Caelrie Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 This was billed as letting me only do the class storyline in order to level to 55, but it's not living up to the hype. I've just finished Hoth and I'm only level 37. That seems more than a bit off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azut Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 You're doing something very wrong by the end of Hoth I was lvl 43 than Belsavis got me to 45 and Voss 48 and lastly Corellia to 51! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caelrie Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) Did you skip a planet? I'm not sure how that would happen otherwise. No skipped planets. The level gap just kept getting slightly larger every planet until now I'm really low for where I should be.

Yeah, definitely not 4, but it probably contributed a bit. When I tried it out, I stayed always at level and in the starter worlds I outlevelled them so much the planet arc and even one of the class quests turned grey. What I did do is use those complementary XP boosts, do all of the quests on the starter world, do the bonus of the class quest every time and as with all my characters a bit of PvP on the side, partly in this case to convert the comms into planetary ones.

I'm at a complete loss as to what this error could be. It's not like you can just skip storyline quests.

Did you do anything besides the class storyline? Nop, ONLY storyline quest not even the bonus from them! I just use the experience consumable from cartel Market for 25% more and I'm on a guild that gives me 10% more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grrrly Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) I've just finished leveling my 4th toon for this event, and my leveling experience has been different for each of them, based on guild membership and use of xp boosts. There were a couple of points with each toon where I was worried I would end up underleveled, usually at around levels 30 or 40. Slinger with no guild and no xp boost, who was killing every mob he came across, had to do most of Corellia before hitting 47, and hit 55 during the last Makeb quest. In the mid 30s I did a couple of flashpoints on that toon to catch up, and some of the bonus series missions on Balmorra. Guardian with no guild and no xp boost, who was also on a bit of a killing spree throughout the game, had to do all of Corellia before being on level to go to Makeb, and all of Makeb to hit 55. Assassin with the benefit of guild xp had to arrive on Corellia before hitting 47, but finished Makeb before starting the last mission there. Shadow with no guild who used an xp boost and was able to stealth through the whole story, killing only a handful of mobs, hit 47 before finishing Voss and reached 55 when handing in the second last quest on Makeb. If you're in a guild with 10% xp bonus and use a standard xp boost you really should be on track, even if you only kill a handful of mobs during the story.

Knightstorme Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 You did pre order the expansion didnt you? Because those numbers sound like regular xp and not 12x... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gomla Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I only do a bit of PvP for comms and i'm a few levels ahead of what I should be. By the time I hit Makeb on my Consular I was level 53, hitting Nar Shada now on my Bounty Hunter and i'm 25. I'm not in a guild but I do use the free 25% boosts from quests.

invertioN Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 OP didn't use the 25% 1 or 3 hour XP boosts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caelrie Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) OP didn't use the 25% 1 or 3 hour XP boosts? I didn't, because I thought I remembered the Bioware dev saying specifically that they don't stack. Edit: Ahhhhh I found the quote, and I was wrong. Now I see what happened. Legacy Class XP perks and Cartel Market Class XP consumables do not stack on top of this boost. Guild XP bonuses and General XP consumables from the Cartel Market do stack on top of this boost.

Lord_Robert Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I really can't understand how this happens.. I've been overleveled on every single one of the toons, I've been leveling using this bonus (4-5 by now)... I've leveled both stealthers and non-stealthers, and the only real difference I've seen (Apart from non-stealthers picking up more drops, naturally) is when in the Makeb Storyline, my toon dings 55. On my first (Stealthassin), it happened fairly late, while on my last toon, a powertech, I dinged before I'd finished the first quest there.. On an average, using a 6.3 (I think) percent guild bonus and trying to stay xp-buffed at all times (With the quest-reward buffs), I overlevel each planet by 4-5 levels and the difference is increasing slightly for every planet up till the Voss and Corellia, where it slows down a tiny bit again.. But even if I hadn't been using those bonuses, considering how much I overleveled with them, it shouldn't really be possible to underlevel. Are you absolutely sure, that you took the planets in the right order? When I received the first two planets after Dromund Kaas on my Powertech, I almost went directly to the second one by mistake, since it fit the level I had. If you make a mistake like that, you're gonna miss a LOT of xp, since the planets turn grey eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicktopus Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I've been levelling a Sage with the xp boost, I do class missions and collect datacrons, asides from that -- not a lot, the only additional story I've completed since Coruscant has been the Shrine of Healing on Voss (to get the endurance datacron). I have, however been killing EVERY mob in my class-story phases as well as the odd world mob I cannot get past without pulling aggro. This has kept me perfectly in line with the level brackets of each mission and planet. I suggest you stop skipping mobs, the cumulative xp from those guys really adds up.

errant_knight Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I used no xp boosts and was at level. I did , however, kill the mobs in a direct line between me and my goal. Stealthers always tend to underlevel is they stealth by the bulk of the mobs. Also, make sure you do the 'bonus:kill 20 of x' parts of the class missions.
