lol @ triple xp + zolo

Zolo is nerfed.

Welcome to last week.

Besides that, you wouldn't get triple XP anyway. Boosting means one character sees gray mobs. If either character sees gray mobs, there is no 3x XP.

Dual-Boxing and Quad-Boxing will be insane with this. Wow I'd be going hardcore on some warlocks/priests/... everything right now if I had this. Holy Crapola!

Don't overlook this:

"Do normal experience rules apply?

Yes, if a monster is trivial to either player, no experience boost is given."

So no boosting with a high lvl.

/facepalm
My reply is to the very post above mine which says Zolo is nerfed, I hit reply instead of quote.

Aside from that, like there's any way I [url='http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=94952&highlight=#post 94952']don't already know[/url] about it?


Why all the hate?

W.R.T boosting with a 70 + low level alts.

-- relevant portions of the Blizzard support article --
Criterion 1: What in-game benefits do we get while the accounts we play are linked?
2. While adventuring with your linked friend/family member, you will each gain triple experience.

Criterion 2: Do I always gain triple experience while I am linked to my recruit?
No, only when you are partied with a character on the linked account and both players are present when slaying the monster or completing the quest. Also, if the two characters are not the same level, only the lower-level character is given the experience boost.

Criterion 3: Do normal experience rules apply?
Yes, if a monster is trivial to either player, no experience boost is given.

-- relevant portions of the Blizzard support article --


Scenario:
Account 1 has a 70. Account 2 has a level 20, Account 3 also has a level 20 and is linked to Account 2 via refer-a-friend. The L70 and 2 L20s go to SM and kill some L38 mobs.

Criterion 1 : Are the linked accounts adventuring together? YES.
Criterion 2 : Are both the linked accounts present when slaying a monster? YES. Are both the linked accounts playing characters the same level? YES.
Criterion 3 : Is the monster grey con to either player? To this question, I say NO, since it's clear to me that every other question so far that refers to either/both/two/etc is only referring to the two linked characters. Since a L38 mob does not con grey to a L20 then the XP would be tripled.

See also this point:
Is quest experience tripled too?
Yes, but only if the quest was not trivial (gray difficulty) for either character.

If I take my 70 and help the L20's complete a quest, do they get an XP boost? Yes, because the quest does not con grey to *either* character - meaning, the two linked characters.

I just got my 3 newer accounts less than a month ago, 2 of them got linked up properly, 1 got lost in the mix. I just got off the phone with Blizzard and it seems like they won't do anything about it after the fact.

They won't do anything about the one that "got lost in the mix" or they won't do anything about any of your accounts because it was before this change?

3 of my 5 accounts are linked up in some way. 2 of them are SoL according to the guy on the phone, but I don't try very hard. Just bummed because 2 of the accounts are not going to be able to keep up. Oh well.

The high level + 2 low level linked character boosting topic has been tenatively answered by Syndri

Going back to this:

Q u o t e:
Question #1:

Account1: lvl 70
Account2: lvl1
Account3: lvl1

Account2 recruits Account3. Account1 groups with 2 and 3, running them through low level instances. Do 2 and 3 get increased XP? The wording of the faq says the mobs must not be grey to the invitee nor the invited, but does not mention whether an unrelated 3rd person of much higher level will break the xp gain.



Present response: Experience would be mitigated by the presence of a higher level character; however, the mitigated experience would be tripled due to the link. Remember, if one of the linked characters is lower than the other, only the lower level one will receive the XP boost.

This is being tested currently. If the response changes, I'll let you know.

lol at me
I created my new account only to transfer off the only 70 I still play (my prot pally) on the main account. Nobody to give the mount to. And I don't want to play anyone one the new account because that is where the boosting pally is. Though I could level them and move them off later I guess.

Plus my accounts show as linked but with 0 days remaining. Need to look into that.

Actually. If you want multiples of new classes it would be worth it to refer new accounts and create them, level them, move them back to a main account.

The most you would pay is $40 for a battlechest and 2 months play time - if you played all 90 days. If you pay 2 months you get 1 month free on the main account. Plus the transfer back. So $95 over 3 months per account for 3x leveling speed. And this is ongoing so you could do a couple everytime your budget allows for it. Hmm hmm hmm
