Not true, first I use these weekends to clean up my main account with one of my expired alt accounts. Then use any remaining time using those expired accounts to be prestige mules for my sg. Also not all those Aholes have left, I know since I am/was one. Though I am trying to be better/nicer or at least just being quieter.|

-- I mentioned this before as a nice idea for returning players, to keep the free transfers going through this weekend, in case their servers are light. Or for that matter to allow people to escape the high populated servers for that weekend but still play their favorite toon. --

Oh the free transfers are annoying too, as you can see from another thread I posted... Suddenly there is more French in Union broadcast than there is English !|

Some of them are nice, the majority are typical French.
However I still don't agree with the Free activation weekend... double xp is always nice but it's the email that obvioulsy gets sent to all old accounts since cancelled saying please come back and try our new content for free... It's a ploy to get paying customers back but what really happens is a flood of l337 speaking, CoX hating, idiots return because it's free.
I usually spend Double xp weekends out because of that reason.
Consciousness: that annoying time between naps.
*cries*
You know, I am home almost every weekend, and every weekday for that matter, why must Double XP happen the one weekend I have plans that will have me away from home for a convention that I've prepaid for. Feh!
Oh well, I'll get some time on Thursday at least. But I've really been looking forward to double influence/infamy for a while now...just to learn it's on the same weekend as Consonance (annual filk convention in the San Jose area).
I'll have good music and time with RL friends that weekend, and I hope everyone has fun with double XP 
I just wish I could do both at once. 
(I have considered playing for a few hours, going to the con, then playing a few more hours before bed...but if it's like most of the prior filk cons I've attended...I'll be short on sleep without playing CoH too.)
Any chance we could get a schedule/calendar like we did...last year? Year before? I forget... but it had the Dbl XP weekends listed well in advance, as well as invasion weekends - if those still happen with any kind of regularity.

Alright, I saw a few other post's regarding this. Can anyone confirm that the "Bug" that was around for the AE lack of double xp be confirmed to be "fixed" for this double xp weekend? I don't see much farming anymore...

The AE doesn't give double XP (nor does it allow you to use Patrol XP except to pay off debt). That's working as intended.

As awesome as 2xp always sounds, I'm really beginning to hate it. Why? Because it ALWAYS comes when I can't log onto it! Serving in the Army, I don't get a choice as to when I am and am not available, so ...
We need more of these!

To clarify, as I recall, they stated that 2XP in AE was the bug, and that no 2XP in AE was in fact WAI. (Granted, the first 2XP weekend with AE around, I think the impfarms were still going full force. So yea. >.>)|

I mean honestly... the farms are still there, and still work, I'm sure. If they're not, then why is Champion's AE still always full of people forming farms/joining farms? 2XP is almost like the devs're saying "Hey everyone, let's go explore real areas!"
Besides, some of us miss those old days, when people actually made *real* teams and played through the dev-created content, rather than grinding 1-50 inside a virtual environment.
I may or may not be one of them. OK, I am. >.>;;

They then said, during the second DXP with AE, when AE was not getting doubled, that it was a bug. This means it was not WAI.

Something i keep asking for is a 2X Merit weekend,Yes some of the TF would then have LARGE Merit bonus(Dr.Q),but as merits are not awarded in MA,it would get "real arc" players out and doing a LOT of TFs/SFs.
Right now my two main controllers (Earth/Emp,Plant/Therm) are sitting on 500 merits, and 500 mill Inf, both are "purpled out" and my 1 person SG is maxed out with TPs and other stuff and sitting on 250k prestiage. so for me a 2X weekend is not really that exciting, and as it comes out BEFORE either DP or DS, the slots i am saving for them when they go live,I will not be using them.
or maybe they could say double the percent chance to get a purple drop for the weekend also?
Fluffy Bunny 1 Person SG
Rabid Bunny 1 Person VG

If you pre-purchase Going Rogue, you will have DP for DXP weekend. It says that in the OP, it said that in previous announcements and interviews, and we've even added it to ParagonWiki. |

Besides, if it only happened the first time, and none of the times since, the outlier would be the bug, and how it's been the rest of the time would be its intent.
Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

There have only been 2 double XP weekends since I14 came out -- one in July, and one in October. The first one, XP was doubled. The second one it wasn't, and that was stated to be a bug.

So, umm, since DXP starts on thursday 9 AM GMT, does that mean there won't be the usual 12-02 GMT maintenance?

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. |
- prepurchase digital copy of GR early(as in prior to official release in July)
- purchase physical or digital copy of GR Complete Collection on or after official release date
If one decides to pre-purchase digital copy of GR prior to official release that person will pay $29.99. They will have access to Dual Pistols in March followed by Demon Summoning in April. This person will be able to purchase the Item Pack when GR goes live in July, price as of yet to be determined.
If one waits until July for the Complete Collection combo, they will pay $39.99. They will receive 1 free month of game time as well as the Item Pack.
We do NOT have to pay both fees.
If you go the $29.99 route, you have early access to Dual Pistols & Demons, followed by voluntary purchase of the special Item Pack(price tbd).
If you go the $39.99 route, you gain access to the new powersets once the game goes live in July. As a bonus for your patience they've thrown in 1 free month of game time & the special Item Pack.

I'm with Psynder13. When and Where can we pre-order Going Rogue?
Here's a thought on the whole debate regarding the pre-order of the Separate Expansion vs. the Going Rogue Expansion with In game item pack.
Allow the Complete Going Rogue Collection to be available for pre-order. Once July hits, the In Game Items would be available to the players to mess with. Sounds reasonable.
Wait. I just checked to see Server Status and my Account. Both are suspiciously down. Hee hee...hoo.
