Squad Leader Archive

I'm in playing, and things have changed. May be a minor change, but when there's one undocumented change of this magnitude, makes me worry/wonder there were others.

The change? Squad Leader XP is now granted based on the Combat XP that your party does (excluding pets). Does not include you - this has been tested and verified. So Squad Leaders wanting to level up actually want to do less damage right now (instead of the old model where you wanted to do more to get more XP).

I'm 100k SL XP from master (from my last box, movement IV). I've yet to see if this will help or hurt me.

Anyone notice any other changes? The broken abilities do seem fixed...

this is the hot topic of the day...

the main result of this will be AFK Squad Leaders soaking up xp.

I doubt this. Think about it... you will only be getting about 10%-25% of theold xp per kill. I think "soaking up" xp is far fetched. I would much rather be non-AFK and getting the old xp than AFK getting the new xp. Less xp per hour online... and time is what it's all about.

The ramifications of this nerf are much worse than worrying about AFK Squad Leaders. This will be the nail in the coffin for those few remaining SLs. Can you imagine those poor souls whose JediHolocron tell them to go Squad Leader?? Oof!

FYI started a thread on the main board to draw attention to this:
