So is Rare thinking about 2x Gold or Reputation Weekends like many other games do? It would even be cool if only one vendor at a time did it, but would still be something to draw in more players!
2X Gold and 2X Rep Weekend!!!
@painstryker good idea. I feel they actually need this way faster than they thought they would. Weekly challenges that reward new cosmetics would also add a burst of life.
@misa-kitten What is this idea of "the game just released"? nonsense.
That's when you need to do everything you can to have your player base grow and play the game without dropping like flies because they did everything they need to do in a week and there is nothing else to do. Live events, 2xp weekends, put random bounties on crews, etc keep the game active. If they do not do anything for 3 months then nobody will care anymore, ask Bungie.

Nope... games that do 2x reward weekends and gifts on login and so on are the games that are declining rapidly, as a easy way to attempt to boost populations for a little bit while the Dev team is working on their next project.

@sir-rhavi And what do you think is happening with Sea of Thieves?
Oh i don't doubt it. But we're still 3-6 months before bonus weekend emails and log back in gifts start showing up in our e-mails.
@sir-rhavi Then it will be calm of thieves, they need to act now not in 3 months, not even a mention of pirate legend congratulatory to all players that got there??, they do not even have to mention names, silence is not good and leads to speculation, the game "just released", then show your customers that you are committed and engaged with players.
Again, silence is never good.

totally agree, their silence is bad. (pirate legend thing is a touchy subject, if i were they i'd ignore it for now anyway)
@sir-rhavi Ignore it? That will be crazy.
It is the pinnacle of endgame in Sea of Thieves, they lied about what happens when you get to legendary status https://news.microsoft.com/en-gb/2018/02/13/completing-sea-thieves-becoming-pirate-legend-unlocks-hideout-new-quests-ships-treasures-rare-reveals/
The whole purpose of playing is to get to legendary pirate, that's why we have rep and progression and they will not (generically) congratulate players that got there? that is crazy and they are shooting themselves in the foot.
Ignoring your customers and staying silent is the worst a company can do.
@r3b3lspy dont call the devs liars.. or the cute SoT defense force will be all over you.. lol
I called them out for lying over achievements being fixed and rustled a few jimmys... was adorable to see.
As for 2xXP or gold... lolololololol.. if rare gave a flying **** they would have done something straight after the launch disaster... other devs do it as an apology... not Rare, they took our money and ********* off on a "well deserved" easter break.
Besides, giving out double XP would only introduce players to the disappointment that is legendary, in a shorter amount of time... so on that basis theyve probably done us a favour...@sir-rhavi said in 2X Gold and 2X Rep Weekend!!!:

Ok, this is a load of rubbish.
Most other games in this continuous development/delivery structure; Login rewards and double xp weekends are very normal. Look at Warframe, for example, they're not declining rapidly and they have these things set up because it brings in more players and gives them a reason to play. With this game's current shallow content, it is more than welcome - especially when we are faced with this monotonous grind.
(Sorry to necro this thread but I really would like to see a double rep/xp event or something similar, this reasoning is just illogical)

THINKING EMOJI
You're really spreading misinfo now, dude.
@magikarpsplash Ok, their first forum post about it was in 2015, fair enough.
warframe is also a f2p model. Which SoT is not.
has any paid game had 2x weekend xp before they went f2p? Cause I have a suspicion.
good luck with that research.

You're the one who needs to do research, your knowledge of the subject has just been proven wrong, matey.
2x rep event makes more than enough sense, and again, this game adopted the continuous delivery structure, these things are normal and expected for these live service games, and I think you know it. F2P, AAA - It doesn't matter. It's a live service, these things are expected.

yeah, sure, 2x rep makes a ton of sense, it makes life easy for teenagers in school who have weekends free and a pain in the a*s for everyone who doesn't.
yes the grind sucks, yes its long, but if it was easy it wouldn't be as satisfying for people who get to the end.
2x rep events are not expected. WoW never had them, GW2 never had them, swtor never had them.
again, has any paid game had them? are you sure it makes sense then?

Do you enjoy being wrong this much?
SWTOR was a paid game, then it became a subscription, and then finally it adopted F2P - A direction this game could be going if the devs don't start thinking about this stuff.
Take a look at this calendar of events for SWTOR - They have double xp events almost monthly, if not bi-monthly.
http://swtorcalendar.com/GTAV - They have game modes which give double money/xp and have had NUMEROUS double xp weekend events....
Another example, off the top of my head - SSX (2012) - It was a paid game that had double rewards and events.
WoW has these events too, but in a different manner, not so much double xp, but more in terms of boosts and events.
I'd really stop typing, if I were you. You're quickly becoming very incredulous.

wow, they had double weekends after they went f2p.
WHERE IS A PAID GAME WITH 2X BONUS WEEKENDS.
I paid 60 dollars for this game and I can't play weekends, how would this be fair?
Wow has NEVER had these events, the bonus XP they had was PAID.are you this lazy that you want bonus weekends 3 weeks after the game has launched? we already have no content and you want to blaze through the little there is? F**k off mate.

This would be great. It would also be nice to get a custom item for your involvement in The event, similar to the day one eye patch.
Edit: further thought makes me question a full 2x. Everyone would be legend.yup, everyone would be legend, and you know what happens when everyone is legend? nobody is legend.
@sir-rhavi Exactly. Except people like the poor fellow above who wouldn't be able to play on the weekend.
Edit: Oh. That's you. I work shifts, so may end up in the same boat.@daveyjay1984 said in 2X Gold and 2X Rep Weekend!!!:

oh what fun. I'm near enough that it makes no matter, it was a hypothetical point. The point is I paid 60 dollars for this game and i should have the same chance as everyone, if your 10 hours of gameplay give you 20 levels while my 10 hours of gameplay gives me 10, how is that fair?
What's the point of having something to achieve if it's easy?@sir-rhavi said in 2X Gold and 2X Rep Weekend!!!:

Oh, so this is all about your personal situation regarding your current work schedule - Not being able to play on weekends... so, because you can't play and get the boost, nobody should get boosts?
Thanks for putting that all on the table for us. Self centered, much?
Again, GTAV - Paid game - Double xp/cash events all the time.
You might want to read the rules of the forum, btw. There's no need to be insulting.
@magikarpsplash
Like i said above, it was a hypothetical point.
I'm 48/48/50 right now, couldn't care less, but man, if this game that Rare has been championing horizontal progression, balanced gameplay and fairness to all ever attempts something like this, i'll hop on the sue bandwagon so fast my admiral's hat will fly off.so yes, if I can't get a boost, nobody should.
@daveyjay1984 said in 2X Gold and 2X Rep Weekend!!!:

Yeah, I thought about this too but, it's only for a weekend. Have you seen how slow it is to level up after level 40? The grind is REAL.
Besides, Pirate Legend is a milestone people want to meet, why would you not want to reach that point?
