galactichorizon Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Okay, so I'm far more a story driven game player than an MMO player. I've had a TOR subscription off and on since the game came out. And I gotta tell you, the 12X XP boost is the most fantastic thing ever. I have alts that aren't just level 12. I can blow past the boring planets, (*cough* nar shadda) and do the awesome planets (like Tatooine, and Alderaan) at my own pace. Can...can this be a permanent thing?

Rayquin Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I love being able to skip most of the boring side missions and just focus on the class quests. Even though finding some decent armor for my alts is kinda annoying, even with the 12 basic comms per mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaffleQwop Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 It's good and all... But once you hit Belsavis, you just want it all to end. Corellia is the point where I nearly delete the character just so I don't have to with the hour long missions of running around, getting lost because of the godawful map.

Hoping for at least until Fall so I can finish up my pub side. 12XP is so, so amazing. All my alts are improving dramatically at breakneck speed.

OddballEasyEight Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 A bit off-topic, but I've noticed that people generally either dislike Nar Shaddaa OR Alderaan. Never both. Could I ask you (the OP) why you dislike NS and not A? (Personally I like both, but I dislike the travel distances on A) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khryn Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I like Alderaan because of the scenery. It's a beautiful planet. Nar Shadaa just seems so.. Trailer-Trash Vegas. I love the 12x XP. If I don't feel like a certain character tonight, I can switch and actually get things done on another. And having my cybertech cranking out mods and armor 24/7 is fun. I've made so many credits just by overproducing and then selling them on the GTN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I started this game, I leveled every republic advanced class to at least 15, and couldn't stick with any of them. I got at least 4 to level 27 and finished tatooine, and then ended up rerolling them. When 12x came along, I decided I wanted to give the Gunslinger another chance, and stuck with it. Now he's almost level 56! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandFlurry Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I say, "Thank God for 12X", but i've been so sick and RL stuff, I haven't really been able to use it fully. I still Thank Bioware for this, as i should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horrorfaneightys Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 It's been a godsend for playing my consular - I find the entire class a struggle to play but want to see the story. I'm loving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saremun Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Yeah the 12x is the best thing in SWtor indeed, i wish they add a perk for legacy rank 50 or something similer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmbuddah Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I'm sorry, I have to completely and utterly disagree. 12 x exp has ruined the social aspect of this game. Warzone, flashpoint, operation, and starfighter pops are just non existent right now because of this nonsense, want to do a heroic? Good luck with that, everyone is too caught up in their single player mentality atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with that, everyone is too caught up in their single player mentality atm. That's funny... I wanted a helmet from the PvP vendor today, so I popped the WZ solo queue and played 3 matches. Didn't have to wait more than 2 minutes for each match to pop. And this is on an RP-PvE server before noon on a sunday... Heroics have always been dead though... most people seem to solo them once they are overleveled just to get orange gear, but other than that, I haven't seen anyone ask for players for a heroic for the last 2 years or so.

Aumvaar Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I've had no problem popping warzones or flashpoints since 12x went live, but I've definitely seen people saying outright that heroic missions aren't worth doing. I don't think that's an especially bad thing. I'm grateful for anything that gets me off Taris & Tatooine ASAP. Sadly, it also means finishing Nar Shadaa far too quickly I'd probably like Alderaan more, because it is quite pretty, but it also seems a lot laggier there than anywhere previous. But Nar Shadaa is the bomb. I love the city-worlds, they're totally different environments from what I'm used to leveling in while playing MMOs.

strallart Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Yes it so is. It needs to be permanent. No reason why it shouldn't be. No one is forced to do it. If you're worried about flashpoints not being run, stop worrying. They were dead even without 12xp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're worried about flashpoints not being run, stop worrying. They were dead even without 12xp. No, they weren't, I could queue for a flashpoint as healer / dps or tank / dps and usually get a pop within minutes. NOW, forget about it, even as a tank or healer, I might as well give up.

Must be your server then... because, like I said, on my server PvP queues are working fine and the flashpoints are working fine. Not the leveling flashpoints (excluding KDY), but then they hardly ever popped before either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nafu Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) I think BioWare could have better invented a Death Star before its time and blown up all planets under level 55 and/or they could have started players from level 55 instead. Personally I hate 12x XP boost. It killed entire low level content except story missions (which was already suffering) to say the least. It seems only good for BioWare who loves to milk players in anyways they can, instead of making the game more playable, more enjoyable, fixing issues which are there since the release and make loyal and permanent subscribers. Since they played on people's greed over any boost, they could be able to pull lots of artificial temporary subscribers to the game who will pay for a while and leave after they finish all story missions. This boost made the game almost single player till level 55 and killed all MMO and social aspects. No one can find any group for anything anymore on those levels. Oh yeah, and it is good for players who have mains and want to level more alts by fast forwarding. I feel you guys, don't worry or be mad at me But I don't think it did any good for new players who are trying to explore planets, missions and other game content etc. or for game in long term. It is like saving the day for the company to increase their subscriptions. This is my opinion. I hate any boosts anyways. You can all disagree. You may be right according to you. I may be right according to people who think like me. I won't discuss about it further than expressing my own opinion. Have a good day guys Edited May 17, 2015 by nafu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People only did lowbie level FPs like that because they needed to grind something, it resulted in a rushed experience with grouchy group members. Now it may take slightly longer, however people are doing it because they want to. If it's really bothering you then join a guild and group up.

Bromlin Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I always subscribed to SWTOR for 2 or 3 months and then left for at least the same amount of time; I did that since release. I have always liked the game, but not enough to keep me playing for a longer period of time. The class stories were overall quite entertaining and so was the main storyline for each planet, but the number of side quests and those blasted H4 missions turned me so much off that I found leveling painful in the end. And I was never interested in typical MMO endgame stuff like flashpoints, raiding and general group content. So the 12x boost keeps me loyal to SWTOR for a much longer time than ever before. I love being able to play through all class stories and leveling any sub-class I want without all that endless questing. This will keep me subscribing at least until fall. If the 12x event stops by then, I may very well be gone again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InAMirrorDarkly Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 In my experience groupfinder queues are popping as fast or faster than they did before and there are at least as many if not more people looking to group for heroics. All in all, 12x seems to have made group content better rather than worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
