Regarding the Status of Double XP
July 27, 2018 1:43PM
edited July 2018
Earlier this month we had stated that there would be two Double XP events taking place in July, the first went ahead at the beginning of the month and the second would be near the end.
We have unfortunately postponed the second Double XP event due to an unseen issue with the activation of Double XP.
The second Double XP event will now take place at a later date, we are sorry for the inconvenience this has caused and we do thank you for your patience!

This does not bode well for the onslaught of all of the Chicken Littles and “The End is Near” doomsayer posts. To first, pull back on the offer that was stated a month ago and then, on top of that, admit it was yet another bug...
Prepare for the forum servers to crash.

Im so turned off by all the game breaking bugs and now they even delay an event that would at least be a reason to play again. Guys, if I can help you, just tell me.
Shall I send you some bags of coffee, so you can convert it into code?
If you fly me over, I could give you massages. I never did this before and Im probably really bad at it, but it would give my best.
You want me to lighten up the mood in your office? I know a lot of jokes. None I could write at the forums, without getting warned or banned though. Maybe this one, not that funny though:
Im really tired of all these issues, please fix them x.x

I've been defending this game since Day 1, but my patience has really ran out.... I LOVE the game and its atmosphere, but the way you are treating your customers by not fixing fundamental game breaking glitches and introducing new ones WHILE not keeping on simple promises (such as this double xp weekend), is simply disgraceful.
In business terminology, there is this thing called "the customer tolerance zone". The more you mistreat and let down your customers' expectations, the more you shift their tolerance zone up and the more difficult it gets to satisfy them on subsequent attempts...
If this game had as much content as developers had excuses... it would be the best game EVER.
Enjoy your vacations, have a great weekend, and can't wait for the next excuse.
It will probably be bugged... takes away Triple XP from players.
Fyi, theres been a double xp event on bf15 for a while now.
But... I... Made... Plans...
And who is telling us that the upcoming content won‘t include bugs, problems and all that stuff.
Sure the devs are only humans, no droids and mistakes happens, but when you look back since release, I‘ve never heard or seen a game which has disappointed players or fans so much, and tbh, I‘m ‘pro Battlefront‘.
Also Ben is missing. We don‘t know when palpatine comes back, we don‘t know when we get the hotfix, we don‘t know why exactly the double xp was canceled and We don‘t know when they want to catch up on this event.
I don’t know how to close my post in the best way, but I really have hope in the future and @ all the devs, if we, the players, could help to improve the game, not by reporting bugs 1000 times, but by testing new features idk, then let us know.
To think about:
If you compare DICE&EA‘s Battlefront II with Epic Games Fortnite, what is their recipe for success? Why is this game so hyped and why are there so less problems and bugs?
Good luck.
Honestly, it seems like they left all the decision making on this gamer to the interns...
Oh well.
I would say the actual xp bonus is not that big of a deal. What is a big deal is that this is just another instance of Dice's incompetence at running a game service.
I get that your community manager is on vacation, but what company does not have a back-up plan to communicate? Why was it left to a VOLUNTEER MODERATOR to first inform us that this wasn't happening?
Last. Dice. Product. Ever.
I feel the same, the last one came with the release of Hero Starfighter and i hoped to level up some of those, as they are pretty much the only thing left not at max, only to find out that 90% of this mode is waiting or playing regular fighters, should you be so unlucky to be the first primary of the opposing team.
Also, thanks for being so very proactive about getting the word out, so we didn't have to create a bunch of threads, so we didn't have to wait around, and drag the info out of you a day after the event was scheduled to begin.
My mostly-bedridden wife, who has chronic nerve pain, particularly in her arms and back, rearranged her medication and sleep schedule, specifically so she could get the most out out of the double xp weekend, as she really wants to level her heroes, and is frustrated that she's always getting killed by purples.
I can't wait 'til she wakes up, so I can give her the great news.
Ironically, I was just defending you guys, for once, yesterday. Way to go AFK on us. In your empty office, I bet there's a rubber band holding the servers together. Of course, your customers are the ones left running in circles.
I just can't praise you highly enough right now, and I didn't even get started on all the bugs/broken stuff.

I honestly think they forgot to turn it on, and nobody is willing to put the margarita down and drive back to the office to turn it on now.
Reminds me of that story when R.E.M. was playing live at an awards show, after the broadcast had ended. Peter Buck, the guitarist, asked the sound guy to turn the monitor speakers back on, and the guy was like "Hey buddy, I'm off work"......so Buck threw his guitar at him. Today, I wish for a torrential rain of metaphorical guitars upon your heads.

I'm not holding my breath, but I really hope we are compensated with some kind of week long Double XP event or something. I know that these types of "double" events aren't required by any means but they are a nice gift to the player base. It's a shame that we have only had a couple of them since launch and this one was so poorly mentioned and then was taken away at the last second.

(????) Not sure I uninstalled it.
It's really not OK.
And your one reason why it’s dieing cause of your negativity
Everyone is either on vacation or has "abondoned ship".
And he is just sitting there, not knowing where he is or when anyone comes buy to take him to the toilet.
Poor old man.

Its been on for a while. They must've left it on.
So DICE didn't turn turn the double xp off for SWBF 15 but DICE can't turn double xp on for this game? Priceless.
How is this latest DICE mistake going over on the redditt forums?

Lol...are you joking me..i am one of the few who play this game EVERYDAY for atleast 3 hours per day....this game is dying from bugs-lack of content etc...

What are both of you guys in the 21 club? Also thanks for revealing that all along it is has been the fault of Michaeltuma21 who introduced micro transactions, a lousy progression system, broke the servers, broke matchmaking, messed up a double xp event and killing Palpatine. We can all go on vacation while Mariobot21 rides in on his unicorn sprinkling fairy dust and gets this all figured out by being positive. Rainbows for everyone!
I fully support this position.
Diapers for Palpatine, and extra rainbows for Michaeltuma21!
Hurrah and huzzah!!
