BR 78, 2515 spm with only 4,642 kills ???

Please enlighten me on how to l2p like that.

Play as support for your team; i.e. reviving / healing / repairing and work as a force multiplier (of course you can also do various dubious actions to achieve the same thing but lets presume no bad intentions on the player).

2500 spm seems unrealistic, I can barely get 250 while playing medic and I use my tool more than my guns.

Nanites. ALOT of nanites.

Totally legit /s

That's a 4th faction character for when you can switch factions at the end of Alert and reap all the benefits.

I know a player who reached BR 60 on an alt and only had 2-3 hours playing time because he switched factions to the winner 2 mins before the end of the alert.

Oh I see, so he basically just jumps in at the end of an alert, farms for a few minutes, get his alert bonus and logs off?

But is it still possible to get 2500 spm even like that?

I've seen players do nothing except go around empty continents or the empty parts or continents and simply kill turrets. Then they can hop on an alt and go and repair them.

The reward can be quite high. It's a soulless activity but some people do it.

Alert bonus got changed awhile ago. You'll need to be logged in without inetrruptions for the full duration of the thing to get the reward fully.

No.

When Alerts first started, you can literally switch to the winning faction with a a couple minutes remaining, sit in the warp gate and get full experience. A lot of people exploited that and got thousands of certs and XP for Alt characters before SOE put the clamp on that.

There have been plenty of alerts where I just happen to log in with less than 10 minutes to go. I get a whole whopping cert.

EDIT. It is the way it is now because of what Hibiki said. 4th factioning at the end of alerts was pretty exploitative.

Well then that doesn't explain how this player can still maintain a 2500+ spm...

Auraxium membership +50% to XP
Boost another 50% to XP.
Double weekend
Profit.

I've seen people with 800+ spm but come on, 2500+ spm is unrealistic.

Well the guy has 4 thousand kills, so he obviously does/did spend some time playing normally. Even with full membership / XP boost, I'm scared to imagine what kind of SPM he really has if the average is 2500.

So is there actually a logical explanation of how he does that?

I don't really know, I don't keep track of XP abuses people use. For example, until I read this thread I wasn't aware of the 4th faction exploit.
The most probable explanation is that this character is exclusively played with membership and XP boost bonuses during double XP events, maybe even only during alerts which gives another 20%. This all leads to 220%*2 = 440% XP, or 560 SPM before boosts, which is still a lot, but possible if character is only used during large non-stop battles of prime time by a good player, and considering he has ~5 KDR, he must be an exceptional player. That, or using cheats

Want my Investigation?

Probably an alt character of some veteran and good player, his main character should definetly have way less spm, maybe around 400-600.
This one was made back in September 2013 and doesn't seem to be in any outfit, no squad beacons placement counts and a small friend list with less than 20 players, auraxium level membership.

Given this and other informations I can probably assure you that his gameplay consists in lonewolfing jumping from one place to another and scoring kills like a baws.
The thing is for a spm that high and yet only 1.31 kpm by my book means he played for very little windows of times like 3,4 consecutive days with some Hyper boosts (or even ordinary 3 days 50% ones), very highj chance during 2x xp boosts, his Kill per month and day tracker thanks to the Dasanfall stats website also seems to be pointing at this.


Light assault for towers
Infiltrator for everything else spamming Recon darts which grant some good xp income.
A bit of medic every now and then, but he doesn't even have revive grenades, so just some more recon dart spam as infiltrator.

In the end it's definetly the alt of someone with a lot of experience on his back that already knew what to cert into as a new character, that has very good infantry skill and knows how to play the redeploy meta and has no obligations whatsoever slowing him down as of friends playing with him or outfit's duties.

Pretty legit imho, also spm might get buggy sometimes, or he must have joined some last minute alert total domination prior to the "Effective alert time played" tweak, it was routine back in the day for many.

Not something you can achieve through "normal" gameplay, somethings can't be done anymore and/or requires you to play in certain windows of time.

More than a l2p the case here if you'd like to mimic him, would be a l2 maximize your spm lesson ^^

One wierd thing, he "only" has 21k total certifications at battle rank almost 80, by the time you're 100 a normal player should have around 73 k certs...

Ok double post because otherwise it'll get lost in the previous walltext.

According to the player website he earned almost 8M out of his whole 9M points score through Light assault class, yet all the combined weapons used with that class barely reach 800k/1m point combined, this has definetly me thinking that just played most of the time the 4th factioneer joining the winning dominant alert and gets loads of xp just by standing idle.
That "might" explain everything, my investigation might also have been not that needed, some things written do state some possible true factors, but this thing alone explains his spm.
Probably very little need of any 2x xp weekend or Hyper boosts.
Just membership and logging in for 5 seconds or so.

This can't be reproduced anymore though, and is also backed up by the fact that the player is BARELY played anymore, like 120 kills per month.
He just doesn't care for it, it was made up all the way through by joining such alerts and he never had much interest in it from the start.

Yeah I concur, it's legit as of no hack / xp glitch used whatsoever, atleast from my knowledge of this game's history, he just made "good", read abuse if you want, of a certain possible behaviour some months ago.
Hopping to the winning alert faction.
