Saw the title and thought we might be getting shark costume pieces. Another lame invasion is almost completely disappointing.

Guys, two requests please...

Please make it so that a person has the ability to solo, if it's missions or arcs. And two, NO invasion-style event like Rikti/Zombies/Nemesis/etc.

I like that you're doing more event style stuff, but please, have some consideration for those of us who like to play at odd hours and on less populated servers. Not every event should require people to team. If you want to team, you can, but throw the soloers a bone or two, please?

Is it too late to vote 'both'?

I love the idea of this.

I love the "double XP weekend" part of this.

I want to love the invasion part of this, but I just can't bring myself to care. Whee, another Rikti/zombie/Nemesis invasion with a different villain group. Another week where I'll have to go inside a building to use my remote /ah command, just in case. Yaaay.

But hey, double XP weekend! That's always good. And I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised to see it happening so soon after the last one; I kinda figured they might go away altogether, or at least be very few and far between, with XP boosters for sale on the market nowadays.

FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.

all i have to say is this will be epic win lol

the only thing that could make this better is if the sharks were wrapped in bacon lol

Sigh... and once again this happens while I'll be out of town. Seriously, I only leave 2, maybe 3 weekends a year, but at least half the 2XP weekends seem to happen when I do. Maybe next time...

are they gonna sell double xp boosters in the market again after that weekend?

as Ood Sigma said....We will sing to you, Doctor. The universe will sing you to your sleep. This song is ending. But the story never ends.

I can't wait for Captain Mako to flip out, launch himself at the Atlas blimp, and then take on Giant Monster Lusca.

Zwil, Hit Streak, or whoever else...

Can we get clarification on if the Double XP boosters we've bought in the store will stack with Double XP Weekend to create a "Quad-XP" event?

pohsyb: so of all people you must be most excited about the veats
Arachnos Commander: actually, I am
pohsyb: I mean you kinda were one already anyways ^_^

Historically, I do not believe XP multipliers have ever stacked with double XP events. I would assume they would not unless the devs explicitly stated otherwise.

If that's the case, I hope they make some kind of announcement to "not use" the XP boosters during the event.

Edit: Did we have XP boosters during the last event? I mean the 20% ones? I can't remember.

If it's an invasion, give us a badge, and a temp power to go with it. Something that's worthwhile to use. Like a single use Coralax summon or.. something.

Or a mako shoulder plushie. <3

If they did, it wouldn't be quad XP. Double XP Weekend plus a Double XP Booster would be triple XP. I'm not saying they will stack (personally, I doubt it) but, if they do, it would only be triple. It's like your base damage + 100% enhancement + 100% buff = 3x damage.

I have to agree with a few posters above. If this is anything like the Nemesis invasion, then for me it is a pass.
The double xp part is great. Just need something more than watching a slide show invasion thing.
