Tip For Levelling Alts

[Deleted]

Well, it got me through Northend, Cataclysm and Pandaria so I am grateful. Too bad they made them pretty much useless now. They could have also dealt with AFKing by activating PVP scaling. At one point I simply stopped participating because I got tired of getting AoE'd or intentionally focused by enemies.

4 hours, 3x 55k 1x 88k, 2 invasions
2 hours, 15k 30k 22k 44k, 3 invasions

from what i remember and what im seeing now

if they wouldve left the exp unchanged it would be retarded, especially if its opposite faction dominated you can already do whatever while idling there

You can now make the same amount every 2h as you used to every 4h still (3inv2hr same XP as 2inv4hr)

No, it's not. It is still a nerf if my head calculus is correct.

You must've slept during math classes then. lol

You can now make the same amount every 2h as you used to every 4h still (3inv2hr same XP as 2inv4hr)

Yet still make more doing dungeons as per usual in that time. Even with 2 every 4 hours, you made enough XP plus dungeon fillers to level ridiculously fast, now no reason to do invasions, just less XP than dungeons for a lot of wait time.

4 hours, 3x 55k 1x 88k, 2 invasions ~506k
2 hours, 15k 30k 22k 44k, 3 invasions ~666k (lol)

from what i remember and what im seeing now

if they wouldve left the exp unchanged it would be retarded, especially if its opposite faction dominated you can already do whatever while idling there

more effort (well, flying around), more loot (chances for warforged and weapon upgrades now) and actually more exp for that effort

Math wont change that people are back doing dungeons now. More EXP/hour.

Yeah, I'd rather have the 2 inv every 4hr with the old XP and doing dungeons in between than this, since you can make the same amount of XP in the 15 mins you AFK by doing dungeons

Check your math. In 2 hours now you can get ~330k, compared to the ~500k you got before over 4 hours.

[darklogrus]

Xp is the same, but the time per Xp has jumped by 3x...

[Noxina]

Guess it was too good to last. We can't have good things now, can we?

[giniyo]

yeah, basically TL;DR: more effort (visit 6 invasions within 4 hours), more loot (12! chests per 4 hour instead of 4) and slightly more exp if you do all of them

The XP is buffed. L2Math.

The total XP is a bit higher, however the effort to do so has dramatically increased. You have to clear more invasions, however more invasions mean people are more spread out, which means invasions will be completing slower. Moreover, with the excess effort for less reward per invasion, chances are that the people leveling alts that were actually contributing will just be more inclined to go afk now.

Don't forget all the additional travel time, which is considerable for some of the really remote locations.

For those leveling multiple chars it is definitely a nerf

Ok I'll use numbers from that post

Before the invasion exp nerf; the following experience rewards were given for a level 87 with heirlooms (the exp ramp scales accordingly).
Total Experience: 339588
Two Invasions / 4 hours = 679176xp / 4 hours

After the "nerf":
Total Experience: 141447
Three Invasions / 2 hours = 424341
Six Invasions / 4 hours = 848621xp

Now let's do some extra math. Every invasion takes about 15 minutes.

Before the nerf you get 679176xp for 15*2 mins of "work". That's about 1,7M XP per hour.

After you get 848621xp for 15*6 mins of "work". That's about 570k XP per hour.

L2Math indeed.

Also a nerf to using the various XP potions, since their cost just went up about 3x for the same benefit as you were getting before.

Spent the 4 hours doing the two invasions with 5 alts each.
Now you can do 6 invasions with one alt and 2-4 more with another during the same time, that's roughly 65% less exp than before.

Indeed, L2Math.

Also moving around as a low level is a pain in the ass. Getting to 3 locations as a low level takes for ever.

Hey all,

We see that this has been noticed already, but for more clarity - the frequency of invasions has been tripled, and you will have more invasions to participate in throughout the day. To compensate for this, we have reduced XP awarded for each individual invasion.

Remember that as we move closer to the launch of Legion, you can expect an increased Legion presence in both numbers and cadence as their invasion grows stronger.

See you on the battlefield!

Doesn't matter how much XP there is, if the progress bar doesn't move.

How's participation compared to yesterday?
