Double Exp.??

Forgive me if I've missed it on the boards...but I want to actually schedule a full 24 hours of free time for the next double exp. weekend. If memory serves, haven't we seen one in July for the last couple of years? I know it's a bonus from the devs that isn't a fixed promise...but I swear I've had some of the best teaming experiences and sheer explosive fun during all the dble exp weekends. Anyone know if there's been any word?

Pax.

24 hours? Pfft, go the full 48 or nothing.

Nope, no word on one, if any. You'll know by the announcements sections like the rest of us will.

Not sure that I've seen an exact date for the next 2X weekend yet but I imagine they'll give us at least a few weeks warning. That's a lot better than the first 2X weekend or two when the Devs basically only gave us like a few -days- warning.

With the advent of Patrol Exp, Exp smoothing, and Levelling Pacts, not to mention all the consternation recently of people leveling too fast, I wouldn't be surprised if 2xXP weekends were a thing of the past. Disappointed, but not surprised.

I want to know when the next Rikti Raid week is. I hope they haven't done away with those.

Nah, they're still gonna be doing 'em. Good for PR.

I have a feeling they aren't going to announce it until they sort out everything with the MA. It is possible (based upon no ones opinion but my own) that they want to set it up so MA content is not subject to double xp, but that would take work to implement, and may take time (due to lower priority). Keep in mind this is all speculation on my part.

They have usually done them once in the winter and once in the summer, so the next one should be coming up in the next few weeks or month. I would guess sometime shortly after I15 launches.

yeah I15 is a content issue. You want to do double xp then to lure people back to try the content

MA is really an insider thing. You don't lure people back for 2x xp for making MA arcs

speculation, yes, but logical speculation. i feel the same way, they have obviously put thought into MA in that regards, as patrol xp doesn't count, so i would assume that MA won't give 2xXP.


Oh yeah, that was the time that girl got her whatchamacallit stuck in that guys dooblickitz and then what his name did that thing with the lizards and it cleared right up.

screw your joke, i want "FREEM"

THIS is why I loved the calender wallpapers! They had the DXP
weekends marked on the calenders. I wish they could do it again.

Yup. Same here too, especially with the brief history AE already has.
