That was a bug, apparently. As I recall, we've had two 2x Weekends since AE came out. The first one, it worked with AE. The second time it didn't and it was apparently a bug.|

Though of course it could just be a "bug" based on how much farming happened the first time. And we might have the same "bug" this time around too.

Yes, good news just isn't the same without a complaint of some kind.

Wait, what? An NCsoft distributor? If they don't sell any of those things what in the world DO they sell?

Same problem in Australia. They also stopped selling game time cards a couple of years ago. You are lucky to find ONE lonely little city of villains box tucked away in the back of the stores shelves. And yes, they are the Australian distributors for PlayNC. They just don't actually distribute much at all in terms of CoH other than massive disappointment.

Haven't seen him since.

You know, I'm part of the staff of a Spanish website dedicated to this great game
http://auraycapa.superforo.net/
I'm the mod who translates every single piece of news from the official forums to Spanish... and you're giving me a bit too work this week!
- Free Transfer Server extended,
- Dual Pistols Closed Beta,
- GR news (release and pre-order dates, and a few things more),
- Issue 17,
- Spring Event (k, lets face it, it has NOTHING new in comparison to last year, butr some new players have arrived, besides I have to post it anyway to say my friends "eh guys, St. Valentine's event has arrived" just in case they want to take part on it with their last created characters),
- AND now Double XP...
ALL in the SAME week!! LOL
I could complain, but I won't... I prefer this dinamic, having something to copy-paste and translate gives me the feeling that this game is well ALIVE... LONG LIVE COX!

I found the same info from another source:
http://www.mmorpg.com/newsroom.cfm/r...-Overhaul.html
1 source could be tricky, 2 sources make me think that's the right date.

Well they've picked the one weekend I'm definitely away, but on the plus side, will be at a beer festival in Belgium so won't care

Yay for double XP weekend. So many things I want to do - level a hero on Virtue, level a villain on Guardian, play my 50s to get closer to the Infamy badges, and now play a dual pistols character.
Gah, I need a double XP week!
(Sometimes, I wish there could be a Dev thumbs up button for quality posts, because you pretty much nailed it.) -- Ghost Falcon
Quote: you have the opportunity to get access to the Dual Pistols and Demon Summoning power sets in March and April, if you pre purchase City of Heroes Going Rogue (MSRP $29.99 USD)! You will also be able to get your hands on an exclusive item pack if you get the City of Heroes Going Rogue: Complete Collection (MSRP $39.99 USD), that will be available when Going Rogue releases in July!
This sounds like I have 4 *possible* opitions:
1) Buy COHGR for $30, and get earlier access to DP and DS
2) Wait till July spend $40 to buy COHGR:CC, and get (#1) plus the item pack
3) Buy each as they are available (total $70) - so as to get early access to power sets and pack as soon as each are available
4) *Hopefully*, be able to buy COHGR:CC soon(tm) such that I have early access to DP and DS; then when GR hits the item pack will "open" automatically.
Is it me, or is this overly convoluted thinking indicative of a Nemi Plot?
To be perfectly honest, I dont care. It's a wonderful game, and I'm happy to play it and I'm happy that DXP is comming (although I'll be away (wish it was an in-game gift/temp-power to click on lasting 72hrs)). It all just seems strange.

I would like to pre order going rogue but Im not going to till i know what specs i need for it, Cause I cant afford any PC upgrades right now we trying to build a addition onto my grandmothers trailer so my brother and I have a place to sleep besides living room :s
Right now I just meat the recommended requirements for CoH and CoV, I doubt I can play in ultra mode but hey if i can play it in the mode im in now, that will be nice!
Really want to know these things , the things i read in the news yesterday is what brought me back to COX!
Positron commented on video cards (actually an ammendment to a prior post) yesterday. Check the dev diary in the development section. I'm not sure if all your answers are there, but it's worth a look.

Ultra Mode will not change the current requirements you are playing under, it'll just add higher up ones for folks with fancier computers.

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):
Hoping I can get a broadband adapter before that weekend, but I got a nasty traffic ticket I need to pay first.
And once more, I work on weekends. I'll try to be on if I get the internets back before then, but work will eat most of that time up.

traffic ticket = due to speed
you sure getting a broadband won't get you another ticket
heh horrible weekend to do that. Final Fantasy 13, Resonance of Fate (end of eternity) and the RE5 long awaited DLC. I'd have done it the weekend after. I mean that is one of the biggest days in game releases...

Why do they block your IP? Have you contacted them about this?

Ok so Double Xp is super tyvm....
But why the reactivation on expired accounts ?? All that happens is all the Aholes that have left the game because of PvP 2.0 come flooding back to moan about it for free.
Consciousness: that annoying time between naps.

There are normal players too who leave for various reasons too, so they're always welcome to come back |

Oh, yes, while thinking of pre-buying the game: Please PLEASE get your wonderful games on Stardock's Impulse service. I'm very happy with them and would like to give both them and you guys more money. Them, because, well, they're not Gamestop
