Elite Weekend Event August 4

Absolutely agree. Something for those of us that are mostly PVE.

Leading alliances ticked off because loose income from ferries? hmmm....

Hi

Just found this on the eu guildwars site

http://eu.guildwars.com/news/article...an_elite_theme

This coming weekend offers special bonuses for players who enjoy missions, roleplaying, and unique items. Factions players will be granted access to all Canthan elite missions the entire weekend via an NPC in Kaineng Center. In addition, there will be double rare loot drops within Canthan Elite Missions during the weekend! This exciting weekend will begin on Friday, August 4, at 07:01 GMT (08:01 CEST) and will end Monday, August 7 at 06:59 GMT (07:59 CEST) . We hope to see you there!

Cool ... access to Elite missions AND double drops ... sell those special weapons fast

Both the leading Alliances have the policy that ferriers are only allowed to ask for tips (but are not required).

I used to be a quite famous ferrier when I was in The Kaizen Order (part of Komalis Protector, which owned HzH before it exploded due to drama). I ferried for absolutely free (I even began to refuse tips. )

Plus, any Alliance that tried to charge for ferries somehow spontaneously combusts. That always happens, I never know why.

The purpose of the event is just to raise awareness that Elite Missions even exist. I had received very many tells stating "what's an elite mission?"

It's good that all get acces, but the double rare loot is just stupid as hell.

haha this is gonna cause a total market crash! i cant wait to buy a req.7 15^50 fellblade for 10k :P

awesome job anet!

Fellblades don't drop as golds in the Elite Missions. Only Zodiac Weapons, Wayward Wands, Staw Effigies, Ironwing Longbow/Flatbows, Dragoncrest Axes, Vertebreakers, Golden Phoenix Blades. (I probably missed something...)

Plus very few of them will have max stats/low requirements anyways.

Great, thanks A.Net! Finally Urgoz's won't be as dead as it was around 1-2 weeks ago everytime I stepped in Keep it up. Thanks!

Hmm - should be fun. Can't wait to see hoe many people are there...

Hmm, double rare loot, unlimited access to elites for a weekend. Lotta zodiacs gonna be flooding the market, that's all I can say. And now I wont have to keep my char in the deep!

For clarification purposes: Golden Phoenix Blades do not drop in the Elite missions. Missing from your list are Gavels of the Nephilim, Exalted Aegises, and Oni Blades.

another two words... voice communication

A bit late on this.. Everyone who isn't already parked there, ferried in there, ferrying their entire guild over through the hall, will be now.



I wonder if the bots, er... I mean people who have been chucking in 15-25k faction a day for the last two months will finally give up and realize they're playing a broken system.

i can see where im gonna get rich ^_^

Oh man I'm so excited about this!!!!

I'm always up for a Deep Mission with a good group.

I can't wait till i get into these elite missions and farm away! As for double rare loot, you think there will be mulitple 15%^50 items being drop during this event?

yipee another idea to ruin that sorta economy thingy in GW

keep going ANet ... changing the storage gold limit from 1000k to 100k d be a lot easier than all those stupid updates

this is great news i only play pve and haven't tried any elite missions at all. It will be nice to have the experiance in there and maybe snag a good item, its unfair that only hardcore players/farmers end up with all the godly items and money, where as the casual gamer such as myself struggles to afford 15k armour!

do platinum wands drop in the elite missions?

Looks like zodiac skins will be more affordable now
