Too Soon

Well, keep in mind where a lot of vets are. Lot of level 50's, so there's no huge hurry to get another one to 50, especially with "xp smoothing." Generally a lot of influence, so money isn't as important (depending on whom you talk to ).

And then there's the annoyances over the disruption that double xp does to the markets.

Fair enough.


I'm mostly looking forward to having my 2nd account active for a few days to get some stuff off of those characters.

If you get the day off, it's a real holiday.

(I don't get the day off.)

good point, holy hell I forgot it's double inf too!!!! WOOT!!!

I just don't feel excited about it after all the adjustments they have made to xp. It takes NO time to get to 20 now, so even if playing without Stamina is super annoying to you, you hardly need a 2XP weekend to get to it very quickly. And really, playing through story arcs makes a lot more sense when you're playing through. As Hamster said, Orobouros is too restrictive because you have to form a team just like a TF when you start: you can't invite as you go. So for me, it's annoying to outlevel story arcs I want to play, because the only way to play them and get merits from them in the future is to solo or play through the whole thing in one night (while your team dwindles, or you may not be able to make a team, etc.).

I do like the double inf and prestige, as I have plenty of alts to feed and a new personal SG. So I'll take what I can get there. But a lot of the coolness is gone from such weekends, and what is left is higher prices and a lot of complaining on the forums from people who couldn't get in right when they wanted (only really happens on Freedumb and Virtue, too... last time I got in easily, and supposedly there were "issues" with people not able to log in for the last one).

Farm villains Masque! I need about 150 mil inf to finish off that inf badge. Waiting till DXP to do it.

Good ******* God. This was SO not needed. I don't know about other servers, but Vic's not nearly as hopping as it has in the past with TFs and whatnot for this event, an extra day is just pathetic.

The only good thing that's come out of this weekend so far is that /gmotd message I saw this afternoon from Posi, basically saying "oops, AE is not getting double xp. <.< >.> My bad."

Of course, the ultimate irony will be that they schedule ANOTHER 2xp week (seriously, at this rate) for those that wanted to level by AE.

Utterly rediculous.

I think it usually kicks in the longer the weekend goes, and afterwards. Because everyone has outleveled enhancements, or gotten to the IO level they wanted, or gotten to 50, and they're trying to IO out. But who knows, maybe this one will be different.

Sure, I did. I'm just trying to point out the ridiculousness of a four day "makeup" Double XP weekend. It's too much, too soon.
