Can it be done as a group, you know for the fun of it? Currently I can't run STF's because ISA is full of nubs and trolls, ISN has no point for it's rewards, ISE is impossible unless you are sarcasmdetector and his mates...
BTW just insert the correct STF name instead of IS, it's just an easier way to say it.
Oh and if you do try it as a group, do you get the same amount of XP as you would solo? Or have they done the same as the Aussie government and made it illegal for more than 3 people to be together in a public place...
Chris Robert's on SC:
"You don't have to do something again and again and again repetitive that doesn't have much challange, that's just a general good gameplay thing."
I honestly think the Tau Dewa Nerf had more to do with players not using DR Content to level than DAngelo is willing to admit.
They had more people lingering and leveling in Japori then all of DQ. That just didnt look good for their PWE Overlords when they go to give a progress report. The fact that it took them until DR released to realize there was some broken mechanic in Tau Dewa. I call bull****. Someone a long the way would have discovered that vague exploit DAngelo mentioned long before DR and theyd have been able to see it was there.
Im really unsure if theyll bother to nerf the Argala Advance Queues unless they believe itll hurt their bottomline.
You're absolutely right! Besides, Argala isn't even in Tau Dewa: it's in the Delta Quadrant!
Okay, then, for crying out-load, I'd like dev confirmation that patrolling Argala, solo, is not an exploit.
^^ Devs rarely, if ever, respond, I realize that. But let the record show that I *did* ask, in public, about whether or not running patrols in Argala is an exploit.

Soon enough the game will be dead and none of it will matter :rolleyes:

I no longer do any Bug Hunting work for Cryptic. I may resume if a serious attempt to fix the game is made.
So has anyone run into anything thats a good XP source for running solo? I mean teams can be nice sometimes, but its getting to the point that one can't go the bathroom without five people.
dAngelo said, if its too good to be true, ist an exploit. so this is one.
Here's a new one. Winning a lock box scam is an exploit. Because it's too good to be true when you pull that prized ship.

-I am one of the many victims from the hijacked Caspian Division.
I will not let the childish acts of a criminal ruin this game for me.
-The actions of Cryptic, on the other hand......
LMAO, it's still gonna take 10 hours per level with breaks, that's about 80 hours to get to 60 not counting anything else, I think they'll be happy with that.
Wait... you can still get to Level 60?! That HAS to be an Exploit!

Wait, wut?! If it takes you 10 hours per level, then you're doing it wrong! In fact, no offense, but I'm beginning to suspect it's people like YOU that caused D'Angelo to say we went 17x faster than people elsewhere, and were therefore exploiters!
I really feel sorry for the OP, posting useful (albeit old) info to help people having trouble (or just complaining about) leveling and it degenerates in to yet another "look out, they'll take you points away hurr hurr hurrr"
5k is a respectable and non-exploitive reward for the amount of work done, if you want to lvl without doing anything stick to doffing :cool:

I don't think the OP will really feel offended. In fact, the situation is indeed quite laughable. But not because ppl unreasonably think their skillpoints might be taken away, but... because it already happened.

really? when......ohhhh I see what you did there, that's so cute
really? when......ohhhh I see what you did there, that's so cute
I did wut?! All I meant to say is, that, heretofore, the notion is Cryptic deeming patrolling an 'exploit' would have been laughable. Until one day it happened. So, now, not so sure any more. There was a guy posting somewhere it takes him 8 hours for 1 level. And then I'm secretly thinking "OMG! Are we gonna be branded 'exploiters' again?! Cuz 1 level takes me about 5x less time."
OP, a word of advice from someone who has been burned for doing exactly what you ar enot (trying ot be helpful) - if/when Cryptic nerfs this and calls it an exploit, better don your asbestos suit cause the fames will roar...

And THAT is the insanity of the whole deal.
accept it really didn't happen, and if after all this time you still think that it did you are either grossly misinformed or hoplessly delutional
This really is the most time efficient way of earning skill points, just like the battle zones are the most time efficient way to earn dilithium. The skill earned in the battle zones, by the way, is laughable.
Argala on advanced takes about 8 minutes, give or take a minute or two depending on whether it is Kazon, Hirogen, or Malon. Elite takes more than double the time to complete, with maybe 110-120 XP more per ship.

That's a TRIBBLE-poor definition of "exploit."
zomg you just exploited the forum by posting! :eek:

yeah something. I played all day today and I got a whopping quarter level... I'm not feeling the sense of progress.
I don't think the OP will really feel offended.
