Week 1 gave a 3 day +100% XP Booster. I just claimed this week's award and it is +50% Anyone else experience this?
It was only ever meant to be 50% in the first place. Either way, I'm banking mine for the next double exp weekend events.
I don't believe so. I thought the same based on the picture, but it is clearly stated on the WDS page that it is +100% *EDIT* It has now been changed to say 50% https://players.planetside2.com/#!/wds
I got a 50% boost, although I'm pretty sure the WDS site said it would be a 100% boost just a few hours ago... hmm.
Here's what I figure. Originally meant to be 50%. They messed up somehow and gave out 100% boosts for Week 1. Week 2, website guys think, "Okay, I guess we're giving out 100% boosts!" SOE instead fixes their mistake and sends out 50% boosts, and website guys don't get the memo until later. At any rate, I miss my ub3r boost.
Google Cached version from 9/23/13 makes no mention of the percentage, only says 3-days... http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...2.com/news/world-domination-series-pre-season Gamasutra description from 9/20/13 states 3 days, 50% http://www.gamasutra.com/view/press..._2__the_World_Domination_Series_has_begun.php Unless of course they've been in on the vast conspiracy to cheat you out of XP from the very beginning... Of course, you're only paranoid if you're wrong.
Week 1 I got 100%, week 2 I got 50%. Already used the 100% boost, it was quite nice but yeah probably a mistake.
Pssst... SOE, you don't even know your own product... Lies! 50% boost is character locked, it cannot be used on any character. Only the 100% hyper boost is a universal boost that can be equiped on any character. Just so people know. I'm not sure if your non-TR character could claim it but you better have claimed it on the character you plan to use it on.
i farmed 2k cert using the 3day 100% and got these DragunovXO unlocked NCM3 Raven Oct 1 2013 04:59:24 AM DragunovXO unlocked NCM3 Raven Oct 1 2013 04:59:15 AM
If you check here: https://players.planetside2.com/#!/wds you'll see that they list the week 1 award as 100%, the week 2 award as 50%, and the upcoming week 3 award will be 50%. I can't say for sure, but it seems to me the week one award was intentionally higher, perhaps to soothe some of the bruised feelings regarding the initial implementation of the event.
I thought they raised week 1 rewards because they knew the 100% boost was the only one that would work on all characters. But then this week, they seem to think the 50% boost works on all characters too. Its a character locked item. So who really knows why SOE did that for week 1?
I haven't seen anything remotely close to official. That statement was just speculation on my part. But there were a lot of bruised feelers here during the first week and a half.
