I hope the dark control and beast sets are out in time for this.

Both are in white on my screen.
And you folks need to lay off Black Pebble.

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.

Hmm, unless I'm being spectacularly daft, it looks like it's the Moonfire / Operative Renault TFs over the DXP w/end:

Which are both nice mid level TFs (23-28 and 25-30 respectively). This information I got from the announcements thread| March 13th to March 19th - The Kheldian War (from Moonfire in Striga Isle) / The Temple of the Waters (from Operative Renault in Sharkhead Isle) |
Although it looks like ParagonWiki lists the WST for the w/end as Tin Mage - I wonder if the order was changed to what's now listed on the official thread (or at least what's showing as I write this
) ?

Yes, it was changed just earlier today. You can see that Freitag edited it a few hours ago.

I know the purchasable Double XP temp powers that they just started testing on the beta server this week specifically say they do NOT double Incarnate XP...

I just thought of something. While everyone is indeed focused on the glorious Double XP weekend...they seem to forget that it also doubles inf and prestige gain. Which makes me wonder, do the windfall and prestige boosters stack with the double inf and prestige as well? Or is it only the XP booster that stacks?

No Double xp for Incarnates, and no double xp for any of my toons who have a blue bar (and never can use it up in one night). Double Xp Weekend is Doubly disappointing.
I was really hoping I might have one toon be able to finish filling their incarnate bar on one play through of the arc so as at least one of my toons would be able to get more than alpha, but since I can't see myself doing the arc more than once per toon, seems that won't happen for a long time.
And since they didn't bother to put out the new classes, the only time I use up a blue bar before day of play is over, almost no benefit to this at all. Add to that the Insanely over priced Munchkin this has been one seriously disappointing week (and that's just the game, outside the game has been worse, I was really hoping for this one bright spot...). Oh well disappointment is what this game seems to be doing most often these days, with a few exceptions, like the late-to-the-party staff power.
Since the change to double xp weekend becoming never-ending blue-bar weekend I get almost no benefit.
True Alt-o-holic, so... way too many to even think about listing =p

If by blue bar you mean patrol XP, then you still got double XP for those toons.| No Double xp for Incarnates, and no double xp for any of my toons who have a blue bar (and never can use it up in one night). Double Xp Weekend is Doubly disappointing. |
Patrol XP only works for debt during Double XP times. That's why it may not appear to move or be never ending. Double XP doesnt use patrol XP at all for the granting of extra XP.
Patrol XP is less of a bonus than Double XP (1.5 iirc), and Double XP weekends also give double Inf/Prestiage.
It was also supplied for free.
I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):
I just heard something on Help channel I liked - how about changing it up and giving us Double-Drop Weekends? A few thousand extra recipes and salvage would help the WWs prices a lot, I'd bet - and a few extra purples around wouldn't hurt either.
So, uh, any explanation as to why the double XP is being turned off an hour earlier than advertised?

I think it's technically not. The time listed is 10 AM EST, which I believe is 9 AM EDT.

Nope. Spring forward, 10 AM EST is 11 AM EDT. :P That was my initial thought too, though. Maybe the server clock's just set wrong?

Great game while it lasts.

Ah, yes. I live in Indiana and we just started getting forced to cope with the pointless irritation of DST a couple of years ago, so I always forget which way the meaningless adjustment goes. |

In that case, I take umbrage at this outrageous early cut-off! Umbrage, I say!

Good news is got a Purple drop seconds before servers went down!!!

I couldn't agree more. It's especially irritating when you have online friends in the southern hemisphere and are trying to coordinate RP times with them because the time differential is always changing on you. :|

oh well..
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-
I find your lack of signature disturbing.
It's so much drama. Not mad, just disappointed.
Still a clock is a clock. 7am is 7am regardless of DST especially when spelling out specific time zones.
It's not like this is year one.
To make this right: I insist on free exp when logged off and the ability to acquire an exp enhancing ability.

Great game while it lasts.
This is about the best color I can find that's hard to read on both skins...
