    Last year, after Labor Day, we had a series of Fall bonuses that went on for a month. Anything like that this year?

    That's not coming until like... Mid/late October

    They should have started already, usually run from now until just before beta starts.....could be due to a late beta and possibly later release of expsansion.

    We didn't get any freebies for the summer, so don't hold your breath about getting any bonuses this year.

    Last years calander for reference

    It will be out when they decide how much we have to pay for the "Perk".

    Just logged in, seems they went active today, starting with bonus rare mobs.

    Looks like they are running a week behind last year.

    I was wrong, apparently they start now! D:

    Is that 150% bonus exp or 50% bonus exp?

    It's +50% XP.

    Daypaw is always a bit math challenged.

    It says 150% experience gains... If the bonus is only 50% does this mean the normal xp 'gain' is 100%?

    Who the hell writes these posts... They're so vague and poorly worded.

    If there's a completely unnecessary, incomprehensible way of explaining something, you can count on the copywriters at Daybreak to do it.

    Seriously, how hard is it to write "+50% experience"?

    Maybe it's their way of saying we should feel lucky that they don't penalize us by giving us less than 100% of our earned XP :)

    I suspect the person writing these posts slept through most of their math classes.

    can you explain to me how normal exp *isnt* 100%?

    its not darkpaws fault their playerbase apparently cant read and dont understand numbers.

    Did you read the announcement? It's clearly not the players' fault this time.

    If they posted 50% experience bonus, people would throw a fit wondering why they are only getting half the amount of experience they were before the bonus. This is the girft that keeps on going. Use some common sense lol.

    I feel sorry for the employees at DPG when it comes time for performance / bonus and other incentives with this type of math.

    I did. There isnt anything confusing about "soak up 150% experience gains". that pretty clearly reads gain 1 and half times exp as normal, or 150%. if they had said "gain an additional 150% exp" that would mean 2.5 times the normal exp.
