we just finished a deep run, drops were:
2 gold drops
1 gold chest out of 4 chests we opened
and 3 green drops (same as always)
this looks even less than normal i think...
Double rare drops?

LoL maybe they meant that the rarity of the drops has doubled.
So in effect if the chances of something rare dropping are rare, then this weekend the chances are twice as bad.

Yep, just finished Deep. Just asking myself, why the fck i get up so early ?
Chest drops - crap. As always: mostly wands, straw effigy's, staves and so on. I thought it wil be no purple chests while event.... I WAS WRONG - still purple chests ). Drop.... hmmmm... i think little more purples from mobs may be, havn't mantioned any doubled rare stuff.
ANET tricked us. They hate PVE so why the fck they should do something good for PVE ? ))

Just tried Urgoz's Warren and The Deep, didn't notice anything about the double drops, didn't even get a Straw Effigy or something.

or maybe you should check www.guildwars.com and see that they did not put the update up yet. Reading will get you far in life.

But you DO get acces to the missions allready

Stupid question, but is there any other way to get keys to the Elite Missions, other than trading Luxon Totems or Equipment.... (Kurzik) for them? Does the merchant in the elite mission sell them?
Never done an Elite Mission... But I will this weekend...

Phew, was a little bit afraid, every totem I´ve recieved I´ve traded for ordinary Luxon keys. Would have sucked if those were the only way to gain the Elite Mission keys, would take ages to collect just 5 to be able to get one key...

So far I don't know about other people (though it is great to see the elite missions populated) but from what we've gone through there have not been the 2x rare loot drops that have been mentioned in this weekend's update. A friend of mine did the Deep and killed Kanaxai, and said that there were 6 gold drops total, which we usually see anyway going down there. We then did Urgoz, and getting to the 5th room saw only one gold from the beginning. If this is what was to be considered as 2x rare loot drops then what a difference. >_>; If we still haven't gotten the proper update, then maybe we deserve another elite weekend. >:D

i heard it was not updated to double rare drops yet. dunno for sure.

So you didnt notice the rare drops AND didnt notice that not even 4 threads below this is another post on exactly the same subject rofl.
KamikazeChicken
The event is live, and the drops you get are the drops you'll continue to get for the weekend. People overfarmed the areas long ago, and there's not much to double in the way of drop anyway.
fatmouse
The only thing I noticed was more key drops. Completed urgoz and we had 1 gold drop, and 1 gold chest...
linh
Chance for rare drop increase from 0.0001% to 0.0002%, a big difference 
And I thought double rare drop should mean Kanaxai and Urgoz drop 6 greens each time

i wonder which few of you were actually with me just a bit ago in the deep... hmm anyway yeah.....
uh if they gave access without x2 drop it think thats either a bad idea, or just a horrible joke. if its actually x2 right now .... yeah lol uhhh DOESNT seem like it.

Uh guys, you don't seem to understand how the drops in this game work. First, the number of people farming a zone has ZERO impact on how many drops you will get unless you're the one farming. Second the 2x change that ANet made doesn't mean you'll get double the gold drops, it means that instead of it being a 2% chance for a gold item to drop, it's a 4% chance.
xiaotsu
Who cares, you get into the missions without having to find a ferry for now, don't whine about that...they didn't even have to open them for the weekend :/
And dargon is correct on the percentage part, can't confirm the rest.

I'm so tired of hearing people complain about farming code and people saying they didn't get any drops today because there were alot of farmers in their district.
The only way farmers ruin areas is when they are WAY over farmed by tons of people and the drops rates are decreased for that area permanently. Take ettin farming for instance.
Just because you didn't get 5 gold drops and a green each, does not mean it's been nerfed or over farmed.

You misinterperated what they said, obviously. It's apparent that they meant double the percentage.
Vahn Roi
and if the percentage is 2% normally, doubling it doesn't seem like much of a different.

been getting more gold pieces and the item drops are the same from what I see
castanaveras
I don't know about you guys, but drop for our group was great last night from the Deep. I went only once (made it to the boss) and we get:
6 gold drops
4/5 chests are gold
3 greens
IMHO...I see more rare drops.

shadowfell
I apologize for my comment in another thread, stating that it was going to be 6 greens, instead of 3. Still the same old 3.. as for 'double rare' drops, crap. Same chance of a chest being purple/gold, and out of two runs, one deep, one warren... nothing gold actually 'dropped'
Double the rarity, if you ask me. Was a waste of time =P

Im farming The Deep since this morning, and i got to agree, beside chest, i saw one (1) gold staff (req 13 -.-) actually dropping out of an oni...and like 3-4 purple (who care about purple xD) but! the new patch, the one i cant actually see with my very eyes because of err013.. should fix that "Fixed a bug in Elite missions that caused rare items to drop less frequently than intended during the Elite Weekend event." well....i hope it will fix it..

In my opinion, alliances should have kept the elite mission to theirselves, they earned it with their time spent slaving away at faction farming, however ANet may have intended it, but because of complaints from the usuals and e-reputation (wtf?) on the line for alliances, they began ferrying for free, therefore rendering all their time spent faction farming useless in physical purpose.

In addition, there will be the chance of double rare loot drops within Canthan Elite Missions
What chance 2%
4 hour run last night in the Warren.
3 golds drop in that run? 12 players?
I had 2 blue and a Purple Armour. 3 chests 2 gold 1 purple.
Whats your drop rates been like
