Double XP. Did you buy it?

Now that I've seen the XP Boosters, and seen that they're not Double XP but rather a 50% bonus, and about twice what I would've paid for *Double* XP - no thanks.
Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always be

That's pretty much why I bought mine, bought the 1 hour Double XP version so I could go from 38-45 in one ITF, combined with the fact it stacks with Patrol XP and I have a crapton of the experienced charges held.

In addition, if you fall in AE then you lose patrol xp instead of gaining debt - which is why my TW Toon used experienced whenever it was up and he had few than 3 bars of patrol xp. (And he STILL had 12 charges left at 50).

This for me. Mildly tempted, saw the price, and didn't bother thinking about it again.

Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.

Speaking about those experienced charges, I didnt realise that if you claim say 5 in one go then activate one that you have to wait the full 2 hours for it to recharge just to use another one.
However if you claim just one and then use it, you can then claim another one and instantly use that too and so forth.
Just some neat little thing that made me go "hey!"

I got a few, basically I just got what my remaining points would cover. I'll be saving them for ITFs only, I think.
When they DO go on sale again, I'd suggest giving us plenty of advance warning, and making sure that the ITF is the WST for that week. I honestly think that will get them more sales than doing it on some random week, especally if they give advance warning to give people time to plan for it.

Now? I don't see the point. I mean, if they have a 2XP weekend I won't kick about it- it's always fun to get a couple of quick levels, or give a boost to a character you like but who isn't exactly a model of efficient soloing. But most of my motivations for PL'ing have been addressed over the years- no travel power til 14? Now we have things like Ninja Run and Power Pool liberalization. life without stamina sucks? Voila! Inherent stamina. horrible stretches where you completely run out of content? Not any more. long periods in the higher levels where it feels like you're treading water? Hello, XP smoothing! Long story short, playing a low level character these days is close enough to playing a high level one that I no longer feel compelled to hit the Fast Forward button and skip the whole tedious experience. |

I go one further and get to 27 and slot basic IOs. Though I do sometimes cave and buy SOs at 22.
