Regarding the Status of Double XP

T0TALfps · July 27, 2018 1:43PM

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!

@T0TALfps

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.

How is it possible muck up double XP

Kerle · July 27, 2018 2:14PM

Even me, a die hard fan always standing by DICE and defending the hardworking Devs, seriously starts to wonder whats not broken at the moment. I mean... c'mon.

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:

A chimney sweep walks in a bar, the Barkeeper turns around and smacks a drink on the bar and says: "It's on the house!"

Im really tired of all these issues, please fix them x.x

Seriously? [removed] What possible "unseen issue" could possibly derail a double XP weekend? Did everyone on the dev team come up with collective amnesia? I feel the worst for @F8RGE because he's going to take so much grief for this because he put his name on the line. He's on vacation at the moment and now his twitter will blow up and ruin the day because no one knows how to flip the double XP switch? This game has screwed up a lot but this seems to be the most asinine failure to deliver to date. I would say "unbelievable" but, as I think we all know, it is completely believable.

DarthJ · July 27, 2018 2:19PM

Not surprised in the least. Cant even find a game in starfighter assault either, or any other mode for that matter. Its abysmal

valeri0706 · July 27, 2018 2:21PM

EA, this isn't the right way to treat your community. We are sitting here hopeful and yet you keep letting us down by not only NOT fixing fundamental bugs, but delaying things as simple as a Double XP weekends...

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...

BoothStick · July 27, 2018 2:27PM

My favorite gamemode for Star Wars Battlefront 2 ... "Blowing Smoke Up The Players' Rears"

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.

SrawDawg · July 27, 2018 2:28PM

Hey things happen right? But I think they owe it to the players to have triple XP or quadruple XP next weekend or very soon.

It will probably be bugged... takes away Triple XP from players.

Devlin21 · July 27, 2018 2:44PM

Now i remember why i started playing bf15.

Fyi, theres been a double xp event on bf15 for a while now.

the double xp pts couldnt board the escape ship and were lost to the woods so they had to killswitch it

WorldShuffle · July 27, 2018 3:46PM

To be honest .. I love(d) Battlefront II, I maxed out almost everthing and I completed every milestone, but now they have reached a point where I think this game is going to be dead. Sure there is content coming in fall and winter but with all these problems now, bugs, the issue with the hotfix which should be released ‘hot‘ or quick, but it’s still missing, Palpatine and now the double xp weekend which is canceled .. all these things make players angry or disappointed.
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?

Jett_Fett_91166 · July 27, 2018 3:49PM

How embarrassing that DICE can’t do a double xp because of an “unseen issue”. Do other gaming companies laugh at you guys? How is Palpatine?? Servers. Matchmaking.
Good luck.

‘LICE‘ in term of lies?

Must’ve been a Freudian slip but I did correct it. This really is an embarrassment for DICE. It is kind a hard to believe that $1 billion property gets treated this way.

Honestly, it seems like they left all the decision making on this gamer to the interns...

Mariobot21 · July 27, 2018 4:07PM

They could of just turn on today or over weekend and had go Friday to Monday or Saturday to Tuesday but what ever

Defbored · July 27, 2018 4:07PM

Is this even a big deal? Who cares. The game has been out almost a year. I could've used double xp months ago, but I almost have everything at max rank.

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.

Philman · July 27, 2018 4:14PM

Played since beta. Ignored lot's of bugs and other issues and continued to play because I enjoy the game despite its many, many flaws. But damn, you guys can't even throw us a Double XP bone. Good thing you didn't post this on reddit. It would have definitely been highly downvoted. You guys are a freaking mess.

Billkwando · July 27, 2018 4:15PM

Fantastic community engagement. Yet another reason why this game has been such a resounding, universal success, and was so prominently featured on the EA earnings call. Really great job, guys.

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.

(Reposting since this is the thread that people are actually going to see now)

WhiteMaceWindu69 · July 27, 2018 4:19PM

I'd have to think they knew the double XP wasn't happening some time ago, but chose to make the announcement today. Just a microcosm of the kinds of decisions that has lead to this game being a massive disappointment.

VadersPetPig_ · July 27, 2018 4:26PM

This is game’s relationship between developers and the community is YIKES.

Bactabomber · July 27, 2018 4:31PM

Unless I'm mistaken, there hasn't been a game update since the last double XP weekend so how can it be broken when it worked before?

Bactabomber · July 27, 2018 4:35PM

A few months back somebody posted a video of two guys chatting and one of them couldn't stop laughing for several minutes. I need that thread right now.

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.

Renamed1320090919 · July 27, 2018 4:38PM

BF2 devs be like....

deadbydawn · July 27, 2018 4:40PM

Dang, that is major bummer. I was looking forward to this.

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.

BoothStick · July 27, 2018 4:42PM

Ironically every other EA/DICE shooter I own has a Double XP active atm... except for SWBF2...food for thought

SWBF1 (Because its Left On)

BATTLEFIELD: 1

BATTLEFIELD: 4

BATTLEFIELD: Hardline
(????) Not sure I uninstalled it.

audiodistortion · July 27, 2018 4:50PM

It's really not OK.

auldtam · July 27, 2018 4:53PM

I cant help myself but imagine Papa Palps being probably the only one left at DICEs office.

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.

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?

Empire176 · July 27, 2018 5:29PM

I'm almost not even surprised that they've not delivered yet again, Im usually quite positive, but all these problems with the game (and not even the lack of content, just the bugs at this point) have just made me completely lose my faith in dice, ea ect.

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!!
