Nice rhyme

Is it just me, or are these alleged double XPs not actually double XPs?

The only thing that's being doubled for me is the amount awarded for the win/loss. I.e. you get 600 for a win and 200 for a loss instead of 300/100.

Nothing else is doubled.

So for me, "double XPs" are about like double heatsinks. Only 1.4x, not actually 2.0x. :-/

It's not alleged, but actual math.

I shouldn't use the phrase "trust me", but let's just say.. it really does work. It's harder to notice when you're not keeping track of the numbers like some accountant or Billy Beane for these things.

Arrgh... nevermind. I was apparently just having a really bad XP night. As Deathlike pointed out, all of the bonuses have been doubled but there's no indication that it has happened.

My XPs per match really didn't look like they'd been doubled, but I didn't check each individual bonus. The win/loss jumped out at me as being doubled, but the rest all looked pretty normal.

I was evidently just having a really bad XP night. My apologies to PGI... nothing to see here, carry on as usual. :-|

i misread that, lol

[Dom the Destroyer]

Is anyone else experiencing an issue with the xp gained at the end of the match not being added to your profile?

I've played several matches where I gained 2-3k xp but when I go into the skills tab, the xp I already had hasn't gone up

Please help!

Axeman: Production server downtimes are pretty normal, consider security patches which usually require a reboot. What it sounds like you're referring to is unexpected crashes by unknown cause, yea that's sloppy on production, but that's what multiple environments are for.

Ryoken: Normally production servers are patched during non-peak hours, typically early in the morning. But MWO services worldwide clients so their non-peak hours might be at strange times. Regardlless, they would probably need to pay someone overtime for that role as I doubt they have a graveyard shift programmer. How they're doing now is alright considering their situation.

First, it's Axefan, not Axeman. Geeze! :-P

Second, you are referring to non-critical systems. I'm not suggesting that a game server should be designed with so many redundancies and fail overs that it never goes down. I'm only stating that it can be done. Adding that level of stability to a game system would be cost prohibitive.

I don't need XP, I need c-bills. Atlases and Highlander don't grow on trees.

Pretty much. Though I suppose I could stack more onto the 6 figures a few of my mechs are carrying around.

[Olunn]

sweet, good news. now if I could only stop getting booted back to the mechlab each time I try to launch...

[Appogee]

XP doesn't look doubled to me. Win/loss XP is, but other XP doesn't seem to be. Is anyone else experiencing this?

[Takeshi Kitano]

Thx PGI really appreciated

Good times. Now I just need to get the wife off my back.

Other people have been claiming this, but all of my XPs have been doubled. Of course, all of these things are basically anecdotal. You should definitely e-mail support@mwomercs.com and ask them for a breakdown of your recent XP earnings and whether or not they can confirm the behavior. They are very good at handling these types of issues and they have the data related to your account. Way better than the people here who may be perceiving the same issues, but haven't looked at the XP totals closely enough (or maybe aren't familiar enough with them to notice the doubling).

Cheers!

[Appogee]

Thanks.

I'll play for a couple more hours and see if I perceive the situation to be the same after that.
