Haven't seen 2x multiplier show up at end of match screen for last 45 minutes.
Is it coming soon? lol

[Chemie]

ditto. Wasted my 2x of the day to find out

(In past versions, they do not show 2x but award at double the rate)

Apparently it isn't working yet.

[Cyberassassin]

If it is not awarded yet I hope award xp retroactively. Holiday weekend = time to play.

I swear, PGI does a crap job of showing "double XP weekend". If it was just an extra line saying "Double XP Weekend Bonus", everyone wouldn't have to be confused.

Here's how you know Double XP weekend is working..

The base XP reward for a loss is 40.
When you lose during double XP weekend, the BASE REWARD is now 80.

If you're mathematically challenged, take screenshots. We can provide proof of how it is working. Multiplying by 2 should not be Lostech, but yet it is.

^This. And it's been this way for the last several, shouldn't be news.

I do think it's dumb. People like to know how much they got, it's just better PR to show it clearly.

Except it's been confirmed by Russ double xp is not working...

It isn't news, but it happens EVERY DOUBLE XP WEEKEND EVER.

Yes, but that would require to fix their end game screen visuals... but that would be rediscovering Lostech.

You know... Lostech.

Also, just in case you win a lot:

Base XP win = 250XP
Base XP win during double XP weekend = 500XP

Just because, math is so... Lostech.

Except if you bothered to check you would see that it is in fact not paying out at that rate (ie loss is 40 right now)

per Russ: "Yep - Double XP is screwed up, I am sorry. Short explanation is that the new rewards 2.0 broke the code path for double xp to work."

This is new. I like where this is going.

It's not a matter of game visuals - double XP is currently not working. See latest tweets from Russ:

I haven't played yet (been occupied with "an Office Space event"). At least the birds tweet.

I'm used to the "double XP doesn't work phenomenon". Forgive me if I haven't seen this every other time where every double XP event was actually working as intended.

[Cyberassassin]

Can we get a retroactive xp award? lol

I hope the extra plans are really going to make it up to me.

I have exactly 5 hours left on my premium until Dec 1 when the bonus premium time gets awarded from my Fire pack purchase. Because there is only a 2 day gap it doesn't make much sense to spend 750 MC to just buy a 3 day pack so I specifically budgeted from 1pm est to 6pm est to play today so I could master out my Warhawks while I still had premium time. A 3 hour patch is going to cut signficantly into that 5 hour window I have.

They should hit the Double Exp button over there at PGI.
