horatio_picard Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 My educated(?) guess is that subscribers get 12x (!!!!) experience for class missions only..So, not world, not pvp, not fp, etc. But just the class missions (maybe 4 or so per planet) only. Would you concur? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you concur? It's just story missions. But that alone should be enough to get you most of a level per mission anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you concur? That is correct, it is only Class Story Missions. You will not get that experience bonus for any other types of missions while you are leveling. The only "sort of" exception to this is when you enter Makeb. Chapter 4's main storyline across the planet will count as a Class mission for the sake of this bonus. TLDR - Class Story Missions until Makeb and then the main Chapter 4 storyline on Makeb. -eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danw Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 This is the best thing i have hard ever for swtor, now i can enjoy the story without all the other stuff that you had to do to get enough xp to level, that diluted the story! Again now I just enjoy the class stories and finally level up alts (since i hated repeating the planet and misc quests). Though I do think that people should play all the quests on their first character to experience it. Now if they just sold this as an item after the limited time ends, i think people would buy it.

Darth_Wicked Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) It is probably a consumable. Nop. Confirmed by several mates here in the forums to be in full-effect once you pre-order the expansion. In other words, it appears to be mandatory.

IkedaTeramusa Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I've been preordered for about 2-2.5 hrs.. I've exited completely out and restarted multiple times. How does the buff show up? It's not showing up on my 51.. and I want him to 55 before I start my next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are just rewarded the extra XP. You'll see it in your quest rewards window. A lvl 14 class mission showed ~4k for me before. After pre-ordering, it shows ~54k.

IkedaTeramusa Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I get the storyline part.. I figured it'd show up as a buff. Lemme go complete another mission to see. It'll save me time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sotty Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) Doesn't seem to work without problems. Some of my toons have the XP boost and some don't have it. Edited October 6, 2014 by Sotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimG Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Don't want the XP boost, don't pre-order. Except you also lose out on the 7 days of early access. Why would they make the class leveling boost mandatory? Why not simply make it a consumable on a 30 day timer? How freaking hard would that have been? Some of us actually enjoying playing our characters and don't want to fast-forward through 55 levels of play. Mandatory power-leveling.....ridiculous.

Lithy Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I don't suppose you could keep this preorder XP bonus as a perma thing but only to 55, not 60. It would be fantastic for us and would be one of the best pre order rewards ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
