Since farming XP is about to become relevant: Who's got crazy amounts of XP in the bank?

My top score is the RVN-2X with 550,000 XP. I hope that's enough to get some good upgrades, but it would be cool if the ceiling was much higher.

[627]

like, with one mech or overall?

[DGTLDaemon]

HBR-PRIME with just over a million XP. Used to play that mech a lot back when I just started playing MWO No other mechs come even close.

Not to brag, but ...

"Believe me, it will be enough."




On a more serious note:
Remember, Russ said all XP spent so far will be carried over as legacy GXP to be spent freely.
That means if you have 10 variants maxed out (each 57,250 XP), you will get ~570K GXP to spend on the Mechs' skill trees. 18+ variants and you'll be a GXP millionaire.


Also, look here:

Values displayed in the video are not final.
Maybe it'll be 5K XP per skill point or 1K or whatever.

My Spider 5D is the highest at 4,136,068 and 3 or 4 others sitting at just over 1 mil. All lights bar 1. It'll be interesting to see the skill tree in action.

Can you spend mechxp on other mechs then? Without converting to Gxp of course. You will get that legacy xp for the mech you invested it in or will you be able to spend it on any other mech?

IIRC what Russ said, then you get spent XP (on current Mech skills and on pilot tree skills) as legacy GXP.

I doubt that includes accumulated but unused per-Mech-variant XP.
But it makes me think: If the current XP are per Mech variant but the new skill tree is per Mech, what Mech does the currently accumulated XP count for?
Or will those unused XP be converted to GXP as well?
Or will the skill tree be actually per variant, not per individual Mech? (which I doubt)

[Navid A1]

lol

only 1 million?

XD


Which one of you scrubs are in the 2 million XP club?

[Widowmaker1981]

Banshee-3M with 2,500,000 is the highest (and ive converted quite some GXP off that, i think it would be over 3 mill if not)

Shadow Cat Prime is 2nd on 700,000

FYI numbers on new skill system confirmed to be placeholders only:

and total grind time per mech shouldnt be much different from now (though maybe take into account no 3 mechs to master rule anymore):

[Tarogato]

Nope.

BNC-3M with 702,228 XP is my highest.

I tend to play a lot of different mechs, instead of having one be my "main." I have 17,500,000 XP in total, across all mechs.

[jjm1]

I think the millionaires are going to be disappointed when they skill up everything they own to maximum and still have a million left.

I would want something to do some work on at least but if all the excess XP on my mastered mechs is converted to GXP, and the grind cost is the same (as Russ said it will be). Then I can probably max everything I own in one hit if I wanted.

[Vellron2005]

WOW, I've got 2,276,459 Xp TOTAL... damn some of you guys have a lot of free time..

[Oldbob10025]

I have too much free time and will be above the 2 million mark But I should be able to master about 3 or 4 mechs with the new skill system LOL

[Albino Boo]

I have 1.9 million xp on my SHC-B a few others on the 1 million mark and 320k GXP. When the legacy GXP comes in I dont think I will have much trouble maxing out the mechs I play.

[QuantumButler]

I have almost 1 million on a timberwolf, and several mechs have hundreds of thousands banked.

A lot of the longtime players in our unit have multiple mechs with multiple millions of XP on 'em.

My problem is I have so many robots my xp is more spread out.

Edited by QuantumButler, 07 December 2016 - 02:47 AM.

[Carl Vickers]

1.4 mill on timby prime, 1.2 mill on gauss bringer prime, 700k on ebon prime

[Rear Admiral Tier 6]

something like 30-40 million on 10 mech variants

yes,i have no life

[jss78]

My Shadow Hawk 2K is at around 800k XP.

But yeah, didn't the PGI overlords just confirm that the grind will in fact be about the same as before?

(But I'd love if there'd be some reward, however small, for grinding a silly amount of XP on a 'mech. Special camo, decal, maybe with a token c-bill boost (say +10%), something that has no game performance effect.)

[ice trey]

Naw.

I love Battletech, I love Mech Commander, I love Mechwarriors 2 and 3, 1 is pretty good for it's time and 4 had some positives... like being stable and having character development.

MWO though... I get burnt out on this hamster wheel really quickly, and I move on from one mech to another as soon as I finish levelling one up.

A million XP earned altogether is unlikely. on one mech is an outright impossibility.

[Zolaz]

I have over a million XP on 4 mechs. Firestarter, Centurion, Timberwolf, Direwolf.
