How much fame did you earn in the "Double Fame Weekend"?
4 pages • Page 2
Only 2 points for me. My very first 2 fame in almost 1.5 years. I was on my pve WoH monk and spent almost the entire time trying to keep myself alive (or laying on the ground dead) instead of healing others. That's not my idea of a fun game. I just don't see how these other WoH monks manage to survive in there...

I went from 21 fame to 283 - but only because some guildies were trying to get to r3 and needed more people. If you ran a distinctly anti-trapper ranger build (because those were so insanely popular, especially at peak hours when middle/high school kiddies get home) you can tear through the competition. It gets a lot harder at about 1 AM though :P
, atleast i got to play monk instead of iway

Unlike many I didn't play it hardcore so only about 26 fame total I think (from 53 fame to 79)... However it was nice to run into some of the top guilds and check out their builds. We met No Opposing Party, lol and we thought we would be dead out of the gate but we did pretty decent taking out 2-3 of theirs I think before they finished us off. I don't think they were going for hardcore spike or super pressure but their build was rather odd (and they were very polite).
Best part was getting to try out different builds that I normally would never play.... Thumper for example is completely mindless, lol... I wanted to play some necro or warrior but alas I didn't get too. I got to play my trapper with a little different setup, cripshot with apply poison, and my favorite was when they made me go mostly interupt. There is nothing like shutting down monks <3 Granted with monks its mostly rapid fire to catch their skills but yeah interupting reversal twice in a row is GAWDLY!
Our builds were random so it never seemed like we were trying to do anything more than make it as far as we could and start over. *shrugs* Come midnight we couldn't win a thing to save our lives -_- (except the one henchway group >_>)
I think this was one of their more successful weekends to be sure!

I got about 200 fame, I didnt check how much fame I had before the double fame event and still havent checked, I love keeping it a surprise and will only check when I rank up, which is VERY soon, love the element of surprise. I played for about 8 hours total on the weekend, could have been more but this thing "life" kept interrupting everything, from work to going out to a family party. I enjoyed the event, but I dont love it any more then the usual 8 vs 8.
About 500... then the ViM weekend bored me into spending last 2 days PvEing.
Seriously, the metagame was probably the worst you'd ever see: In underworld, 75% of the time you faced a scrubway, 20% VIM and 5% something decent. In Burial Mounds, you invariably faced VIM (I'm assuming because all the scrubways got kicked out in UW) Broken tower = VIM about half the time, smite variants, with some scrubway sprinkled in. Scarred Earth = 2 degen teams (wow, someone else plowed through all the idiots yelling VICTORY IS MINE!! on the first three levels) and pretty much all degen and some smite from there.
Blah. If anet makes halls permanently into 6-man arena, I'm gonna fly to wherever their headquarters are, stab everyone in the face and shout "Victory is mine!"
