Same here, my poor fingers.

That means I'll be able to maybe jump one more level (I can only play very few days a month) I did catch up to my pre-crash level (only went down one level to 65) and even managed to gain one (or two at the most - don't recall). It was enjoyable - thanks Dru!

Aw man, my poor hand I swear along with the tendonitis sneaking about I'm going to give myself carpal tunnel.

(I was planning on taking a break for a day or two when the double XP ended)

such a challenge to overcome adversity--both medical and mental (hehe)

At the risk of being ostracized by my fellow players, or maybe even hunted down and killed ...

Depending on how you calculate it, that should have been either the 18th or the 19th. It is now the 23rd.

Um, Dru ... how much longer are the Double XP and the reduced leveling requirements going to last now? I know you've probably been busy ... but I think a lot of people are getting used to the current situation. Speaking for myself, it's going to be really hard to go cold turkey.

And on the off chance it's all slipped your mind, some sacrificial lamb must step up and remind you ... so ...

"Ba-a-a-a ... "

No definitive proof (no kill a nali and see what my XP increase was, etc.), but my scores (both F1 and XP) are down, so he may have already have un-doubled them. I did, however, PM him asking that he post a followup message to this thread, so I could be wrong.

I think the first great sign would be:

Are you still getting "Double Kill!" when you kill a single Titan?

Nowhere near as frequently. The few times I have, I have killed another titan or group of bugs just recently enough that I could have attributed it to the traditional multiple-kill chaining. And this is even when I am starting on a titan which has just appeared and killing it in just a few seconds with some major damage all by myself. Of course, it could be that the titans are teleporting and could be partially damaged already...no clue as to that as I do not have awareness.

I think he's turned off the double XP, but not un-halved the requirements for invasionspree.

Feel free to disagree.
