This is pretty nice, maybe there's going to actually be enough people to shoot at for change. :rofl:

[SKYeXile]

Dis gonna be gud. level 78 now, don't have a great deal of time off on the holidays but level 100 might be possible, doubt ill get close by the 2nd though have to finish it in boring old 1x.

[Saintlycow]

Yay. Might reach lvl 30. Oh well, at least 1 cert per kill for us non members

Double XP seems SOEs excuse for everything, how does that fix anything? Like the servers go down for longer than usual, Double XP time! We're sorry for this patch ruining the game, Double XP!

It doesn't help the game in the long run, it just makes people advance quicker and become bored sooner.

it works for league

I don't know if it's going to make players bored sooner, anyone like myself that is narrowly focused runs out of meaningful means of spending certs pretty damn fast. I'm only BR29 and if I recall correctly from last time I played I'm sitting on over a thousand unspent certs. Character progression for it's own sake is never really going to be what this game is about.

It may encourage players to log in more over the holidays, but your right it's not going to fix the real things that ail this game, but big fixes/changes weren't going to happen over Christmas regardless.

TLDR: Yeah I'm bored with PS2 in it's current state as well, but not because of fast progression.

As long as it gets server player count to high, I'm very happy.

Medium and lower = harder to find any good fights anywhere but crown.

[Stanis]

I was getting about 4 times my normal xp per hour during the last XP bonus weekend.
A combination of tech plants and lots of players.


I hope we'll see some great fights over the holidays, I expect a lot of us have family commitments that will need to be rescheduled now.
Kids, santa will be last minute shopping on the 2nd of Jan now. YOu can have presents on the 12th day of xmas :P

[jassinlive]

Hory shit

[belch]

pffft...typical.

I am going to be out of town on EXACTLY those dates.

FML. lol

[Ysanne]

DoubleXP & Triple SC (at least for SOE Accounts) during the holidays?
Forget Christmas, I am playing PS2 instead.
Forever alone!

Just joking, I will log off for a few minutes to call my family on the phone when my ESF is on cooldown.

[Suitepee]

Sweet, now I can more easily obtain my 1k certs for flak armor! :D

Same here and many people in my outfit too.
Cool for those who can actually play.
Bummer for those who are out of town doing stuff like visiting family and the like as many people do over the holidays...

Well, either you have a RL or you are a high level gamer - you can't have both. :D

You can't kill someone who has no life.

Nerf RL!

[Dravin]

Ysanne, that might be the lowest K/D I've seen so far for this game. I know K/D doesn't really matter but that low? I mean c'mon..

[Rolfski]

Ysanne, that might be the lowest K/D I've seen so far for this game. I know K/D doesn't really matter but that low? I mean c'mon..
It's a common K/D ratio actually. Most players don't care about K/D, aren't that eager to avoid being killed , play more casual/ for fun, have no interest in kill farming or just plain suck at this game but enjoying it anyway.

And you do understand that for every player that kills more than getting killed there has to be a player on the receiving end of this stat, right?

Lmao well said!!

Everyone in my house is gone until the 29th and as of tomorrow evening I am off work until Jan 2nd so I will be knee deep in PS2 for a few days :groovy:

Cheers

Happy to be of service :D

[Hamma]

FYI, Logged in and the triple SC appears to be live right now.

[DirtyBird]

Hope its right, one of our guys logged in last time and due to a TZ mix up he cashed up 10mins too early. :doh:

Hehe, I just don't care if I die when I repair things. :groovy:

[The Messenger]

What is this game "real life" people are talking about? And why does everyone play it when it sounds like it sucks so bad?

[Shenyen]

My K/D is only slightly better (due to some regular nights as a gunner in a Liberator, if only my regular K/D was counted, it would possibly even lower) - but as a medic - i heal people!

I un-kill people by reviving them, so that they can keep on fighting.

If i have the choice between killing an enemy or reviving 2 players, dying in that action - i will choose being a medic and doing my job.

While you spent 500 Certs to bolster your shield, giving YOU the ability to survive longer (preventing your Ds) and of course killing more people that way (improving your Ks), I and most likely also Ysanne spent those 500 Certs on our healing/repair tools, helping OTHERS to get more kills.

K/D is totally irrelevant, as long as you get out of your factions warp gate and do your classes job!

[Helwyr]

That's funny because from my observation most revive to get loads of easy EXP. I play a Medic in zergy base fights ie biolabs, and I largely found myself reviving less and less because there's so many Medics scrambling to get the revive and often dieing in the process... I do revive the other medics though as the EXP farming Medics usually pass them by to cut down on the competition. Fortunately, Medics also have an awesome Rifle in which to kill the enemy and a self heal so my K/D doesn't get devastated in these meat grinder battles.

Well, not really if your K/D is bad it means your likely earning less certs than you are giving to the enemy. But yeah ultimately there's no real meaningful or relevant point to PS2 atm anyway..well beyond having fun... So if you're having fun reviving people and dieing all the time keep doing what your doing.:)

You can do it! :)

I'd be glad if I'd get at least 10 br's (30->40) during the double xp thing. Dunno why but I just end up idling at the warpgate like 50% of my ingame time :(

edit: seems I need to gain roughly the same amount of xp I have now to get to 40. Shouldn't be hard if I just play a bit more intensively / time efficiently during this time.

Yeah, the ones that revive you with with 10% life are only there to grab the exp, because they are too cheap to spend some Certs to gain at least the medical Tool to revive with 50 or 75% health.

But those with the final upgrade of the medical tool, those are the true medics.

Bad thing is, if a medic uses his tool after another medic already tried the revive, the second gets credit. I've had low level medics overwrite my max revive. The guy promptly gets gunned backed down before I can heal him to max health. It's even more frustrating to see the same idiots start reviving after throwing the revive grenade; that thing needs a shorter fuse.

[Realmofdarkness]

I read somewhere that you can get up to 400% xp with membership and boosts. how is that possible? im payed member= 50%, boost implant 50% = 100% xp. defending base 30% so 130%. very far from 400%

[Juryrig]

Avoid it.

Pure pay-to-win, and FULL of griefers and cheaters.

Yea I dont like playing that RL game either until they threaten to cut off the electric and the internet, then I gotta play RL. IT SUCKS :tear:

Double xp event:

2x exp + 2(50% booster) = 300% xp

2x exp + 2(50% booster + 50% membership) = 400% xp etc.

I.e I have 2x exp + 2(50%booster+25%membership= 350%
