The BF1 Calendar hasn't been updated for this weekend but we have been told it will be 2x XP EVERY Saturday.
Can anyone confirm the usual will happen or is this weekend back to being standard for some reason?
Can confirm:
It said "Holiday - 2 XP" - During the Holiday event, there was 2 XP every weekend. But there's much in store for 2018, so stay tuned.
Well, the Calendar says: "Login and enjoy double experience points for Battlefield 1, Battlefield Hardline, and Battlefield 4 every Saturday."
Judging by the last few weekends these have lasted from the Friday to the Sunday. I have just logged on and there is no 2x XP and the calendar has not been updated.
I find it very disrespectful that EA is making us, the customers, do all the chasing for clarification on offers. Why can they not give timely updates and clear details of the 2x XP weekends/Saturdays?
Of course notifications could be more precise about the weekend covered by double Xp. Anyway, we will know it by the end of the day!
No, there´s no more 2XP this Saturday.
This was only offered during the 4 weeks of Battlefield Holidays, and that event ended on December 31st.

Sorry.

I am sorry that is simply not good enough. The calendar said 'every Saturday' NOT 'every Saturday in the holiday period which is quite undefined and arbitrary'.
The calendar still says this. I think it is a pretty low trick to say every Saturday and not mean it. For people who work full-time, like me, I can only play on a Saturday so to level up is taking me a long time. When I saw this offer I thought that finally something is being done to actually reward loyal customers who just don't have much free-time.
Why is there not 2x XP every Saturday? What harm would it do?
The calendar tells us 2 concrete dates for the latest 2XP weekends, DEC 22-24 and DEC 29-31.
In contrast, Friday Night Battlefield says "every Friday night".
But there will be more regular 2XP events 🙂
It was terribly misleading and now very disappointing.
Also, that still doesn't answer my question.
Can no one answer me?
@MujiXxX @EA_Joker ' s reply was more than clear. The event is over. Whatever is in store for January, we will find out soon.
This week we have the Capricorn dogtag mission and this month there will also be the release of the second part of the Turning Tides DLC, so they might have some events linked to that. Also the calendar specified exactly the days for the 2x week-ends.
The web team and the dev team were operating with a skeleton crew in december, as you can imagine they are also human beings and have the right to rest. You know, around this time of year a lot of us, are getting a vacation for holidays, to be with the loved ones. Them are no different. And those unlucky people that worked during holidays to cater to the customers deserve a wee bit more than this.
The calendar was always incomplete, covering either big events or DLC launches, but not covering always what would happen outside those. So the only way to know exactly what event we have was to log-in in the game and check.
And it says clearly that the 2x was available only for the Holiday event, with the exact dates when that happened. Each week-end in december, during the event was a 2x week-end. You can also see the exact dates for the missions, log-in rewards and such. The calendar was pretty detailed for the event. But the event ended on January, 1st.
Also, i will point that the xp is meaningless after reaching rank 10 in each class (which can happen really fast). Class rank 10 is the maximum you need to unlock each and every weapon from the base game. The normal rank level will only give you a dogtag at each 10 levels reached (pure cosmetics). The DLC weapons and the perks are unlocked only doing stuff in the game. Again, XP will not do anyhting for you. So once you hit class rank 10, you can play at your own pace. Sooner or later you will be there, hitting the 130 rank level and the 50(60) class levels.
I also work, sometimes 10-12 hours/day, lose around three hours in transit. Somehow i manage to squeeze a half hour/one hour of playing BF1 (or anything else that is allowing me to relax a bit after a hard work day). I prefer to keep my week-ends open for activities with people i care about (family, friends). I prefer to not let a game dictate my life. It's healthier that way. The moments that you can get with your loved ones vastly surpass anything that a game may offer at any given time. Games are supposed to be fun and relaxing and far too many people seem to have forgotten that in our days. If you can get fun from a game, you are better off doing something else. We are tense enough from our modern lives, we don't need to add more stress factors.
