Well I guess not too thrilled.

Does it include z-chests drops because I seem to get them a lot from the chest anyway.

Wow...thank God. I'm moving this weekend and was worried they would pull a double SS/LB weekend. Meh...no big loss to me.

SmokingHotImolation · Aug 27, 2008, 09:23 PM // 21:23

yay. Not missing out on anything ehile being away

Big_Iron · Aug 27, 2008, 09:23 PM // 21:23

Big freakin' whoop.

Jae Onasi · Aug 27, 2008, 09:38 PM // 21:38

My lucky title needs some help--my unlucky title is doing a little too well after opening a number of chests in HM.

SerenitySilverstar · Aug 27, 2008, 09:39 PM // 21:39

Do, or do not; There is no QQ.

Gli · Aug 27, 2008, 09:42 PM // 21:42

Needing less than 100k luck to max the title, this is a good time to run some newbie chests.

ShadowsRequiem · Aug 27, 2008, 09:44 PM // 21:44

Got 52 picks saved up from the other weekends time to run some chests

Well, the lockpick sellers will be doing brisk business this weekend for those hoping to rack up some points in the lucky title.

This weekend is going to be 1 big chest grind for me

HawkofStorms · Aug 27, 2008, 11:58 PM // 23:58

Ahh..

.01% chance for lockpick drop tripled equals .03% chance. Awesome, thanks A.net
/sarcasm

Seriously, they have done this before and I hate these weekends (and the "weekend to dye for," same principle). There is no real point to them. You can't "farm" specifically for lockpicks, and if you play PvE all throughout the weekend, you might not even notice if you get a couple of lockpicks, since that is well within the statistically range of probabllity on a normal weekend.

Why can't they just not have a weekend event at all? I'd much rather prefer that then these useless ones.

Thats ok, you can pretend you arent participating by leaving your picks on the floor when they drop ^.^

Not all weekends appeal to everyone, or we'd all be clones - I'll be running a few chests and hopefully breaking some picks for unlucky.....

This doesn't make sense. Tell you what, you can pretend that there is no weekend event. That way, there is no reason to complain!

EDIT: Damn, Miss Drops Az beat me to it.

Lycan Nibbler · Aug 28, 2008, 12:42 AM // 00:42

Hehe, just wait for the QQing if they ever do have a pre searing XP weekend o.O

I took HA weekend off (due to only being r4 >.<) so Im refreshed and raring to run ^.^

HawkofStorms · Aug 28, 2008, 12:46 AM // 00:46

Having weekend events constantly drives down the specialness of events. Believe it or not, GW survived for over a year with no special weekend events at all. Then, when they started they used to occur only every once in a while. Now, by constantly having them, you get qqs (PvPers complaining about PvE weekends, PvEers complaining about PvP weekends) and you get these stupid events that aren't even really events.

They stop being "special weekend events" and become just "the weekend." People start to complain "when's this weekend event going to be," "they are late with the annoucnement, OMGZ GW is dead," "A.net didn't have the event I WANTED," etc etc etc.

I'd rather they had a few GOOD events then medicore ones all the time.

If a raptor farmer gets a party full of 7 leechers, is that 0.24% chance of someone getting a lockpick (.03% x 8)?

Valid point. I retract my earlier statement.

Of the farmer getting the lockpick. Leechers shouldn't be near the raptor pit, as far as I knew.

I'm not sure whether your math on that is right or not. I'm arguing with myself whether having 7 leechers would mean that your chance would really be * 8, or whether it'd just be higher due to loot scaling, but not by any obvious amount.

Hey, ANet, I've got this great idea: Costume Brawl, every day next month. You do it, rite?

I could settle for a Boardwalk/DA/RBR weekend too.

Too easy.

O.k, you think of a great idea for a weekend event. Then I will proceed to whine and complain that it was not the weekend "I" wanted. You see how that works? Just because something might make you happy, doesn't guarantee it will make everyone happy. So what A-net does is they have several now, and try to balance it to make as many people happy as they can. While people like you try to ruin the game for others through constant whining and criticizing.

So go ahead, put in what you think a great weekend would be.
