Is the double XP shown on the battle summary screen?

If it like the last ones - the base values are just doubled (IE it will show 300xp for each savior kill)

Why would that be a reason to stop playing? More opportunities to make you feel like a badass and getting some more cbills+xp.

I'm not getting double xp. I've been gaining at my normal rate.

[HimseIf]

So if someone launches a UAV over the other team and their team switches targets 100 times collectively and use an LRM a few times the person who launched it can recieve as much as 5000 XP for doing nothing but using a $40,000 cbill consumable and siting back watching?

Yes please, use target lock and level up those mechs

And with that (and two fantastic matches) I finally mastered my GRN-3M, though don't know if im inclined to play enough to finish elite/mastering 1S and 1N.

[Flaming oblivion]

Check the values - there is no notice in game - but the base values are doubled - IE 600 for a win and 200 for a loss

I would very much prefer some Double C-Bill weekends. Are any of those scheduled anytime soon?

[WVAnonymous]

I finished basic on the Ember in 3 games.

I understand concerns about Sunday night TV lineups getting in the way of a few hours of Double XP fun.
I personally use the cross-eyed multiple monitor approach to such concerns. DVRs are also a good choice.

Also, to those wondering: Yes! Double XP weekend is now in effect!
Our reboot went off at the designated time without a hitch. While we will always make an effort to give conservative estimates in case further work is needed: A smooth reboot of our servers should take no more than a few seconds and should only inconvenience players attempting to login at that moment or already logged in.

Are we supposed to see something in the XP section at the match end indicating we have gotten double xp? Or does it just apply without telling us? Since I have not played for 4 months I dont really recall the xp values and cannot tell if im getting double xp or not. Thank you.

[Zoose]

I haven't noticed double....I think its a lie just like the CAKE!

[Alex Warden]

Glad to see you supporting the Assault-Sync-Meta-Droppers, the few players who benefit from these events. I'll see you when the launch module arrives. Just kidding, i'll probably check back before then to see how the Clan mechs look in game.

No visual indicator at this time. Though this is a nice-to-have suggestion for future editions of the event. Basically for this weekend only we have doubled the base values of XP gains.

Thank you for your reply! Much appreciated

[SemperDie]

Nice, scheduling double XP over Mother's Day weekend. That won't cause any marital strife.
Should we expect to see something similar for Father's Day?
