Just a positive post about DXPW being an extended one this time around:

This week hasn't been the greatest for me. My Nan started having breathing trouble on Tuesday and yesterday she phoned home, and forgot to hang up so she was trying to call 999 from the home phone. (so she wasn't getting though to emergency services) She was wheezing so badly that we (me & my mum) had to go up in the cold 6am Morning yesterday to see her and finally call an ambulance. Nan was admitted to hospital yesterday Morning, and it didn't look like she would make it through the night at first. Friday is here and not long now till DXPW happens - I have been preparing before the extended announcement things that I was planning to do this weekend. Luckily for this Extended announcement - I am now able to see my nan this weekend, while not feeling like I am going to miss out much on Xp.

So all in all - I am very grateful for this change.

Thank You. 🚑

(This is actually a REAL thing that has happened this week)

Hope you and your family (and, of course, your Nan) are okay - we're glad this change has allowed you to be more flexible with your time. There are some more important things than minimising XP waste.

hey

we now have 36h of bonus exp extended over 10days which runs first out, but i was thinking about adding a button aswell were we could turn on and off the 36h of bxp this allows us to choice what we wanna do and allow us to take breaks on heavy click intens skills without fearing of running out of time or not being able to achieve your goal due to doing too much dailies and breaks of skills etc...

Hey - this is something I've flagged for the team if we're to repeat this format.

I think the concern this time was that a toggle could be abused.

For the future I think a relatively simple solution would be to give the toggle a cooldown. Maybe an hour or something. That way people couldn't like turn it on and off constantly to abuse the timer and maximize xp on like a tick basis, as well as it perhaps lining up with doing an hour of slayer or bossing during the cooldown.

Absolutely. This is the feedback I've sent on to the devs.
