They could increase the reward to make it more appealing, they could make it easier to find monsters to make it less annoying. They could do something completely different, or they could do nothing at all. We'll find out tomorrow (if the update wasn't delayed again)

Maybe I'm just getting my hopes up. Tomorrow being the long awaited title change and this weekend being a title weekend could just be a coincidence.

It probably is just a coincidence, since most weekend events are tied to titles in some manner. But it's hard not feeling like a little kid right before Christmas, since there's so many different possibilties for improving the whole title system.

Well like someone pointed out earlier in this thread (I think it was this thread?), last weekend was an AB weekend, and we were supposed to get the title change last thursday. I'm assuming the kurzick/luxon title are going to get a big change, which is why the weekend event was AB. Again, this may have just been a coincidence too.

ANet make really good changes off and on, which is why I still have (little) hope in them.

Now that is a good idea.. +1 for that

Makes me think that something big might be happening with certain bonuses.

I hope they add an end Reward Chest for vanquishes. I've already gotten all of the titles, but at least it would give me something that's at least a little challenging to do when I'm bored on GW.

p.s. double scrolls is lol.

Pretty tired of vanquishing. At least I only have about 9 Proph and 7 EotN areas left. Maybe I'll do a couple this weekend.

scrolls actually have some value that is not obvious..

Of the top of my head, try popping a scroll when you have high DP you will notice you DP going down 300% faster if you use a bezerker or lightbringer scroll.

ZeAliX · Nov 13, 2008, 09:04 AM // 09:04

If you need scrolls to keep your dp down you are doing something really wrong, wtb better teambuild?

Didn't use a single scroll to get my leg vanquisher.

So you must have never been in a scenario where either in a dungeon or FoW where your party built up Dp for what ever reason? You are duper leet huh? You never needed to use a candy cane or four leaf clover? You must be either doing something very right or very Nerfy. Vanq = Nerfy, Leg Vanq = Long and Nerfy

Ive done Shards of Orr dozens of times now, and my friends and I have completely tweaked our builds to fit. It still seems that there are days where we get party wiped a few times. Maybe we are doing something wrong. *looks for Ursan* sigh

p.s. that Ursan bit was sarcasm. plz dont flame.

ZeAliX · Nov 13, 2008, 04:42 PM // 16:42

Well.. tbh.. maybe I used dp removal for a few times, but as I kinda stated above.. if you manage to build up so much dp that you have to use a scroll there's something wrong with your teambuild, so I usually went back into town to change stuff like that rather than wasting cash on consumables, not to mention I didn't have that much dp removal stuff when I did vanqs anyway :P

Yes, but you don't use scrolls. You use, as you just stated, CC's, Four-Leaf Clovers, or Powerstones.

Nobody uses scrolls to remove DP ffs.

Scythe O F Glory · Nov 13, 2008, 11:56 PM // 23:56

I dont like it. I have only ever vanquished 3 areas, and absolutely hated every moment of it.

Im not condoning the soul use of scrolls for DP removal, but just as an alternative. All im saying is that your DP will go down a lot faster while under the effect of a scroll. And it has come in handy a couple times on the lower levels of a few dungeons. But by all means, if your party ends up with 45dp on the last level of a dungeon thats kicking your ass then use clovers or extremely expensive powerstones if you got em. But Just FYI, a scroll will work too just as long as you can keep killing mobs.

Well, now we know. I haven't done any AB since the update, but I tested the vanquishing waters in Ferndale and raked up over 18K faction (12,200 of it was vanq. reward!

) in 57 minutes. I'm thinking the changes they made were pretty good over-all.

impression · Nov 14, 2008, 02:59 PM // 14:59

Hi,
Will we get double faction for vanquishing as well this weekend?

Thanks.

After I picked up the LMON title, I said that I was done with vanquishing and titles but with this new update, it adds the extra incentive of faction which I'm sure a lot of us could use more of!

don't gorget to grab a book as you vanquish now
