mattjame Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) In the Patch Notes of 8/7/18 it states: Double XP Event from 8/7 through 8/19 - The popular Double XP event is back, earn double XP, CXP, and more! Well, this is being posted at 8:45 AM EDT on 8/19/18 and the double experience is gone. We are owed 1 more day!

Mubrak Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) Why complain now and not when double XP activated with a timer that ended today at 12pm GMT? It's already the 20th in parts of the world, so the patch notes weren't actually wrong. Edited August 19, 2018 by Mubrak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundown Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 It went off exactly at "daily switch time", and for once exactly as the countdown indicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattjame Posted August 19, 2018 Author Share Posted August 19, 2018 I guess I should have checked the timer but even though I didn't, it still ended too early. BioWare has a habit of using the local California time whenever they post times for events like this or for patch going down times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dweessies Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 In BW-speak, ending on 8/19 means that it will end very shortly after 12:01am on 8/19. For the rest of us, ending on 8/19 means something very different, so while they were technically correct it still feels like we're being ripped off. Combine that with servers that are still mostly unplayable with lag, and you get a very good reason to unsub and walk away. It just seems like they're not even trying anymore.

I've spent the week trying to get a new Sage to 40 before the event ended, and was in-game most of this afternoon trying to finish up my goal (She's 36 now). After turning in a couple of missions a while ago, I noticed I didn't get much XP off of them. When I looked at my bar, I noticed the double XP indicators were gone. :: facepalm :: Head.... meet desk... :: thud :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except California time is not "local" for them, as they are located in Texas. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrixxieTriss Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Except California time is not "local" for them, as they are located in Texas. . Have you noticed they never say central time for anything. It’s always PST, EST and GMT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casirabit Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 They have followed this since the beginning. While it is understandable, due to the problems with this patch, that it may have been extended, the cut off time has always been like this so it is something I have gotten used to. I figured by the time I got to log in this afternoon (my time is eastern) the double cxp would be over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darththirdeye Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I do agree. I feel like the 2xp should have lasted thru the whole weekend. A bunch of friends and I were all excited to play all day Sunday with double xp. We were definitely bummed when we got online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
