XP boost at the moment is huge

We certainly got a huge XP bonus for this week.

Rerolled my AoY two days ago, took my time designing the look & feel before starting the 25c story arc. Just finished "Night of the Comet"....and hit level 41 B) . On the upside, get to fly my Excelsior Retrofit T5U from now, which I think is appropriate. Looking to get the Chronos at the very end.

As an after thought, I'm glad I did not buy the AoY pack (which I considered) because at this leveling rate (21k ish xp = 2-3 level ups / mission) I would have only used each ship in 3-4 missions and moved on to next one.

    Nice to share your progress OP, and yea you are right, XP progression is at warp speed right now. I hit level 60 yesterday and still seem to have more than half of the story contend to do. :)

    I think I make the best of it this week and hit one episode after the other to start filling spec trees while grabbing rep marks from those probes. Doff and Admiralty systems are also a massive asset.

    The problem is I could get used to the level of xp we're earning atm :)
    Oh, it's not broken? We can soon fix that!

    I should dust of my Klingon Delta too, idling somewhere level 18ish at Drozana. Kick that up a couple of dozen levels easy.

    I know I'm probably in the minority here but for me I do not like the xp boosts or any xp boosts for any online game. I stopped playing once I got to the 25th century ESD on my AoY character at level 10 and I am currently waiting for the xp boost to end and I'm playing my 60 federation officer till then.

    That is true. Breaks the progression curve, and you might not want that to happen on a story driven arc.
  • darkenviousdarkenvious Member Posts: 66 Arc User
    true but then again even with the xp boost you can still go through the story no problems, and I know I shouldn't be having any problems with xp boost and should be happy to speed through the missions etc but at last as far back as I can remember I have always had a problem, I guess its one of those weird things to complain about

    Yeah, the XP bonus boost allowed me to advance to level 52 last night by the time I finished "Taris" in the Romulan mystery story arc. Personally, I do not mind. But I know there are players who are going to be at level 60 by the time they get to "A Step Between Stars" in the Solanae Dyson Sphere story arc, and they may run into difficulty.

    In that mission you are forced to fly the T5 Dyson science ship against Voth and Undine ships at the highest difficulty level on normal since captains will be level 60 and enemies starts to scale up after player pass level 50.

    This mission is definitely doable, since I have replayed that mission several times on many of my level 60 captains. It just takes longer to kill enemies compared to playing that mission before DR was launched back in late 2014 when max level was 50.

    I'm at 46 and just finished the ultimate klingon. Probably hit 60 by the end of the Klingon war.

    Indeed, my AoY toon is 56 and just started the Cardassian/DS9 story. Already own the Chronos, but working on ship mastery, just got mastery on my T6 vet ship, working on Mastery on T6 Gal-X, also want mastery on the Breen carrier and dread/cruiser at least, and then I will settle into my Chronos.
