Hello, all.
I’m currently at level 43. If I purchase the Tavern Pass now, will the 10/15/20% XP boost be retroactive? ie shoot me up a few levels? I’ve got some credit to blow that I was going to use for packs, but if Tavern Pass will net me some gold from additional levels then it might be a profit to take that route.
Thank you!
I am fairly sure it is not retroactive.
It’s not retroactive. Source: I bought it when I was level 20 or so, and got no extra XP.
Unless the price drops in half like the BG pass does, or you really want Anhilde (the Warriors hero skin), I wouldn’t spend money on it at this point in the expansion.
I don’t think it does, which is stupid.
is an exp boost
those always worked on exp you gain after obtaining it
its how exp boost work on every single game
Not every game. I’m not getting it either way.
i guess this means you can show me with a link or a name which game with exp boost % item gives you exp based on all the exp you acummulated so far in the game instead of increasing your exp gained after getting it
Yeah, but we are talking about blizz (read: Activision) here.
Oh so you don’t have to provide a link to prove that NO game providing experience boost retroactively applies the boost — a much larger and significant claim — but I do?
I played Hawken for a long time, and they had season xp boost and they purposefully kept track of where you would have been of you purchased the ‘premium’ battle pass to entice you (you would be lvl 26 and see you could be lvl 39 and the game was NOT f2p friendly).
I don’t know which other game it was that did the exact same thing (I never buy them) — teasing you with what you could have with just a touch of a button and your wallet — but don’t pretend like my claim is extraordinary.
Don’t buy this dumb mess because that’s just rewarding them for making EXP slow and then gouging you for $20 for no gacha in a damn gacha game.
It’s December. This set isn’t going anywhere for months. You irrefutably do not need 20% more EXP. Why not spend your $20 on packs instead? It’s highly unlikely the 20% for EXP is going to pay for itself and then save you $20 worth of packs in gold.
you ve been claiming what happens with HS exp boost is an exception but it isnt
googled hawken and didnt find anything saying you get exp bonus exp based on your total exp
Boosters are purchasable items that increase the amount of [XP] earned. XP and HC boosters increase the amount of their respective points earned by 1.5x. Boosters can last for varying amounts of time, from a day to a week.
if it gave you a lot of exp based on what you earned before purchasing it they would say you get such a huge boost in exp on the item descritpion somwhere ( checked the game store page too)
I never said that. I said:
You are the one making a vastly stronger claim, that NO game works the way I described, not a single one. That is an extraordinary claim.
I never said hearthstone is the exception. All I said was such a system has existed, meaning it is perfectly possible to implement. It’s good for players so they can catch up if they want and it’s good to encourage more people buying the pass partway through a season and teasing people with what they could have further encouraging purchases.
Never said it still does that, it’s an early access game that never made it to a real release and has undergone several gameplay, monetization, and progression changes that were not very good or I would probably still be playing it.
If I made this idea up I would be selling it to activision myself. You have the extraordinary claim, not me, and you are putting words into my mouth.
you were the one who implied that was supposed to be retroactive on your first post by claiming its stupid for not working that way
as if it was the norm
because thats what people say when something they are talking about isnt
That is not inherently implied.
Saying something is stupid implies there is something comparably better, not necessarily that it is the norm.
Annhylde is OK, but if I buy the pass I want the middle Jaina. She has some nice armor.
You wanted an example: Rocket League retroactively grants you the bonus xp for upgrading to Premium Rocket Pass, which is basically the same system hearthstone uses.
What the hell is rocket league ?
Sounds like an AD post.
Actually YOU made the claim first and when someone doubted your claim you demanded they prove you wrong. Pretty standard internet bully type stuff. If you said something like “All Americans support XXX” and I said I doubt that, you would be the one who needs to prove it not “Show me someone who doesn’t”
Jumping in a wee bit late because Google redirected me here when I did another search hoping they’d changed their mind. I just did some rough math. If they were to make it retroactive I’d absolutely buy it. The cosmetics are nice and the $20 would be worth about 20 packs by the next release.
As it stands, nobody in their right mind who isn’t rolling in dough would buy it at this point.
I get that the xp boosts aren’t retroactive, but are the bonus awards retroactive (I.e. hero skins, cards, card backs)?
