SteveColoSp Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 So since today is bonus for chapters I decided to run a few. I ran KOTFE Chap I: The Hunt on story first just to breeze through it since it was worth 1520 cxp. Five minutes and done. Too easy. So I decided to run Vet mode. Still 1520 cxp and still item rating 190 gear. So I checked Master mode. Same thing. Tell me Bioware, where is the incentive to run this old crap at a higher difficulty?

AmadanNaBrona Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Higher difficulty give higher cxp, but also takes longer. Personally i've found VET to be my sweet spot of cxp/minute on chapters. For me , the VET level barely take longer at all while give a great deal more than Story. For me the increased time and cxp of Master make the ratio still better than Story, but not as good as Veteran. It all boils down to cxp/minute. Of course the Crates are still Crap, so...

SteveColoSp Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 How is it more CXP if the mission log still says it's 1520? Or is that some mistake and it's actually more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmadanNaBrona Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I'm on lunch at work, and not in game, so I don't have any numbers in front of me, but higher levels have (at least prior to 5.1.1) given higher cxp. I'll grant that something may have changed on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zasszz Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 If a player has no problem running at higher difficulties and the chapters offer bonus CXP, with the event and bonus CXP buff this is very rewarding for CXP/h farmers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinybdmc Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) I ran Kotfe Chapter 2 last night on Vet and Master, CXP I got on Vet was 2750 and master 3750. Dont know why you are only getting 1500 on all three. Also I timed them master mode took 11 mins and vet took 9 so I thought master was more then worth the extra 2 mins, but that is with me being range and able to kite the last boss while Valkorian heals me.

HelinCarnate Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Its incorrect on the mission log. Master mode (without bonus cxp of any kind) normally give 1000. So during the event, without bonuses you get 3500 instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurj Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Veteran and Master Mode should drop UCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmadanNaBrona Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 just ran a test on Chapter 2 which concurs with a previous poster, the Mission log is buggy Story Mode: Mission said: 1520 Mission rewarded: 1520 Time: 7:50 CXP/Min 194 Veteran Mode: Mission said: 1520 Mission rewarded: 2565 Time: 9:34 CXP/Min 268 Master Mode: Mission said: 1520 Mission rewarded: 3800 Time: 14:10 CXP/Min 268 (I must be getting better, same rate as Veteran now, whereas it used to be worse for me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveColoSp Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 OK thanks for the replies. That's what I sort of figured was that it was a glitch or bug in the mission log showing the same reward on all difficulties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shame it's not like that all the time lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli_Porter Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Way too rewarding IMO. This is with all bonuses: http://i.imgur.com/DWDqf1X.jpg and takes me 7 minutes per run. Feels like I'm being heavily encouraged to run this over and over because other content can't compete for rewards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players will play how it suits them, if that means going for the highest rewards they will. Personally when I run story mode - I do it for the story so I don't skip cut scenes, I watch them. It's all about the story for me. I can never do a full chapter in 7 minutes by playing the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like I'm being heavily encouraged to run this over and over because other content can't compete for rewards. Even though I regularly farm that I would still have to agree. The rewards for the fast chapters are exactly the same as the rewards for the chapters that take much much longer. Chapter 1 and 2 should probably be reduced and the other chapter rewards increased to allow for roughly the same rewards for time spent. However they should not be looking at those of us that repeatedly run the same chapters over and over to get an average time as we tend to throw off the curve.

However they should not be looking at those of us that repeatedly run the same chapters over and over to get an average time as we tend to throw off the curve. That could be solved with a timer - no CXP for repeating a chapter quest sooner than say every 30 minutes or something. Forcing people into other chapters instead of being able to repeat the same ones over.. Those early chapters are not fast at all if you watch the cut scenes because they are very very story heavy. Some of those cut scenes alone run for like 10 minutes or so each. Then those who are actually playing it for the story, aren't gimped on rewards.

I'm getting over 3000 CXP per chapter when i run with a toon that has the DS/LS winning faction on veteran now this also means I have full legacy unlocks + running a booster but hey 3000+ CXP hell yeah that's a golden deal right there for me.
