Seems the code was fixed since I first input it. Tried it again after hearing people saying it’s been successful, and sure enough, it worked first try today.
glad I didn’t have to submit a ticket for 1 skin (nor miss out on getting the skin due to not wanting to submit said ticket).
Cheers.
Hey, how about you just give everybody back another 24-hour 3x exp code? Can that be arranged? I’m pretty sure that everybody can get a lot more out of 24 hours of 3x exp that only applies when they actually play than out of a couple of days of 4x exp, during which they may not even be able to play.
Also, wasn’t there also a credit boost with the exp boost? There was a credit symbol along with the two exp symbols, and we all seemed to be getting way more credits. Will there be a credit boosted weekend as well?
I’m actually thrilled the 4x xp is happening across a couple of weekdays.
All of the events thus far have taken place on weekends (albeit they are sometimes extended like the last loopocalypse - but they are always originally SCHEDULED for a weekend).
My weekends are almost always packed solid with things going on, but I actually have evenings free to play. This will be one of the first times that I can actually take advantage of something like this.
Edit: having re-read what you wrote, providing a code for when people could use the xp boost would also be viable, but it also may result in the same SHiFT issue that was just experienced.
didn’t wanted to sound rude, sorry
Thank you, Joe. I was wondering why the scope looked I was looking through a metal paper towel tube.
Wait. Hang on. I didn’t even see that this impromptu “event” was only Thursday and Friday. Do they really think that two WEEKDAYS of bonus exp is equal to 24 in-match hours of triple exp? It’s going to take over 20 hours of continual gameplay – and that’s nothing but searching for and playing matches, no accounting for bathroom breaks, eating, or making loadouts, and with only a matchmaking time of only three minutes – at 4x exp to make up for the 24 hours of 3x in-match exp that we had with the shift boost. That they’re doing it on a weekday means that they’ve guaranteed that most people won’t even come close to getting what they would’ve gotten, and that’s if they can play at all. I’ve got at least two friends who I play with regularly who won’t be able to play at all on those days.
As for the edit, yeah, it might. A) I can’t see how anyone would be hurt too badly by that. B) Maybe instead of taking away what they already gave us and throwing an poorly thought-out event they should fix the problem and try again. The shift code system is obviously in need of fixing, so why not do that?
The XP boosters were never 24 hours of in-game time. They were just 24 hour boosters. The timer ran down whether you were in game or not. Same with the marketplace boosters. So you’re not losing out on anything here. Also, the Quad XP event is for Thursday only. It starts 8am PT on Thursday and ends 8am PT on Friday (24 hours later).
It’s not 24 hours of in-game 3XP. It was just as all boosts are, for a continuous 24 hour period from the moment that you activate it.
I think it’s more than fair giving us a Quad XP boost for 24 hours, even if it’s on a specific date. They didn’t have to give us any of this anyway, the original boost and skins were simply a bonus they gave last weekend and they’ve made up with the issues with what they are now offering.
@Martok @Kaleidodemon The timer definitely didn’t tick when you weren’t in a match. It stayed still in Command until you finished a match and came back, at which point it had gone down to reflect the time used. If it counted time spent in the game but not in a match then I couldn’t tell.
The time ticked down when I was not in a match. The time ticked down when I wasn’t even in game.
Aww. Still ok with it though. I read this:
To mean starting 8am PT Thursday through (as in all the way through) Friday, not that it would end at 8am PT Friday. I read it to mean all the way through as Joe never stated an end time.
I think it’s fair as well. And I agree that they didn’t have to give us anything. But I am thankful for it! I can now master some of the characters that otherwise aren’t my preferred play style without painful grinding.
Same here. I remember watching it tick down, so it was 24-hours of real time, not game time. I got, maybe, five or six hours total out of it before it expired because I logged off late Saturday night and it was gone by the time I got back in Sunday afternoon.
Just a gentle reminder, a world outside mainland USA actually exists … consisting of parts such as Asia, Australia and Europe 
Meaning, for instance, that 8 a m, pacific time, equals 4 p m for the player base in England,
and 5 p m in countries such as France, Germany, Holland, and Sweden.
I e, rather party time and excellent 
Im online on PC, can’t find any players and not getting any extra exp. please advise.
Im in AUS, see people posting on forums all the time but get any games, is PC dead, has S2 abandoned?

How…how is that any better?
Yo, 20 minutes in and still no x4 xp event ^^, guys, please don’t lag!
Yea, wondering, should we expect a command menu icon signalling 4 xp or are things rolling invisibly?
Quad XP definitely hasn’t started at the specified time. I’ve just played a 30 min game that started after 8am PT and I’ve only received the normal amount of character XP.
Maybe, as “usual”, the Thursday rollout update goes only at 12pm PT for the Battleplans…
