Easier AA in GU52

[Ellay]

Looks like a comforting change coming in the next patch.

Quoted from a developer.

People are going through all sorts of strange methods to get to 200aa that we never intended. The progression from achievement experiences hasn't changed since it's introduction with KoS and the initial curve. As a result of that, level 199 to 200 is almost like doing 79-80 twice by grinding. We wanted some difficulty in going to 200 so that we didnt repeat RoK where you got to 80 the same time you got to 140 but this is on the excessive side. Changing it so that someone who runs a dungeon real quick gets 10-15% aa plus a mission bonus just lets you use the current content properly as a source of advancement. You can still go do those gray quests in old zones if you choose but having the option to advance through the current content should be the preferred method.

So if I'm reading that right..just going and killing in dungeons will give you AA exp when the change goes in?

I read it as increasing the amount of Adventure XP converted into AA XP at 80, as it mentions doing a dungeon run will net 15-20% of an AA level, as opposed to the old, slower progression.

Guess we'll see. I'm still locking during Dungeon content to nab all the named before I continue on.

when you killed named, do they give AA everytime you kill them? or just the first time?

[Frosty]

it seams rather mute point to xp lock your characters.

I agree! No more locking for me since I am really enjoying exploring dungeons anyway.
I've been avoiding them somewhat because I level too friggen fast in there and my quests go grey. :P

when you killed named, do they give AA everytime you kill them? or just the first time?

You get it for the named mob every time as long as you get experience from killing them (not grey). :thumbup:

DOH!! /facepalm

Oh well, at least I got some phat lewtz. :S

Well, some have been buggy for us. On more than a few occasions we've killed something more than once and gotten AA messages from them again {I'm usually too busy to see if the AA bar actually moves}. Happened a lot in RE. But it's supposed to be only the first time. I can't wait for this change to go in.

Now that I think about it..I'm sure I didn't take into account the bazillion alts I ran through the same instances. :wacko:
