Why 60k?
Well, because that would mean you got more than double the experience that you would for just winning with A rank.
That's on 1x.
Would you like me to do the math for 2x?

Or maybe you mean to say that they've never so quickly replaced a training area?

Just checked and cpq Rombots were only about 300 exp each

I prefered the free route that didn't rely on chance of availability and the risk of being KSed or DCed.
Seems like they actually gave 450. My mistake in assuming they were the same as normal.
Party of two with a leecher = 360 (8:2) + 36 (10% party) = 390
Making 154 Rombots for more than 60k exp. Still pretty sure I could do that in under 10min.

Sure let's abandon the high level model that this game has had since the beginning.
In that last post when i said the "fastest training spot available", i was referring to the fastest training spot available for [i]end/mid game levels[/b]. Those silly PQs were designed for low levels, because leveling used to be tough as s'hit for the majority. For high levels, which since we're going off my speculations, the imaginary 120+ CPQesque PQ would have to compete with LHC in exp gain. A PQ being faster than training for 120+ characters has been unheard of in this game, and that certainly isn't going to change out of nowhere.
Also, i'm kind of sick of this discussion already. We have no proof for any of this right now so speculating over it when stuff like this happens is just annoying.

Actually for some characters, CWK PQ is faster than training...though im not sure if this is intended. Regardless, I think what Viaje is saying is that when each of those PQs came out, the majority of players were at the level of that PQ, CPQ was a little late but LPQ was swamped with people back during its release. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised at all if a 90-120 or even a 120-140 PQ were to be released. At this stage however, anything that speeds up the 110-120 would be ideal.
Quote:"Getting to a high level in MS pre-BB is like being a world war II vet. You don't know the s'hit we've seen man!"
In my experience 14x+ is getting to be much more of a peach post Big Bang, although I guess that depends on what you consider high level. it takes me 6-7 hours to level at 150, something i couldve achieved in 3-4 pre BB with 2x and one days supply of family EXP buffs.
At this point in the game it really seems like the majority of players are peaking at 100-140, and the 150 barrier is a hard one to break. It took me 6 chars to do it. I can certainly foresee more PQs in this range coming up, based on the trend Nexon has set so far.

I've leveled 5 times on post-BB 163-168 curve faster than it took me to level from 140-150 on the pre-BB curve, and the total exp difference for those levels is like 250m exp less or so? I really can't imagine how easy it is to do those levels now especially with LHC coming out in 28ish hours.

Of course a PQ being faster than training for 120+ characters has never been seen in this game.
Newsflash: There is currently no PQ designed for 120+ characters!
Just like there was once no PQ for 50+ characters. Then Maze PQ appeared "out of nowhere."
Your argument is pretty much "it doesn't exist yet, so it'd be ridiculous to think it will exist."
I've heard that argument a lot referring to PvP, but we all saw how that worked out.

Did i say they did? Did i say anything about neglect? I remember saying that there is a set MODEL, PLAN, etc 4th job has used and it has not changed to make PQs the primary source of experience.

Want me to reverse it and say "An event not occurring is not evidence that it will occur"? Refer to Appeal to probability. You're saying it CAN happen because it HASN'T happened? That's not a guarantee at all...
GMS has plenty of 120+ designed PQs, but you keep shifting the argument between GMS and KMS. Which version do you want to stick to? Because KMS doesn't have ludi maze PQ, and now neither do we.
No, my argument is not anything to do with something existing or not. It is about what would result from it existing. Two different concepts. My point is that Nexon Korea would be stupid to replace LHC so quickly if this completely imaginary godly exp PQ is about to be released.

Might i direct you the post that originally started any kind of 120+ CPQ discussion?
How about the post that even incited any kind of argument over an imaginary and completely irrelevant implication? You seriously might as well go into mapleadditions and start getting into fuming arguments with them over their ideas, because that's basically what you've been doing up till now...
I don't even believe speculation is even meant to be argued against because it's literally based on shaky evidence and pure ideals, not to mention i'm not a korean developer. >.>
Also, growing tired of an argument does not make me a masochist for posting it. What kind of pain/pleasure am i getting out of this? Or should i call you a sadist and bring on even more ad hominyms? Good job egging on another response when i clearly stated i'm done with this though.

Yes, feel free to reverse it. That's perfectly fine, but it has nothing to do with my argument. I'm not saying it will happen; I'm saying it could happen. Or have you not been following along?
It's rather hilarious that you're citing "appeal to probability" when you're the one invoking it.
May wanna read that bit about "A second form of the appeal to probability is the appeal to improbability or an appeal to impossibility in which the odds of an occurrence are drastically downplayed in order to bolster an insecure position or brush aside something that is problematic. This form of the appeal often applies to circumstances where the actual odds are not known."
My argument has not once been that this is or that there will ever be a 120+ PQ that outpaces training.
I've simply been saying that it could be. Therefore, my stance has been "because something could happen, it could happen". Where's the logical fallacy there?

Because KMS doesn't have ludi maze PQ, and now neither do we. I have not once specifically mentioned either version, so I couldn't have been shifting my argument.
I would, however, love to see a list of these multiple PQs designed for 120+. Only one that comes to mind is VPQ, but that was an event PQ that didn't even give experience for completion.

I argued against your original post because there is a difference between speculation and fantasy. Namely, that speculation should be rooted in something.
I do agree that we've veered far from the original matter though, so we can end it here if you'd like.
Don't really intend to have an ongoing discussion about a completely theoretical matter in an extraction thread.
Not worth the energy.

Haha how cute, instead of spreading your delightfully charming personality on basil, you come to SP too spread your bull pomegranate lol.
Anyway the speculation is a hypthosis, which is based off patterns that our devolopers have been using as a foundation since day one. You're just looking for an illogical fight as it takes a little bit of common sense to see the reasoning behind his statement.

Sorry that I apparently kicked in one of your sandcastles while stomping around on Basil.
Seeing as I have no clue who you are, I can't really tell if an apology is in order.

A hypothesis is an explanation for a phenomena, not a prediction of one.
All semantics aside, the developers have demonstrated no pattern in their release of new content other than frequency.
I'm not looking for a fight; I just didn't appreciate him shooting down the idea with an absolute statement where there could be no absolute. However, I'm not sure that someone who stomps in with personal insults has any room to say who is looking for a fight.

the antecedent of a conditional proposition.
4.
a mere assumption or guess.
See the last bit? A hypothesis is by no means an answer. If you are able, once again, apply some common sense to the subject, his statement, which by all means I'd place money on, is that the new PQ will not be beneficial exp wise, based on past experiences, and the illogical conclusion that after releasing leons castle, a 140-16x+ zone, a 120 pq would by any means surpass that in exp wise.
Viaje Wrote:All semantics aside, the developers have demonstrated no pattern in their release of new content other than frequency.
Okay I'll bite, how many PQ's are beneficial exp wise? Pirate pq and CPQ. How many pq's are there? Yeah.

You read too deep into his words and he simply was backing up his statement. And pretty hypocritical, I would quote every single derogative you've posted in the last 2 pages, but I don't think the webpage could handle it.
Viaje Wrote:PS: To quote yourself - "It's ignorant to shut down any possibility when it clearly exists."
Since you like quoting me maybe you can quote where I'm ignorant of the possibility? I'm simply defending his statement as a clear logical one based on the circumstances. In other words, your nitpicking a very plausible statement and being an antagonistic asshat about it. Sorry though I could make it a lil clearer for you since you've never been one to catch on to what's between the lines.
