I was curious to know using PGI's method on how long it would take to earn 200,000 GXP?
Added up the following:
Pilot Trees (slots)
1 Vision Module: 5,000 GXP
3 Targeting Modules: 35,000 GXP
3 Support Modules: 25,000 GXP
5 Sensor Modules: 45,000 GXP
6 Consumable Modules: 90,000 GXP
Grand Total of: 200,000 GXP

Also if I did have the Mech XP, how much real $$$ would it cost to convert it?

If you averaged 1000xp per match it would take you 4000 matches.

Around $32 with the best costed MC package.

[Serpent 6]

Average match is how long? 6-7 minutes?

[Khobai]

8 minutes probably.

[Aym]

And you'd need premium to come close to averaging 1000xp per match.

1 ) All depends on your skill.

2 ) Depends on just how much you want to game the system.

3 ) 8000 matches

Current live match data since CB Nerf and 12 Man plus 2x Daily (163 samples) XP per match is around 500+ as an average using 1:1 Win/Loss with ANY selected as Match Type (no bias toward Assault or Conquest just whatever happens) using nothing at all that any Mech can't do aka pressing R. (No NARC/TAG, no left arm shield with no armor aka Centurions or Highlanders for Defensive Bonus). Double XP Bonus daily also not included.

EDIT: PUG ONLY

Approximately 1000 hours of game play if you do not disconnect. If you do... about 750. (Not including time finding match, exiting match, starting another match)

Values assume no Premium bonus, or they become something around 650 hrs, 450 hrs.

I will be posting full specifics in another week or so along with the samples, analysis, graphs, and a bunch more!

the short? A LONG time.
The fast? Converting it over with MC just as PGI intended.

Yup.

Now, keep in mind they regularly run half price conversion weekends, where it's 1 per 50XP converted. At that point, converting 200,000xp would cost you 4000, or about $20 worth at mid-tier packages.

I did that, myself, over some 3 conversion sale weekends - I'd just dump leftover bits of otherwise unneeded into conversions.

Now, I've everything unlocked, and around 50,000GXP I've built legitimately, for use in powerlevelling chassis variants I really don't like.

Note as well - as szJass alluded to - the 2x XP bonus happens before calculating the 5% GXP earned. Thus, if you have multiple mechs and clear several 2x bonuses every day, you can essentially double your GXP gain.

its a lot harder when trying to use the terrible forum editor on Chrome for Android, when at times you can't even see what you're typing - and obviously autocorrect isn't too helpful for oddball user names

[scJazz]

LMAO

OK so... u can not type because of Technology



I am the scJazz... founding member of the Skeleton Crew... Call Sign JAZZ... earlier than that we have to go to MUDs. Which would probably cause exploding heads if I explained how people HAD TO type correctly (More or less 30 years ago)

But the username... I am all Jazz

[Johnny Marek Summers]

But you really don't NEED to unlock every module do you? Heck, you can save quite a bit of GXP if you skip most of the consumables (like MC dependent ones).

[ohtochooseaname]

With gxp conversion and 500 xp per match, that would take you 400 matches to make that much xp. And, as has been pointed out before, that's around $20

[ShockATC]

If i remember correctly, it was like this:

20XP = 1 GXP

so 200.000 GXP makes 4.000.000 XP

thats a lot of XP you have to earn...

[wickwire]

average match time is 8.4 minutes
