I hope it won't take me 30minutes to get into 1 AB like last time when it was ancestral lands. If this does happen, i'll probably quit after a few. Ofcourse there will be many noobs in AB but whatever.. Just make sure you do have a good team.

If there's anything more annoying about AB than the occasional horrid teammates, it must be the waiting - and this will be a lot worse during the weekend. Generally, much higher noob percentage too.

Guess I'll wait 'til Monday (Titles don't mean sh*t to me).

I might catch a few fights, although I'll expect a lot of lag issues. Even on regular fights I get horrible lag (2-3 seconds delays are horrible when monking!) sometimes, and if the entire rest of GW is AB'ing too, it will probably be on the brink of unplayability.

Well, what I'm "wanting" is the usual Luxon powerhouse to keep pushing that line toward the Ancestral Lands and keeping it there for the duration of the weekend. Just makes raking in the faction that much easier.

As for "expecting"...I'm expecting to have my Print Screen button worn out thanks to all the quality builds I feel the need to record for posterity.

Problem is, there always is a long wait for the Kurzick side.. which is why i changed to Luxon a long time ago. I dont know why this is, perhaps theres just alot of Kurzicks ingame.

I will be there for most of the weekend anyway, not working for once so i can have a break and relax Ab'ing.

As for what i expect... probably alot of shouting in local " Noob, Runner, Wiki build, Mobbers"... all the usual which is normally said ^_^

I love hearing "Stop kiting Nub!" from touchers and sins. So I expect to hear that a lot. [[Pin Down] ftw.

Ill be ABing as much as is humanly posible, I want to be a lot closer to r8 by Monday.

I may, but I'll be sure to change my password to something like 48 characters in Japanese or something ridiculous like that.

I'll be there to bump my lux title up to r7 after realy getting into "SY" spammers.
TBH, I've never had high expectations for AB, I just hope the lag stays at a managable level. Should be fun though, I haven't AB'd in ages.

The ammount of newbies (i dont like calling them noobs when they just need to learn) probably won't matter much to me as when i AB i go with people from the alliance (unless its early and the time change means its 3am or so there in which case i will be PUG'ing) but i will definately be there.

I will be there, hopefully with guildies.
There will be noobs/newbs but the big faction alliances will have many of their good players in ab instead of mindlessly HFF'ing.

Do you really want an answer to that or are you being sarcastic?

Meh, I'll bite: That's where a lot of the hacked accounts have been hacked. There was a guy who hung out in AB for awhile that could kick people out of the game at will. Supposedly the bug/hole was fixed, but then another rash of hacked accounts have recently popped up. So everyone's being a little cautious about there accounts.
