Bonus exp weekend confusion!

[Lambda]

Is anybody else irritated by this?

People are calling it double exp weekend and think that it's all three days straight.

It's 7 hours, it's 2.7 and degrades every 45 minutes.

I don't think too many people are confused about this aspect of the weekend, considering it was the same concept during the first double exp weekend as well.
Averaging it all out, if you worked for 10 hours at CONSTANT double xp, it would probably work out to be the same (or near) to the value of xp you would get with the current 2.7x exp and degrading every 45 minutes.
I think the thing that more people will be confused or angry about is the nerf of Summoning, and not receiving the 2.7x exp rate for it.

Not really, if that's what they think, then let them think that. They are only wasting THEIR money after all.

Bonus exp sucks.
Now they removed summining from it.
It's even worse...

It's 10 hours, it's 2.7 and degrades every 45 minutes.

It's 7 hrs, not 10.

And yes, the fact that some people are too stupid/lazy/ignorant to actually figure out what their advantages during the weekend are is very frustrating - but then I don't care because it's their loss.

Yeah its irritating, supposedly you can't do summoning with the full boosts till it fully degrades back to 1.0, it stays at 1.1 for summoning =/. And the forum says its 10 hours =/

it's just you start @ 2.7x exp.
each 45 minutes it 'degrades'.
until after a amount of time u got 1.1x exp.
that stays the whole 3 days.

Goes from September 3rd to September 6th.

 

[joey gmt]

ok thanks, also prayer isnt available for double exp but summoning is, is this correct?

 

[Tiemen]

are those degrades 'personal' or 'global'?
Is it 2.7x->1.1x the 1st 10h of the weekend
or 2.7x->1.1x the 1st 10h you play on your account?

Has it been confirmed that summoning won't be included?

 

[Runescape_Mod]

summoning is included i think... but the bonus is not as much (i heard it was only like 110% of what the normal xp is)

Yes on the thread jagex made talking about the double xp
