Since AE's inception, all AE content does NOT give DXP during the DXP event.



Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

It hasn't counted before - and stacking XP boosters in the AE might melt the game

DXP worked for the first DXP weekend after Issue 14 -- it was crazy.

Since then - No...

XP Boosters do work in AE, unless that was changed recently...

XP Booster + Patrol XP does not work, but can be activated a the same time.

Patrol XP isn't on during DXP weedend

XP Booster + DXP weekend working would be nice -- I hope it does actually stack properly.

If you look up-thread you'll see the official answer to that.

So happy I saved up some boosters then for moments like these. Time to get a 50 at last!

Need to put in for some vacation days.

And create new characters. Come on Issue 22.

Last DXP weekend, if I remember right, the WST was the Apex TF - which meant that the 2x XP didn't count (it being a lvl 50 TF).

Will be interesting to see what WST they set for that weekend when they next update the list. Here's hoping it's something like Sister Psyche's (although it'll probably be one of the Respec Trials. Again )

For those speculating as to whether I went running down the halls, ringing a bell, shouting "Double XP for all!" after posting the in thread the other day...



You'll never know...

We've actually been planning this for awhile. You can thank Black Pebble for it. I think he needs to level some alts.

Ignoring anyone is a mistake. You might miss something viral to your cause.

Is Black Pebble actually Nemesis in disguise? In other words, is this some kind of Nemesis plot?

Now that you mention it ... there is a certain resemblance ...


It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...

This makes me wonder why no Dev has ever choosen Nemesis as their Redname.

I'd jump at the chance personally, as the toymaker is hands-down one of my favorite pieces of CoH lore.

How do XP boosters work, anyway? I never used one before. Arent they only 25% for an hour? Or is my memory off? Can you activate more than one at a time on yourself?

Thanks,

Lewis

Yeah it's 25% for an hour but no you cannot activate more than one at a time they do not stack.

Considering that I22 has been in open beta for almost 2 months and the current Spring Fling event ends on February 27th this news of a DXP scheduled for March 16-19 makes it that much more promising that I22 will hit by March 6th or 13th so that everyone will be able to DXP their new characters.
