The worst weekend for double XP?

@TripleH-4481 said in The worst weekend for double XP?:
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.
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

@LIONED-33
Even double xp isn’t quite regular xp from previous games which says a lot about this year.
-
SDS knew what they were doing & here is why…You know who’s grinding on Mother’s Day? Kids…Not Dads…Kids. And the majority of kids are NMS. Dads on the other hand are more likely to be spenders. So by not being able to benefit from double XP they will be forced to spend or accept they aren’t getting all the bosses.

@IrishFist412
my kid's spend way more on content than I do. matter of fact, I spend zero after purchase proudly. while my kids regularly hit me up for vbucks and have no concept of the value those $20 into virtual currency actually means, as they don't work yet.
I get what your saying though..one year, as an adult, fully into adult beverages and bad choices, I spent like waaaay too much because it was my money and I could.

@IrishFist412
I think you are on to something here. Another sly move to entice people to buy stubs. Subtle but kinda brilliant.
-
I played more this weekend than any other weekend this year except the petals weekend (I happened to be on break that weekend).
I apologized to my wife yesterday for the absurd amount of time I was going to be on the game yesterday and today.
We still celebrated this morning with my family.
I’m not sure what all everyone else does from 2:00 pm Friday to 2:00 am Monday for Mother’s Day that seems to indicate you can’t celebrate Mother’s Day and capitalize on double XP.
-
@LIONED-33 I don’t even know how you can reach the cap in one day, XP is so low.
-
XP weekends used to include Mondays too not anymore lol
-
Be honest -- a lot of the DD fan base will choose TA3 and double xp over their moms.
I played ONE Conquest game...
