This weekend, you will be able to earn double Balthazar Faction in Random and Team Arenas, plus you'll score double Faction for each match won and for flawless victories, too. This double-up on Faction rewards begins at Noon PST on Friday, November 10, and ends at 11:59 p.m, PST on Sunday, November 12.

Seems decent.

Especially considering that the faction from Arenas was already doubled on the release of Nightfall.

This will put me in an unlock Frenzy.

EDIT: One thing to note: It doesn't apply to Hero Battles. That's ironic.

Well, looks like I'm going to be doing RA so I can unlock factions skills I have yet to unlock.

As it is now, you get six times as much faction as you did when faction was first introduced..this'll just be insane.

Considering the original faction gains, it would have took several consequtive months of perfect win streaks in unbroken playtime to unlock only ch1 fully, i would say this is a rather sane way to help speed along the process for newer people.

If I'm reading this right, this would NOT apply to alliance battles and aspenwood?

Ha, all the PvP'ers griping about heros in PvP, are now going to be taking them to RA to farm faction. That's funny.

At least for the weekend, the PvE'rs can do their PvE, and the PvP'ers can do their PvP. Now if one side would quit shoving their views down the throats of the other side.

You can't, as Random Arenas has Random Teams.
