Only thing we need to worry about is who's going to control favor. Other than that, farm as much as you can while it lasts. Territories will be fighting for it.

Favor means nothing this weekend. It's wide open.

Superb idea for an event! Best one in a while. I can work on my Ele solo build now in the UW without it costing me a fortune.

I'll be doing the same thing

Finally I get to see what these areas look like. I don't have the time to set around hoping America will gain favor. I don't mind the cost to enter, but the favor system sucks. After this weekend they should ditch the favor system.

Yeah. Favor system is wrong on so many levels, a brief stoppage of the absurdity is like... well, you've put it so well I can't add anything I haven't already in previous threads.

So... I agree with what Vitis says.

PS: Purple glob worshipping (because they've only ever got one) noobs - and i don't use that term lightly - attempt to talk about the GW 'economy' like rabbits try to talk about astronomy, completely missing the central truth that ANet can control the economy any time it wants by adjusting drop rates.

PPS: Anyone who previously considered dropping the Favor system would cause massive problems for the devs is hereby humbled and silenced by the way.

Whats the bet they're probably gonna implement this sooner or later. They did the same thing with 6vs6 HA, only this time people actually want this to happen.

Neo Nugget · Mar 21, 2007, 02:53 PM // 14:53

I hope!^^^^!!!!!!

Tutis Evito · Mar 21, 2007, 02:58 PM // 14:58

Shame its my anniversary this weekend...no chance to farm

i hope ectos dont stay low for to long....hope they increase in price....

Dougal Kronik · Mar 21, 2007, 03:32 PM // 15:32

Should be fun going in with some friends and finally doing the quests.

ll Minx ll · Mar 21, 2007, 03:54 PM // 15:54

I don't mind the 1k to get in, i DO mind the favor, as nowadays America rarely got favor. And many many players have too much to care for in real life, instead of sitting about waiting for some dudes to win Halls -_-

I like to see it open at all times, so people with family, work, school, whatever, anyone could get in when they want and can, out of their own personal reasons.

That mindset contributes a lot to America not getting favor as much as we used to; everyone is waiting for _someone else_ to win halls.

Lately we've had favor every time I have been online (about 9-10pm EST)

I'm very pleased about this, I'll finally get to test the solo FoW para build.

BenjZee · Mar 21, 2007, 04:36 PM // 16:36

sounds brilliant, i get to test my ranger spike trap build! yay

takes me awhile to get used to builds, nicely timed this was as i just made my armor adn bought my skills, and got ascended on ranger.

Ecto prices may be interesting

some guy · Mar 21, 2007, 05:10 PM // 17:10

Ummm..... think about the GW economy after this. Ectoes will be like 5k each?? and shards will be like 1k each?

beltran13579 · Mar 21, 2007, 05:10 PM // 17:10

im just wondering if most of you are gona be testing builds,soloing or getting into real groups

Miss Persephone · Mar 21, 2007, 05:18 PM // 17:18

I'm going to be dual farming like crazy for those last ecto I need for FoW armor. And I'm hoping the price of ecto drop so that those I don't get myself I can buy for cheaper prices.

I hate the favour system, don't see why PvP has to influence PvE when there is no relationship in the opposite direction. However I've brought it up when Gaile is around for chats in Kamadan and she didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with the current system. And no, I don't want to listen to trashtalk in PvP just so I can do an area in PvE. The two should not be linked.

Main reason might be that i'm not PVP:ing alot =) and i don't like that fact that PvE experience relies on how well PvP:ers perform.

For the PvP:ers do not rely on other PvE players in any way.

How about you could only enter HA and gain fame if PvE players from your region did well in a special mission. If that was the case PvP:ers would burst into hellfire flames if they were relying on PvE:ers. But, PvE players must accept the fact that they rely on PvP:ers

I have PvPed some, I've won halls back in the days, but i'm not a dedicated PvPer. And i'm not speaking for myself only when i say i want the realms open regardless of favor, many share this opinion.

All statues of Grenth and Balthazar located within outposts will be active for characters who are qualified to enter these areas.

Ascension is a qualification. However, there will be plenty of UW and FoW n00bs who never wanted to spend the cash to go there.

Guess that includes me. . .Been on for 2 years, went into FoW once and got routed in .2 s. Weee. This weekend may be like getting an expansion pack for me.

BTW, I'm a W with all secondaries unlocked. I know there's a whole forum of farming builds but good advice is still good advice. . .

Viet Spirit · Mar 21, 2007, 06:26 PM // 18:26

it will be fun for me and my guildies to use B/P in UW. We (2 players + 6 heroes) cleared most of the UW (except the Smites - SoJ owns our MM) in 1:30 to 2 hours I think. Maybe a bit less dont remember. only 2 ectos for 2 of us. I believe most ectos are stolen by our heroes

as I think B/P build is great for UW, why dont we BP in UW instead of Tomb this weekend as most monters in UW drop ectos, unlike 2,3 ectos max drop in Tomb per run?
