Double exp Failed epicly

It's not called double EXP weekend, it's called bonus EXP weekend. People just started calling it that, even though since it starts at 2.7x and ends up at 1.1x.

 

How many charms did it take? And what did you make?

I checked tree health, fletched a bit, and am fire-making. I don't really need any stats badly, just working on getting the Enchanted Excalibur.

 

You have to think though.. If they did it for 3 full days at double exp people would get 99s so quickly this weekend and it would make the game even easier than it already is becoming.. This double exp idea was stupid in the first place.

I miss the old Runescape.

 

It wasn't that bad. It drew a ton of hype and got people on, what they intended to do.

 

I can't remember the last time Jagex's intentions were for the players.

This was all a scheme for them to get more money. It was pretty bad.

 

Wasted it all sitting in a random event while my bot decided to be a lamer.

 

Exactly why botting fails so hard.

 

I'm making great use of it atm and botting multiple accounts. I planned ahead and I knew was I was going to do before I logged in.

 

I dont mind it being only 10 hours, it was a great release imo. Got my slayer and ranged up quite a bit.

 

I think anyone who trained any non-buyable skill is a fool. This is an event that may happen once a year, if they even decide to do it again: the only thing training agility will save is 5-8 hours. In the scheme of things, that's really not much - two days of training? A day of botting?

I decided to spend the extra xp on farming: plant 4 trees, spend 10 minutes checking them, plant 4 more, logout. When they're grown, I log back in, still have almost the full multiplier, and spend 10 minutes planting the next batch. It's half as expensive as training the normal way, and I'll probably have the 2x bonus all weekend.

 

Yup. Wasted all my time.

Sin I like your name. It's really awesome looking. The forum name I mean.

 

I thought the exp weekend was going to be a lot better than it actually was. I mean we did get some extra exp all in all, but they made it sound a hell of a lot flashier during the pre-launch. gf jagex.

 

The double exp wasn't that bad.
I got over 1M extra experience in Woodcutting.
If it was used right (Prepared properly) then this was a powerful tool. But unfortunately some people are to silly to prepare themselves for epic exp, and that is why they failed.

Gf Jagex.

 

Agree, the key was the preparation for players to seek max XP. Most IMO failed to understand the event as most failed to review the Developer's Blog which explained in detail how it would work. If anything I would say this event is nothing more than a lesson to all for the next as I'm sure we will see more of this in the future.

 

I can't believe they decided to play the "extra-exp card" now, even though the game has existed for all of these years already. Almost kind of insulting to long time players, the oldest form of RS players that are still around, are in Vet-Classic, and they do not get any of these extra experience benefits because of them being in the original game. I think they are more about gathering more players, than maintaining their current players.

 

17 hours, 1,1x, 1-62 Hunt

 

i hat 1.200 crimsons and 266 blues which i started saving up at 50 slayer, i'm 74 now

 

ya, your so right! you know whats even better, why dont we get like 5x xp for every weekend, that would be good.

 

I was doing sw through event, it failed anyway

 

event was failed, i did bot fm, and then i had 1,1 left, lol
