Thread: 3.1 and Exp question

i saw some interview thingie, where they said it won't give XP, since that would make ppl go back and do that, for easier XP. so they want ppl to go to HW content, to lv up.
but i'm sure the pre-50 content will give xp, as before. but lv 50 dungeons never had any real XP, since the cap was 50 anyway.
SB is based on lv difference between gear and mobs. your gear will loose durability by just healing out of combat, so it's not based on XP.

maybe a sub patch like 3.01, but 1 month after 3.0 would be too early for a 3.1

Its 3 months always not 1. The patch that is coming with savage alexander is 3.05

Yeah the +.1 patches come every 3 months not every single month. I wish... >_>;

Yeah its 3 months between patches and 1 month between sub patches. We will get normal Alexander two weeks after release and savege alexander plus the new frontline area two weeks after that.

Regarding your EXP question:

Yoshi during interviews have stated that the Main Story will have the EXP rewards implemented/adjusted for higher yields. This to me infers that you WILL be able to level up to 60 before you even step into Heavensward. If there IS a Level Cap break, I'm sure it will be tied to the Job Quest and not Ishgard, considering it wouldn't make sense to "increase your level" using the MSQ.
***
I for one have 16 leves completed, 6 Beast Tribe Quests completed, and a couple 4X quests completed in my Quest Log to turn in for instant Level 51 when the expansion hits. However, if it doesn't work for whatever reason, I'll just discard the quests. No harm done preparing.

It's been explicitly stated that there is no quest or mechanic to increase your level cap to 60, it is simply increased automatically if you have the expansion registered to your account. The only mention of older content not giving XP was with regards to the host of level 50 dungeons that we have as they feared many players would simply farm them to get to 60 instead of doing new content. They will give no XP rewards after 3.0 launches but this will be restored at some undefined point in time later on.

The 2.x series MSQs will be giving new XP and loot rewards now though so it is expected that a new player will actually be around level 52 or so by the time they finish the 2.55 story (assuming they already had the expansion registered).

Urrmmm. That post just says what others are saying about Alexander Hard coming 1 month later, which will be 3.05. 3.1 (with relic stuff and the 24 man raid etc.) will be 3 months after Heavensward.

3.0, All content unlocked in Early access.
Without HW you can get to 60 but you will not get EXP from level 50 content only level 1-49
You will not get ability from 51-60 as they are locked behind quests.
You will not get to be new race.
you will not get new jobs.
New Tomestones will be locked out.
New scipts will be locked out.
