Dobule xp wtf

[Tamyrlin]

They think its a good idea with a Double XP weekend while the game is still unplayable since the latest "update".

Also irritated that i didnt find out until now, how are you supposed to know? I follow all their twitter accounts and PSU site and the official site and forum posts and even logged in every few hours to get some passive certs and didnt read this anywhere?!?

[Gonefshn]

If you looked at the news on PSU you would have known about it.

[Chewy]

First day of GU4 there was a talk in forums about the FPS problems. I know this because I started the first one on PSU and Hamma even tweeted it out. Besides, twitter is a horrid place to get information. 150 letters if just shit for telling anything past what you had for lunch and shouldn't be used to gather feedback. Lurk some forums and you'll see all you need to know.

I do agree that having a 2x XP thing during this crap isn't that smart but it is clearly a MLG gig planed long ago. So there wasn't much of anything that could have stopped the event. If it was pushed back after the FPS drops was fixed it would have been one hell of an "Im sorry" though.

In any case Im taking this time to things I can't do while playing an online game. Like upload a few videos, listen to some great music, and work on a bit of my gaming backlog. The 2x XP doesn't matter all that much to me as it can make the game feel like a huge grind when everyone only wants to grind as much farm as possible and not play the damned game as it is meant to be played.

I play PS2 for the war. Not to get XP.

Sorry for the rage-post guys. Saw it in the news now sneaked in at the end of a "pay to win" news-story (normally don't read those).

It would be nice if the next GU is released in the beginning of a week as they've had a bit of a habbit of messing them up. That would give them a few days to get it sorted for the weekend when the servers are busy.

[Neutral Calypso]

I hope they give another double xp weekend soon... as a way to apologize to the playerbase for that messed up laggy buggy patch we are dealing with.

I'd like to enjoy my double xp without having to deal with nonfunctional medi-kits. The medkit is my preferred utility item when playing heavy. -.-

[bpostal]

I'd much rather they just do away with double XP. The sheer amount of hackers and other bullshit I've run across this weekend doesn't even come close to an enjoyable time.

[Koadster]

I hope they don't do double exp. With boosts I was getting 300 exp for normal rez, 480+ for kills. 2000 exp for a single tank... I've now got 2000 certs sitting there gathering dust because I have nothing to buy, not even any guns are jumping out at me to buy.

Instead of a 'here's double exp to say I'm sorry' I'd rather. Here we are putting a lot of time to fix these big bugs we made in gu04.

You should Consider reading every new "Lastest News" item that pops up in the list in the Launcher. It's what it's there for.

That's my point! Another double exp after the bugs are fixed.

[Qwan]

Im down for another XP weekend, I played Friday, Saturday, and Sunday this weekend. Racked up a whole lot of certs........

Hello my name is Qwan..... and I am a cert Hore :D

Not a fan of Double XP promotions, or XP boosts of any kind. I prefer to take my time ranking up in a game; prolongs the interest.

What do you have to aim for once you have reached BR100 and have certed everything that you want?

[Mastachief]

I maxed my planetside 1 toon in december 2003..... played the same toon right up to summer 2012.........

Wheres the game is ps2 give it a rest on the cert side of things and give us some meaning.

[psijaka]

Much as I like PS2, I couldn't see me hanging around that long with the game in it's current state. As you say, give some meaning to it all.

The problem is that the double xp goes towards BR - it should only be double certs.

Not everyone like double certs but many people do and they drive excitement and activity - which are the life blood of an MMO.

On the other have there is no reason to tie BR to double exp(or boosts and membership for that matters.)
It would have been nice if there was 1 somewhat accurate measure of what you did in the game.

Impossible! Agree that all the primary stats are pretty meaningless; XP/min included.

I prefer to look at things like number of facilities captured/defended, or Vehicles destroyed. Or number of kills with specific weapons (over 2K now with dual Falcons :D).

[CraazyCanuck]

Never encountered lag like I did this weekend defending Howling Pass against that TR push Sunday afternoon on Matherson. But I think it may have been more the numbers involved then the patch itself for me but can't say for certain. Even though it was laggy, it settled down after we pushed them back to the Upper cliffs toward Crimson.

May have been the largest battle I have experienced to date and it was an excellent back and forth there for a while and the hill/cliff fighting was fierce.

[Baneblade]

I missed out cause my router crapped out on Friday.

[Hamma]

The announcement was also on the Official Forums and even via a Mass e-mail to PS2 players.

[Bunk]

I made over 1 milion EXP this weekend but it was hard due to all the bugs and huge stutter.

I hope they throw in another one when they actually FIX the game.

Nothing is perfect - but its fair that the Devs try to make subjective measure that takes into account and weighs your achievements in the various avenues the game affords.

It's not aiming for anything. I would rather have everything open from the start and still hang around the game for years, if the game is good. I played cs for seven years back in the days and that game has nothing to aim at. Even now I can go back and enjoy it although there are a lot of hackers. So my interest is in playing a good game and having fun. Ranking up is just the necessary evil that this new generation of games has, for me at least.

[VeCoVet]

Last night I was getting 42,000 points per hour defending a Biolab. VS already had the continent won, they just really really really, really wanted to take every last territory on Esamir again. Ended up with 236 certs gained in 1 hour and 14 minutes according to the TAB page when they finally took it. Thanks VS!

yeah this^

it's nice to have medics around, but theyr not always reliable, so med kits are my bread n butter. frustrating weekend to say the least.

[Empra]

Wow.

Ok we have all established OP must have no eyes or internet connection to not hear about this.

Double XP weekend, guess what, I like them, means I get more XP and I like more XP.

Means more people come on, need lots of people to make the game seem fuller for MLG. Just logic, you want to have a good product on show.

Stability issues etc. Unfortunate and annoying, however...

Like any of you evne know what's wrong, some people seem to act as if it's really easy and easily avoided when in fact there is enough code in there to build a house if you printed it all off.

You have a right to be annoyed, you even have the right to rant but some people are just plain rude, they act like they have been seriously wronged.

Sorry SOE can't make a game that runs on 50 fps on a hamster wheel, or help the fact that sometimes fixes break other things. Sometimes you have to be patient. Some people are so dismissive over a modern marvel in the computer game world. Brand new engine, Larger scale, consistent, multiplayer battles that have never been seen before with so many players.

AND ITS F ING FREE SO WHINE IN A LESS ANNOYING, SELF ENTITLED MANNER. So it has some bugs? I've played worse! ATM yes, even I feel discouraged from playing because I know my FPS isn't ideal and I don't get many kills when its like 10 fps but at the same time I know theres a guy in an office, on the other side of the world, working his little butt off. He's in there working long hours, and weekends and browsing forums and he comes to all the flames people leave out, AS IF THEY COULD DO BETTER!

If you really can do better hey go apply for SOE and fix the game by all means. Until then let's all be constructive and try not to rage too much, we are all guilty of it, we are all human but just remember that it's nice to be civil. If you need info ask instead of asking sarcasticly etc. It's not hard, it's just being nice.

Poor devs got to come around to so much negativity, I'm suprised they want to even bother fixing it! We are allowed to be constructively critical. There is a line between that and being rude.

[Satanam]

They should ALWAYS release new updates/hot-fix, etc. and, when its major bugs are fixed, do the double-exp event. Not the best deal to just throw new updates and immediately run an event like this one.

Correct and not update on weekends either, use the beginning of the week to update, that gives a few days to hotfix the inevitable bugs. :groovy:

Thats why you go resto! Restos have worked since beta. Med kits have constantly been bugged. ;)
