    Xp Booster Question...

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    4 hours ago, Hedgefund said:

    Historically on HC, the anniversary has given all players that log in 5 Experienced charges (see https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Paragon_Rewards_Powers#Experienced).  I don't know for sure that's what this anniversary will reward, just stating precedent.

     

    As the link says, it provides 5 bars of patrol xp.  Patrol xp caps at 10 bars so you don't want to just click with no consideration for how much patrol you have accrued.  Personally 4 bars is my threshold, anything more and I wouldn't use a charge.

     

    With regards to stacking, yes it stacks with other bonus xp, it's a 50% addition of base xp, so max of 3.5xp if you're on Indom and have P2W 2xp.  The "how" they stack is

    Base xp + (bonus xp1) + (bonus xp2) +... + (bonus xpN) where N= all sources of bonus xp.

     

    Note for future reference - the mapserver mobs had their base XP increased, they did not award another chunk of bonus xp, so their reward was 20x with p2w 100% boost and 30x on Indom with the additional boost.  I mention this because I've seen this misrepresented by other players saying Mapserve scale10 xp was additive as well.

     

    Edit - the Experienced boosters were awarded to characters I logged in today, so those are already being awarded, don't even need to go test to see them.

     

       Hey, thank you very, very much for this detailed info on Xp Boosters @Hedgefund! This was exactly what I was looking for and hoping to discover, so again thank you very much for your help... 🙂

       And @Luminara, your reply actually confused me a bit until I read @Hedgefund's edit, so yeah now I understand. It was in regards to the Anniversary Xp Booster being released, but as was pointed out, it was released yesterday so no testing needed. Thank you for your input just the same though. 🙂

    Xp Booster Question...

    Sigh... Typo's...

    Ooo, excellent points Glacier, thank you... 🙂

       So the question remains... Which Xp Boosters stack, and with which one's? Do all of them stack with each other, as they are from different sources? Or is it more specific and selective (if that's the accurate word for it)? 🙂
     

    Xp Booster Question...

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Greetings one and all... 🙂

       I have a hopefully quick couple of questions about Xp Boosters, either the one we are getting from the Anniversary event (x5 Xp Booster), the occasion similar one we can get now and then, or even the ones' we can get from the S.T.A.R.T. (or all of these in fact, in regards to the Shards/Servers. 

     

    1) Does the Xp Anniversary Booster we get for the event stack with the ones' we can get from the S.T.A.R.T. vender?

    2) If I am playing on another Shard/Server other than Excelsior (like Indomitable, or Reunion for example), and I use a Xp Anniversary Booster, will it stack with the bonus Xp increase from these Shards/Servers?

    3) If the answer to #2 above is Yes, then what if I also use the Xp boosters from the S.T.A.R.T. vender as well? Will all three stack with each other?

       Basically, using the S.T.A.R.T. vender Booster on these Shards/Servers grant a x3 Xp Boost to your Xp (as the two Boosters stack), but if you add in a Xp Booster from the Anniversary event (for example), will this in turn change it to a x4 total Xp boost instead?

     

       So I am wondering if these types of Boosters stack is all, and how exactly? Thank you in advance for any info you can give folks... 🙂
     

    Possibly Sentinel?!!!?

       You can always choose not to use the other forms you know. Just go Human Warshade all the way is all (or in your case, a Vampire Warshade... Hmmm, come to think of it, that IS an interesting concept...). You can do it!!! 😛

    Possibly Sentinel?!!!?

    in General Discussion

       Hmmm... I honestly did not think a Warshade did all of that via stealing essence. How dependant on enemy's is it (like is a single enemy enough for it)? I think I'm going to have to do a bit more research on the matter here (anyone got a good one or two places to start by chance?).

       And Snarky, those Mids numbers sorta look right to me, though I am no expert. Looking at them though like you listed, sorta makes me wonder why some would rather play a Blaster then a Sentinel (besides the range difference of course, which IS annoying). I mean, with the exception of Blackstar (with it's 55.6 difference), the rest is only a few pts difference. In the long run, sure that can be a factor, but in the mid & short run I wouldn't think so. In either case, I'd be interested in seeing what you wrote as its the basis on what you want to make. Might give me (and us too?) a better idea on what you are shooting for (visually I mean, instead of just Dark, Dark, Dark, and... Dark 😁)...

       Ohhh, and if anyone can come up with a 4th Dark, my bet is on you Snarky... 😉

    I Have no honest Idea.  its like i said it came out of the clear blue left field and left me for the rest of the night really wondering what id done to earn their ire. the person had blocked me actually i should mention as i did try to contact them to find out what was wrong 

     

    still in the end people gonna people

     

       Been there, done that, got the shirt, returned it, had it given back to me, the store closed down, etc... In the end, life and these things happen sadly. Just gotta "try" and shrug it off, and keep moving forward in a positive way is all... 🙂

       And for the record, I too never, ever, put anyone on ignore (even though sometimes it's very tempting). Rather see the bullets coming, know what I mean? 😉

    Wait?  They needed you to block them?  Am I wrong in thinking that if you block someone, you don't see their posts, so why did they need you to bother with it when they could have?

       And I think that sum's up some of the theme of Snarky's post... communication, or lack there in, and "maybe" the brains of the person who is forgetting to do it... 😉

       For me, this is simply... my home away from home. Coming from live as well, I may tend to leave from time to time to go walkabout lol, but in the end, CoH has been, and always will be... Home!

       With the weirdest, best, most unique family of crazies that have ever walked this green Earth of ours. 😁 So to underline this, I present you all with this video link that never ceases to bring both a sad and joyest tear to my eye...

    Hiya Snarky... 🙂

       Read your post here and at first I was like, "Holy Dracula Batman! Snarky made a non-Vampire character?!?" But then reading further, it all just made me smile and happy that you finally made such a character that you really like. 🙂 I do have a tiny suggestion though, if you like...
       Make another skin/look for the character; one that is a Vampire (or even a Vampire/Demon combo), change all the fire power effects to DARK, and bang... You got another soul sucking (and burning) Vampire from hell. 😁
       Just a simple suggestion... 🙂

    NCSOFT & Homecoming License Announcement

    in Announcements

    Posted

    And this is the very reason why I asked what the time frame was in the licence in the first place. 🙂
       For while you do make a bit of a valid point @Blackbird71, one has to remember that all licence agreements have a set time frame in which it is legally active, after which both parties would have to renegotiate it again, or just "resign" and renew it. After this time frame has passed, both parties have the option to not resign, so in theory HC would have the option at that time to just go their own way without any "legal action taken" against them, bringing things full circle again before the licence was signed in the first place.

       Also, if I recall correctly, in most licence agreements there are clauses added to it that allow for either party to pull out of the agreement for any reason as well. Yes, this would involve a money transfer (right?) for the "Buyout" clause, but it would be there I would think. So there are options on either side set up I am sure to get out of the agreement, but that does not mean that such option(s) would be implemented. So overall I feel that this licence is a good thing as most do protect both parties involve, IF handled right, so in the end I think that HC is safe from being shut down "legally" anytime soon at all. 🙂

       Of course, since none of us have read the licence per saw at all, in the end we are all guessing here as the HC team has not told us anything "specific" about it (like what the time frame of the contract is for example), so as far as we are concerned, this can be perceived as a schrodinger's cat paradox. But the odds are HC is safe for now... 😉

    Thank you @GM Kaiju... 🙂

       So here is a on topic question I do not believe has been asked yet (Sorry if it was though). How long is this licence good for exactly?

       I do not know if this question can be answered officially or not (probably not), and I certainly don't know anything about such agreements, but it would be interesting to know. Like if it was only for 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, etc.

     

    Thank you... 🙂
