Double XP Weekend: the Aftermath


Archiviste

 

Posted

Tell us about your double XP weekend here. I heard that purples were dropping like quarters out of a change machine. I myself got 4 this weekend and I know a guy who got 4 purples AND a respec recipe. I was a little too diligent with leveling my DP corruptor and dinged her 50 Thursday evening. I then shifted focus on helping a few of my friends level. In the process I managed to get my 30ish corruptor to 45, and my WS, the last AT for me to have a 50 of, from 39 to 49. All in all, a pretty productive weekend.


If somebody you're arguing with goes off the deep end, don't follow.

I worked on a blaster and a defender. The blaster made 38 and the defender made 26.

And I had a blast!

Logged in yesterday, worked my fire/fire blaster from shy of 40 till a bit over 42 doing 2 TFs in the afternoon, then did the LGTF with my lvl 50 badger (who was still missing it) in the evening.

Mine was decent.

I got a pair of DP corruptors to 41

I dinged a few levels on my Plant/earth Dom, she's now mid 20's

I dinged a few levels on a pair of DP Blasters, in the mid 20's

and I put about 20 on my SS/Invuln Brute.


I think I had a productive weekend, until I flamed out last night.

Side question: Did anyone else NOT get any free server transfers?

Okay, no purples , but I spent most of my time playing lowbies .

Two pistol defenders. One Rad/ one Emp/. The Rad is now at 20, and the emp is (without looking) 22-23.

Had an SOA that I created about this time last year, got him to level 8 and then left him. Lowbie SOA are painful sometimes... Anyhow, it's now sitting at L27 (snuck the last level onto them right as DXP ended) and the mid-level respec as a Bane. Head-squishing Mace-y goodness!

Got to play overnight while I was at work and farmed up a bit of Inf on Hyperstrike (and helped a couple friends add a few levels to their toons).

Then yesterday, took my FF/Arch defender to 50 while breaking a foot off in Rommy.

I even tagged another level onto my Ill/Cold Controller.

All in all, lots of fun to be had. Hope the people I helped level had fun. And I'd like to put out a big thanks to the people who let my lowbies tag along and contribute.

I got a dark/dual pistols defender from 1-39. It's a lot more fun than I thought it was going to be.

We did police band missions a lot, then some people swapped out and we did some Maria Jenkins missions, and the push was on to 35 for everyone so we could do the ITF.

Once I got the dark to 35, I swapped to my tank, and did police band missions with people set at +3 and 4 and it was EASY.

Then, we did an almost full clear ITF and I think we all dinged maybe 3 times in there. We had an invul/mace tank (Frosty), a kin/elec defender (Thirsty), a rad/rad defender (Rasta), a dark/dp defender (me), and 3 dual pistol blasters played by Ice, Sooner, and Major T (I think they were energy, devices, and I cannot remember what T's secondary is, sorry!). Anyhow, stuff literally *melted*

Oh yeah, since we are suckers for punishment, during the run to 35 we also did Posi's task force twice.

What an awesome weekend!

You need to send that purple coin machine to me because I'm still running on my several month long drought.

Having said that, I rolled a couple of new toons and they're at comfortable levels, leveled a few that I've been neglecting, and had a fun weekend overall.

I think my first drop was Soul Trapped Gem off a Cabel Lt.
Was able to get my small tank from about 27-34. Not bad considering that is the highest level I've gotten any melee character.
Had a good time being on a great team on Saturday with Badge, River, and Loco on a team doing radio missions in Bricks.

Didn't get anything impressive to drop, but I got my Dual Pistol/Dark Miasma Corruptor to 33.

Not bad considering I didn't even play all that much.

If I remember correctly, Ice9, Frosty, and myself went with DP/Energy builds.

I spent Friday getting a Controller (Illusion/Ice) and a Blaster (Pistols/Energy) to at least 20... I failed at that...

The Controller wound up dinging 20 through the Faultline arcs (thanks for running with me, StarGeek!). My Blaster wound up gaining it through the Synapse TF... Plus three more levels.

I spent Sunday getting the characters into the Midnighter Club.

I didn't do much Saturday. Not in-game, anyway. Instead, I spent the bulk of the day driving my mother and a group of her friends to local wineries. I'd considered calling it off BECAUSE of Double XP, but... Family comes first :P

I may have had an extreme case of bloodlust on that ITF. I seem to recall channeling some sort of wargod and screaming at one point, "No one's exiting the mission, we're clearing the platform, Biatches!" on Mission 3. That's why they dont let me tank that often.

As far as my 2x, Twitch (my Elec/WP scrapper) made it to 50 and then helped the crew get their DP's to 35; Rhino (the Inv/Mace tank) hit 48, almost 49 I think from 46; and I rocked a DP/Erg blaster to about 30. Pretty happy.

*At this point I'd talk about some of the Purples that dropped for me, but I think Vyx's drought may cause her to have some sort of rage-induced attack or go into a frenzy, and I'm okay with living right now.*

Oh yes, I also helped our dear Zekiran ding another 50

I didn't even manage to get in game. Friday night was a bust due to RL. Saturday during the day I was over at a friends house fixing their electrical problems and that night friends came over. Then Sunday I was in so much pain from standing on a ladder for so long Saturday that I did absolutely nothing but relax.

So much for good intentions.

Got my 2nd villian to 50 (widow) and got my blaster from lvl 32 to 35 (but that guy is paired so really not to bad.

Got my tank from 42 to 46.
Picked up my fiancée at the airport, after over 2 months of being on different continents.

All in all, an excellent weekend.

And that was it.
