid in kind. Evenings please. My usual playing time 6:00 to 8:00 weeknights Fridays 8:00 to whenever MST

If there is a lot of people maybe split us into two groups.

Alright. We've got some interest. I have taken it upon myself to keep track of everyone involved, and make sure everyone gets some help. Unfortunately, my life just got very busy, and I'm going to have to go out of town for a few weeks. I won't have access to the game, but I will have access to the forums, so I'll try to coordinate from "beyond the game" as it were.

I nominate Ezell (Eazy on Corbantis) to be the first player we help. He's already bumping against the Master Scout box, so let's try to help end his misery.

Ezell, since you are the focal point, please pick a date and time for everyone to show up and help you. Also pick a starting planet and city where everyone can show up to meet you. That way, everyone can create their newbie characters in that city, and get the game going that much faster. There ain't no XP hunt without you, bud, so let us know the when and the where.

Once the time and date is set, everyone get on Corbantis with your young scout apprentices, and give Eazy a /tell.

If I can make it I will. If not, I'll try to catch up next time. If nothing else, I do plan to keep bumping this thread up, keeping track of who wants help and who's gotten help, and generally managing the "project".

How did I end up being a "project manager" for a game I play to escape the reality of my daily life as a... project manager.

I've maxed my AXP, but I'd be willing to help when I can!

Another trick I learned with my Tailor (whom I'm currently working on AXP for master merchant and master artisan) RangedSupport is your friend. A lot of crafters pick up novice marksman skills with no intention of being a "combat character" or advancing in any area that requires the combat xp. So it's all just sitting there. Find a Crafter (or anyone else not using their combat xp that has novice marksman) and sit down with them for a few minutes and train/untrain/train Ranged Support 1 and 2 till they run outta xp.

Count me in.

My info:

Character Name: Adoki Soprano
Server: Gorath
Relevant Skills: Scout 3-2-4-3, All marksman
Usual Playing Times: Weeknights, 9:00pm-11:00pm CST, 1-3 nights/week longer on weekends

I prefer to team up with someone on the Tempest server because I already have a noob character started there from when I started the game. He has a couple of marksman and scout skills already that I can abandon. If you are interested in doing this, contact me ingame on the Gorath server. I am usually hanging outside of Keren.

ok cool,

How is tuesday the 7th at 10 pm est? We could meet in theed on Naboo, on the Corbantis server.I am at work at the moment so I just glanced at the other posts in this thread. I did not see many statements on what time zone people are in so, if thats to early or late I will change the time so that we could have the maximum amount of people there.

heh yea cool,

-Ezell

oops make that monday at 10 in the pmest, all other information, the same.

sorry about that
