Double XP Weekend Events

I've looked here and there for the events on Liberty for 2xp weekend.

Presently, we have a Hamidon Raid on March 17th, Saturday at 7:30 pm Eastern time.
We also have Scrapper Saturday at 9PM and and MSR scheduled for 930 pm that evening as well.

If you folks promise to bring your characters level 35 and up, I'll host an Extra MSR for everyone (until the league is full) at 6:00 pm Eastern.

That will give us time to get to the hive for the hami raid.

Also, I hope to run a ugt after the hami raid in RWZ.

Well, I'll be making sure the lower level content gets some love, even if it means forming a pug up on a moments notice.

The Drowning in Blood Trial may not have lost it's charm by the 2xp weekend, especially since it seems more intriuging than DFB in terms of story, as well as game-play, so I might run lots of those. Positrons, Synapses, whatever, I'll run them so we can get the new lowbies we're sure to have come Tuesday out of the lower levels asap.

PS - I also promise to bite my tongue as much as possible everytime someone forms an itrial or 45+ only team. Not *literally*, since if last 2xp weekend was any guide I'd lack a tongue by Saturday night. Never ceases to amaze me when people ignore double xp to run incarnate content, which isn't affected by it...

Can't forget those DBTs... - Drowning in Blood Trials. Which will be heavily ran.

I do still think we should get something of a Praetorian superteam together. Those of us that don't have a Praetorian toon, or that want another and can't stand stuffing through the good, albeit slow content.

With the new powersets out, Praetoria would give us a good chance of learning them, instead of DfB > DiB runs I'm sure are going to be all over the place. Maybe start Friday when people get off work, or something so that it dont end up interfering with Scrapper Saturday.

What do you guys think?

I will most likely spend a majority of the double XP weekend earning INF/Prestige on my 50s as frankly I have enough 50s collecting dust already and besides, leveling in this game is already stupidly easy.

That's not to say I won't create the alt here or there to group with my friends/SG mates who do the same. But most times after double XP has ended said characters sit unplayed on my character select screen for months until I finally get sick of looking at them and hit the -delete- key.

In the interest of trying to help folks have a feeling of community here on Liberty, I did make a character today, and passed up the tutorial. I'll keep him there and form teams, or join them as needed.

I also have a lot of characters that are dormant a good bit, but as my 50's get all decked out incarnate wise, I'll work on the lowbies some more.

I just learned that the dom with ice/ice powersets has an ice circle AoE. I'm anxious to see how that works with my playstyle.


Oh, I'm sure you know, Mystic, but there's a 100k prestige bonus when the goldside toons join your group. (inf earning will still be weak, but I'm pretty sure you really don't have any inf concerns)

I'll be up for whatever...only 2 toons that aren't lvl 50 so far. My lvl 39 Time/BR Def. and my lvl 25 Ice/TW Tanker (Villain though).


I'm not sure if I want to make a new toon even with Dark control/affinity/assault sets...none of those sets really appeal to me.


If Staff Fighting comes out before Double XP weekend though.... ^_^

I'm going to treat DBL XP as any other weekend, I just want to be doing something.

@Tax E - RIP CoH 2012

And please please please bring some 50s to the msr. These msrs tend to go rather bad on doublexp when 65% of the raid is level 20s. If you die don't wait 10 mins for a revive, hospital!

There's a simple solution, and it's likely to be inflammatory for some. Because vanguard merits aren't earned until level 35, there are several folks who feel that the msr should be only for members of Vanguard - those with the badge that entitle them to be able to earn Vanguard Merits.

Simply, politely ask them to switch to a toon level 35 or higher.

And, obviously, without at least 6 level 50s to lead each team, the msr can't really happen with any degree of fun - unless some would count team wipes as fun.

I have a bunch of lowbies, so I'll be running some Synapses and Moonfires etc.. I also have 2 Praetorians (both around 13-15) so if anyone wants a Gold Team hit me up.

im gonna try and show up with a lvl 50 healer (what i usually run for MSR) so that should help.

I still have Semnai (That lvl 12 Psi blaster I was trying to solo awhile back- o_0) hanging around in Praetoria... 'Wouldn't mind a bit of teaming, even at lower levels, to push her closer to an escape from the place. It made perfect sense to start her there, given the whole "former seer" gig, but... sheeze. I had no clue at the time just how tough it would be to get her out on her own. Soloing a blaster Primal-side is dicey enough, but doing it in Praetoria is just pain-in-the-rear material.

Re: the ship raids... I would prefer to bring the Nemissary or the Bride, given that my goal for the weekend is to get the two of them from the mid-40s to 50, but it's starting to sound like I'd get the evil eye for bringing them instead of someone who would CONTRIBUTE MOAR!!1! by virtue of being "finished" already. You're likely to end up with my Empath or Force Field defender.
