Larsenex Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I am just wondering. Some games are doing 'Summer' Kick off specials like EQ2, Secret World, and such so I am asking here for more information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoshkar Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Is it really that hard to get to 55? only been playing since January this year myself, and I have seen like 6 double exp weekends so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickious Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I hope not. 3 double XP weekends within a month of each other is more than enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsenex Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 I am not really interested as well. My girlfriend sent me a text asking if there was going to be one. She is lvling up a Gunslinger and wanted to know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rankyn Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I'd rather they just sell Double XP boosts on the Cartel Market and be done with it.The people that wanted them could use them whenever they wanted and the people that didn't wouldn't have to worry about it.

Rankyn Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 As long as they keep them Bound to Legacy, I am fine with that.No, the entire basis of the CM relies on people being able to acquire these items for credits from other players if they so choose. To restrict a boost item like that would be foolish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy to be given boosts rather than have the events if they were free. No way should people have to pay for double XP because some people don't enjoy it.

The people that wanted them could use them whenever they wanted and the people that didn't wouldn't have to worry about it. It seems to me that selling 1/2 XP and 0 XP "boots" would probably be more profitable, since those players whine a lot harder about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iankalo Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 We had Double XP summer week or two in August or September , IIRC. Im not sure it was because the summer , tho ;p Maybe because of the release of some huge MMORPG. It would be nice to have Double XP 2weeks or month in the summer , when the kids and students relaxing from the school , but we need the option to turn it off if we want.

It happens. Taking the weekends away would remove that specific thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people that wanted them could use them whenever they wanted and the people that didn't wouldn't have to worry about it. Yeah that's not going to happen. Whenever they do Double XP weekends the game sees peak numbers in the amount of people playing. This means that there's more people in the game spending money on the CM. They also generally schedule Double XP events when something is going on in the world of gaming that they feel will pull a lot of attention away from TOR like a new MMO launching, new console releases, multiple high profile games coming out in the same week, etc, etc. Selling boosts lets people burn through the content on a different time table than that of Bioware's, which is something they don't want. They want to have some level of control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floredon Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 is there a difference between the double exp you get during double exp weekends and the double exp buff you get from logging out in a catina or on fleet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessabeans Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) I'd rather they just sell Double XP boosts on the Cartel Market and be done with it. The people that wanted them could use them whenever they wanted and the people that didn't wouldn't have to worry about it. I would be happy with that, I can barely find time to play (at all, let alone on weekends) and there's a few planets I get stuck on an alt and just don't feel like doing all the side quests. I would enjoy being able to use a boost to get past those spots when it was a good time for me to be able to play. It doesn't take long to level, it can just get a little tedious in spots after a few times. As far as the weekends being a draw, it's nice that they do something to pull people back in, I suppose extra experience is something they can do without additional development costs but it would be nice to see more in game events instead.

Superman_AZ Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 It would seem this was never answered. Not that it is a huge concern, but given my limited time under most circumstances, it makes it nice to roll an alt who only needs to run Class Missions. Would certainly give me an excuse to play Republic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaxSithari Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I'd be happy to be given boosts rather than have the events if they were free. No way should people have to pay for double XP because some people don't enjoy it. We are given boosts, when you complete part of your class story. It's quite easy to avoid receiving double XP if you don't want to. Play your 55s, do crafting, explore, farm a much lower FP for bits of gear. Basically don't do things that give you XP. Let your alt sit for the weekend, or roll another alt and see how far you can take that one just on double XP, while doing things differently in the story.

Maybe I wasn't clear, but I love double XP weekends. I was just commenting on the suggestion that they should remove the event and sell the boosts on the cartel market. I would be very unhappy to have to pay for those boosts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horrorfaneightys Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Fixed that for you. Lol you changed it to given, when the suggestion I was commenting on was about paying. Just to be clear, I love double XP, and don't think it would be fair to have to pay because a small minority don't enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
