GvG Bonus Weekend: Your thoughts

Hey guys, just want to bring my concerns up. Personally, I feel double faction = great, double champ points = not great.

I know Titles aren't really that great of indicators of skill, but it's because of events like this that will bring on an influx of gimmicks that really kill stuff (like what happened to HA).

I see it almost as akin to rewarding double rating or some such nonsense over a weekend, as if somehow, by playing one weekend, you skill somehow doubled for those brief days.

Keep the faction gain, get rid of the champ points.

Well this sure is great for the 22 guilds that can currently get champ points in the utterly terrible new system that is the ladder. Not so much for the rest of us.

Great for the faction and if you like farming champ points (assuming your guild has a 1200 rating). Otherwise a useless event if you're guildless, have UAX or not in a guild that gvgs. So /yawn is my response

Who cares? Very few people will get champ points, even if they play for one of the top few guilds.

They might as well not have bothered with the points *shrug*

Double faction is sweet though.

Well with the messed up ladder, atm only the top 22 guild can even earn champ points, and only when they face annother top 22 guild. The faction will be nice, but the champ points are well out of reach for just about everyone, even top 22 guilds.

Yeah double faction is bomb, but they should have saved the double champs for another weekend like a month down the line or more.

At this point it's like the rich people just get richer.

I'm sure they did this to encourage a lot of guilds to make a push for 1200 but it's really only possible for at most like 15-20 more guilds. At least less than 50 guilds MIGHT be able to take advantage of the weekend, seems insanely pointless.

I've been UAX for months, so double faction is useless.
Double champ points are useless given the current state of the ladder.

Garbage weekend event imo.


How about giving us a "double attention to actually making the game better" weekend?

Stupid weekend concerning champ points. Only the top 22 guilds can participate? Lame.... I do like the double faction per win, lots of Necro/Discord spike teams this weekend maybe?

/yawn

Yay, double faction (uax, no comment ...), and double champ points (wooh, now we get 2 champ points if we win vs a top 20 guild, if we even face one that is!)

Anet should just bring back the old ladder system until we get At's.

This weekend is pointless. Most PvPers (at least the good ranked ones) are UAX, and hardly anyone can get champ points...why even make this weekend in the first place?

I am in a very small PvE based guild (like 5 active players, but we will have been together for 2 years in a few months.), we do not GvG and would never have a chance at getting into one of those top 22 guilds, and I am UAX so the faction doesn't matter. They should do something else along with it, like when they did the HA weekend they also did free/double drop for The Deep/Warren.

The double champ points is a bit early i think, we could possibly get in range before the weekend, but then you gotta be matched up with another 1200+, another month and the weekend might be more useful.

Forgive me for lacking the understanding, but what does UAX stand for?

"Unlocked all X" which means you've unlocked all runes, inscriptions, insignias and skills.

I would sign that in a hearbeat.
From this PVE'ers position, this next weekend is a /yawn.

From a PvP'ers position the double green weekends are a yawn, cant always get what you want :P

Double Champ points affects <2% of the GW population.

I myself, will guest randomly, in order to unlock the wonderful stuff I had no intention of unlocking, like Skull Crack, Otugh's Cry, and the amazing +4 Armor -20 life Incription.

Exactly.

Another stupid move ANET...Just make it some lame PVE weekend and save the double champ points for when more guilds can get them. I have completely no use for faction ever...capped out at 60K since like a month after NR release.

Make tombs 8v8 already and give us double fame for that. Every poll comes up in favor of 8v8 but you are still dragging your heels.
