Gah! Stupid job! Think anyone would notice if I closed the comic store so I could go home get redonkulous amounts of xp?? Its a worthy cause, right.....?
Luckily, I had 14-16" of snow drop over night, so I just called in for a V-day.
Teams are the number one killer of soloists.

Then why is there no double XP in AE mission arcs?!? Since the XP has been regulated in there, not including those missions in double XP is just dumb, and we should at least be informed about this little discrepancy in their "everything is doubled" routine!!!

I think AE was left out of the last couple 2xXP weekends so I diddnt expect it to be included this time round. Hit a couple TFs at double XP and its as good as farming in AE plus you get merits

My postings to this forum are not to be used as data in any research study without my express written consent.
1) Monkey farming was retarded
2) they had 2xp in AE at one point, then stated it was "bugged" last 2xp and they "didnt know why"
That's bull and everyone pretty much knows that. The least they can admit to is that they lied and AE won't be 2xp anymore.
And if you'll note, I didn't say anything about farming...I said AE mission arcs. If they're supposed to be created and run like the rest of the game, then excluding them is just stupid, barring any technical reasons.

Excellence.
oh how I wish this was double the shards !!!!!!
The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.
If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-
Is this starting a day early? I always thought it started on a Friday. I'm not complaining mind you! One more day to get a bunch of mid level 40s to 50. Woo!

2. Because farms, which are not allowed, are too easy to create and run through before the process of find-report-remove can take effect.
Double XP in AE will never happen under the current system. If there was a more strenuous system for vetting new arcs before they could be flagged to give rewards, then *maybe* AE would get double XP.

And if that's the only reason the devs are excluding normal mission arcs in AE, then I still say it's stupid, since people are ALWAYS going to farm if they choose, whether inside AE or elsewhere. But this excludes any legitimate AE missions from being included in double XP, so they are cutting off their noses to spite their faces.|

If the devs are foolish enough to think farming doesn't happen anyway, then they are not as smart as I give them credit for being.

WOW! That would be nice to have someday too. But in the meantime, it's time to get your toons and start mass joining of teams and running TF's. WOOHOO! |

Actually out of all of the events, Double XP Weekends are my all time favorites and I wish they would happen more frequently.

So you expect them to go round and play every AE arc (which has been calculated at taking something over double figures in years to do given the ammount of arcs) to see which ones are legit and which ones are farms?|

Or, y'know... you could step outside the AE building? Im sure it won't kill you.

That may be your Offically Announced Starting Time, but it started long before that. When I checked at 6:30 AM PST/7:30 AM MST/8:30 AM CST/9:30 AM EST, it was already on like Donkey Kong. |

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
The funny thing is.. I'm a little sad about DXP. Because all the characters I'm working on that are below 50? in Praetoria. And I haven't finished ANY of the storylines in praetoria yet... So if I play this weekend, I'm probably going to have to be turning XP on/off so I don't end up levelling out of my storylines.
Maybe I can roll a new concept and grind it up or something.

Sigh, I had to send my computer away to be repaired so I have no idea if I will get any 2xp goodness

Are you really, really sure? That's quite a risk to take. Of course it's not us taking the risk, so it sounds acceptable to me.

XP is good. Double XP is even better! Starting today at 9:00 AM PST (12:00 PM EST / 5:00 PM GMT / 6:00 PM CET), all heroes, villains, rogues and vigilantes will receive double the experience, double the influence, and double the prestige, for the entire weekend! That's right, from today until 11:59 p.m. Sunday, January 30, 2011 (Monday, January 31 at 2:59 AM EST / 7:59 AM GMT / 8:59 AM CET), you'll receive double the rewards for defeating enemies, completing missions, and collecting badges that give XP!
With double the experience, now is the perfect time to level towards 50, try out some new builds, and--for those of you with severe alt-itis--buff up some of those characters you've had on the backburner.
So what are you waiting for? Hop in game and start reaping double the rewards!
