Thanks, PGI!

Double XP doesn't seem to be giving credit today Monday.

so sad.....was home all weekend and couldn't even take advantage of the 2x weekend as my internet has been going up and down every 10-15 minutes since thursday night

I had a whole list of mechs to work on as well. I think I was able to get 4 rounds in all weekend and get my hellbrigers into elite territory.

A nice event. I was able to really make some good progress on my heavy mechs! Thanks PGI

Man. Since Attila: Total War came out I've abandoned all other avenues of entertainment. Kinda bummed that I didn't check the forums this last week. Would have loved me some Double XP. And I'm digging the heck out of that Q&A.

From the DOUBLE XP WEEKEND FAQ

Q: What am I going to do with all that XP?
You could level your 'Mechs, unlock some Modules, or convert it to GXP!

Don't all modules require that you unlock them before you can use them? Or don't you use modules?

You unlock your modules with ... ?
If you look at the quote of the FAQ again.

Thanks for the weekend off from events.
I skip these, I prefer unlocking benefits the normal way.

How does it work if you disconnect after you get killed , but before the end of the game.

Do you get xp, do you get c-bills?


There are many topics, but no PGI answer.

Not entirely accurate, other than in the same sense that my spare hundreds of thousands of combined XP sitting around on 'mechs I've already mastered are also wasted.

If I play this weekend, it's likely to be things I've already mastered. You call it 'wasting', but generally speaking I'm just not going to benefit noticeably from a double-XP weekend no matter how you or I or anyone else slices it, and a lot of players won't be able to do so in the long run either. You don't need to understand how C-bill earnings stack up against XP earnings to know that, but I thought it was important to point out that that comparative rate is why this is true.

Not having much (if any) in the way of spare real-world money right now and seeing no attraction in converting XP (largely because that also costs real-world money), my point is mostly that the event is wasted on me (and some others), and of considerably less benefit to other nearly free and any free players than a C-bill event would be, and maybe a C-bill event or premium time event should be considered instead next time? Particularly with Upgrade and Engine prices being what they are.

Edit:

Also, it's not like I haven't got other things I might want to do this weekend (shame on me for having hobbies other than MWO, right?), so I'm not exactly crying a river over here.

So basicly, you are saying it's not worth playing the game without some sort of carrot?

[Bluttrunken]

Nice event. Relaxing change to the more tiresome events in the last couple of weeks.

I finished so many module slot/master effienciencies!

Made me so addicted again that I bought a Kintaro Mastery Bundle :x

[Harbinger Prime]

Sorry for the dumb question but is the normal exp for a win 250 and on the double exp weekend 500?

This is nice... will be an easy weekend of leveling up my new and not often played mechs... thanks.

however

Most of my mechs have been maxed out for a long time and have mass amounts of unused XP.
Shure wish there was a way to convert Mech XP to C-Bills.
100 to 1 or even 1000 to 1 whould be better than nothing.

I was thinking the same thing the other day. Might be a nice idea for a weekend challenge, or something.

Double XP, not working for me this morning.

[Deathlike]

I'm going to hazard a guess that it ended Monday 9AM PDT.

Besides being a day wrong on this, they probably forget Daylight Saving Time changes.

Or it could all be part of a giant insidious PLOT!

Maybe someone turned it back on. Frankly, I don't care at the moment.

[Crotch RockIt]

It wasn't working for me an hour ago....

[Triordinant]

Why is the Double XP not working? It's 4 pm PST Monday and it's supposed to last until 10 am PST Tuesday.
