Anslem Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Thanks for the post. It's good to know that some random blog on the internet with absolutely no connection whatsoever to Bioware, LA, or even EA was able to provide everyone with accurate and certainly not false information.

Holt Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the post. It's good to know that some random blog on the internet with absolutely no connection whatsoever to Bioware, LA, or even EA was able to provide everyone with accurate and certainly not false information. For the record though, all of my sources are Official Bioware employees (and linked in the blog post). All I did was gather the information and put the common myths into one location.

Phinion Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Thanks for the post. It's good to know that some random blog on the internet with absolutely no connection whatsoever to Bioware, LA, or even EA was able to provide everyone with accurate and certainly not false information. But the only source he is using is EA/BW... just throwing that out for the conspiracy nuts... but I do agree with everything that blog stated.

blackcerberus Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Players are exploiting PvP Warzone XP due to “low” population. this is wrong people are doing that by queing while questing, so they are getting both XP rewards. noone would make a quest in the 60 or so seconds that it takes to join a BF and get kicked out of it due to underpopulation. basically people are getting xp from mob quests, every here and there a bump of free xp by exploiting the wfs, and then the exp for completing the quest 1 minute later. sorry but the damage control lies arent covering the truth Edited December 15, 2011 by blackcerberus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holt Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 There is no que's I added the no wait queues. http://swordinbox.com/post/14219150877/swtor-early-access-and-launch-myths This is a successful launch I don't mind adding that one but I would like all of the information at least founded on facts and that one one is pretty subjective. My *guess* is that you would find more folks saying it was a successful launch then the number of folks saying it's not a successful launch. But again, that's just my guess.

Holt Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 this is wrong people are doing that by queing while questing, so they are getting both XP rewards. noone would make a quest in the 60 or so seconds that it takes to join a BF and get kicked out of it due to underpopulation. basically people are getting xp from mob quests, every here and there a bump of free xp by exploiting the wfs, and then the exp for completing the quest 1 minute later. sorry but the damage control lies arent covering the truth Good points. However, I have some questions. 1. Wouldn't it take time to join the pvp war zones to just collect the xp take away from trying to complete quests? I.e. I'm in the middle of a quest and jump into a war zone will cause me to have to spend time to get back to where I was in the quest, no? Given that, is it still possible that staying on the quests is the fastest means possible? 2. Is it really an exploit or just the nature of the temporary low population? I'm not out for damage control but as an engineer I always seek the facts. Any info is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the way xp is setup for pvp. If you pvp and only pvp and compare it to someone who does all the quests with story and no spacebar and throw in some gathering and crafting, the pvp advancement will be much faster.

BluePlatypus Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Well, in fairness, there were no queues yesterday. Everything had a light to moderate population. I imagine things will be different today when I get home from work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
