Increased XP weekends

[William Antrim]

I know, believe me buddy. I have managed to successfully avoid most of the double xp gains in the last twelve months due a combination of work, more work, studying and generally forgetting to log on. However I am hoping for more of these random events in the future. Without reading anything into Triv's post - he did say special occasions - then I hope to get some more levelling in during the double xp times. In the meantime I will just level up on the sly tbh. Its boring in regants but its the best xp for now and it keeps me in the money.

It took 2-3 weeks for a few hours a time for the last one. About 50 hours total I estimate. Over 2-3 months its not that much

The only reason I do it though is because I already have one of all of the other chars capped.

If I was in the OP's position I could see myself quitting easily tbh. I agree with the frequency of these events increasing but as various people in the know have said, if you give away too much xp in these events people will stop logging in during normal xp times. That would be even more detrimental to the game.

This is my first time to play this weekend right now...grr. This is why I would love to have a heads up. Or maybe I should just not be playing games that require this amount of time anymore

Wow can you wish i was really rich of something, cos it's a double XP weekend now. RESULT!

Crappy result I had no time to play except for the next few hours. This is exactly why I would like to see if one is coming up ahead of time!!

Thank you for the increased XP gain this weekend, it was a most welcome suprise !

I been here for 6 years, playing religiously every day, and I can count the number of times double xp was on with one hand.
I find that really, really, really sad.

I would like there to be not only 2xp weekends, but at times servers and such have extended downtime, bump to 3x for 24 hours.

My reasoning is simple: (no particular order here)

1. We need to bring out some of the vets that we've lost over the years. THEY know more about NC than the WIKI (God bless then anyways) will ever have on site. We mid-timers to NC need that info and knowledge. Period.
In the real world, The only capital that matters is intellectual capital. So in the real, much too in NC.

2. Oh my God, the leveling grind to WoC is just that at the moment. Boring. When it takes a week and a half---a week and a half I say--- playing the same toon 10-12 hours a day to get there (and yes, I have), my thought is,
"What the hell am I doing this for exactly???!!???!....armor? Meh.
Nuff said, yes?

3. The fun in the game almost can't start until you are capped out. PvP or not. The weapons largely suck even at mid-high level (unless you carry 5slot guns), and only at the top with 3+ slots are fun anymore.
Bring back either the fun of greater weapon damage, or reward us for playing at all with good xp.

Thanks for listening. I hope the NC team sees the wisdom of my words and acts accordingly.

/signed for more XP events

/signed for more XP events or just a general increase to standard XP and currency gain.

wtf are you guys whining about all day...

leveling a charakter for woc in 2 weeks... whats the problem with that, btw your just dump if it takes that long atm. spy takes 24 hours, apu bout the the same, tank depends on what ur doing.

i hate that double xp shit, people just level then or start whining in forums when the next one is.
in nc1 it took you 2 to 3 month to cap a character (without even capping int on a monk) even when you were leveling in crp caves.

in my opinion they should stop the double xp, remove all mobs except the boss from regants bossroom, try to fix crp caves with all that walls.

No real new player needs the double xp, first of all they dont have the money then to get their weapons build and need to level with storebought shit... oh yeah that what ll keep the playing... till /50 with storebought... you should see how happy are new onces when they get their first weapon build.
Also they dont really care bout the leveling speed, they are running around and look at things, even when its not that good for xp/hour.

so stop whining when you already leveled one character you should know how to cap at least 1 character per weekend, otherwise read again from the top

Dasore, thats just possible if you abuse the AI on an expert level.

I would support a less mob concentration in e.g. regants, a restricted appearance of "spawnmobs" in a cave/grave and stuff and to compensate that increase the general xp by 20-30% so people getting their xp for solohunting without massive AoE/bomb/Barrel action with like 30 mobs in focus... Or just cut the damage down, so a AoE weapon can only do max damage to a maximum of 3 mobs. If there are more just divide the damage.

Just got back to the game and my play time is low, I could really use one of the xp weekends I have heard about. I am wondering where I can watch to see if any info is posted on upcoming xp weekends or days or anything!

I can only play on weekdays so xp weekends would be lost on me, and I don't really need them, and thought I should like to chime in anyway.... he he.

Would take years to level a droner.

No longer than any rifler or pistoler tbh. There are still single target drones in existence.

24 hours for a spy? Show me. Let me watch you do that.
I'm positively dying to see how you do that without exploits.

Whining? ...have you even read this forum? A lot of folks in this thread and the others are giving more 'thank you's' to Reakktor than whining.
And,...
It isn't 2 weeks dude. Its 4-8 atm, depending on how much time you can steal from the thing called Real Life. (For the low levels, I don't mind it so much really cuz I like to play the game, but....)
As for WoC--Jesus Tap-dancing Christ...
I've been playing the same tank every day for at least 8 hrs/day for the last 2 weeks slinging a 3 slot (2 dmg & 1 freq) CA plasma wave doing 330/shot and I'm still less than halfway there. That isn't the mobs I'm hitting either dude so don't give me that crap or tell me how hard I suck. I'm doing Regants. Easiest high-level XP on the map imho.

Whining?.... whining you say. ...Hmm...
The OP wasn't whining. Neither are folks 'whining' as you say from what I'm reading from anyone else in this thread. I see constructive suggestions by coherent, focused people who want this game to find the success it quite richly deserves.
I applaud them, even if I don't whole heartedly agree with all they say.

I'm guessing you read more into the OP based on your own baggage than you should have.
Jus' sayin'.



Wether or not you like or can stand 2xXP, a lot of folks in here do.
Like me.
So,... You're outvoted.

And yes, there's room enough of the server for all of us.

TL 150s till 33 or 32 on all stats, rhinoing firemobs with repair till dex/int 8X, get the right implants and use punisher in regants... and i have done it more than once.
