Dang son thats alot of 2x.

that 2X is... into a sepatare line?

time to man up and train my mules i think.

I'm fine with the revised 2x times.

You do realize they are lying... New Exp methods negate this. Unless their 2x multiplies the base, it will just be a total of 3x.

5pm-7pm and 1am-9am for me. At least they're starting to include Aussie-friendly times now. And at least this time, it's more than 1 hour.

Nice work there. It prompted me to try it and I can confirm your results. The exp is still multiplicative after all. It's just that now we see the 1x base at all times.

The next test is a Party zone. I am going to test it shortly.

With just a normal party of a pair of 200s, it seems that the party bonus is only counting for the base exp. If this is true for a party zone, then there will be significant exp loss there.

EDIT - Bad news confirmed. The party bonus (both inside or outside of a Party Zone) does NOT calculate on the bonus line. It only counts the base line. This is a significant loss of exp in Party Zones.

10am-noon and 6pm-2am for me. I can live with that.

Right now is... 8.35am PST, 06/22/13 USA format. Somebody didn't flick the 2X switch...

I still could go from 200-203 in ~3 hours at future perion golems so i think it is warranted.

all the people i know are getting to 203, i'm gonna cry.

and it seems the 2x exp bonus only works on the base exp, i activated guild buff and mercedes link, and they didn't get increased either.

It stacks with HS, probably with 2x EXP cards too, the event, I mean, so it's pretty much almost just like before.

The 2x coupons we got from Hot Day stacked with the 2x event and with HS. I was getting 5x the base exp as bonus exp, for a total of 6x. Party bonus and Mercedes link bonus were not affected by any of the other multipliers.

it seems to pretty much just affect monster base exp now though. while "other exp buffs" (ring, pendant, guild banner, link skill) aren't affected.
