    it's a Q event, all he does is double your in-game rewards for as long as the buff is active
    so yeah, no discount on anything

    No, but kinda yes.
    No because there is no actuall discount at the C-Store.
    Yes, because the XP double is like getting multiple free XP boosters from the C-Store only better ones.

    Plus you get double the amount of emblems which you can save up for a C-Store ship.

    Really cool event. I bought the game at launch but left after my month was up, and I just came back with the Alienware promotion, so this is my first time seeing it.

    Anyone got a list of all the creatures Q can turn you into? I recognize most of them, but what are the dark & bright floating humanoid aliens? They're quite cool.

    So is there a way to identify if your XP Boost is up or has run out (without going all the way back to talk to Q)?

    The blue shiny aliens are Devidians... you´ll encounter them soon enough. :)

    There should be a buff icon on the ground and in space. :)

    This would be an awesome event if it worked for me as is it doesn't not matter what ive tried and on all my characters, sadly I will miss out on sat and sun and already did like 3 hours worth of missions trying to get the bonus working...a bonus I wont see applied to what has been done either in my journal logs. Ive asked around it doesnt seem to be a server wide issue just onesy and twosy, Im lucky I was screwed so others wont be.

    Has the latest return of having to mash the fire button in space combat been fixed yet? Although I want to level my Klink, I won't when the annoyance of repeating missions is only swapped with the annoyance of having to continuously hit the fire button.

    I had the same issue early this morning on the character I tried. I got the boost on Nyrez and went out but everything I did I only gained normal amounts. Nothing was doubled.

    I hope they fix this and extend it an extra day for every day it is broken.

    Update #1: Just got back on Nyrez, went and got a new QXP boost and then went back out. Still not getting double anything. :(

    Update #2: I got on again early this morning (8-21) and was getting double xp just fine. I was still getting the following messages in the system chat though. Then it seemed as though it stopped working again as I started only gaining 1 point from some enemies. Not sure what it going on really! :eek: lol

    Are there any known issues with the QXP your QA team is looking into?

    Not yet.. however if you follow the steps in this post, you should be able to temporarily fix the problem yourself. It only works for the map instance you're in and is likley to bork up when you re-zone (loading screens) or when you open the options menu again.

    Why is it that every time we have a Q weekend, it's the weekend that everyone IRL wants my attention for something? *sigh* Only managed to get a couple of hours so far, when my normal gaming time at the weekend is usually in double figures.

    Hoping to get my Klingon to LG in these last remaining hours...

    I think they're doing the Q-Boost as a once a month thing. And for those who are sitting at endgame. You can make a new character. Maybe take that VA and use the opportunity to get double Emblems for things you're wanting to get (Equipment, Weapons), maybe even that ship you're wanting to get (Excelsior Refit, Nebula Refit, MVAM Prometheus, or any of the KDF side ships if you have a KDF character).

    I hope that they will make this a whole week event, how strange it might sound I rarely get to play in weekends at all.
