Devs: Double XP for everyone!
Players: DOOOOM!

I still don't get it.

The devs can give us free pony rides and candied apples via UPS on demand, but people would claim it's doom because they'd rather ride go-karts and get caramel apples. Or they are allergic to horses and candied apples hurt their teeth. Or they heard that the candied apples are better in WoW and the horses have shinier hair in Guild Wars.

Some people complain about what the game needs. Other people complain that the game is fine and doesn't need anything. You cannot please both these groups of people at the same time.

It's an interesting casestudy for Pysch majors.

Haha. So true.

Other games have done this before (EQ2) and I am looking forward to the little boost in xp for a couple toons. So I am happy with it!

---

Ah a new batch of WL leveled toons again, been a while since I've regularly seen lvl 40+ characters that had very little idea on how to play.

There's no pleasing some people.

Some people like to "act" outraged to get attention, too.

So they can never be pleased.

This is truly the first thing that has happened in this game that has really pissed me off but it has really...pissed...me...off.

Wow, you have your tinfoil hat on? Yes, this was done as an personal insult to you and your SG. The devs actually have nothing better to do with their lives and game that to frustrate and piss you off. It has nothing to do with the fact that a vast majority of players will not be at some silly convention.

What possible purpose does this serve?

How about: "it's good, clean fun" ...?

Sheesh. Some people ...

You mean there is more to the game than just charging into the enemy and wildly button mashing? Then rezzing, of course...then trying again...

Total Focus is a hold, right?

I am not a powergamer, and I do like to go through the missions and the story arcs.

I do love this weekend idea because I will be able to try out a new concept character and see how well it works. It will also help my SG, which is almost ready to make its first stab at making a base. Since Prestige will be doubled as well, I will be playing quite a bit this weekend.

I am actually more excited about the doubled prestige though. It means the SG will probably be getting the base built a week ahead of schedule.

Would it be too much to ask to make the prestige doubling permanant, so smaller SGs can have a shot at a small but nice base and some other SGs can get back into their base to sell stuff they can't afford to keep? (My guess the answer is yes, but I have always said, that if you don't ask, you don't get!)

Woohoo!! I'm off on vacasion this Friday Thats gonna be an exp-binge!

Oh... did I hint to that? Sorry for the blasphemy.

I know it was asked if debt indeed doubled for the event but after skimming the 17 pages of thread, I didn't see an answer.

I didn't receive the email announcement either. Did it go out yet?

i think i feel a bit of a cold coming on.

Don't blame the Winter Lord (all hail his glorious name)!

Look, I have a level 43 rad/rad defender i've played since May of 2004. That's right, May of 2004. And I didn't WL him up either. And I STILL don't know how to play

Just received mine (5 minutes ago according to GMail). Maybe it's lagging slightly or something.

Why would they pick the weekend of the San Diego Comic-Con for this promotion? Wouldn't it be more prudent to pick a weekend when nothing much was going on? Comic-Con is by far the largest event of this type of the year. I'm not saying it would affect COH/V's turnout by much but this con attracts nearly 200,000 people.

My opinion (and it's just that), hold special events for COH/V at times when peoples attention is not being redirected towards other events.

NO NO NO We MUST STOP THEM! ! ! !

You do realize what this means?

2x experience = 10x blind invites!

More people on a team means more xp and if that is doubled, everyone will be grabbing players just to up the spawn counts.

DOOOOOOOOOOOmmmmm.

However if they could put it off for a week or two, that would be nice.

[/ QUOTE ]

Blind invites not an issue anymore since the not accepting invites option.

Political activists are pretty damn whiny. No matter the side, no matter the issue.

Yep, just checked my e-mail again, and it was there.

August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.
This is houtex, aka Mike, signing off the forums. G'night all. - 10/26/2012
Well... perhaps I was premature about that whole 'signing off' thing... - 11-9-2012

From the sounds of the email it really looks as though they are trying to pull people back into the game.

As far as making people happy, never happen. Like some have said, no matter what they do it wouldn't matter, if it was a free month, people would say they wished it would be double exp.

Personally I am greatful as I can either work my brute to 50 as she is 5 levels shy or I can try a bunch of new alts.
