Preview Invoking - No AD

Past level 60 it does not seem to give any raw astral diamonds. Is this intentional? If so, why take it away?

    Have they started giving XP rewards on preview invokes? It was doing neither the last time I was logged in there.

    The thing is that the AD and XP invoke rewards are fixed amounts granted according to character level, so once you level to 61, there were no rewards at all coded beyond the buff (scaled-by but not tied-to level - or should be if not showing as bugged), coins (not tied to level), and maybe a potion (tiered according to minimum level to use).

    I was under the impression they hadn't figured out yet how much it should be, though I'd suggest simply leaving the AD the way it is and maybe increasing the XP slightly (if trying to keep it so the first invoke of the day is equivalent to a quest turn-in at your level).

    It does give XP past level 60, yes.

    Nope, next week, sorry.

    Also, Ph33em3, that joke was bad and you should feel bad. But only a little bit because I still laughed.

    Hmm, I don't seem to be able to invoke on Preview at all. A menu pops up with various options, but all are blank.

    I think a rename may be in order for the last one. Saying that it "contains artifact equipment" can be more than a little misleading, unfortunately. The devil's in the details, after all.

    Mmm, looks like the intent is for different coffers tailored towards upgrading your choice of enchants, artifacts, *or* artifact equipment, but agreed that the name of the latter probably could stand a tweak.

    For the love of Moradin, remove those white rewards from the 7 days coffers.
    Do you understand it's a 7 days straight thing and that it's sadistic to add that chance (no matter how small) to get something useless on top of it? That's like adding insult to injury.
    Please. Be reasonable.

    While you are at it you might consider removing xp gain from invoking or at least cut it in half...

    Hope to see changes to the vault of piety regarding Ardent Favours too!

    Why? That wouldn't improve the game imo. Wouldn't hurt it much, but definitely would in no way be an improvement.

    The invoke system does nothing on the rework. It shows 6 level of invokeing, all 10 sec apart, bur does not show anything for rewards and gives nothing, not rewards, xp, or AD.

    We're not into next week yet. The patch notes says it's still not ready yet.

    I don't see how cutting invoke XP down would really affect the game. At most you're getting two daily quests worth of XP. Hardly worth considering.

    Well i still think it is weird that you can level up a character with daily invocation. Also in my oppinion the lvl process is quite fast allready and doesnt motivate you to do extra content on the way -> invocation xp is at least part of the problem i think.

    For me personally it isnt that relevant - i dont have an "invocation army" and lvld several toons to 60 allready.

    Do you have any idea how slow that would be? I did an experiment with it at one point, I think I got somewhere between 5-10 levels in a couple months, I got bored of the experiment at that point and wanted the prof slots to open so I just leveled him up normally. No one levels via invocation. It's just a nice little bonus especially for overflow xp.

    i do :D i level boring stuff like cleric by invoking and leadership. if profession UI didnt suck so much i would make a few more leadership alts that i would level through invoking

    lvl 50 and a half @ 122 ardent coins

    also it gives some overflow exp for alts i dont have time to play and lvled my Erinyes

    Currently, eight of my characters are leveling purely through invocation and leadership. They're all now between 35-50 from this. Seven other characters of mine have went from level 11 to 60 from just invocation and leadership. This allows me to keep my alts leveling while focusing on my current level 60's. Usually every day, at least one of my non-60's levels up when they invoke for one of the first few invokes for the day.

    This also helps me to keep all my characters companions leveling as well. As well, I often get overflow levels on my current 60's when I do my invokes and professions. Each time I get a new level 60, I make at least one more character and level them to 11 right away, and then set them up on leadership and with altars for invocations by the bank.

    If they were to, which I doubt they would, take away experience from invocation, they would see me no longer buying character slots as much as I do now. For I would just not ever get around to leveling those characters for quite some time, as I wouldn't be getting new level 60's and not be tempted to start another new character.

    Well I'll admit to being wrong then. But I stand by my opinion that it is a horribly inefficient way to level a character that takes far too long.
