FearTheReapr Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 please make 12x only last about a month or so You do realise that this time, it's optional, right? You can turn it off anytime you want to...If you only want it to last for a month, then, at the end of your arbitrarily defined 'month', you just use the deactivation item, and poof - No more 12x. What they haven't clarified is whether the deactivation item is permanent i.e. once you use it, no more 12x ever, or whether it's only for that character, or even whether or not you can turn 12x back on again, after using the deactivation item, if you change your mind.

I think I read somewhere that it was tog-gable but don't quote me on that since I can't remember the source. Maybe somebody else can confirm this.

Nwmoon Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I think I read somewhere that it was tog-gable but don't quote me on that since I can't remember the source. Maybe somebody else can confirm this. For Mariselia on where they saw the Toggle option, and others that didn't know when it starts and ends, I copied and pasted this from the main page link to "May the 4th be with you" link: FOCUS ON YOUR STORY WITH THE EPIC STORY XP BOOST! THE BOOST DELIVERS AN ACCELERATED AND MORE IMMERSIVE STORY EXPERIENCE! Inspired by the popularity of the 12x XP Boost, Subscribers can level faster while experiencing a deeper and more engaging story-telling experience. The Epic Story XP Boost includes reduced cool down on quick travel options and increased commendations to facilitate acquisition of the gear you need when you need it. •Level your characters from 1 – 55 at an accelerated rate •Now you have the ability to toggle on/off the Epic Story XP Boost once acquired •Act now, the Epic Story XP Boost ends this Fall And just my 2 cents worth, I love this feature. I've played since launch, have done all side missions on different characters, but I love doing new characters with the ability to focus on the main story without the distraction of side missions. I just wish it was made permanent via a Legacy 50 or combo of Legacy 50 and a level 60 character of each class,,, just something so we have a choice of grinding another, or enjoying the leveling up on another character.

WillRN Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Re-subbed for this as I have only managed to complete the Smuggler and Agent storylines since launch. I really enjoyed the class stories but I have really struggled with the obvious quest repetition when trying to play through the other classes. Very excited to be able to focus on 6 new independent stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FearTheReapr Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) others that didn't know when it starts and ends Ahh didn't notice the mention of 'on/off' We know it starts on May 4th and ends in 'the fall' but no one knows what TIME it starts, which is the point of this thread, more or less!

FearTheReapr Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Well, 1 hour and 11 minutes as of this post, until we know whether it's 12:01am PDT for the start of 12x or whether it's at the same time as the Planetary Status Terminal on Ziost is opened up.

Icelus_rh Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Really hoping it's 12:01am PDT, as I have tonight off from work. If it's later in the morning, I won't be able to start leveling till Tuesday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darathon_ Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I love the 12x xp boost but till fall... I find that as a epic fail and the loss of getting into any 10-55 Flashpoints and Tacs since everyone is doing the Story XP boost Flashpoints are going to be empty and barely used... they should of made flashpoints and Tacs as part of the story so they aren't empty!! I was expecting the boost to last like a week that's awesome amount of time now its till fall! People say good bye to fp ques and tacs since the Story XP boost doesn't work in them! Don't worry there will be alot of people (who are not bad at the game) and relise levels don't matter if I have'nt got goodgear lets do some PVP or some Flashpoints or Some heroics/side quests and itll end up the people who just use the 12Xxp boost and nothing else will get stuck on belsavis Ik I did when the first one came out luckily I was clever ewnough to find away to get good gear again by the time I had to fight revan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rothie Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I really hope it's not 11am eastern. Well, the Ziost event goes live at 8am PST. Would stand to reason the 12x exp event tied to it would go active with the same switch flip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaiderMid Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Well, the Ziost event goes live at 8am PST. Would stand to reason the 12x exp event tied to it would go active with the same switch flip? Most likely. I think people are getting caught up on the droid pet. They start tracking that at 12:01 A..M. PST. It doesn't say anything about the other stuff.

Icelus_rh Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Well I work nights (I had tonight off) and 11am eastern is about the time I go to bed. So I have a somewhat valid reason for wanting it at 3am eastern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celwinn Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 How would you know if 12x is live? Will there be an icon on your buff bar? A green XP bar (like 2x events)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
