I don't believe that DXP should apply to MA.

I tested that on Vigilance, and DXP apply to MA. I just had time to check with a lvl 50, but I gained double inf, so...

Thats going to make MA quite bad that weekend . . . . .

Really there's no way the MA missions should get double XP as well. They event should be used to encourage people (especially new players) to get out of the MA and try some arcs in different zones.
(not an anti-farming rant, I run MA missions quite a lot. More a pro-PuG & playing Arcs rant)

100% this.
As much as i love the MA, i was kind of hoping that the weekend was going to be used for the good old traditional crazy fast teams of yesteryear.
Oh we'll find a way to make it happen.

The thing that gets me about DXP is that it actively works against doing all but the highest level TFs and such while in the level range, because you cap out way earlier than usual it'd take, what, 2-3 mishes into Positron (starting at level 10) before you were level 15?
Spose we're going to see a ton of 35s wanting to run the ITF, though, and its plausible that Numina's, LG & Reichs will still get run a bit.

Didn't the devs make some noise about rolling back 50's PLed in the MA some time ago?
@FloatingFatMan
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

They did. And they did do some rollbacking too.
Of course if you're a level 50 looking to farm for tickets & recipes that seems to be fine.
They actually did the rolling back already? Hmm... Missed that...

Yeah i know one person [stateside he plays though] that had it done but dont know of any thats done this side yet.
Doesnt seem to have even slightly slowed down the rate of MA powerlevel though, if anything theres even more level 1 - 10s asking for PL than the 20+s.
One thing that did make me laugh though was the other day in atlas there was two farm teams lf members and they ended up in an argument over players
Farm team A: High level boss farm looking for members.
Farm team B: Boss farm looking for lvl 35+ members
Farm team A: Why would you ask for level 35+s? 
Farm team B: Because they at least can contribute to the mission and make it quicker
Farm team A: Well if you need help your just a bunch of pathetic PL'd noobs.
That was the start of it [kinda] and went on from there, i had a good giggle at the irony of two farm teams arguing over how "noobish" the other team must be hehe

I've decided that if I don't get at least one of my VEATs to lev 24 on this weekend then I should be made to pay a forfeit...

If you can find a couple around your level to team up with, you'll blast through to 24. Hell, you'll probably be like "Damn, I gotta respec when I could be getting to 50 in 2 hours' time"...

Please please let this topic still exsist after the forum merge 
That would be a big discussion US vs EU on PL'ing MA
the term PL'ing got way off the track here, prob some dont even know how it works.
Yes, i do repeataly MA missions, no i dont care. I rather be around a huge bunch of people doing the same then sitting in a nearly deserted server hoping i can even find someone of my lvl.

(50)MaceX/(50)Encore

Personally I don't mind having the option to get through lvl 1-21 very fast. Been there, done that. Also gives me a chance to try out some combinations, then quickly delete the alt when it's obviously paaants.
Since you can go into 99% of the MA missions with one lvl 50 and have any other ppl magically "become" lvl 45 they've built a farm toy they will have to live with.
Now farming same mission repeatedly is mind-numbingly boring, doesn't drop purples etc, so I'd take a strike force any day - with a lvl 50 alt.
Same goes for DXP. I'd rather whip out a lvl 50 and earn some serious inf, but if that ends up being a long waiting game I'd still rather join one of those farms to get something out of it. Therefore I guess I do like the idea that DXP works in the MA, even though I'm highly surprised about it since patrol XP isn't used in there.
Basically, what the devs seem to say is: Really, we don't care and you ppl seem to enjoy it so... Go ahead, farm your brains out, as long as you pay the sub.
...and that's perfectly fine with me! As long as people don't bother me and pay their subs, I'm fine with them playing the game whatever way they find "fun", althoguh, for the love of God, I can't understand the PVP'ers!
