Hero Weekend

Heroic Weekend Ongoing 6 March 2007
Bring your Heroes or recruit new ones this weekend, for they will get double XP while they are below you in level. Plus, you will have double the chance of acquiring Hero armor upgrade pieces in Dajkah Inlet, Remains of Sahlahja, The Shadow Nexus, and Gate of Anguish. The event will run from Noon on Friday, March 9 through 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, March 11.




Might have to finally finish upgrading my hero's armor

Awww...you beat me to it.

Sweet - maybe there will actually be people forming groups in Dajkah Inlet....

yay!!! this'll give me time to get to lvl 60 on my paladin!......lol

Gate of Anguish? Oh, the irony...

heh only reason i seen it so quick was i have been waiting for the Press release that Gaile said was coming today reguarding Chapter 4 and GW2

lol.....double drops...that will make my chances of finding a piece from 0.5 to 1%?


I did those missions numerous times, and even if I got one it wasn't enough....lets hope this weekend it is

hey nice new event idea! The hero xp thing is about as useful as double scrolls, but I wasted a lot of time last weekend doing hero armor challenge missions (and getting my technique down), so I can see many of my heroes sporting new duds with this one

love the event idea, nice to have a new one

edit: Silly Warrior, after doing many of the challenge missions over the weekend, I think there may be 2 things that influence drop rate: one is don't use 1 character on one challenge mission exclusively -- there's a school of thought that after so many armors per character per mission, the rate diminishes. The other one is, if you've been farming, some of the anti-farm *MAY* roll over (totally empirical and anecdotal), so either switch to another character or try to erase some of the anti-farm first

The real Irony Zinger, is that you spend all your time posting on a forum for a game you no longer care for

Now, now, let's not turn this into a flame-fest.

On topic: Anyway: I believe this weekend will be a great time for people to lvl up heros that they don't really care for (I hated lvling Goren up...) and out fit them with some new duds.

Honestly, a.net ran out of ideas for good weekend "events" a while ago. I'm impressed that they can keep coming up with something new, but I mean seriously, does anybody care?

!!!!!!! wazooooo!

This would have been a lot more useful a few months ago when we had to level heroes a lot more than we do nowadays.

I like it. My main's heroes are all maxed, but for my other characters? I got a bunch of heroes I never use, so they been sitting around. The fact that I got them before the update that made them all lvl15 may have something to do with that...

I can usually only be bothered leveling Koss, Tahlkora and Olias. Then I level whats useful, my ranger's got margrid and jin for bp, my eles have zhed and master of whispers for SF spam etc.

Yes! I just brought my Monk over from Tyria, and am picking up heros for her. I'm also working on level 2 of the survivor title (Doing it the honorable way), so the quicker I get my heros leveled up, the better.

It's lamz0rs IMO.

Armour drops? Ace!

Double XP? Pointless. Heroes already level up at a massive rate if they are below u. Back when u used to pick up Koss at Lvl2 I had him trained to Lvl11 just by doing the bonus in one early Proph mission. Even starting at Lvl 15 its still pretty quick.

PS What is the dishonourable way to get the survivor title? Don't feel you have to defend yourself from spiteful survivor-haters

I know of one way to level up heroes HELLA fast, though it's not really the most convenient for most ppl.

Do titan source, put lowbie heroes in your group for the reward, bam 50k exp

Still, I never had a problem levelling up heroes, and I got them all before the min lvl 15 for foreigners, and for that reason the double exp is meaningless, maybe it's just a throw-in to make it more of a hero weekend. Again I say woot at double armors, though maybe this should be triple like the other green weekends

The double armor drops will really help out for places like Shadow Nexus and Remains of Sahlaja (Pac-man ftw). Also the experience boost should help my other characters get some heroes up to 20 fast since I got most of my heroes before the lv 15 boost.

Woot for the hero armor pieces!!!
the 2x exp is little pointless but not completely useless...maybe I should start using some of my mule characters
