first time I've been able to log into the forums for 3 days...
I got my union arachnos widow from 35 to 47
and as she is levelpact'd with my brute on the other account, he got from 35 to 47 too

Well, influence and prestige was also doubled, so it could have been a good chance to rake in some of that for later use.

My friend and I rushed a few new pacted duos to L20/Stamina on Defiant, so we could skip past the dull blueside newbie levels as swiftly as possible. For me that meant getting a Tanker (Shield/SS), Defender (Dark/Sonic) and Controller (Illu/Rad) to L20 during dxp (the only three non-epic archetypes I don't already have at L50 - the Illu/Rad is now the one I'll focus on first to L50), and I even found time to solo my new-ish DB/WP Scrapper from L15 to L20 as well.
I now have rather a lot of blueside Defiant characters at L20, including an Energy/MM Blaster (levelled L1-20 during the last dxp weekend), and an Ice/Ice Blaster I haven't played since I8. I had vaguely hoped to find time to get a Peacebringer to L20 as well (the only other archetype I don't have at L20), but I didn't have time and couldn't decide on a name/costume/bio anyway.
I also did a very fun Hess TF (my first time ever on that TF) with my L50 Blaster (sacrificing my beloved Rain of Arrows when I exemped /cry), for some nice doubled Prestige which allowed me to finish adding storage to the second workshop in our blueside base, completing its layout.
I did absolutely nothing on Union, for the first weekend in a loooong time, except to monitor the ebil schemes of my marketeer characters. I have a stalker in a regular duo with a corruptor there at L46, but didn't rush them to L50 in dxp because my friend and I feel that the Grandville-based content is the best written and most fun in the whole game and we enjoy playing through it at normal pace. We don't mind the redside newbie levels either (despite having played through them dozens more times than blueside), so we were more concerned with using dxp to skip through the dull blueside newbie experience.

btw, I was the Sonic/Sonic Defender you teamed with on that, and one of the only ones that didn't die at the end. :P Thanks for that TF though, was a blast!

It was indeed. I'm very glad I joined you guys on it, instead of just helping you to get it started. And I could have done with some warning! I can't be expected to pay attention to onscreen warnings of impending destruction when I'm busy taking screenshots of a MegaMek! |

I expect to be playing Defiant blueside a lot more in future (running out of things I want to play on redside... until I16 anyway) and I'm hoping to do a lot more of the blueside TFs - they're about the only content in the game I haven't experienced before (well, along with Indigo/Crimson's arcs - never got around to those either).
My XP weekend was great but short. Short in the way that I tried to plan the weekend carefully so I would have the full weekend to play and on the last minute (friday morning already) there came some sort of emergency so I lost friday and saturday so I could only play the evenings, and still enjoyed a full sunday.
I was able to bring my soldiers from L18 to 28 and was quite happy with the result seeing as how limited my time suddenly became. I also lost A LOT of time when I struck L24 with my soldiers and with the forums down I had to figure out builds myself which was rather time consuming/confusing - not to mention I wanted to upgrade their IO enhancements which too was a bit time consuming.
Its was awkward and uncomfortable and it definitely didn't last as long as I thought it would.
Nam sayin
@TheBro
solo pvp?
Cooler than every single owl EVER.
I didn't play much at all during it... and when I finally had the time to do so, was totally disheartened that (almost literally) the only zone with people in it was Atlas. I turned off after half a run on a boring AE Farm... and did RL stuff. Maybe next time it will be more rewarding for me.
Didn't do that much since I still can't use a computer for long
Did a Reichsman TF for the very first time, and a few other TFs, was greatly disappointed, - my rad/rad defender still NEEDS insps to beat carnie bosses solo, power build up, stacked stuns and all. 
(NVM it was a toy computer at lowest difficulty, - I'm really bad player, and haven't played much since school. )
Ah, and I've finally beat someone at chess.
