Double XP not working for me. Did on Friday not the last two days. Pretty annoying.

It's working - the game doesn't put the terms "2X" anywhere on the end match screen, but the values are double what you normally get.

Take Lots of saviour-kills/assists multiply by 2 for the Double XP weekend, multiply by 2 for the daily-2x-XP and multiply by 30% for premium time = 12.000 XP YAY!
12k on my Thunder (1 kill, 8 assists 461 dmg),
10k on my Wolverine (3 kills, 7 assists, 814 dmg)
8k on my Griffin (1 kill, 8 assists, 355 dmg)
Around 4-7k XP for a victory is damn cool.

Thank you for 2x XP!

Now just one more round for these damn Thunders to finally get them mastered tomorrow...

i dont know how you could complain about double XP, it brings out alot of mechs that people own but put off getting XP for and it helps out people leveling new mechs.

i fully basiced and got enough for about 3/4 elites on my ember i just picked up in just a few hours. tonight i plan on getting enough to fully XP it out.

im also raking in the $ because i saved the 7 days of premium time from xmas and now i got that turned on for this weekend and when the cbill firestarters come out next week!

Luckily I had 6 mechs all with basics unlocked and starting speed tweak on before this weekend. 3 shadowhawks and 3 jagers. I was even able to get some of my victors i bought a few weeks ago on the way to their module slot. Now I just have to grind cbills with my new Firebrand to make up for the XL engine I accidentally bought not paying attention. OOPS!

I must be doing something wrong, I just had a game with 3kills, 9assists, 9spotting assists, and 972 damge and it was only 8k after daily bonus.

The biggest bonus you can get are saviour kills.
These are whenever you help kill someone that attacks a friendly mech (crit or below some %, not sure) in the last 10s of its live.
If your whole team is crippled and about to die and the enemy is scratching everyone with a laser and everyone will hit him and kill him, you all would get a load of XP. (if it is not split like assists)

Assists XP and CBills is split between everyone helping percentage wise for how much you damaged the target.
So here you would get more, if you destroy the most armor and components.

It's a lot of luck involved and most of my games are around 4-6k. The mentioned 8-12k were my best games on Friday.

It encourages focus firing too! Savior kills are where it's at.

As much as I'm bothered over some of PGI's past decisions, it floors me that people actually posted here to complain about a free gift. Too bad they weren't raised back when I was a child and parents knew how to smack that entitled punkish behavior out of us long before we could embarrass ourselves so publicly...

Double XP isn't a "Free gift"

It's an attempt to cause you to make more than you need of an ingame "currency." one that can be converted with real world money.

They are trying to get you to stock up on XP so you have a reason to buy MC to convert that XP to GXP.

It's why they ALWAYS do double xp weekends, and NEVER do double C-bill weekends.

I wouldn't say 'always'. These events are kind of rare.
I think these are great for those with lots of mechs still between elite and master and are a pain to grind (hello, wolverine!). I give thanks for double XP.

Remember: Any 'Mech you can't level on an Double-XP weekend needs to be sold off.

I'm using double XP weekend to level up specific Mechs that I haven't unlocked the 21,500 XP module slots yet. It also generates GXP twice as fast.

It is, indeed, a free gift that's meant to help us reach end-game content faster without spending cash.

I refute you, and all who subscribe to your newsletter.

[wanderer]

Yeah. This was my "let's get extra module slots" weekend. Also, Wolverines up to elites.

No tears shed, twas useful.

I used the Double XP to grind out some of the Phoenix/Saber mechs that I'm not greatly interested in playing.

I like to complete all of the Elite skills, to get the 2X bonus on the Basics... Then I'll just complete Master naturally as it happens.

I do think that an occasional Double XP weekend is a good thing to bring lapsed players back into the game and give them an incentive to check out game progress. Hoping, of course, that they will get back into the game and stick around.
