How about a "Double XP" weekend?

GreySix

Other MMOs offer specific time periods for double XP, so do you think introducing something like that in ESO would be a good idea?

Ragnar_Lodbrok

No

I thought it was double xp when ever they release a new mechanic to be exploited every patch.

Viblo

Other (I've got an even better idea, and I'll post it)

Half XP month and more nerfs.

Liquid_Time

Yes

I do not see the harm in hosting such an event.

Another could be a mid-long quest that offers double exp for.. say the next two hours after completion?

This offers both a limited time quest and a cool reward?

Jade_Knightblazerb14_ESO

No

Plz no, I am already outlvling the zones I am in by 7 lvls. Been awhile since I have gotten drops from mobs.... Since Grathwood... now in Reapers March

Gisgo

Yes

Im VR12 so who cares but sure, why not?

No dice. Games generally do not hand out double realm point/ dbl exp weekends until player bases drop heavily (usually after first year, I understand it is happening quickly with ESO) and it is used as an affordable way to draw players back that may be interested in levelling an alt or new players to join to play catch up. A fair whack of us (players from release/early release) were capped in 2 weeks and went from vr10 to 12 the day of crag release. Exp is not something that is a current issue that should be being looked into.

I was 4 days played when I hit VR10 so any "lifeless," "cheat," "exploit" comments will be up to you to sling but inappropriate and false. I wasn't even the fastest within my guild by half. I actually stopped due to a few quest breaks before being able to move into vr zones.

But as a decent piece of bait for players, maybe double gold from mobs? discounts on horse? Rewards for trait research quickening? All sorts of things that could be done as an event weekend but not exp. To readily available and easy to gain with a few minutes effort.

Yes

Double veteran level xp, I'd rather 1-49 xp stay the same, all of my characters that aren't veteran are currently 4 levels above the content with no extra attempts at grinding xp.

Jankstar

No

I would like special events, like one time dungeons or special enemies, daedric summoning days. That would be cool.

GreySix

Yes

I'll hazard a guess that most who voted no are already high in veteran levels.

SDZald

No

you already level up too fast why on earth would you want to level even faster?????

GreySix

Yes

Speak for yourself. I've been on since three-day early release, and my main is only at Level 31.

Double veteran points. Pre-veteran, I really don't want to outlevel content even faster.

Muletide

I'd like to see the Achievements provide something like this. IE: A temporary XP (or gold/loot) boost every 500 achievement points or so.

GreySix

Yes

Really liking some of the alternatives being raised by the "other" voters.

Keep 'em coming!

MasterSpatula

No

No, but if you must, please make it for VR levels only. It's hard enough not to overlevel the 1-50 content as it is, especially if you do any Cyrodiil.

but wait, there is more!

if you log in in the next 10 minutes, we will give a 2.001 XP, all for the same price. That's a 0.1% discount!

not convinced yet?

log in in the next 5 seconds, and we will crown you an emperor! You will have 5 second to unlock all related skills!

ErilAq

No

This game is meant to take a while, slow down and smell the roses. There's great humor and story in this game, and max level isn't even fully furnished yet. Double exp just ruins the immersion and the people who rush through then complain there's not enough to do (even though they wanted to bypass more than half the game with double exp)

Xupacabra

Yes

Iam ok with some xp boosts, iam becoming tired of questing and my free time avaible is spent in Cyrodiil, that is not a good tactic to level up, but its fun.
Iam currently at R4 and i play from the 5 day early start.

Falmer

No

Absolutely NOT!! It was their double XP weekends that actually drove me away from SWTOR. I hate the feeling of outleveling the quests and stories before I get to experience them all.

ESO already has me doing more than half of coldharbour gaining no xp because I am already VR with my characters.

I don't want to have to stop playing on weekends like I did with SWTOR because they are going to make the problem even worse for outleveling content.

redspecter23

Yes

Some special events that could be added.

Double xp
(but only if some option were put in place to allow players to "hold" onto a level without being forced to level up so they don't outlevel the content. Good for speedy players or those playing catch up, but won't force players out of the content level they are in)

Double skill xp
This one would have players just hoarding enchantment materials until it hits but then there would be a frenzy. Not necessarily a bad thing.

Double loot or a small chance at double loot.
Maybe those rune nodes have a 20% chance at having double runes? Or all gold in chests is doubled or maybe a chance at an extra item in chests.

Guild Store Coupons
For a limited time you could get rare drops from mobs and chests which could be a ticket you can spend for 100/1000/10000 gold toward a purchase at your guild store. It's just the same as gold but only for guild store purchases. Potentially broken, but an interesting mechanic to explore.

Limited Time Motifs
During certain events or weekends, new rare motifs and crafting stones for those styles drop. Rotate them in and out so they're never gone for good, but won't be around all the time. In general there should be way more motifs anyway.

GreySix

Yes

IMO, double XP would be especially useful for those with alts.

fyendiarb16_ESO

No

It would certainly drive me away, I am already outleveling the quests by far and you want to make it even worse?

Tbh I have never understood XP bonus weekends, is that not the same thing as saying "we know our leveling content sucks, but hey! here you can speed through it at double speed, so don't worry!"

If a company thinks bonus XP weekends is a good deal they should just let those that hate leveling choose at character creation between a lvl 1 and a max lvl character and lets those that love the story, the leveling, the whole game and not just endgame...enjoy it fully without getting their game experienced destroyed by things like this.

Didn't the original Guild Wars do that? Not sure if I remember that correctly or not.

Andferne

No

No, this game is far to young in age for Double xp weeks or weekends. Wait until the game is over a year old. Stop wanting Xp handed to you on a silver plate, go out there and earn your Xp.

Stovahkiin

No

Lol at that picture. Really though, I would only even consider supporting double xp if it was for veteran levels.

GreySix

Yes

Looks like the speed-boats outnumber the canoes here.

tawok

Yes

Depends. Double kill XP? Meh. Double ALL XP? *** yeah. If it gets our numbers to blow up for even just weekend, more fun for us.

Instead of ruining weekends, why not add a rested experience boost mechanic!

Many MMOs use it and it as it rewards everyone and doesn't tether you to a schedule.

Mablung

No

They cannot even code in a skill point reset for when they change class abilities or other skills. How do you expect them to be able to code in double xp?

Cimos

Other (I've got an even better idea, and I'll post it)

How about permanent double xp...lol. Im already v12 so I dont care, but I think this game would be much more fun if the majority of the population was V12. Right now all the players are spread out soloing VR levels, if everyone was V12, we would have high populated PvP campaigns, and lots of options to find groups for trials.

Bring the people together!

Celuwen

Yes

I love double XP weekends! They make me giddy. I'm slightly cautious of the devs breaking this though and making it a no-XP weekend.
