Hyper EXP

So 500 exp would be (500 + (500/2) ) x12 which give 9000 exp per kill which is still insane. But, only for an hr. Say you kill one mob every 30 seconds (lil slow but hey, including time moving to a mob, spawns, etc). so 2 kills a minute.
120 kills an hr. at 9k exp, that's already 1.08 mil exp. Not too shabby for just 1 hr of grind.

Of course at higher lvls this just means something like 1/10 of your total lvl but hey, MUCH better than other alternatives...

3rd Map Grinding = 40-45 mobs killed every 2 minutes. By a BM... solo. That's 1200 mobs (conservatively). That's 10.8m exp per hour for me, not including the 6-10 increased stat mobs you get every batch. So that + dalies makes lvl 100-101 about 5-6 days.

done. <- my word of the day

As a BM, I can round up 40-45 mobs ever 2 minutes. So that is only 5 days from 100-101 including CS and WQ, not including Cube or MQ. WQ + CS = 680k xp at lvl 100. So that would only be about 3 weeks for lvl 101-102.

Something fishy is going on with PWI. Perhaps the unique new user rate has dropped so low that their only real goal is to get everyone to end game to spend a ton of money before calling it quits.

There really isn't much game left here, otherwise the rush to finish everyone wouldn't be so important, imo.

maybe you are on to something here. i was thinking hit lvl 100 then do Nirvana but now that stuff is in packs so no need to do the instance. also heard the lvl 100+ bh 's are not worth the rewards. so not really sure what the point of playing is after lvl 100. as i was thinking this to myself, someone in my bh party said it. the rest of the party said they were thinking the same. sad to see so many people plan on quitting in a lvl or two.

In all honesty I'm a little uncertain about this hyper EXP thing, but if it works I think it'll be interesting to see how it turns out.

Once it's released I may try it myself just to see if it is worth it. But until I see how this is going to work, I'm going to stay semi-optimistic but skeptical.

i have tried to think positive for over a year now. just wait and see what happens because there is no way it can get worse. yet every single update seems to give credit card sliders a better advantage. no offense to people who do cash shop, i just don't think that EVERYTHING should be buyable. if this hyper exp works as previously stated, then that will probably be a good time for me to walk away from PWI. oh wait, i did get that spiffy anni mount for sticking around a year b:cry

They are stones that increase your exp.

Currently not implemented but there's some info in game where you can stack 5 of these stones from the cash shop for 12 times the exp however it only lasts 1 hour, after which 3 hours are normal exp followed by 20hours of 10% less exp.

They can stack with other exp methods i.e exp scrolls which means +1300% exp if additive or +2400% if multiplicative.

this kinda sucks tho....

They used to be worthwhile. But with removal of Socket Stones (the cash shop item) and replacement of Sack of ****... I mean Sack of Observation, its a high chance of getting something you don't even need or could put to use. The only thing I still find nice from BH100 is the Ecstasy cards.

IF you get them....most of the time it is the Sack's O' **** (Observation)...tbh I just sell the subs and the eyes b:surrender

no it doesn't...grind for a bit, stick tail out "buy my oracles/shards/whatever" while i sleep

your a hibernating hamster so easy for you

It beats oracles and in fact makes it look stupid.

You can AoE packs of mobs for the normal 500exp/mob which becomes 12,000exp each (or 6500, but let's go with 24x for now)

If you take on 10 a time, that's 120k exp in 20seconds (inc. luring).

If you can do 1000 mobs at 3rd map an hour, that's 12 million exp! I don't know about you, but 12million exp followed by dailies which I assume are not affected by hyper stones a day is ridiculous. That's only 1 week from 100 to 101, and 3 weeks from 101-102 just grinding 1 hour a day. How long have people been stuck at 101 and 102? b:surrender

This beats oracles, but oracles are available all day while these are burst/spike exp which is good for busy people who have 1-2hours a day to play games and work.

edit, I meant 100-101 not 99-100.

So, whats ^ this plus the massive amount of BH's you can do over a couple of hours? (If you are even able to find a squad for a BH's) b:shocked

Also, what will happen to all the NonCashShopers out there? Will they all leave PWI because of the fact that prices of everything will go up and they won't be able to buy anything?

Since, I'm one of those people that don't use the cash shop it would be extremely difficult for me and all the other people that don't use the Cash Shop will have even a harder time buying stuff they need from the Cat Shops? b:surrender

It kind of seems like between this and the two weeks coming up, the game is about to break I can't see a way for this feature to work without causing gold to permanently skyrocket (even more than it has since the 100k days), and if that's the case the game won't be any fun for those who can't afford to use real money often.

In short I think it sums it up nicely that this is becoming akin to private servers due to the crazy exp gains that are about to be implemented (Hyper exp, 2x exp etc).

That's what I try to do too, it's always better not to assume too much before you see it for yourself b:victory

b:chuckle I'd hate to be spoons right now. All the PO'ed people he has to read through. He's probably thinking, "Why oh why did they have to do this to me again? wasn't the ani packs enough? QQ."

I think im just going to enjoy the game for what it is and try ignore all that goes on around me. Im really in no hurry to reach lvl 100. That just means illl have to spend more money to refine the next set of gears. Now they think i should spend money judt to level faster to spend even more money. I dont think so.

My advice is to you is to just do the same. If you enjoy the game, play it, and pretend the cash shop doesn't exist. Ignore how people lvl around you and play at your pace.

I agree, but good luck getting people to listen...they'll be too busy listening to the sound of their wallets being emptied.

this is simply a lazy solution to help people get to 105

my condolences to those who wasted time getting to 102

troll..if ya dont have time for the game to play it right...dude go play a fps or something.Cause im lvl 95..have afulltime job,kids..blah blah blah..and tada!!! i grinded my way the good ole fashion way..

I spend money on mp charm(wich i dont need),plusing gear,and if i wanna be lazy ill sel lgold for those hard to get tt mats(the rare ones)

I dont think that is trolling as she stated we need a little more balance between the two.
I personally fall into the last catagory as well now (i used to have alot more free time and was more in the first section) though my spending is not huge it would be no different then going out to eat a couple times or going to the movies a couple times a month. I just choose to spend my enertainment money in pw and stay home. My bf is across sea's when he is home we spend our enertainment money on said things but I rather not do them without him b:surrender

People who play 24/7 will also be using that feature , don't you think? Thus, folks who play couple of hours at a time will still be behind. b:chuckle

Those people who play 24/7 will be hurt by the 20 hours of vastly reduced XP that follow up the boost.

The more casual players will be logged out and in real life during that time.

I'm really not looking forward to this lol.

I already waste most of my time completing 3 bounty hunter quests instead of the 1, so I'm way behind on quests as it is.

We're going to be getting that 2x exp for 2 weeks soon anyhow, isn't that enough of a boost?

Did the crazy stones run cold? What happened to grinding? It's practically nonexistent.

I understand that the psychology of a video game is to reward one for doing well (i.e. gaining a level when obtaining enough experience), but now one has to hardly do ANYTHING to get rewarded.

I'm not so much complaining about all of these alternate options to gaining experience and all, it's more or less that the game simply isn't as challenging anymore. I love it, and I've spent at least $200 within the last year on it, but... I'm starting to feel a little overwhelmed with all of these options.

Like someone said before, it's nice if you can't play all the time and it's a boost for you to keep up with your friends who play 24/7, but if you think about it... I'm sure the players that do play 24/7 will still be using this feature and you'll still be way behind them anyway (not that's super important, I just wanted to point that out).

Edit: And I agree with risinginson. Making this an event and not a daily feature would be more promising, or at least in the direction I would hope to strive for.
