Whoohoo double exps

[BrunoSSace]

This is pretty awesome, now a few head shot mission to top it off? Looks like it will be a good weekend if I can spare the time.

If this Anniversary is supposed to be so great, then PLEASE EXTEND the Weekend Warriors Event which has been sabotaged by Multiple Update & HotFix Patches... *facedesk*

Perfect timing with all of the Hero mechs I just bought

[Hadesuwa]

One hell of a lackluster celebration if this is all you've got.

[CycKath]

Sadness I only have two each of the bonus XP/c-bill IS cockpit items to maximise XP or C-Bill gains

[GamerPro4000]

Thanks, I need to master my mech to play in Solaris division 7. This is perfect!

Only if it's coupled with the 'Do 1,000,000 damage with LRMs' event.

Actually, this would be a crazy awesome idea. Both teams, each having to protect a mobile VIP Mech. It would be just like protecting one in the "Half-Life: Counter Strike" Game Mod... I like it!

IKR, the weekend warrior event was better than this basically double xp event...

Is the double XP just for the weekend or for the duration of the sale?

[SleepyKraken]

Nice!! I like the c-bill boost!

I'm wondering about this too - I don't think the double XP and extra CBills bonus are active yet. Tested with IV4.

Not correct, GamerPro4000. Both the Event AND Sale are running all the way to the Midnight Start of Wednesday UTC Zone. A rather Grand Total of 6 Days total time.

Now, if PGI had extended the Weekend Warriors Event and allowed it to overlap with this New Event, in order to compensate for the issues they caused with that Now-Previous Event, would have made this one of their best Event releases. But alas they did not, and left people they blew sideways out in the cold.

Also, before anyone can ask, I'm NOT doing an Event Review & Rating this time. I've got a headache that's induced both by Real Life and the Previous Event, so nobody is nudging me into doing one, period. Just go enjoy the Boosted XP & (C-Bills) if you can, okay?

~Mr. D. V. "This particular New Active Event runs longer than you think." Devnull

[KodiakGW]

Yep, looks like not active Double XP. Just did three drops. First was a ROFLMAOStomp loss so I didn't bother looking. Next one was the same type but a win. Noticed a lot less XP than expected. Ran one more in my Viper C, NOPE! Just regular XP and 1st victory.

Well I thought the same as you, but then I wasn't getting double XP in my matches. Then I reread the post and found the quote below. PGI just presents their events in a confusing fashion since they bunch so many events together in one post.

Do the hero bundles count toward the loyalty rewards?
