Cinnder Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 As far as I understand it, the number of characters in a zone don't toggle an invasion, they just determine what level mobs will appear. I was on yesterday when there were only two characters in Talos and I got minion spawns on me until the invasion passed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind shenanigans. It's when it hits the point where anything I do is not contributing that I leave. At least my base macro button still worked. I'll look into it.

Ukase Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 14 hours ago, The Caretaker said: That is not part of the event. Lag cannot be replicated like that casually. It's possible that enemy density or fx had an effect on your client. Shhh...don't tell them. You must pretend that you worked tirelessly for hours on end to replicate this effect! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocktacular Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Please, please tell me that this enemy group will be available for use in AE (without the x10 xp, obviously). I'm already getting a bunch of ideas.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glacier Peak Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Just now, Krimson said: Since when does Repel render your button bar inoperable? Anyhow, point is moot. Event will be over in a few days and I'll forget it exists. The GM has a Mag 1000 stun that lasts 8 seconds. You wouldn't be able to press any buttons during this time either.

LKN-351 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 21 hours ago, Krimson said: I just attempted this and my button bar got lagged to the point that I couldn't use it, so I left and as if by magic, the lag went away. Then I was informed that the lag and button bar shenanigans are part of the event. Heh.. No thanks. It seems like I may have had a similar issue to what you're describing. I couldn't get my powers to fire off for the majority of the event even though there was an enemy targeted. I did happen to notice that a lot of the time I was getting an "invalid target" message over my character even though I could see the enemy and the target reticule. Part of that has to do with whatever the mechanic is that keeps you from being able to fire on something for a few seconds that just spawned in during any zone event. It did seem a bit excessive on this event specifically though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BraveDecoy Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Does anyone have a collection of images and descriptions for the event critters? I'd love to see them but every single invasion I've been in on has devolved into such a massive cluster@&@# that I have to target through some random league pet to even shoot at things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turric Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 The 10x xp is great. Got some vet levels on those toons I do not play much anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bustacap Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I had a new 50 prior to the event. 3 events in a row and he had all Incarnates unlocked and vet level 10 to tier 3 everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutter Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Anyone know if the 10x xp stacks with p2w xp boosts? Or does it override? Or (hopefully not) is it in effect only if no p2w boosts are? @Cutter So many alts, so little time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ukase Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 I didn't do the math myself, not my forte. But, someone in league was saying that (paraphrased) Normal XP X 2XP X + X 10xXP ,plus the double of the base XP would be 11XP. So, seems to me - losing the inf from the 2xp buff when you can get 10xp and the inf that goes with that...lose the 2xp buff during the event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally unscientific, and of course variables such as team comp affecting xp & such, but... Yesterday I ran a fresh level 1 with 2x boost through one event. That one ended at L27 with 0 Inf. After posting this question tonight, I rolled up a new guy with no xp boost, and ran him through one event. That one ended just a hair shy of L16 with about 70k Inf. That suggests that the 2x boost actually doubles from 10x event to 20x event. Obviously needs corroboration. But sure seems like running without the boost is a poor choice. EDIT Ran another newb with 2xp through an event-in-progress (it was starting just as the last one I was in ended before I made this original comment, so I got in maybe 4-5 minutes after start -- post-GM at any rate). Ended a couple bubs shy of L27. 10x event and 2x P2W reeeaaallly looks to multiply to 20x. Edited April 4, 2022 by Cutter Data! @Cutter So many alts, so little time...

I'm already getting a bunch of ideas.... Hell, we've been asking for new Lore pets... these would work great for that. I had a lot of lag from the event as well, but then again, there were not one one but two leagues in Skyway when I did it tonight, so that's no doubt the problem. Also had a lot of trouble with my buttons, but since I was on a Def, I was able to get by with rockin' a few auras and button-mashing until I got past that "foes zoning in that you can target but can't actually shoot at yet" problem. Sort of reminded my of a heavily-attended MSR from the bad old days when my rig wasn't enough to handle full graphics. Still was fun enough though. I just wish it didn't literally fall on every day of my work week. I suggest in future setting these for at least one week in length. 1 _____________________________ Hi, I'm Clave Dark 5!

Tacheyon Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 After the Tuesday maintenance. Y'all .....got some of that 10xp around.... Getting several levels and/or unlocking Hybrid from like 50% Interface in one Invasion is quite addicting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgefund Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 These are mobs with 10x scale xp, which let's assume means 10x the normal xp. That's not bonus xp like experienced or the 2x booster, that's the mobs xp, so 2x that is, well 2x that mobs xp. No need to be theoretical about it. I took a lowbie, level 33, all by himself and defeated a minion. There were no other players around to affect the enemy's hp. I earned 2500 xp. I then deleted the 2xp booster, another minion appeared and I defeated it - 1250 xp. Therefore, 2xp booster double the xp. If the booster were additive, making it 10X + X then the xp after deleting the booster would have been 2272 (or 2273 depending on how rounding is done). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
