Double XP Weekend results

Carravaggio · July 21, 2008, 12:31:03 AM

So how'd you all go? What progress did you make over the weekend?
I got my main tank from 39 to 44, which was my main goal, I wanted Laser Vision, and now I have it.
I also worked a bunch of lowbies into the twenties. Most of the rest of the time was taken up by my gf, she got her tank from 10 to 30 (!) which is a great effort for a part-time player.

I got a bar of XP on my defender, and 2 bars of XP on my scrapper. And I leveled my bane spider up from level 31 to 32. I think I'm just getting tired of playing this game.

Dinged a corr to 22 and a dom to 17 on virtue. On freedom got my cold def to 17, my crab to 38, mondys widow to 36 and my spines/sr scrapper to just shy of 46.

Probably would have got more done, but this locking of freedom on these weekends can (insert strain of vulgarity here).

Wasn't able to play nearly as much as I wanted, and part of it was my fault: I forgot all about it starting Friday - the ONE day I would have been able to play the most - until I checked my G-Mail account around 10pm; I had the newsletter that mentions Double Xp in the header left in my mail so it would remind me, and when I did get on there was mega-lag due to the server being overcrowded. I did two missions on a character then logged off until a few hours later, and wasn't able to get back on Freedom so I had to run on Virtue late Friday/early Saturday.

I gained 1 level on my Bow Defender, going from 23 to 24, which was the character I logged on for a couple missions Friday night.

My Mind/Fire Dominator on Virtue gained 5 levels, going from lvl 10 to lvl 15. (I had to log him on when I tried to get back on later Friday because I couldn't get on Freedom again at all)

My Energy/Electric Blaster on Virtue gained a level or two, but that's no big deal since he's only about lvl 4 now. (I did some street hunting on him before I decided to crash)

The character I spent the most time on, my Willpower/Dual Blades Tanker, went from lvl 8 to lvl 18. (My goal was to get him to 20, but I'm not complaining about coming up two levels short because I probably could have gotten him there, but I decided to quit playing with a little over 2 hours left)

I intentionally avoided using my 46 Bane, because GV is bad enough (laggy and full of farmers) under normal circumstances and I have no desire to level him up to 50 on RWZ missions.

(The Defender and Tanker are on Freedom)

They seriously need to re-work how they do double xp, because the servers being full so we can't get on cheeses me and a lot of other people off.

I got my Widow from 44 to 48. My controller Photon-Storm went from 34 to 35, and my evil toy on Champion went from 33 to 35.

My D3 Defender went from 35 to 44, my DB/SR Brute went from 2 to 12 and my Fire/Regen Scrapper went from 2 to 9. Not too-too bad.

BlueBard · July 21, 2008, 08:43:47 AM

I didn't get a lot of play time either, unfortunately. I got Maxwell Miracle (Ill/Emp) on Virtue from 32 to 34.

By the next time I went to log in, both Freedom and Virtue were greyed out. I suspect a lot of folks were either leveling Villains to 50 to get their VEATs, or leveling their VEATs.

I switched over to Fastbolt (Kin/Elec) on Guardian and got her from 25 to 26 and halfway to 27.

In the process I've decided that I'm really, really dissatisfied with CoH speedsters. Superspeed should have been available from day one and there should be a hand-to-hand scrapper style that suits them. Flurry's damage output and status effects suck, MA animations are too slow, I don't want to use a weapon or claws or spines, and dark melee doesn't fit any concept I want to play. I really hope they port electric and energy melee over to scrappers next issue and add a street-fighter powerset.

77 · July 21, 2008, 11:03:32 AM

I got my DB/WP scrapper up to 37. Most of my time was spend getting influ/prestige and xp for some friends that have very little time to play this weekend.

I'm one mission away from finishing GTA4!

I actually didn't use my new current favorite character -- a fire/kin controller Fire Marshall Bob -- at all during double XP weekend. I was afraid he'd level too fast.

Instead I advanced some languishing toons, and really enjoyed playing them. Holly Hellen, my sonic blaster, went from 33 to 38 ... American Miss an emph/healer and Child of Vulcan a energy/devices blaster characters both in their 40s advanced two levels each ... even my one Villian Robomaster 4.0 advanced a level from a long stagnant 37 to 38. (He was in St. Martial and could only do newspaper missions. I am so unfamiliar with the villian side I have no clue what town he should be in. All advice appreciated.)

And for many frustating times when I got locked out of the Freedom server I advance one level for a character on the Champion server.

Playing all these characters reminded me yet again how much I appreciate the way that the different AT's play so differently. And how much I enjoy revisting these guys.

I got my soviet superman "The Peoples Protector" from lvl 26 to lv 35. :cool:. I would have gotten a few more levels for him...but I had to work on saturday. :thumbdown:

Man I finished that weeks ago! :P

Lionheart · July 21, 2008, 07:48:28 PM

Heart's Fire and I got a half dozen of our teams to travel powers and/or capes. My daughter (age 8) and I got a team to travel powers. And my wife, brother, and I got a couple other teams to travel powers and/or capes.

Yeah, we have altitis. Two years in game and my Heart's Fire and I are level 30 on our mains. My brother has been in since beta (but off for a couple of years) and is has a 34. We also split between two MMOs, depending on mood. :)

Friday I played GTA4 online with my "brother in law" who just bought a 360 the day before, managed to log on Freedom for a bit late at night and got a few bubbles on Allumette my fire/fire tank.

Fell in the bathroom saturday morning, hit my head on the vanity, busted myself open above the left eye, wasted a full afternoon at the clinic, got 4 stitches, never could log on Freedom saturday night so got one level on my archery/fire blaster on Champion instead.

Was too tired sunday to really put much time on CoH but still managed to get Allumette to almost lvl 39 on Freedom during the evening.

Let's see. I tried to do ITF with my Archery/TA Defender (Scythia) on Freedom, but the team bailed. Mind you, she went from 35-37 during that period.

Got my Level 2 SoA on Freedom (Operative Angel) to level 14.

In the last couple of hours I got my Mace/Axe (can't remember which) /WP tanker on Freedom (Pete the Plumber) from 8 to 12.

My proudest acheivement had to be creating a new toon, Benu Bird - a Fire/Therm Troller on Freedom. Took her into the sewers after the tutorial. In one PUG, we went from sewers to Kings Row, where we did both travel power bank mishes, then off to the Hollows where we did all the mishes up to and including Frostfire. I hit level 17 at the end of it.
