i bet they won't balance at the same time.. everyone will play for a few hours, then it will trickle into nothing before sunday night...

hooray! another weekend devoted to the big thing you cant do unless youve already done it a lot before! (referring of course to groups requiring high rank, which can only be achieved by winning in HA, which can only be achieved by getting a good group to go in, which can pretty much only be achieved by having high rank, etc)

So wait...is the chest loot referring to the HA chest? or PVE chests?

This will be like the weekend where it was double champion points. Only a certain few could even receive them. Now only certain groups will make it to halls, and actually win it to receive the double loot drops.

many people will try to win halls like people with non rank, but then they will most likely lose and get discouraged, then it will go back down to the normal people who are there, maybe a little extra.

Not every event caters to all players, that should be obvious. Skillcap weekends cater to title-hunters, glad point weekends cater to TA players, double greens cater for whoever. This particular one caters to HA regulars, how dare you complain?
Sub Frost
This would be all fine and good along time ago, where the rank difference between newer and experienced players wasn't this far apart.
But i understand Anet effort's to move more ppl to HA, sadly this won't help much.

Well, Skuld, events like Skill Cap and Double Greens cater to a large number of players. Events like Double Champion Points and HA Chest Loot cater to a much smaller amount of people (When it was Champ points, only the top 22 [?] guilds could earn them. HA chest- top rank HAers).
I've always been surprised they would even put unique items in the HoH chest. Do PvPers actually need gold? Well GL to all who enjoy this weekend, but it is useless to me.

Because everyone knows rank=skill.

Hmm...this weekend event is definatly going to be excluding a vast majority of players, considering winning in HA usually requires a good team/good guild to do.
I have no idea why Anet would make an event like this, I mean double faction is alright, but its exclusive to HA this weekend, and very few people will be getting the double loot.
Why they didn't include double-fame is beyond me.

Double chest drop? That chest is opened once every 8 miniutes and is usually 3 items at a time. An extra 24 items droping every hour in ALL of GW. That's pretty stingy for an event. Well, at least maybe sigils will drop in price.

Just let it go. HA needs love.

@ Hell Raiser ~ not every format has an equal amount of players, should one not recieve a bonus weekend because of numbers? From what i've seen, ANet tries to cater to all players, at some point, in these weekends.
Because double fame is retarded and everyone would run SF or ritspike.
WTB balance.

Damn straight

Darn it, I was hoping for UW/FoW access weekend.

I was hoping for double kurz faction in AB, double greens, rare drops from PVE chests....something to cater to a lot more of the population.

Just listen to yourself, how selfish?

This event is pointless.

Even if I still played HA regularly this event wouldn't interest me

all farmers will leave trolls alone for this weekend and move to HA , playing teh lamezor builds (trump way aka new iway, necro spike , para spike , rit spike , searing flames).
From 100 teams of n00b farmers one will actually win hoh.
pr0 players will not even bother to go to HA in this weekend.

No double fame is good.
Double fame just encourages people to play lame builds like SF and fame farm.

Meh... make it a triple fame weekend and I might consider doing HA again, just to hopefully get a deer.

And how does HA differ from any other form of elite gaming, FPS, RTS, etc?
Even GvG is the same as HA - the only thing is that titles really don't affect who you GvG with.

perhaps they need to run double events. one for pvp and one for pve.
but if its just one, it should be something that a lot of people will benefit from. even if it is pvp, make it something like double kurzick and luxon faction from ab/aspenwood/quarry, or something... something that more than the elitists can benefit from.
this event would basically be the equivalent of an event that just doubles the chance at getting a good item from mallyx, when not many players will get any chance to be doubled.

A-Net needs to get a move on and create me GW 2, cuz I didn't pay them $160 dollars in one years for nothing!

ok let's be happy it's not another double scroll weekend.
kinda off topic but does anyone know if they're doing an eye of the north preview event, even if it's an expansion?
