Double XP is best XP.

It's only sad that there are no presents this time for converting XP.

FallGuy0815 gets a Prize!

[AnimePops]

Really?! I don't get paid until Tuesday!

Edit: and now after reading the actual post I feel stupid. HAHA

[Mikayshen]

Why is it that every Double XP weekend also coincides with me not being available that weekend? It's a conspiracy I tell you!

[Jonathan8883]

If you go to the Mechlab and sort colors by "Basic", Basic Purple is not one of the choices. I didn't even know it could be purchased for C-bills.

[D V Devnull]

Well, first off, thanks for the Double XP Weekend. That will help with training some Mechs, provided I don't get railroaded by Real Life.

On other notes... The "Purple Things Sales" on the WebSite News Post, at least as of the time I'm typing this, appears to have had it's Table squished through a trash compactor. Could that please be stretched back out wide, like how the Forum News Thread Post shows it?

And catching up... again...

It's strange, isn't it? There's no "/tournaments" page for it either, at this time. There's also none for reaching certain amounts of Double XP Earned during this Event either.

Meh, I could poke fun at this, but I'm not. I really don't think there's a conspiracy going on, so calm down. PGI's timing just seems to really stink versus your Real Life in this regard.

Try again... "MechLab > Camo Spec > All > Colors > Basic", and look for it there as one of five options. If you still don't see it, run the MWO Repair Tool (or if on Steam, Verify Cache Integrity) to check the condition of your installation.

[IronEleven]

Damn, Marik Violet isn't purple enough to be on sale.

[Dee Eight]

How about the Yard Sale warhorn ? Its purple. I keep one permanently installed in my legend killer.

Supersized no mechbay sale also.

I can't log into the game just now to check, but this tells me that there's also currently a sale with a 30% discount on all champion mechs. PGI: would you consider highlighting that line (maybe even give it its own section in the announcement) so that it's more noticeable to the community? Thanks.

[El Bandito]

Pleione is the best purple, and it is not on sale?

[Mikayshen]

So I'm not seeing them on sale...

Edited by Mikayshen, 19 April 2018 - 07:33 PM.

[Ery]

C-Bill mech sale pls :-)

[w4ldO]

i'm still sticking to it: XP is a bad thing and should be removed.

without XP in the game you could sell more mechs (cbill sink) and mechbays (mc sink)
also players might dump cbills into mechs they now would never touch

[Pain G0D]

No purple hero mech sales ?

[Audacious Aubergine]

Wait, no sale on the Ultraviolet? Bit of a missed opportunity!

PGI's Event Handlers did some serious CopyPasta... Unfortunately, they didn't take the time to proofread and clean things up properly for actual posting. It looks like many of us are going to be tripping on the text for some time to come. There is NO Mech Sales going on right now, sorry.
