Alpha Squad 10% Booster...

Isn't automatically equipped when you first create a character.

Not a big deal, but I played for a few hours without it and had it not been for serendipity, I might not have ever noticed it was there.

So make sure you equip it, lol.

Do you still have it? I logged out for dinner and now it's not equipped or in my inventory

Hmm, just logged out as well. I'll log back in and check.

Mine is still there.

Mine is gone as well. I equipped it, then removed it to try a 1 hour xp boost, and it disappeared.

Mine is gone as well, I equipped it, and after my game crashed (happened 3 times yesterday btw) and when I logged back in it was gone.

The admin on my server said something about conflicts with trial weapons and boosters. Did any of you use both at the same time?

Yeah, I used a trial weapon with my booster equipped. Looks like that is the problem then

There is also a problem where equipping a different boost after equipping the Alpha Squad boost removes the timer on the AS boost. So you lose it if you unequip it and equip a different one.

This is truth. Higby was quite clear on this during beta. Removing or replacing the 10% Alpha boost after equipping it means it is lost forever.

People got a bit upset about that, but it never got changed afaik.

You've got to be kidding me....

So let me get this straight, I spend actual cash to test the xp boost, after paying 40$ for alpha squad, and get screwed out of the alpha squad boost? Thanks SOE

Of course, I could always just start another character....right? Yeah, but I've already spent my station cash on one character.

And I am not very happy about that.I think it's a kick in the balls for all the loyal fans who purchased AS even though the benefits were small. I thought I would get real 6 months of xp boost...now I'm losing it if I unequip it... Great.

Love the XP boost! The XP is rolling in made allowing me to make BR11 in just a few hours. I have to say it may be too much XP bonus

Sorry had to say it.

Are you kidding? 10% are barely noticeable. If you play 1h you will get xp as if you played 1h 6 min, it pretty much does not matter.

Completely agree its completely daft, it certainly didn't have that stipulation listed on the products description when I purchased it. Or anywhere within planetside itself for that matter.
