Heckler xp nerfed?

[Vinele]

Well its like Lazy said. We are overdue for new stuff and improvements. There is also a lot of current things, both SL and RK that could be streamlined and improved as well.

[Macrosun]

The Gas level and XP overrides have been set up again and should hopefully come back into effect within the next few hours.

[Rurounin]

This isn't the first time, I remember this happening a couple of years back. All due to some timer that is set that gives twice the amount of XP on shadowlands monsters, it was set for the "lifetime" of AO or something, so it ran out. Funny thing! :P

There's more to life than hecklers! I got my crat to 200 and had to farm guardian faction because I hadn't done any hecklers and had 2,500 guardian. Of course, it probably took a week instead of those "pay 500m and get 200 in a day" people.

Dailies + RK missions + other SL mob killings = more fun than afking

Depends on what you're doing while afking, doesn't it?

This is true but if you're having fun while being afk-leveled it most likely means that something else means more pleasure to you and an integral part of the game (leveling) does not give you any pleasure which is - in my humble opinion - indeed a flaw in GAME design.

yes.

there's about a million things i'd rather do than level a new toon. if i can afk on kite hill it means i can duallog and run some battle stations on my 2nd acct.

Not necessarily.

I don't understand why they don't fix hecklers so that they run away when being attacked by too high players, like ALL other mobs except bosses.

Well Hecklers is just dumb as rocks... so what did you expect ?

[raw_fox]

Yes, it was a 10 year timer maybe ... towers fields that were not buildable suddenly openned, etc.

Glad it is being fixed ...

Thanks for the fix guys. This gives me motivation to make a new toon thats for sure.

[Rikaria]

woot about time, now players have to relearn the concept of teaming (terrifying concept)

xD

2,500 faction and you couldn't even get to Scheol iirc. You'll be killing pretty boring SL mobs till 200 then.

OMG... Noohes! Don't give sl mobs double xp! No no no! Give RK mobs double xp instead.

[Leetlover]

The faction-grind is so silly.

This doesn't stop people doing hecklers who:
All this does is annoy people and drive them away from creating more tl5s or tl7s.

nah, players need to level on stuff that produce usefull loot so.

I think hecks is what makes this game lose players, as I assume people want to choose a profession that appeals to them and then go and perform the functions of the profession in a mmo-environment...IE, in a team.

With hecks (no loot or diversity here) being THE xp-source people is driven away from making TL5 or TL7 cause they would have to first grind xp (hecks) and then grind items (alone or log soldier/doc/crat to get lootrights) and then grind credatz and then grind tokens etc...rk-missions have both xp, tokens and loot...both profession-specific and generic-loot.

Assumed wrong I'm here to **** scrubs with the most OPd toon available.

What's stopping you doing rk missions, now, for that loot? Relating both the removal of hecks and the need to hire the treblesome pvm trio really is lol. You do realise what rk missions actually drop, right?

Everyone is doing hecks and dailies. Not wanna play alone.

Nano-repetoir etc...IE, the functions of the profession. After hecks people just have a med-suit, no real experience or credz/gear. Team-dailies with heck-xp, tokens and a ton of loot would be better imo.
