Yeah, testing sounds in order.

I can't dig up exactly where I read this quote (in quite a few places actually) but they said one of their biggest goals was to allow for a player to jack in for at least half an hour to an hour and within that time period feel like they've done something.

With this new patch, I can understand what the devs were trying to do.... but boy did they do it the wrong way. All interest in missions has flown out the building for me, and honestly that was a great aspect of enjoyment while I was jacked into the game.

This nerf isn't enough to make me cancel my account, but I am sorely dissappointed and if things keep going downhill like this (I mean the fun factor of the game in general) then I may just do that. After all, it is pointless (and kinda dumb) to pay for a game that you don't even enjoy anymore.

yeah lithium hit it......of course no on ewho is lvl 50 will hve much complaining unless there trying to get info. NOw for us mid lvls we will look like fools taking up to 2-3 momths trying to get to 50.

After listening in TS i noticed what i knew would happen. Lvl 45-50 saying that this needed to be done for the long run. Which i totally agree with but they went about this way wrong anyone to say other wise is lieing to themselves. I played near 4hours for 1bar thats rediculas tedious boring lvling that didnt in my eyes add any content to this game. A gamne that has a ton of content already. I think the events add enough content along with the evrday stuff. If not for putting hours and hours into events i would already be close to 50. All those times peopel said dont run missions collect play the event. Now we pay for it and i have toi sit in teamspeak....while lvl 50's tell us this should have been done.

Myth, I think we all agree that it was to easy to get to lvl 50 and something did indeed need to be done. We have been saying that since the first week of release. However I also think most of us agree that this was the wrong way to fix things. It is easier for the higher lvls to look at it in a positive light since they have alot of the grind behind them and it does not effect them quite as much. With all the bugs, problems, and "sploitz" we have had to deal with lately, it is to be expected that those who can put a positive spin on a half-ass fix will do just that. It at least shows the devs are trying, which is reassuring to many of us. Everyone who is now 50 worked hard to get where they are, so there is no need to feel negativity towards them. They are still on your side after all.

After reviewing posts made by AntiVirus in the Broadcast Depth forum on the Official Boards, this actually is not what it seems to be. Hard Missions are not a consistent 30 minute wait. Certain objectives in the mission are assigned an allotted time, so each objective has its own timeframe. So it won't always be 30 minutes. Could be 25, 18, whatever.

Also, assuming that you complete a Hard Assassination Mission that pays out 300,000 xp when you do it in 30 minutes, then if you do the same mission in 3 minutes, you get 30,000 xp...however, if you continue to run missions at 3 minutes a pop, you will end up with the same 300k xp no matter what. However, I think there is a screw up in my math, as someone on the forums pointed out that if you sit there and grind the Be-Jesus out of missions, you actually end up with more experiencing by completing the missions as quickly as humanly possible for 30 minutes.

Anyway, check out the post made by AntiVirus in Broadcast Depth, it clears up a lot of things. This was rather needed, as far as adjustments go. However, I think that they could have done a better job at designing it, but all things considered, not too bad.

And before you assume it's because I'm high level, I'm actually only level 29, so I'm feelin ya', Dawgz.

Ok, I sat in each part of a three part mission at 10 minutes apiece for a total mission time of 30 minutes Total Given EXP = 280 000, At 2 blips filled it would take me 20 hours to complete level 42 at that rate.

mmm hand.... meh, i'm glad they did something about the exp,this coming from someone mid/low level (27ish). I was afraid this game  was becoming what all MMO's are... Grind fests. I hate the grind always have, always will. At least now hopefully people will go and actually kill things and have fun doing there missions rather than just doing it braindead style going from one mission area to the next hauling ass.
