Or a BRD that's too lazy to play the game the way it was intended to be played.

Re: Campaign Battles and Skillups

I leveled BRD from 73-75 (almost capped xp now) because I didn't have time to party, needed notes for PLD gear and wanted to break a latent.

And after all the time I've spent in campaign (and having fun with the game again after quite some time) I seriously doubt I'll try to party again from 60 to 75 unless I'm xping with friends.

I don't mean BRDs legitimately using the campaign system. I mean the douchebags that stand next to the allied tags issuer and spam songs for a few minutes, renew tags, rinse and repeat.

Oh, you mean the parasites. I hope the update will destroy them.

Well, Assuming the delay on tags is at the very least 5-10 minutes, I think that'll do the trick.

Re: Campaign Battles and Skillups

I think 10 mins is good, maybe even 15-30 min. There's no reason for someone to get a new tag for the same battle any time sooner than that.

But, the timer needs to reset the moment the campaign battle ends, otherwise people getting to the zone and getting the tag a few moments before it ends (only to have the battle start again 1 minute later) would end up losing some xp/notes or having to zone to get a tag for the new fight.

No, they need to ditch the god damn EXP based on time spent.

I'm sick of getting screwed out of hundreds of EXP just because my tags weren't on long enough (sometimes by a few seconds...)

[Raydeus]

Re: Campaign Battles and Skillups

They will never do that, it would mean the end of xp parties or would require an adjustment so actions gave less xp/notes so people didn't ditch xp parties completely.

What they can do is up the cap a little for individual actions (after the longer tag delay is added), but I wouldn't expect anything beyond that.

You mean other than to get decent exp rewards? Any job that can't blood tank will cap out on the exp they can get at 10 minutes, which means they will spend the next 5-20 minutes getting absolutely no credit for the work they are doing.

Re: Campaign Battles and Skillups

Which is why I'm thinking SE will raise the cap for individual actions after a longer delay is added.


PS > How do you cap xp by the way? What is it that you do while in campaign exactly?
