1/2 Half XP Option

[Juggerobb]

Early Game leveling - especially when playing in a team - is entirely too fast. I'm often out-leveling contacts faster than I can complete their mission arc.  I am aware that there is an option to turn off XP gain. However, this is not a rewarding gameplay experience. I suggest creating a "buff" that allows for only 1/2 xp gain (similar to the 2x xp gain at the Start Vendors).

... yep. Would love it.

Any idea how long double xp is supposed to last? Want to know how long to avoid the game.

Supposed to run until Tuesday, from what I understand. Probably turn off with the Tuesday maintenance.

Unfortunately, Cipher's post on the Discord states "We've also enabled Double XP on all shards until at least Tuesday (duration TBD)." so the actual duration may be longer.

I still want an "I don't want to go past level X" option

You misunderstood.

It wasn’t turned on for 3 days - it was turned on for 3 days of playing time.  🤭

Hide for as long as you like, for it will be there for you upon your return. 😈😈

 

Instead of being emotional and punishing yourself, why not just turn off your XP?

Because there is a floor plan I am working on and a few other games I can play that I enjoy for that time instead. And if I feel like I don't want to wait that long after all, I will. Until my desire to play overcomes my hatred of attempts to shove xp down my throat though, I'm going to be taking a pause on playing.

For those wanting to turn off XP for their Toon (like most times running a Completionist Toon), I suggest this macro:

/macro oXP "optiontoggle noxp"

But aren’t you now just piling up PatrolXP ?

Yes. On every one of my characters in the game. Nothing I can do about that.
