WoW triple experience gimmick

[ratbuddy]

Sheesh, subscriptions must be down or something. Recruit someone and you get 3x xp when grouped with them, including quest rewards. Get to 70 in a week, I'm sure. Anyone wanna join WoW and level like mad? PM me :p

WOW! I wounder if that is in addition to any rested XP 2x multiplier.

[grimm003]

...and how much are lvl70 accounts selling for?

[VinnyTAMU]

Alot less once the leveling services get wind of this.

You must be a slashdotter, following their tradition of posting before reading the link :)

Doesn't stack with any other XP mod, but who cares? It works for 90 days and includes quest XP.. Nice..

[nightelph]

Yeah saw that a few days ago. I was like, seriously? I wonder if they're trying to pull in new players to then get them psyched for WotLK..

[Shell]

3x experience doesn't sounds like a lot of fun, I think this may backfire, sure they get a lot of new players, but they won't keep playing for as long as if it were something like permanent 2x until 70.

[nightelph]

3x experience doesn't sounds like a lot of fun.
Think of how much work you put in to get to 60, then divide by 3. Does it make it easier for new [perhaps casual] playes to get the whole WoW character creation experience? You betcha. They're reeling in new people, I think its desperate and shallow, but for the demographic its targeting, its gold.

I haven't played wow in almost a year. I played on and off for a year, getting to lvl63. It was some of the most fun I've ever had, if I put the time in. This new 'promo' may get people sucked in faster, but the make-or-break decision [is this gaming experience for me?] is still the same.

[AngryArtichoke]

I'm glad I sold mine when I did. I bought a nice big monitor with the money!

[PhysX]

So.... Whats the point of the game then ?

[Adragontattoo]

end game raiding and BG is about ALL that WoW has..

[InThrees]

Thinking about selling my account. Not playing it now, WotLK beta news is underwhelming me (and I even have a 70 17/34 warrior ready to titan it up, if I go back), and I don't really miss it.

But I'm too mentally attached to accept the peanuts offers I'm sure I'd get. =p

[puremanb]

This is pretty bad, better plan would have been decrease the amount of xp needed to level from 1-70 to get ready for 70-80. Now people that have access to this are gonna mow past 70-80.

Another arena downfall :( More time at 80 = better gear to start arena with = ahead of the game for future seasons.

[SteveLord]

This is similar to various Army recruiting incentives.....lol

I think this is more targeted for people who are just starting the game and want to be able to level without the grind up to 60 or 70. I think the best part of the game is 60-70 and can't wait for all the world pvp that will come with 70-80.


@InThrees: How does a shiny nickel sound?

[Firey_chasm]

blizzard will have to limit this in some way :/ otherwise its just gonna fuel the gold farmers/levelers too much and just get abused by others.

ie, just before wotlk release they recruit a 'buddy' (ie a 2nd account) and use a lock to summon the lvl 1 to northrend party up and go killing.

to be honest It is probably a pre emptive strike before warhammer online is released, if they can get people addicted to wow before war's release their bottom line wont be hit quite so hard

[ratbuddy]

It's the first graphical MUD I've seen that's actually playable. Quite fun.

[John G]

The point isn't really to speed up leveling. The point is to get current players to bring in new players.

Active players normally could care less about convincing other people to play.

With this, you have an long time player who considers making a new character, but realizes they can drastically reduce their time investment if they rope in someone new. So, they convince friend/co-worker/family member to start playing the game to drastically chop down their own time requirement.

Then, the new player is helped at getting hooked into the game - not by the XP buff (that probably doesn't really matter much in reality), but by having someone nearly assured to play and level with and mentor them in how to play the game. People are much more likely to enjoy the game and get hooked if they are able to level and play with someone...especially if that person can show them how to play.

That's the point...provide a big enough carrot to get current players to bring in new players and help keep hooked by playing with them.

Thing is, the XP bonus only affects both players if they are the same level. If not, only the lower one gets it.

[RedDragonXXX]

I'm 3 boxing 3 Elemental Shamans :D

[Firey_chasm]

1 account is more than expensive enough for me reddragon lol :P. Although I did like the multiboxing ele shaman in arena video :)

[radium]

I have a separate account that I plan to level up, power grind to gladiator and sell it. With triple honor and triple XP given it'll be cake. I got level 21 in 5 hours /played time, shooting for 32 today with the 6 hours I have after work ^_^

Anyways, if you sold or quit the game, I would definitely recommend this. Although it's targeted for new players, veteran players can definitely take advantage of this ridiculous offer.

did you actually read the page? You can't get a level 1 to northrend, the summon stops working at level 60, also even if you did get a level 1 to northrend only the level 1 would get the increased xp. You have to be the same level to get the increased xp or only the lower level character gets it.

Also, unless both you and your friend are leveling very fast I doubt you will have all that much time at 70 to farm 3x honor. The account link only lasts for 3 months.

xp from killing mobs is really only about 1.5 normal mob xp, since the xp will be halved since you are in a group. That being said the real gains will be in questing, at level 60 you are looking at getting 30k xp from a quest, at level 30 you get more xp from a quest then you do at level 68.

There isnt really an effective way of measuring this but I am wondering how many new people this will actually bring in as opposed to people just duel boxing. I know there are a good deal of people who are looking at duel boxing just because they want the mount. Not to mention if you have the capabilitiy of duel boxing it is an effective way to level a character.


That being said I think duel boxers are the only people who can really make full use of the leveling ability as they can ensure that they always have 2 characters leveling at the same time.

2 single box users will have the problem of one user invariable plays more than the other or they do not always log on at the same time. This has happened with every group of friends I have ever watched level, not to mention that now you spend even less time at any given level.


While I do think it is a cool incentive I find it hard to believe that this will attract that many players who arnt duel boxers.


That being said...if anyone is looking to level on Deathwing, let me know and I will hook you up.

[John G]

Thing is, the XP bonus only affects both players if they are the same level. If not, only the lower one gets it.

That actually helps with the playing together part, though.

If anyone has ever tried to level up with someone else, it can actually get kinda tricky to keep playing together. When one person is on, and the other isn't, they frequently don't want to stop playing their character just because their buddy isn't on. The person who plays more tends to get ahead of the other one - and eventually a level difference can develop that makes it hard to productively play together in the first place. Especially in those earlier levels, if a person doesn't play one day they can end up 3+ levels behind.

So, if a lower person is getting 3x more than the other, then they will rapidly catch up and be able to resume equal level play without a lot of effort.

[radium]

Also, unless both you and your friend are leveling very fast I doubt you will have all that much time at 70 to farm 3x honor. The account link only lasts for 3 months.

With this XP buff people can level to 70 in roughly a week and a half. That leaves approximately 11.5 weeks to farm 3x honor. I have the feeling there will be enough.


xp from killing mobs is really only about 1.5 normal mob xp, since the xp will be halved since you are in a group. That being said the real gains will be in questing, at level 60 you are looking at getting 30k xp from a quest, at level 30 you get more xp from a quest then you do at level 68.


I don't understand what you're saying about the level 30 bit. It's not half the XP because you have the party bonus in addition to the friends bonus. It works out to be around 2.2x regular XP, however the real gain is turning in quests. 3x XP from one quest is ridiculous, you can completely bypass zones and quests you don't feel like doing.

To give you a general idea, I was level 9 by the time I left the nooby starter zone in tirisfal. That's how high this XP bonus is.

It's a huge bonus, granted scheduling may be a little off, but if you have played the game before and your friend can level with you at a reasonable (read: extremely fast for any other non-WoW addicts :D) rate, this system is wholly exploitable and can easily be used to power characters to 70 and deck them out in full s2 honor gear within a month.

[Shiggity]

Neat, I'd like to raid WOTLK, but it seems like if you raided Naxxaramas in the original WoW, nothing is as good or is just an encounter from naxx that is altered slightly.

I wonder how long WoW will hang around when Blizzard's new MMO hits in a few years.

[TheGreySpectre]

I just meant that standard solo questing at level 30 yields like 6k xp I think, a quest at level 68 yields 18k xp. hence triple the xp would make it so that you would be getting the equivalent of a level 68 in terms of xp at level 30. (6x3=18)

[fastcuda]

What sucks on this is they offer a unicorn style mount, and this is the only way to get it , so players that aren't new and want that mount will pay for a new account and 2 months just so they can ride a unicorn, what a scam, theres so many rules on the leveling, you both have to be same level etc etc it probably wont do many players much good , having to be together close on at same time etc.. blah blah blah. Also the new player every 2 levels can give the other player a level, so then they arent the same level anymore lol.

I know my niece really was looking forward to the unicorn mount since she is a unicorn freak, like many others and will probably be pulled into this scam.

........I want a Unicorn.......No really though, this'll just be another collectible that'll jack the price of a level 70 account due to rarity and also will target people that use this as "noobs". People will say stuff like "Oh you noob, try leveling the right way instead of getting the free xp and doing a third of the work the rest of us did" or some such trash talk. My latest toon is level 19 and you know I might consider doing this and transferring my level 19 from my account to a new account or vice-versa. I wonder how that'd work. Do all toons on the account get the x3 XP? That wasn't clear to me.

Edit - Nevermind, I reread the second to last question, It does apply to all toons, sweet.

So wouldnt it be nice if they also had an option,and for you people that have been paying us for 2 years, or for you people who have already reffered your friends, here is how you can get the mount also, but blizzard really has bad customer service and steps on loyal custys all the time like this, like heres new pvp weapons, now go grind again, no turn ins or credit for you people that already ground for last seasons, in fact you cant even sell them for vendor trash, can only delete them for bag space.

I just started maybe a month ago, and I'd even be fine with paying for 2 subscriptions just to get the triple XP for a while. Blizzard is speaking volumes about their motives with this promotion heh.. This something they've done before??

No, they haven't. Aside from the triple xp part, the part I found very interesting is that every 2 levels the new player goes up, they can level up one of the recruiters lower level characters 1 level for free...

yeah I agree, I'm not going to be lvl'ing up anymore toons till my DK's & I've already gotten all my friends/family hooked on WoW over the years, I think I have abotu 15+ referrals under my belt. Sure the free months are nice but damn I really want a mount. I think they should allow people who've got a few referrals in the past get the mounts. I don't really know anyone else who I could get hooked on WoW.

Unless anyone here is looking to buy a new acct and start up before WotLK? If you are please PM me & I'll drop you a referral. Also if I could get 2 referrals then I could get a mount for my daughters toon as well and she really wants a Zebra...lol

Thanks...

[InThrees]

Honestly WoW should just incorporate a micro-payment scheme. It's been out long enough that it literally wouldn't hurt anything.

And I completely understand the claim that this new recruitment plan will alienate some existing players. There are people who haven't missed a payment since the game came out of beta, but they're kind of left out in the cold unless they want to pay for another account, use the gimmick, and then pay the fee to transfer the character to their own account. Oh yeah, AFTER finding a sponsor to 'invite' them, I guess.

This is like being a cable subscriber and finding out that new cable customers get free backrubs and pretty internet brides, while you only get the same old cable bill.

Scam is really too strong a word. Granted they blatantly disregarded all recruitment efforts done in the past by doing this, HOWEVER, name one person who has played since the beta who will quit over something so trivial. They are merely increasing their profits.

I would estimate the people who created new accounts vs the people who stopped playing due to this issue would look something like 100:1 at the most.

Blizzard is a business, they make money.

[Springbok]

WoW only starts at level 70, anyway, it's good that they're helping people level up faster. Sure there will always be gold farmers and other jerks who milk the system, but it's a good way for new people to get involved. The game is so deep it helps to have a friend at your side who knows what they're doing.

Blizzard couldn't let people get rewards for having been a subscriber for two years, imagine how many emails they would get saying, "I'm the biggest WoW fan I deserve x & y!"

[ratbuddy]

WoW only starts at level 70, anyway,

Uhm, that just ain't true.

[thideras]

Uhm, that just ain't true.Have you had a lv 70?

I actually canceled my account at my first 70 and came back recently. I have had LOADS of fun compared to doing the questing/grinding that I had to do to get there. Since then, I got into a raiding guild and am pretty much epic'd out...I love the raiding we do and attend very often :)

It is a completely different game at 70.

[JonSimonzi]

Don't get me wrong, the first time you level up a character, 1 to 70 is great. Tons of fun. But, the game completely changes at 70, and I have to agree, the game really begins at 70 (was 60, and will soon be 80 heh).

PS: How's your hunter coming Thideras?

[IrishAssassin]

I started again with a friend. I'm currently level 38 with 10 hours played. It's so fast, it's actually fun to level again.

[Springbok]

Uhm, that just ain't true.Sure the 1-70 game is fun and everything, but I was always concentrating on leveling up(to get new gear) and exploring(to level more). After you hit 70 you have to really think about how you want to play and what direction to take your character in because you have to invest hours & hours to get the right gear for your spec. Once I hit 70 it really opened my eyes to just how deep the rabbit hole really goes.

[ratbuddy]

I'm having a blast just fishing and finding new things. I'm level 35 and I only got that high because fishing was stuck at 225. Now it's 300 and I can fish anywhere I want :p

Maybe the game changes at 70, but it sure doesn't 'begin' as I've often heard repeated..

[JonSimonzi]

Well let me put it this way. I played Age of Conan for roughly 2 months. I have 4 characters that are in that 30-40 block, and one over 50. Why so many? In that game, the beginning is really great, but after that it just kind of fizzles out. And from what I hear, doesn't get much better at 80.

In WoW, I have 2 characters that are 70, a Fire Mage and a Resto Shaman. I just recently for the 4th time started a hunter, as they're probably my 2nd favorite class to the mage. I'm trying to hurry up and rush to the end, as the game goes on a whole new direction.

Let me give you a bad example. You plan a vacation to somewhere, lets say Italy. Now you leave in the morning, and you go to the air port, and hop on your plane. Now lets say you have fun on the plane, and have fun messing around in the airports while your waiting for your next flight. Now that's all fine and dandy that your having a good time getting there, but your vacation and the REAL fun starts once you get to Italy.

Ok, I'm done talking now...

Ahh, for me, half the fun is in the journey. I'd probably take a ship across the ocean, maybe from Newfoundland to Greenland or Iceland, then on to Europe :)

[TheGreySpectre]

I wish they would just let you have a 3x xp buff once you had a certain number of 70s, like hey if you have 2 70s you have probably done most things while leveling up. Leveling was fun the first time, kind of sucked the 2nd time and now I just hate it.

[JonSimonzi]

Heh, I said it was a bad example :)

As I said before, it's hard for a first timer to understand until you actually get there. I still remember the first time I went 1 to 60, almost 4 years ago (yes, been playing since launch day, Nov 23rd, 2004). It is a blast the first, even the second time you do it. But after that, it dies down, and if you create a new character, you mainly just want to play it at end game. So I think that's where the "the game begins at 70" mentality comes from. But by all means, enjoy the journey. Don't rush it your first time :)

[TheGreySpectre]

yet they are giving first time players 3x XP. I have raided long enough that I know how to play every class well enough that I have logged onto a couple peoples accounts and been able to do better at thier class then a good number of pugs. pretty hard to do high end raiding without a good idea of how other classes work. I learned more about warlocks on my paladin at level 70 than I did leveling a warlock.

Leveling hunter doesnt teach you anything about playing a good hunter. I mean you start out with raptorstrike and no pet. They don't teach you about shot rotations anywhere while leveling yet this.

I have seen a good number of level70 priests and druids who can't make use of the 5 second rule,Mages who try to sheep druids, Warlocks who get outdpsed by the Main tank, Shamn who don't use earth shock and grounding totem against casters, Ret paladins who think they need spell damage, mages who die on tons of pulls because they stand next to cleaving mobs, Warlocks who don't spell lock heals, Shamn who don't earth shock heals, people who every class who put dots on targets about to be sheeped or CCed.



Leveling doesnt teach you crap about your class after the 1st or 2nd time except what abilities have what Icon.

Not to mention the fact that you still have to level, it just takes a much shorter period of time, you still get abilities 1 at a time, just you spend 1 hour using them instead of 3.


Yes, I am bitter.

[InThrees]

mages who die on tons of pulls because they stand next to cleaving mobs

....Mages who try to sheep druids...

Wait until druid is in caster form-->Sheep the druid-->druid uses mana to shift out of it-->snare with frost nova, coc, etc. -----> druid uses mana to shift out of it--->kite druid around, while druid waste mana shifting in/out of forms-->wait until druid is in caster form---->sheep----> druid uses mana to shift out of it--->rinse and repeat and you have a druid left with no mana which makes them easy to kill :beer:. I agree with everything else though.

[TheGreySpectre]

Sheeping druids has limited uses, its not entirely useless, but 95% of the time I see it used is just because the mage doesnt know better. As evidenced by the fact that I actually had a mage say "Who keeps breaking my sheep".

[InThrees]

Shifting out is always free for mana. It's only when they go to a shapeshifted form that it costs mana. If they happen to shift to travel form cat, it's very cheap mana cost, too.

I'm a gladiator resto druid, got my s4 shoulders 3 weeks ago ^_^

Sheeping druids isn't a terrible idea, as it causes the druid 2 seconds of GCD to shift out, then to cast a heal. It also interrupts our heals/cyclones if the mage's counterspell is on cooldown.

Not only do the druids not expect to be sheeped, it's very frustrating because shifting in and out is a pain if your partner is getting hit. Chances are it'll also happen while they're about the nuke the titties off your partner :(

Sheeping and mind controlling of druids are some things you see in the high caliber brackets.

PS take my gripes with a grain of salt, I'm perfectly aware that every other class has no way of removing sheeps and I know druids are the most annoying arena healers :D

[John G]

Yeah, even short CC can be significantly disruptive. The better arena teams I play against use it deeply into their diminishing returns when they can. Sheeping an unshapeshifted druid isn't any less effective than a druid using that third, really short duration Cyclone on someone or a rogue getting a little more use out of Blind than seems fair. It's only silly if someone actually expects the druid to stay sheeped for an extended period of time.

[Drinkyoghurt]

I never got wow, but I don't think even this is gonna reel me in

I played it at my friend's house, he is a total addict(sleeps 1 hour a day, plays WoW all day long and hasn't seen sunlight for 3 weeks now). He usually gets late on all his RL appointments but for a WoW raid he can't be a second too late...
Played it for a a few hours, slaying a few spiders for some stuff they had(netherweb something something) and I am just wondering how people can play this for that long. It's also stupid that you can't get passed level 70 until the new patch is unleased wich will level you to level 80, and people get that level within a week because they stored their xp or something, what's the friggin use?

But hey, everyone enjoys something different right?

[jokers_greg]

WOW! I wounder if that is in addition to any rested XP 2x multiplier.

it does not stack with the rested XP, I'm doing the triple XP thing. Me and 4 freinds are interconnected :). The XP is insane. lvl 30 in 2 days so far!

[jokers_greg]

If you have never played the class, triple exp would be horrible. You learn your class as you level up.

i agree 100%, there's enough noobs who buy accounts and suck as it is. Seems my PVP experience this time around will be even easier. I'm trying a shammy this time :)

Well, since they cut off my triple xp at 60, my final /played time is 21 hours and 32 minutes to level 60 :D

WOAH, you killed it! thats friggin awesome! I'm at 20 hours and only at lvl 31! But then again, I just started playing horde for the first time, I have no idea where anything is for the most part, and I've done a lil BGing already :)

sick, is that you leveling just with your mate? or is that 'abusing' the game like athene did for his record?

my new hunter is lvl 19 with 10 hours played now lol :( but this is without any xp boosts

No exploits, I had a 70 prot pally that I would rush both of us through instances for the quests, but other than that it was straight up leveling. I have about 4 horde 70's so I can circuit quests like a fiend ^_^

[fenicks5]

I think I hit 60 in about 3 days the last time I leveled, and that was a pally. 20-some hours seems about right.

[Firey_chasm]

fastest I leveled was my last hunter before TBC, 1-60 in 4days 8hours

my main hunter took 42hours 60-70 when TBC was very 1st released, didnt even rush that :)

my priest took an aeon to lvl, 1-70 took around 8days :(
my pala is moving slightly faster, at around 2days 10hours atm at lvl 55

although my fav record was my 1st ever char, 18days 1-60 :P lol

so I think 20hours 1-60 is beyond me :(

[radium]

Well take your best time and divide it by 3, that's what your best time could be with this silly triple XP :D

ifyou can do less than 2 days to get to 60 without triple XP, you should seek help. thats all i gotta say lol

the paladin is an exception, he was leveled entirely with m8s and 3/4 of his levels done instances with around 3 people in the group and a lvl 70 just blitzing it.

atm I am kinda hating pala solo grinding, its a pain compared to hunter which is easy as pie.

lol, just think what someone like athene would do with that then lol, 1-60 in around 7hours :s

EDIT: I might well have misremembered his /played time too :$ lol

EDIT2: who has the most depressing /played time on a char? my main hunter has 105days :( over a 100 of which were spent at lvl 60 before TBC lol
