Why does this seem as-backwards?

It would be better to have double c-bill weekend now, to get c-bills to purchase modules and upgrade the new phoenix mechs everyone will be getting on Tues. Next weekend should be double XP, to help level up the new shinies.

Common sense seems lacking.

I'd have to actually decide what mech I'd like to grind.

And this statement is why I'm having less and less fun with this game. It's so focused on the grind rather than actually fun game play. I love Big Stompy Robots shooting each other with death beams and bullets the size of lunchboxes as much or more than most people.... But is it wrong that I'm craving more after over a year of nothing but grind? Time for a break maybe.

This is nonsense. Please disable the week of the double gain! It really is frustrating... I read it this morning, and having quadruple and double experience for five days is just wrong, making us quit for a week.

Imo the grind is prerequisite for the fun . If you dont have to grind for it it doesnt feel like an achievement. If you would get all mechs with all the xp and all items maxed out just now then what? 2 weeks of triing around and then its boring. So i give, that we need more game modes in order to make the matches more diverse and more fun, but still the grind factor is positive for motivation imo.

Oh Fudge! And I just spend the whole week leveling my victors...

What's better than the regular amount of XP? DOUBLE XP!
They say that two heads are better than one, snake eyes come in pairs, and pizza's better when it's two-for-one. Now is the time to DOUBLE the trouble! Starting Friday October 11th at 10am PDT you'll receive XP at twice the speed!
Don't miss out because this is redonkulous and ends on October 15 at 10am PDT.

WHAT:

• All XP earned is doubled!

WHEN:

Friday October 11th 10am PDT
TO
Tuesday October 15th 10am PDT

If you guys want to make some money off of me....make it double XP conversion weekend. Do that and I will drop $100 spot. (Since I have mastered every mech...the extra XP does nothing for me...but double conversion is a different story)

Maybe, just maybe it's not all about you guys with all the exp you need and it's about the newer players who might just see this as something good like we did when it happened first time around. Spoilt children complain about the things they are given for free instead of being gratefull for being given something for free.
Let the childish trolling begin.

I'm not even sure I'd enjoy this double XP weekend. I'd have to actually decide what mech I'd like to grind.

I'd rather have more C-bills to grind for.

I do not agree with you often at all, but this I can get behind. Granted, I do understand that they are hoping to drive up MC sales the following week with the release of PP. But I would rather pay for MC to get a prem time boost to dbl cbills in preparation for the release of PP. I like the grind of xp on each chassis, it helps me to really know my chassis, to help me decide what to keep for the long run, and what to get rid of.

except they are a business who want to make money as any business should.

c bills now means less standard variants sold next week and dubble xp next week would mean less MC sold to get leveled up mach's before playing a game.
makes a lot of sense really.

Much appreciated, thanks! See you all on the "battlefield"

[Neresco]

Well you musn't even double C-Bills but 1.25 or 1.5 C-Bill weekend and you will have double or triple your friends PGI :-P.

I bought a set of Jagermechs instead of a set of Orions and I am doing my best to finish mastering them before I have a dozen Phoenix mechs dumped in my lap. I think I made the right decision based on the way Orion seems to be performing in the field.

I won't have any Phoenix mech because basically only the BM has a future from a competitive POV (imho of course).

I deeply dislike the current ballistic meta as I dislike the Jager, I can't stand those huge side torsoes + the basically mandatory xl engine so I've scrapped that chassis from my list since its introduction and even this metagame isn't making me change idea. Anyway good luck with the double exp you'll certainly elite or master them pretty fast

[dario03]

Cool. To bad I literally just finished mastering all my less favored mechs Only ones I have left now are my Victors but I'm half way through them too. Definitely put me in the make it double or even just 1.5x cbill group. Or if this came a week later so I could use it to run through the upcoming locust that would of been nice.

Double XP events are my favorite even. However, I think it would have worked better if it was after the Phoenix Project Mechs get in game. Not, immediately before.

Obviously, they're planning for us to earn lost of XP this weekend, and then spend MC to convert it to GXP for our Phoenix Mechs.

They are a money-making venture, after all.

[anfadern]

It is time to play some od mechs this weekend!
Beware!

[rascje]

It seems that we all agree:

PGI, give us your credit-card!

[dario03]

So does the x2 first win still apply? Will we get 4x on the first win of the day for a mech?
