they should make a quadriple drop of crystallines from HoH. That would make HA full beyond capacity, my word.

Next event:
Double the lag, double the fun.
Add a whole new level of excitement as you fight through hordes with epic handicapped reflexes. During this weekend you will enjoy twice the lag as normal and have three times the chance of a disconnect too.

Oh, an event for the rich to work on their titles. Woo!

And... double AB faction weekend please.

They should do double elite weekend. As in, let you have 2 elites on your bar in PvE.

I imagine that could get quite interesting.

So...

Let's say I farm in hard mode. I make about 3 plat per 15 minutes. Say I want 10 lockpicks. That's worth five runs, which equals about an hour and 15 minutes. I have a 10% chance to retain the lockpick. I go chest running for an hour. I successfully retain one lockpick, and destroy 9 plus the one I retained. That nets me 500 lucky points and 500 unlucky points. Unlucky title, first tier, is at 5000, and it's useles... Lucky title, first tier, is at 50 000 points. I would therefore have to retain 500 lockpicks to get the first tier, and 2% bonus for my lockpick retain chance. 500 lockpicks retained equals 500 sets of ten farm runs.

Which equals about 26 days and one hour.

Not to mention the time it takes to find and open lots of chests.

What purpose does this weekend serve again?

And why don't the lockpicks work more like lockpicks should work? Like have 50 uses and 10% chance of opening the chest instead of losing one use???

i recon this is quite cool. tickets cost a fortune in the end but then again say 10 sucesfull picks would get you 50,000 points this weekend. looking at this i recon spending 1.5k on lock picks wouldnt be that bad

Corinthian · May 16, 2007, 03:52 PM // 15:52

10 successful picks would be 5000, not 50 000. ANd it would costs 100 picks without counting the retained ones, which costs 150 000 gp.

Sir Skullcrasher · May 16, 2007, 05:41 PM // 17:41

I guess the best way to get lucky title other than spending money on stack of lockpicks would be doing the festival tickets game?

MagicWarrior · May 16, 2007, 06:41 PM // 18:41

If it was "Double Your Chance To Retain Lockpicks"... now THAT would be an awesome event!

Flaygor · May 16, 2007, 07:00 PM // 19:00

Blimey A-net you are seriously out of ideas at this point. Would it be so hard to have a weekend event that people actually cared about? I think a weekend event that involves unique drops is the way to go (i'm thinking weapons). Not more double this that or the other tosh!

Red · May 16, 2007, 07:00 PM // 19:00

Eh I will do this weekend like i do the others and just play it casually, since I don't have the funds for enough lockpicks for it to matter at all. For the rest of your rich folks though GL and happy chest hunting ^_^!

shirosae · May 16, 2007, 08:04 PM // 20:04

This weekend, players will be able to enter three times the number of characters in the Party Search description box! Also, Party Search will be global but only if you run 0 in inspiration because mesm

tyche7 · May 16, 2007, 08:25 PM // 20:25

It's double lag out weekend!! Experience double the lag and get kicked off twice as much!! Of course you have to be rich and have a LOT of time on your hands to take advantage!!

Yep. Actually, you only need about 100k to win 50,000 tickets in the Nine Rings. It's alot easier than finding chests and hoping your lockpicks don't break to be honest.

Lydz · May 16, 2007, 10:46 PM // 22:46

I don't really mind the fact that the weekend event is what it is...I'd just like to see another double Luxon/Kurzick faction week

I think many more people could make use of it.

Yea, Factions could use the love...

Well, if you are getting close to the next tier, it might be worth it if you want the next level of your title real bad. Unlucky- 30,000 gold per 1,000 points for finding and losing your lockpick on twenty chests.

Australian GW weekend, where everyone gets their ping raised to at least 350ms for the weekend.
