This is Kaineng Center we're talking about. That means level 12 assassins. But as long as we can still make our own parties it's all good. Although I'd be tempted to group with them just to see their reactions...

Oh boy...with double rare loot they mean greenies? Or also golds and chests and stuff?

You all will be granted access to the elite missions throughout Cantha, we ferry everyone into Urgoz anyways, so no big deal there.

Damn you anet, damn you anet, damn you anet. They've been talking about an alternate method of access for months, and now they finally decide to add it in for one weekend with double rare drops. Why couldn't they have done this last month when I still had my good computer

.

It seems that I always miss any and all chances to make profit in this game. Oh well, at least I've been to the elite missions before.

Wow...I wonder if this will be available to all players in Kaineng Center (i.e. Tyrian and Canthan-born, and also those that haven't completed the Factions campaign yet)...

Zephyr Jackson · Jul 31, 2006, 06:50 PM // 18:50

im going to get a 15^50 Everything

Sorry to double post, but I have a question about the double rare items...

Is it like, double super secret uber items? Or is it like twice as much rares dropped?

Weird wording.

Venice Queen · Jul 31, 2006, 06:58 PM // 18:58

This is taking away the whole point of faction farming! Now everyone and their brother will keep a character at the elite missions and ferry their friends in.

/methinks Anet should of thought of the people who spend all day farming faction

....not that I am one of them.

More like twice as much. Give everyone the chance to horde.

I'm one of those that mindlessly Faction Farms to hold on to HzH. They really need some better reward for holding on to the capitals. I mean wow we get access to the elite mission, we ferry everyone into for free anyways...The only other thing you get is a discount merchant, which sells the same things cheaper just at every other holdable town. Doesn't seem worth it IMO.
