No wander i got 3 lockpicks dropped for me when i was getting Gwen her gift!

there is still little bit of time to run lockpick for double points :P
wish i knew about it sooner though

Gah! That was the very last weekend event I had been waiting for on the GW1 side and now they ninja'ed it

and I didn't even log in during the weekend. Can we have a rerun next weekend, please!

Since the weekend events are "automated" now, the double lucky/lockpick event is probably over. It'll be nice that the PvP people will have a heads up on their event this weekend, or at least know to look around for double w/e points

well I went to Ascalon Foothills and was using some lockpics testing a build. Low and behold.. I was getting 500 lucky per retention. My retention rate is 88% so I retained quite a bit.

In 3 hours I managed 60,000 lucky points. I asked my guild.. um why am I getting 500 points to the lucky per retiontion of my key. I got flamed. Unfortunately for me that was sunday night. I have 232 lockpicks left. I played 10 hours on sat and 3 on friday night. I could have gotten 260,000 points in that span and that would have given me Golden had I known.

Anet, please announce this when it comes out as I am looking to MAX this title. So with 232 keys at 88% it should be able to open 1900 chests by the time I break all of my picks. * i will reach Golden before they are gone giving me 2% more retention* so this number is reasonable.

that will yield me 475,000 more lucky and I will be half done with the title

darn, i didnt come into guru over the weekend so missed this thread

I mentioned the issue to Regina last night. She promised to forward it to those concerned but said that the weekend events are basically automated and there's little chance of a rerun

Dzjudz · Feb 03, 2010, 12:38 PM // 12:38

That makes me wonder what the coming weekend's event will be

They can't/won't make an exception for an event that happens only twice a year?

I hope it gets posted as soon as someone figures out what it is - assuming there is one hidden behind wintersday. It was kind of nice to be able to switch back and forth and avoid burnout from grinding one thing all weekend.

Probably a pvp weekend as it was a pve (lockpick weekend last week)
