Curse

We've had all sorts of double-this-double-that. I would like to suggest a Double Skill Point event.

Some of us have depleted our skill point reserves when earning the skill hunter titles. I have 19 skill points currently (I was down to 1 when I finished ASH), and I'm sure I'll have enough for the Nightfall elites, but it'll be close.... leaving little for normal skills, let alone UAX.

So I suggest Double Skill Points, either by a 2-for-1 weekend, where every earned skill point gives you 2 points. Or simply double the experience points earned for the weekend.

Thoughts?

I'm against it, since very few people are [crazy enough] attempting to get a Skill Hunter title.

All my characters have 50+ skill points, and they have most of their skills unlocked.

I definately don't need more.

i would prefer double exp from everything. that way it helps out survivor seekers and skill point seekers.

I would like to see... Ecto-Mania!

All monsters everywhere can drop ectos and obsidian shards for the entire weekend! Increased drop rates!

I'd be giddy.

The double skill poijnts idea is pretty crappy, my warrior has 105, with about 20 warrior skills to unlock. I have all the 'main' ones..

The ecto-mania would be TERRIBLE. Prices would lower, FoW less respected, yadda yadda yadda.

Who the hell cares about prices?! It would be great playing/farming mass-madness.

Do you think people actually respect FoW armor?

The only problem I see with this is that skill points are not as easily earned as chest hunting and faction. In order to gaint he points you have to get your experience from quests or from killing things. Apart from UW or FoW, there aren't that many repeatable quests to make it something that all people will have easy and quick access to. If you've done all the quests in the game, you are now forced to go kill mobs and go about getting the points slowly, or spend money to buy scrolls to speed it up, in other words, grind, grind, grind. Doesn't sound like my idea of a fun weekend.

I'd much rather see HALF-PRICE skills, than doubel skill points.
Some of us can't afford 1k per skill :/

OMG!! i want double-fame points please!!

xBakox · Aug 18, 2006, 05:24 PM // 17:24

I'd like double fame weekend or a half-price-on-skills weekend. The double fame weekend might be a little overboard but whatever.

Here some skill ponits for you. I dont need them all

Legendary Shiz · Aug 18, 2006, 05:38 PM // 17:38

Impressive.

I need some skill points saddly, collectively I have about 60 left on my ACCOUNT. Granted I do have a lot of the normal skills unlocked, but it gets tight when I go on my capping sprees.

Sir Skullcrasher · Aug 18, 2006, 06:03 PM // 18:03

I have more skill points than fame!

Bad idea for all the above reasons, otherwise it would be sezzy to do this "right" before the new campaign, only cause we have a ton of skills to get AGAIN (unless they are giving them as rewards like in Tyria, then its a moot point).

Double fame would be nice, but then you would have even more noobs with deer running around flashing off what they could only earn so quickly with a double fame weekend (even tho I would love to have my bambi, I will work on it the long hard old fashion way). Double XP weekend works for me tho.

MarcinJ13 · Aug 20, 2006, 01:52 AM // 01:52

There are few groups of people with different targets in minds. And that's a good thing. I admit I'm always short on skill points. However I have to disagree with the idea. Mainly because it would lead to creation of many new characters, getting them through beginning of Factions and unlocking almost all at once. And you cannot limit it to monster exp and not give it for quests.

I have other suggestion: Instead of Double-Exp weekend, award additional skill point every 5 or 10 or 20 virtual levels.
