Another Double Reward Weekend 26 September 2006

This coming weekend, from Noon PDT on Friday, September 29 through 11:59 p.m. PDT on Sunday, October 1, you will receive double experience from capturing elite skills. Instead of gaining 250 times your level in XP, you will receive 500 times your level. Join Guild Wars this weekend and enjoy the bonus XP.

Quite a bit of XP but completely useless, unless maybe you're a Survivor. Oh well only a few more "double your <whatever>!" weekends to go before Nightfall

Not entirely useless! More xp means more skill points. More skill points mean more cap sigs. More cap sigs mean more caps, which give more xp! Wooo! It's a sweet, sweet cycle.

What great timing. Ive just restarted capping. Going to try for 180 elites before Nightfall. 120 or so to go.

Stemnin · Sep 27, 2006, 12:02 PM // 12:02

I need to go farm and make 150k by this weekend to pay for 1k cap sigs.. yay.. or not.

cataphract · Sep 27, 2006, 12:22 PM // 12:22

Great thing. I still have like 50 skills to go. This will bring me even more xp points. \o/

Yajinden · Sep 27, 2006, 12:29 PM // 12:29

Quite useless form me, i already capped the 180 elites months ago when factions began, so i cannot cap anythig else until nightfall. And i have no interest in doing that again with other character. Ill seek wally instead maybe he has an elite too .. :P

FalconDance · Sep 27, 2006, 02:12 PM // 14:12

I'm still looking for a few caps, but really.......these endless 'special' weekends are getting a little worrisome. Does Anet think we won't want to play unless they keep giving us treats?

Avarre · Sep 27, 2006, 02:14 PM // 14:14

I'll care about this event only if they give me not only bonus xp on skills I've captured, but retroactive xp on the 90 elites I capped before Factions was out.

SirShadowrunner · Sep 27, 2006, 02:17 PM // 14:17

Dangit this is about 3 weeks to late, lol, just got first elite title
on Assassin, don't want to many more of the skills left, waiting
for Nightfall to start capping again, if I read this right you only
get double XP from the cap itself, so you won't be "saving up"
skill points you will using one and getting one back at almost
the same rate.

Jetdoc · Sep 27, 2006, 02:18 PM // 14:18

Excellent idea for a weekend! I have several uncapped elites on each of my characters - time to dust them off and go get 'em while there's a boon for doing so.

Kook~NBK~ · Sep 27, 2006, 02:24 PM // 14:24

For everyone who's going to take advantage of this event, Good luck and have fun!

For everyone who'se "been there, done that" (like me), enjoy not being rushed to get as much done as possible before the event's over.

Shantel Span · Sep 27, 2006, 02:39 PM // 14:39

Yay for already having all the caps! Maybe I'll get Eprodigy on my warrior just because...

luinks · Sep 27, 2006, 03:10 PM // 15:10

YAY wonderful now i will cap all my monk skills that i missed...
oh wait...capped all elites last week T_T

Eviance · Sep 27, 2006, 03:40 PM // 15:40

OMG BAD TIMING! >_< Redly and I are finally having our wedding ceremony 3.5yrs after the fact... We wont get any time for this ;_;
I so needed this one too!!!! -_-

*crosses fingers and PRAYS that the weekend after this is double skill point weekend!*

Alleji · Sep 27, 2006, 03:46 PM // 15:46

*yawn*

The only one of my characters that needs skill points already has all elites. And the skillpoints are needed for capping nightfall elites... :/

At least this isn't as useless as double scrolls. Player excitement about weekend events has increased by 4.9% from double scroll drop event's 0.1%. Keep trying, anet.

exiled mat · Sep 27, 2006, 04:50 PM // 16:50

didn't we got enough xp allready from those rather useless XP quests in factions? give me FREE cap sigs

Big_Iron · Sep 27, 2006, 04:55 PM // 16:55

I'd rather see a double fame weekend again. It got me playing HA for the first time which is something I managed to avaoid for over a year. But I can understand why some people would like this.

dargon · Sep 27, 2006, 05:41 PM // 17:41

Ok, one of these threads was already closed due to negativity. ANet is GIVING us something, who cares if you don't need it, it's not like it's causing you any problems. If you don't like it, keep it to yourself.

Big_Iron · Sep 27, 2006, 05:50 PM // 17:50

I don't think many people are being that negative. And if people don't say what they think, how will Anet know what the community wants? I'm not an advocate of bitching and whining, but telling people not say say anything unless it's positive is kind of like censorship. :/

Sir Skullcrasher · Sep 27, 2006, 06:31 PM // 18:31

Hurray another double reward weekend. Guess i can finally level my monk and sin into level 20 now.
