I am afraid of this:
-When visiting old planets, your level will be synced down to the appropriate level and have your stats changed. The level will be highest level you can do the content at. This affect everything, not just heroic missions.
-You will not lose any abiltiies or passives.
-It is not optional, you cannot toggle off level sync.
-You will get experience from low level content this way and can help your friends leveling.

This means slower grinding on lower planets at least not with the speed that we now have? No overpower over mobs?
Edit: Only plus of this is you can grind your levels up everywhere now.

This should be good for the reason you mentioned at the end: you can now grind anywhere.

You'll actually go faster because 1. you'll be at the "max" level for that area, and 2. You'll have all your abilities, even your level 65 abilities.
 
this lvl sync will be max 2-3 months and they will make it optional i am 90% sure

:)

How will it be faster if you for example farm credits on a low planet lets say level 30. You'll then be level 32 with your stats instead of 65. Monsters still drop the same loot but it will take you more time to kill them.
I am looking at this from gaining credits not levels. Levels will surely be faster thats true.
I've also managed to grab this from the video which shows that even your abilities scale down:

Priming Shot now has 4-5k dmg at level 60 :)
At level 18 only 700-800

Probably not :) Why implement it then remove it? It encourages friends play together and also give you more space, free will to play anywhere to bring those levels up. Al least thats from a developers point of view...
 
well x12 was 1 time event too a lot other things too
from now there is not happy players in forums about this change
this expansion is not a big deal for core players nothing new so far no ops no fps 1 new pvp and thats all and story for 5 lvls how much time you will need ? 2-3 days per toon
that's why i think some changes wont be last

I mean, it's possible that they will revert this change, but not until 5.0. It would be silly to not give this some time to assess; players will whine about anything. GW2 has a similar system and it works well-- gets people back out in the world after max level.

Yeah sorry, I meant that grinding levels will be faster. Dailies are always the best credit option, I doubt that will change in 4.0
 
yep i know for GW2 i don't say is bad but GW2 is f2f star wars is subs game so they care abit for this but who know :)

they add dailies on almost all planets and buff credits from them like 20k per daily i think was

I doubt dailies bring more than mob grinding. You can PM me the amount. Are they even AFKable or you mean with lazyrider?

x12 is not 1 time event. The game is still in x12 mode right now and will continue

-With the expansion, you just need to play the class missions and the planetary main story mission to level up. The side quests are now classified as exploratory missions and can be hidden.
-12XP will be going away with launch of Fallen Empire and be replaced with this new system.

What I understand here is that x12 will stay just under different name :) So you only do story missions to level up from 1-65. Correct me if i am wrong but that is basicaly x12 what we have now :) ?
 
x12 was before 3.0 1 time event
then they put back on some patch because players wanted
Inspired by the popularity of the 12x XP Boost, Subscribers can level faster while experiencing a deeper and more engaging story-telling experience.

from 4 may
and now on 4.0 they will remove like you say on new version :)


anyway for me this expansion sux :) big time they just want to take something around movie

This is going to slow down credit farming significantly.

On the upside we won't just be doing heroic areas anymore. I already have a few non heroic areas in mind to give a whirl when this change hits.

That's how I read it as well. You only need the story and main planet mission quests to level. All others are now called "Explorable"? quests and aren't needed to get to max level on a planet (again, that's how I read it).

And I saw the level-sync thing a week or two ago from a player who is on the PTS or beta or something. He mentioned it, and I figured credit botting may be in trouble. Although, as someone who farms, as long as your just barely in the level range for content, you should still be able to bot most locations, albeit not as fast. Even if the mobs are the minimum to actually be green, I've been able to bot them (my gear is pretty top-tier, so not sure if all experiences will be the same). They can hit, but not nearly like being closer in level.

But, if they knock you down to the level of the top-tier stuff on a world (say the highest 4-man heroic is 30, and they level sync to 30, not 36), then it could get dicey.

Nope. The new PVE content is based around re-running old planetary heroics. They need some way to add more time sink into that gameplay. Downscaling was part of it.

Yeah the lower planet you go the more differance will be noticeable.
Is second line about levels or credits? If its about credits I don't see how you can benefit with this level-sync in a non heroic area?

Don't forget that they added new rewards to ALL the old Heroic missions on EVERY planet. So now you can do a Heroic +2 on Balmorra and get credits and rewards (crystals, which are the new comms) as if you were 65.
 
meh for farming / credit gain this is gonna suck donkey balls.
So i think the business is going to shift to Rishi / Yavin 4, but that would be only to slicing, maybe makeb...
Chest farming is a no no as they dumped that down, no more chests on makeb, as youll die sooner, so no kiting.

For playing the game this will get people back to the old content, which is good. BUT they really have to make it 'wortwhile' to go there and do stuff.
For instance go to instances to grind for a piece of armor set for lvl 65 or so.

So as a botter, fuck this shit and as a player hurray :)
