meh - I'll pass

Same. Guess I'll finally try to finish that Shivering Isles add-on to Oblivion.

Exactly what I bought GW for!

But GW is about skill! And it is great for casual gamers, as there is no grind and everyone starts out on an even level! :sarcasm:

ANet is really funny. They start out innovative and then go back to re-invent the standard grind MMO.

Plus more repetitive grind, minus content and diversity.

Something about the existence of double pts/reduced grind weekends tells me that something went wrong with this game and makes me fear for their "new and innovative" ideas for GW2.

It is optional, thus not grind.

I called it.

About time they had a PvE weekend. Those PvP noobs keep getting double weekends and we get nothing

I think differently, especially EOTN titles are tied to PvE skill effectiviness and are requirements for consumables, armors and so on.

Of course, if you want to stretch it, then you can say it is optional. But so is playing GW at all.

Aw, shucks. And I've just finished watching Code Geass this week. I'll have to get something interesting for the weekend. Is Kyle XY any good?

Season 1 was. Not sure about season 2 as a whole as I can't stand DSR version of shows and (according to first 3-4 episodes of season 2) how Kyle went from innocent newborn into mysterious, "I can't tell you or you might get hurt", and "I want to do this so you'd better let me" kind of guy, which I don't quite like.

The fact the season 2 seems to focus more on Jesse XX doesn't help either.

So, we all saw the effects of the double ss/lb weekend, we basically went over the favor limit

Will the same happen this weekend? People have the potential to max out even more titles than the double SS/LB weekend, and it would be nice to be assured that anet has set the max favor level much higher or at least fix it where it wont "break" and reset itself

Any info on this?

garethporlest18 · Feb 27, 2008, 09:28 AM // 09:28

Um Shoyon the only thing that would go towards this is r6 Master of the North. The other 4 titles don't count. At least thats' what I heard.

Uber Mass · Feb 27, 2008, 09:30 AM // 09:30

yup doesnt count towards favor....

MithranArkanere · Feb 27, 2008, 02:29 PM // 14:29

Oh, nice. I'll vanquish the remaining 8 areas, and then repeat the easiest ones for Vanguard and Asura.

Celestial_Kitsune · Feb 27, 2008, 03:02 PM // 15:02

Some people claim that the faction reward will apply to dungeon as well. Can someone confirm this? Did it work for dungeons last GWEN double weekend?

quickmonty · Feb 27, 2008, 03:05 PM // 15:05

Friday, you will earn double Asura, Deldrimor, Ebon Vanguard and Norn reputation points for completing quests and defeating foes while under the effects of a shrine bonus. Points for completing books are unnafected.

EPO Bot · Feb 27, 2008, 03:29 PM // 15:29

When this is done, i don't think there will be much grind left.

i think completing a dungeon is the same as completing a quest? not sure correct me if im wrong

Squishy ftw · Feb 27, 2008, 03:38 PM // 15:38

I guess I'll use it to get closer to max my last 2 rep titles.

Altho I'll probable be too bored of it after an hour or 2 and end up playing my monk anyways.

For you maybe?

I won't be able to play this weekend, so it won't help me one bit.

Each dungeon has a quest associated with it, but the quest reward does not include faction, at least not explicitly.

if it doubles your points its only worth while the first time.... It does at least effects "the missions" i think
