I just spent $255 worth XP last saturday . Could not deal with the terrible DPS without those artifacts. I was saving for the double XP but going by previous few bonus weeks, seemed like it would be months away.
It'll end before the DLC is available. The final day for the double XP is next Wednesday and the DLC comes out the next day.
That's why they don't post a schedule. Money, money, money! C'mon someone, let's see some Million Dollar Man gifs!!!
If be nice if nth metals would also drop alot more often for the week. and adding 500xp nth metal in choice window in promethium lockboxes. Maybe adding another double artifacts XP after wonderverse artifacts is released.
Sorry for double post but I forgot to also say. Double artifact xp is good but it isn't gonna help that we have to spend lots of source marks on the catalysts needed and need seals to save the milestone break through failures. It might be better if this would be a great package deal For a bonus week. Double XP Artifacts Increased Drop rate of Nth Metals Increased Drop Rate of Dionesium, Quantum Field Energy, Paradox Energy. A chance of Seal being in Promethium Lockbox Loot choice. That would be a great bonus week package and a week wouldn't hurt at all.
We had a bonus catalyst week a few weeks ago. We also had a sale a couple weeks ago for Nth Metal and seals.
Whaaaat!? Bottled City Soder has a 10% chance of breaking through at the end. OMG, DCUO... gimme a break. So these things pretty much require a Seal of Completion, yeah? And I want three of them lol. Had to post this somewhere. Just. Wow.
What's wacky is that I've leveled like 10 Bottled City Soders using only SOP and coming out ahead of the 10 fails needed to make it worth a SOC price....but I'd never use a SOP on a 160 level breakthrough....they are both 10%, so I don't know why I do it that way. For some reason the 10% on the soder seems less scary than the 10% on an arti. Hmmm....maybe I'll take a chance on a 160 EOG I'm leveling on an alt today or tomorrow.
Just a quick update on that.. Got the 160...1st try, using SOP. So....gambling, fun as ever. I'm sure I'll pay for it next time when it takes 20 fails.
Yeah...if only there was a way to know before you got about 5 or 6 into it....at that point I'm riding it out. Yeah, 23 is rough...about the price of 2.5 SOCs had you gotten them. But those 'only 3' ones...almost make it worth it. Gotta say I did a air fist pump when I hit it on 1.
Oh Christ! That feel when you're so close to the end and the game knows it and messes with you. Two more artifacts for me (well, maybe three lol). The penultimate just failed Rank 40 twice, then failed Rank 60 once. Ughhh... why!? I'm so close. Please, let me be done with this lmao.
See, I won't even use the SOP on a 40 or 60...sometimes 80. The Cat loss is better than the SOP loss for me. I'd rather save them for the higher ranks where the cat loss is bigger. 40 is 2 dios and a quant...24 marks per wiff. 56 at a 60 is also bearable...but 80 is normally my minimum to use them. But yes...the DCUO gods know how to let you win just enough to suck you into that 20+ loser where they make it all back.
