A Little Explanation of the origin of Double Exp Weekend in Paragon City

Thanks, Jester! Let's see...<ahem>...

"Hi kids, Johnny Lightning here! Hurling bolts of bio-electrical energy to stop gang members and costumed criminals can be a real drain, both physically AND mentally! When MY batteries need a recharge, I grab for a can of RED BEAST!"

<nk nk nk>...ahhh!

"Yep! Nothing keeps me ganked up like my heart's about to burst like the smooth, slightly medicinal taste of RED BEAST! Uh oh...there's my police radio again. Time to get back to action...

...thanks to RED BEAST!"

Option C that you defined.

killing stuff -----------------> Double Xp
completing missions -------> Double Xp
Inf from glowies ------------> Double Xp

plus:

story arc completion bonuses ---> Double Xp
The bonus for completing Flashback missions ---> maybe? haven't had double xp with flashback before. I'd guess yes.

Awesome. Wife has already agreed to work at her office (college prof) and arrange a 3-4 hour babysitting session for the kids. I'll get at least one daytime play period Sat or Sun, plus 1 or 2 nights play out of this one. Last double XP I only played about 75 minutes.

Now to decide between the 39 DDD or 42 Spines/DA for my first focus that week-end.

All of them.

Personally, I plan on getting my PB up a few levels and my other goal is to make 250 million influence over the course of that weekend.

just my typical luck, every double XP weekend so far has been the weekend I end up working my 12 hours shifts

He may have meant one day...each week.

[/ QUOTE ]

i think he meant the days that are not part of the traditional w/e (fri night, all sat, most of sun - then off to bed early sun night for work mon). for instance, my "w/e" is tues and wed. so i will miss the bulk of double xp. and no, i can't just ask for those days off. nature of the business i'm in so i agree, a double xp week would be nice... or maybe a double xp token that could be activated at the time u choose; like a freespec, but account based rather than toon based. good for 48 hours of real time once clicked.

To simply say YAY as Whiteseeker would exclaim is a mere modest expression of the joy of watching the love, the craft, the time placed in a character bloom, grow and and gain the stature that the individual deserves in the hero or villain society..so yes, YAY is good but HUBBA-HUBBA..WHOOOO-HOOOO (does for me) say much, much more...thank you.

Thank you so much for the large advance warning!! No one should complain about being blindsided this time.

And Yea! Yea! for double XP.

Ouch. Actually, wouldn't that be bad timing? I'd rather be able to spend time *with* my boyfriend without the game rather than playing the game like we normally would do.

As fun as the Double EXP weekend is, I wouldn't mind it being a little longer. I have my days off from work on Mondays and Tuesdays. It would be nice to extend the event to those days as well so I can take advantage of it too

Oh well, it should be fun none the less! Thanks

They usually run from Friday at noon (EST) to Sunday at noon (EST).

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't think it has ever ended in the middle of the day on Sunday. It always goes at least until midnight. I think it usually goes until the scheduled maintenance Monday morning.

[/ QUOTE ]

What he said. In all my experience I've never known anything to "stop working" at noon EST. Recheck your sources, OP.
