The worst weekend for double XP?
-
Hi Mom! Guess what I got for you this weekend? 60,000 XPS. And some flowers.

I think this is conspiracy theory talk. In no way do I think they did Double XP purposefully because it was Mothers Day weekend and would be inconvenient for many. Regardless of Mothers Day there will be more hours logged in the game overall this weekend than last weekend or next weekend because of the content drop. If they truly wanted to inconvenience players they would not put Double XP on a content drop weekend at all.

Don't be so dramatic. Mother's Day or not a significant portion of the Show base will be grinding this weekend because of the content drop. It's logically the best time to boost XP rewards because it's going to be a major double whammy towards the XP path. Just another thing to moan about.
If they pushed it to next weekend then "The Worst Weekend to Drop XP": Because everyone spent last weekend grinding the massive content drop with a ton of objectives to gain XP.

This guy gets it.

@TripleH-4481 My assumption is they aren't getting a good enough return from Gamepass & are turning to lootbox tactics to make up the difference. Now why they would do this since they are making more money now than they were just selling on PS is beyond me

I never said they did it to inconvenience players. You said that part. I simply meant it showed their lack of foresight, planning, and inability to understand their players. It’s a theme this year in case you are late to the party.

@AfterShockGamer
Oh it’s definitely money driven. All I can say is that as soon as they as they expanded to Xbox and Switch things went sideways.
-
@Dolenz I don’t think it’s a conspiracy either, but incredibly dumb/tone deaf/lack of foresight or leadership, name it. Make it until Monday at least.

They should have released TA last weekend and done 2XP then. But since they did not do that, this is the best weekend to do it because it coincides with lengthy programs. If they released TA next weekend and did 2XP then there'd be like 20 days left to even use the cards we earn in TA and on the XP reward path.
-
They may do more before season ends but imo it should be perm for remainder of season
-
@K9_21owl my guess is the last week will be 2XP. Their data will dictate what they do.
-
The double xp is a joke in itself because it’s like normal xp from last year, maybe still slightly worse. Gatekeeping content is ridiculous since 99% of players don’t care how fast others gain xp in the game.
-
Every weekend from now until the end of season 1 will be double xp
-
@BiigD008 really. Where did you see that?
-
100% agree. I’m out of town and I have serious FOMO
-
@BiigD008 ??
-
Also, they just reset everyone’s rating. So guys like me who are constantly around 500-600 are going to be forced to play guys coming from WS and higher. I hate this game.

@TripleH-4481 It’s literally normal XP from 23. They cut XP earn rate by 50% this year and reduced the daily cap from 60,000 to 15,000. On double XP right now, they double the XP earn rate (so 50% x 2 = 100%, so last year’s) and they quadruple the cap from 15,000 to 60,000 (again, last year’s).
The double XP, team affinity, ranked, events, and BR all lining up with Mother’s Day is because of when launch was. They planned 12 week seasons broken into 3 chunks of 4 weeks for ranked, BR, and team affinity. They then also planned events to be 2 week intervals which means each “chunk” has two events, where the first of the two launches at the same time as everything else. This causes the massive amount of content dumped at once and then large gaps with little else other than new packs to buy. It just happens that a large dump happened on Mother’s Day weekend. They almost certainly didn’t plan launch and all content around a day that isn’t a statutory holiday. It just happened to work out that way.

me personally yes, I haven't even had a single minute to get on the game. but it's whatever.
-
Weather they did knowingly or not. The best way to solve the entire issue is take away the XP cap. Period. I want to play my way not the way they make us play
