Heh it's not much help to me, I've unlocked everything for a W and Mo long before this xPvp. I have nearly 10k still saved up for other characters if I should ever decide to play another. I guess this is great for the more casual players who can only play a few hours at a time.

That is amazing considering faction caps out at 10k.....

Ensign · Aug 28, 2005, 12:04 AM // 00:04

Faction gained: a little over 9,000

What I've unlocked: nothing. In a wonderful display of timing, I finished unlocking my account on Monday night, just before the PvP EXTREME announcement.

Peace,

played about 12 hours so far this weekend and spent about 29k faction.

even with the lower faction rewards i think random is best as you dont have to wait to form a team and playing as a monk you make the team good enough to win.

and when you lose its less than 30 seconds till your fighting again. unlike HoH when the group just about allways break's up

Kudos to ANET for this great weekend!

Unlocks: several runes that have been taunting me for months, the +5 insightful staff upgrade, max defense staff upgrade, 10/10 sundering bowstring, and 10% furious sword hilt.

More importantly, I'm remembering how to play my Mesmer. Now that NR is only really good, my Mesmer rocks again.

Quebec Osti · Aug 28, 2005, 12:59 AM // 00:59

More or less 25k faction so far

Xma · Aug 28, 2005, 01:02 AM // 01:02

Total faction was 17k before, jumped to 100k in like 6 hours

Axle_Fieshe · Aug 28, 2005, 01:24 AM // 01:24

2 ele elites, a monk elite, two health upgrades for staff (hale & fortitude)
made around 18k faction so far

UltimaXtreme · Aug 28, 2005, 01:55 AM // 01:55

gained around 60,000 in past 2 days x.x gvg gives insane amounts

Porkchop Sandwhiches · Aug 28, 2005, 04:20 AM // 04:20

I wish the xp was always like this, I still have tons more to unlock *sigh*

I gained about 10-15k faction since this started, now at 32kish faction. Unlocked all the Necro and Mesmer elites I didnt have (don't have a spot for more characters (on second thought I'd just rather not go through to PvE crap again..) plus I'm too lazy to remake one or change a secondary class and grind out those skills points!). Working on runes next, meh!

Must go back to keeling O_o

zomg no more carrot for Ensign. I smell WoW.

Doing a reasonable amount of GvG on friday and saturday netted me about 80k in faction. Went bonkers unlocking every rune and all the worthwhile weapon mods (zealous, defese, vampiric, enchant length), and then started grabbing all the good elites.

Combined with the 40 skill points in 55 monk farming I did I should be good to go for a while.

To be honest this is the most fun I've had in GW since ... the betas. In fact, it almost feels like the betas.

Red Sonya · Aug 28, 2005, 05:49 AM // 05:49

Now all they need to do is every weekend all the npc merchants items like runes and rare materials are 100gp ea for the entire weekend. Heh wouldn't that piss off the farmers then? lol

DrSLUGFly · Aug 28, 2005, 09:41 AM // 09:41

I've gotten 15k so far and spent 10k.

I've unlocked 3 random elites (I think it was elites) just starting at the bottom and working my way up. And also 1 normal.

Well thanks to PvP Extreme I have unlocked major and Superior Absorption, 3:1 Vampiric Sword Hilt, and Major Vigor all in one day.

I had never played PvP much untill this event. I saw that you got 5x faction so I figured now was a great time to start and get some faction while I was at it. I had recently created a W/Mo so I had a fairly good amount of skills to start with. I used my build from Role Playing to start with. I did faily ok with it but I knew it wouldn't cut it in hardcore PvPing. I used the Pre-made Paladin build so I could get Healing Hands because I hadn't unlocked it in Role Playing yet. My build thus far is:

Healing Prayers: 9
Smiting Prayers: 0
Protecting Prayers 0
Strength: 4 (+1 minor)
Axe Mastery: 0
Hammer Mastery: 0
Swordsmanship: 12
Tactics: 9

Resurrect
Sever Artery
Gash
Hamstring
Sprint
Healing Hands
Mending
Healing Breeze

I don't know if this would be considered a "good" build or not, but I enjoy it and can a fare share of damage with it.

I sometimes switch up Gash and Hamstring with Galrath Slash and Final Thrust. Sometimes the adrenaline needed henders me but sometimes it doesnt.

Thanks to PvP Extreme I LOVE PvP now and plan to continue playing it. It has owned my eyes to a while new area in Guild Wars. Thank you again

Any and All Suggestions for my character is welcome and needed.

Fr3sH · Aug 29, 2005, 02:14 AM // 02:14

Im glad that this event has opened the eyes of pvers.

Let me help you out with your build though. If your a warrior, dont bring any healing spells. smart teams know to go for casters first, and if your getting attacked, that means your team is already lost. Go with all out attack skills.

Lord Kibinto · Aug 29, 2005, 05:28 AM // 05:28

the one thing i do have to complain about the pvpx weekend was the gvg. with all of the top guilds faction farming it just wasnt fun as we got steamrolled 9/10 times by guilds in the top 50 who had created guilds especially to farm faction.

Mark Twain · Aug 29, 2005, 05:30 AM // 05:30

yes, i think pvp weekend was great!! i made about 50k faction, but thats cuz i always had a set group... i loved it. 20 faction per kill...

Mystic_Karnas · Aug 29, 2005, 05:38 AM // 05:38

Yeah, it was so freaking fun, got a lot of faction, had a lot of fun, met some cool people, and some huge idiots, but all in all, I loved it.

Kaizume · Aug 29, 2005, 05:44 AM // 05:44

It was great overall! Made 6k faction, but unfortunately I have exams on monday to friday.... So that means my faction earning was cut! Managed to unlock some stuff still though!! More PvP Extreme events!!!
