The BIG Weekend Event Question?

Hello

Just about everyone knows about the special event this weekend. This thread is refering to the free access into the Canthan elite missions.

My question is how many of you are going to leave your characters in there come Sunday night? Will you leave all your characters in an elite mission or none at all? I think I'm going to leave the characters I don't play much in an elite mission just for the hell of it.

So what are you planning on doing?

Thanks

Nothing. The Canthan elite missions are just slightly less of a waste of time than DoA is. And even more boring.

zero.
i didn't bother back then, and i won't bother now.
i did UW / FoW back then, did a little bit of DoA now, but the restrictive Deep / Urgoz never tempted me one bit.

I'm not going to bother. I was annoyed long ago by the roadblocks Anet put on various areas of the game, and hence pretty much lost interest in going there at all. I might be interested if they moved the restrictions entirely, but untill then, don't expect me in these areas.

Has the event already started? I couldn't find any npc that could transfer me to urgoz outpost.

Depends, might might not, if I get good stuff before Sunday night then no, if I don't get anything good by Sunday night I'll keep trying.

Yes.
The NPC is oposite to Eurayle (that's the one for Deep, forgot the name of Urgoz) at Kaineng Center.
He's near the entrance to the emperor.

Talk to Vash in Kaineng. He's near the Imperial Quartermasters.

Yes, I am leaving two characters on a secondary account in the areas, so that I can gt back in with any of the other professions I choose to. I enjoy the missions and I enjoy the drops.

this brings to light what I've been whining about for a long time; that of access and Gaile's promise many months ago to fix it. I hope twice per year free access events isn't the 'solution'.

I don't think this is the answer, but certainly it is an answer. We'll see what the future brings!"

what a crock
ps the bold part are her words, in response to me earlier

Oh Noes! The 'burbs!

Elite mission: I don't have the time for that, not all in one shot like these demand. I've got taxes to do, a closet to clean out, etc. What adult has 5 or 6 hours to sit down and play these days? Pffft.

I completed The Deep first time, and Urgoz Warren third time (though the first 2 were false starts with people not ready). I feel no urge to ever play them again.

Exile a character to Cantha? No Way!!! I may hook up with my alliance buddies and give it a go. But to leave a character there? Not a chance!

Finally got thru Urgoz after multiple tries with PUGs. Only took a bit over 2 hours too. But this was with a pretty exp group, and someone was trying something different that seemed to work pretty well.

Now that it's done I don't really feel like doing it again as it's kinda dull, but I'll park a couple of characters there, just for the chests.

(Can't wait for the "All the PUGs I tried failed to complete the mission" thread.)

*sigh* I'll explain one more time... as long as your character has been to the deep before you can get a "ferry" via someones guildhall. All you have to do is know someone, such as a guildie, that has a character camped in the location. They go to guild hall invite you to their party, and click the "leave guild hall" button. Voila you're both on your way to the deep/urgoz.

Its easy to do, and if nothing else you can message me in game if you need the ferry back. All ya have to be willing to do is spend 100g inviting me to your guild hall. Again emphasis on your character must have been there before, but after this weekend that shouldn't be a problem.

During the last Canthan event, when they opened up the Elite missions, I kept a couple chars in both locations. But when I went back, multiple times, they were all but deserted. Maybe my timing was bad, but it seems like the only time there's anyone in either location is during events like this one.

I found the deep pretty fun, but I was with a group of guild friends and we were destroying everything. Got quite a few gold zodiac weapons two, though all mine were shitty (someone I was with got a req9 15%enchants 20/20 +30 zodiac sword ). I think it would get boring after a while though.
