because the game is supposed to combine pve and pvp. if you just do one or the other you're missing the freaking point.

AB is really fun.

If you make a team with the specific intent to survive a base defender's attack, and then you recall in and camp and kill everything.

Honestly, that's all I ever do in AB.

Get your facts straight. A guy counted the # of PvE v PvP weekends last year, it was like 27 PvP 26 PvE. Its pretty dang even.

How is that even possible when there are 52 weeks in a year?

The Phrase "It was like" means "approxamately", or "something like that."

Also keep in mind that 2 weekend EVENTS (not the same as weekends) could have occured at the same time (ie, there could have been a double faction weekend going on at the same time as a Christmas weekend).

ab is good now and then, aspenwood and the other just plain sux...

AB is a bajillion times funner than FFF. But, if you found FFF fun, you'll love GW2, so just wait 2 years and you'll have your wish!

Adam144 · Nov 28, 2007, 08:07 AM // 08:07

AB is fun, I just like running round on my own and tagging on with some randomers.

**Marty Silverblade** · Nov 28, 2007, 08:16 AM // 08:16

I still think Faction needs to be able to be gained from killing stuff after speaking to dudes at the Luxon/Scum rez shrines, basically in the same way SS/LB/Norn/EV/Asura/Dwarf points are awarded, just that they add onto your faction amount instead of a title. I think something like this has already been implemented, but it should be a free bonus.

Sakura Az · Nov 28, 2007, 08:18 AM // 08:18

eh i don't care about all this complaining, i love AB and the more faction the better, it means i may be able to get r7 luxon this weekend.

Easy: it's the "how many trees along the road" problem, if there's one tree (=week-end) every meter (=week), then there's 53 or 52 trees for 52 meters, depending on where you position the start of your 52 meters.

Code:

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---

<-------------53 trees----------->
  <-------------52 trees----------->

(Anet should add some math quizzes into the game, anyone able to prove Fermat's last theorem gets all its titles maxed!

)

wee - double AB weekend

shadows of hob · Nov 28, 2007, 11:17 AM // 11:17

Crap, my guild just switched to a luxon alliance, no way for me anymore to get 1:2 faction for my title.

Guess I just need a guest invite in a kurzick guild to go AB.

LUXONS are mobbing! Lulz Noobs!!! Wait...thats no mob...Its Dual MM's
RUN !!

Ensorki.... (and others)

There are no "servers". That's an old wives' tale. Nothing more.

Gaile has said many times on this forum that there are limitless instances for AB just like in RA or any pve area. I don't know why people STILL stick to this belief. All you have to do to confirm this is true is look in both sides' waiting areas. Last time I looked there were 14 Kurz groups of four and only 2 Luxon. This imbalance happens all the time.

YAY DOUBLE FACTION

For people complaining it is "yet another PvP weekend"...remember PvE gets the larger events such as Wintersday - that usually lasts for a week or two? I actually think the spread is pretty good. I don't go for the PvP weekends (with the exception of the Faction-based ones). If there was a high-demand PvE event every weekend, I would spend too much time participating in the event, and noe enough time playing the game, and helping others. PvP weekends generally come as a welcome break to me.

I used to think that. But it doesn't take that long to get into an AB match, even if you're in a Deep Luxon / Kurzick territory. When the Luxon/Kurzick PvE skills were first released I'd not donated any faction. So I started doing Luxon quests I'd left and spent hours accumulating 50,000 faction toward the title. Well, I got bored of that after hours and hours of doing the same quests, so tried some AB and made up the rest in a few hours.

AB seems to almost "favour" one side then the other though. It always semeed to me that when the battle is in Kaanai Canyon, all the good Luxon Players come out after a while for some easy wins, and fight it back to Ancestral Lands. After a while of being in Ancestral Lands the better Kurzick players come out of the woodwork and beat it back to Kaanai...and the circle continues. At least, it's always seemed that way to me, because either our side consistently does well, or consistently loses.

What AB's REALLY need, are new maps. I'm tired of the same maps over and over... even a different shrine set-up or just changing the NPC's themselves (to something which could be called a 'meta'... or just basically all the cookie cutter builds being run) would do -.-

prism2525 · Nov 28, 2007, 11:38 AM // 11:38

How about a: double chance to retain lockpicks, double chance for keys and LPs to drop and 2x chance of getting golds event in ALL continents?

I'd sign this

A-farkin'-men. This same small group of maps is a total rut.
