But I think the mission XP stays at true level, meaning you'll continue to progress. Even under 12x, We would reach a point where we were not really leveling until the story caught up to our level. I'm actually interested to see what my played time is.rowanblazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820814610269599162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765136501328523372.post-23150661476087821872016-01-19T11:24:01.755-06:002016-01-19T11:24:01.755-06:00It does have a /played function.

But that was, like you, in a party, thought mine was a party of three so everything took us even longer! But with these changes and soloing a character, I'm hoping they got the number way down. <br /><br />Its not quite a true level calculation but a relative one. For example on DK you are set to level 18. Kill level 13's and you will get XP for killing a creature five levels lower than you, which is basically nothing. So you still have to find "level-appropriate" challenges in some sense.<br />I'm not knocking the process though, its what has made it possible for my family to game together again. That and the companion changes are such no brainers I wonder why they are not standard MMO features by now!

Raptr tells me I regularly play over 20 hours per week, but not all of that is actual questing (GTN shopping, house decorating, etc.), or even on the same toon (I have soloists for when Scooter isn't available). Since I tend to play together with Scooter, we're doing two stories at once, which would be slower than someone soloing their way through (offset somewhat by shorter battles and downtime). Clearly, though, not every planetary mission is absolutely necessary.<br /><br />I think what was missing from BioWare calculus was that kills and quests reward XP at your true level, not at your down level (which is fixed at the maximum possible to get any XP on a given planet). In the past, even with 12x, if you'd out-leveled an area or a quest, you were getting minimal XP. On the new system, we were earning XP at more than ten levels above the actual planet in some cases. To finish Ch. 3 at max level, we made sure to finish Corellia's planet stuff first, then mine (I was ahead by about 50%) then slaughtering everything between us and Scooter's last instance.rowanblazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820814610269599162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765136501328523372.post-24695089834476822622016-01-18T20:23:28.868-06:002016-01-18T20:23:28.868-06:00How long is a play through taking you in actual ga...How long is a play through taking you in actual game hours played? I'm wondering just how much they sped things up. My agent (from before all the changes) has probably 120 hours on him and is sitting at level 53.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765136501328523372.post-70260442897644990342016-01-18T17:33:23.603-06:002016-01-18T17:33:23.603-06:00You're probably right.
