Discussion: Double XP FAQ

My question is, and I'm sure this has been answered otherwise, but When? When is the Double XP weekend slated to occur?

What about large team XP bonuses? E.g. If I run on a 5 man team will I get quadruple xp?

---

Ex,

Simple questions. Are merits doubled? I hope they are. Will patrol xp be stacked with double xp weekend? Again I hope this will be true. Are recipes doubled also and will the day job stack with this? You got it I hope this is true. Thank you.

---

No, no, and no. XP, inf, and prestige is all that's doubled.

Still a little unclear about Patroller XP. I understand that, while I have blue bars, I won't be getting 1.5 x 2 XP. But as I earn experience, do the blue bars get eaten up as though I was burning through Patroller XP?

In other words, I log in when Double-XP starts with 4 bars of Patroller XP, stay logged in the whole time, and in the process go from 5th level to 45th level (and I never die so no debt taking off some Patroller XP). Do I still have the same amount of Patroller XP (which won't be worth four bars anymore)?

And second question--I log in before Double-XP is turned on, burn off any Patroller XP before it starts, but then get kicked off from lag and aren't able to get back on for a day. Do I have blue bars when I log in?

What about the XP bonus from the Arachnos Pilot day job (and the hero side equivalent)? Will those bonuses get doubled?

"our normal Friday maintenance period"
What time exactly is that? I heard 8am eastern time. Is that true? Ineed to know what time i have to get up on friday.

---

Maintenance is usually done around 11 a.m. Eastern so you should be good if you are up and about around then.

Don't be snarky. I read this as "you will not get double rewards towards day jobs", not *from* day jobs. Because the line right before it says XP is doubled.

To expand on this further, what about the day jobs that give bonuses for inf and prestige, which are also noted as being doubled?

Yes, it sounds like we won't, but it's unclear, and I would appreciate a clarification.

It says this every time, yet it always lasts until server maintenance the next day, unless this time will be the first time it actually ends at midnight EST.

ok in the OP merits aren't doubled and the day job xp isn't doubled your required to be logged off for that. The time is actually midnight and the server goes down its been done like this since dbl xp has been introduced. Like stated in the OP salvage,merits, etc. isn't doubled.

Thanks for the information! I keep hearing that freedom server will meet its max cap. and be locked out. Im woundering what is that number. Also when would it be most likely that the server would reach "Full"? Right after 9am pst / or maybe lunchtime or maybe evening?

I've been still playing at that time nearly every double xp weekend and the server has never gone down at midnight, I've continued to enjoy double xp until 3 or 4 am EST when I finally log off....

Whatever, it's all good.

Well if it ends at server maintenance don't complain. There is no point on that to do that experience alot more chance to level your toon alot more.

?What? Was that your answer to my post?

---

Yeah, I couldn't read it either. Anytime I see incoherent sentences in any forum, it reminds me of this.

Looking forward to double XP weekend regardless of the server. Maybe I will actually get one of my villains to 50 so I can finally start an Epic archetype.

---

Word!! Me too. I took Friday off for the hell of it so i can take full advantage. I just wanted to know how many people can log in at once on any givin server.

3am Eastern is Midnight Pacific. Sometimes it goes a little longer. Last two times I've played these weekends it was about 4am Eastern
