Double XP in AE?

There was last time, and the patch of the latest AE farm seems too coincidental not to draw a connection.

Not correct.

There was the first time.

There wasn't last time, and they said it was a bug. They fixed the bug, but it would have required a mid-DXP patch, which is annoying at best and game-breaking at worst.

Double times very little is still not too much.

Did the nerf affect the "normal" AE farms such as the battlemaiden clones and the Samurai farm?

If not, I will enjoy some AE x2 xp there that will not be too bad.

Otherwise its off to Peregrine.

No, only the Henchmen were nerfed because they were giving more EXP than they were intended to.

All AE missions that didn't use the Henchmen as custom critters remained untouched.

To this 4/4 beat, I'm in time with you. To this 4/4 beat, I would die for you. Your lovesick melody is going to get the best of me tonight, but you won't get to me 'cause I won't sing.

Arcs with standard enemies will give double standard experience in AE just like they would in the real world.

I don't remember the battlemaiden farm, but the samurai farm got nerfed in Issue 16 over six months ago when they made custom critters give less xp if they had few than the minimum required or were missing key powers from the hard and above classifications. (As I understood it, the samurais had their obligatory ranged attack removed by the farm creator, which, after Issue 16, meant that they were worth 0 XP).

If a critter gives more XP than the risk or effort expended to defeat them should suggest, expect that it's XP has been, or soon will be, reduced.

As long as you aren't farming custom critters, your double xp will be just as good inside the architect as it would be outside of it.

Not that you are supposed to be farming in the architect in the first place, but if you insist...

New story arcs coming soon (ARC IDs will be aded when I finish the arc):
So, you want to join the Hellions? (level 1-14 Villainous arc)
Sparks & Steel (level 5-20 Heroic arc)
and
So you want to join the Skulls? (level 1-14 Villainous arc)
