Currently you get 10K, so I'm assuming that 10K x 2 = 20K...

It doesn't say which value is gonna be multiplied, both are assumptions, and we just have to wait an answer from either an ANet employee or the facts from the game itself. 15K doesn't sound odd to me, but then 20K would make sense too. I hope the increase the cap finally, I mean according your title tier, like other PvP titles increase balth faction cap.

Is that runnable with heroes and henchies? And what's the route you take? Would be nice to have something to do when alliance mates are busy with other things.

extremely runnable. i go outside with 2 sf dunkoro and some random henches.
take blessing -> kill wardens in the first area till u have 25 kills -> kill necro-ele-monk bosses and resign.

7 minutes approx. little over 1000 points. had several elite tomes from bosses, always nice

Awesome, thanks!

hmmm - AB weekend... It would all be nice and dandy if you could actually enter from the Kurzick side without having to w8 15 minutes

Anryla · Jun 28, 2007, 10:52 AM // 10:52

Who said it was an AB weekend?

Granted many will go to do some AB doesnt say it is AB weekend

No....faction farming like crazy with the rest of the goons in Melandru's Hope...that place will be nuts this weekend.

I have absolutely no interest in pvp...that includes casual pvp for faction farming.

Bryant Again · Jun 28, 2007, 11:33 AM // 11:33

Well, this looks like their response to the high ranks for the title. It'll help a bit, but after the weekend, *shrug*. Pretty interesting, at the least.

drago34 · Jun 28, 2007, 11:57 AM // 11:57

I'm there, but first I need to buy some fireworks to prepare for the fourth...

william1975 · Jun 28, 2007, 12:47 PM // 12:47

great event i know what im doing, and its not ab lol, though i would have if they hadnt changed the reward system, I'll be out vanquishing mos tof it now,
love this weekend maybe get up to level 4 kurzick or level 2 luxon

Thunder79 · Jun 28, 2007, 01:13 PM // 13:13

And yeah...this isn't an "AB Weekend"...I would bet most people will be doing something other than AB to take advantage of this weekend.

Facing the Ruins the left side has one group of Wardens and then three bosses in a row by themselves

then you can continue to devastate groups in small corridors after that bring a lock pick. Chest does spawn now and then. I go Searing flames/Nuker with my Elementalist and all hench/heros.

Unless you're on a AB map that's imbalanced to your side you're better off leeching or going botting down at Melandru's Hope. AB and FA faction rewards suck.

Nah, the three middle maps aren't that IMBA. The last one is more difficult to win, but surely not impossible.

Edit:
Well, I did some three battles up to now, and the lag is just horrid, average ping time is ranging from 250 to 2500 milliseconds. D-shot is shot at random, as real interupting is out of question. Most people seem to suffer from it, this is not much fun if u ask me.

Xyzzy · Jul 01, 2007, 02:15 AM // 02:15

I am just putting this out there, but they should consider giving higher AB rewards for wins, the deeper you go into the other sides land. I mean I always think it weird that you almost pref the other side invading your land. I mean where our spoils of war...like oil? Might also up the amount of people on both side for all maps, and lower the wait time.

Patrick Smit · Jul 01, 2007, 07:54 AM // 07:54

I all ready suggested it once that it was good to put 25-50 and 50-100 % extra faction when you win on a hostile map, maybe they should even put a small disadvantage on home maps, like 10% and 25% less faction when won

Thunder79 · Jul 01, 2007, 09:36 PM // 21:36

met my goal for this weekend...got tier 1 for both of my accounts...now if only they'd have a double faction weekend so I could get all those pve-only skills easily.

oh...and I did it without any AB...what do you know...it wasn't an AB weekend after all... :rolls eyes:

baz777 · Jul 01, 2007, 10:42 PM // 22:42

This weekend was a big let down for me

Saturday: 6 hours shopping with wife then brother comes around in the evening uninvited.

Sunday: Mother in law with us all day.

Anet really should do something about this!
