PowerElectronic Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 FANBOIS are forbidden from posting in my threads. Bioware: Start a program of bonus xp weekends. I don't care how you do it, but do it now. Every weekend, or every 10 days, ...whatever. Congrats on a great launch, but ....look this is a NEW subscription based game, and you'll lose half your population within 2 months if people find the game boring/grindy. Do not become overconfident. You're launching in a crowded market, with fairly conventional gameplay. This game feels terribly grindy after you hit level 20. I got to level 20 in beta...and just quit playing. There was nothing new to experience, the VO quests were getting old, and I was losing track of the unique "story" behind each quest because there were so many. Balmorra: I am <insert text> .... crush the resistance <inset text> ... republic ... you will get credits. Player character: Ok ... <insert text> great. I don't skip VO, but I forget most of what the quest is about within 5-10 minutes of playing. I hit level 20 again now, after clearing balmorra, and when I looked at Nar Shadaa's map....I just logged off and went to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaining exp and leveling doesn't equal "grindy." Maybe the RPG or MMORPG genre isn't for you? Edited December 23, 2011 by Gestas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody's forcing you to do all the sidequests if that's something that concerns you within this game. PvP can level you, space combat gives you XP, etc etc. There's nothing set in stone on how you have to level. And, I don't mean to say this in the way of "Bahahah Republic-side is better", but I've personally enjoyed the storyline on the side of Republic a lot more than the Empire-side.

NickWillJenkins Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Bet you didnt know that, if you log out in a cantina(rest zone i guess) and log back in you get 2x XP. But only allows the 2x XP for XY amount of xp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerElectronic Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 Indeed. Not many people know that, though. You play the game game I do? People don't want to group up together, except for heroic quests. In a story based MMO, you want to experience it alone + companion at your leisure.

Carlsbergh Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) This game will fail, big time in a couple of months. I see another thread about Nar Shadaa and other planets being pointless enormous, and hard to navigate. Keep up the good work fanbois. Suck more peen. Want to put your money where your mouth is? I'l bet a 1000 euros that this game will at least have a healthy playerbase and will continue for at least a few years. Care to take the bet officially?

I play with someone else and we are currently levelling a BH and a IA together and we both get to go into each other's storylines. I don't know if we are unusual levelling together but it's good fun. We intend to level several pairs. Each to their own. The game is there to be played how they want to play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greyfeld Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 My Jedi Consular is 4 levels ahead of her story mission, because I've gladly done every side mission I've come across. I imagine that I could skip a lot of them and still maintain a proper level. So yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aisriyth Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 As others have said, group. You gain large xp bonuses and even a loot bonus. Plus! Social points! Grouping is well done in this game, its never forced upon you but they make it a nice incentive to do so, especially with heroic mission areas.
