Well, this is the upcoming weekend event, which I'm totally glad for. Alliance Battles are the only PvP arenas I'll play anymore, and they're fun as hell.
See you all there! (I hope)

Now, instead of taking one lifetime to join an Alliance Battle. during the weekend it'll take two lifetimes!

I'll be looking forward to plenty of AB this weekend.

I played AB's a couple of nights ago and there was barely any waiting time (kurzick side).
If your having long waits just jump over to the other side with a guest invite.

Maybe a secret update will put in more servers for ab. Anyways, i need the scrolls and jade.
MSecorsky
Leechers aren't so bad in AB's because you do need full parties of four to launch. Check each person for intelligence and you should be OK.
VitisVinifera
I'll do a few in memory of ff'ing for the Cavalon alliance back in the day

Someone told me a few months ago, that I cannot guest into a guild unless I'm guildless. Is this true? I don't want to have to leave my guild.

Another a.net update/event, another completely off topic/unfounded complaint by Zinger.
Anyway, an alright event for those who enjoy AB.

I actually had quite a bit of fun with my old guild on the previous Double AB Faction weekend... we had over 8 million faction by the end when we were usually pathetic ABers.
Hopefully this weekend will be fun as well.

Great, one of the best weekend events ever, and I have to work and I've got a ton of schoolwork this weekend. Fantastic. Well, have fun everyone!

And considering your negative standpoint on many topics in this forum, its even harder to pick up on your sarcasm.

On Topic: I'm actually really glad to see AB's are finally getting some love, I look forward to pwning all you Luxons!
undeadgun
might take a break from vanquishing:P i am up for it^^
nugzta
I'd do this but since its also double (or even triple) waiting time, nty
upier
Too bad its only AB!
It would be sweet if it was expanded to FA and JQ also!
Since i just discovered how easy (and boring BUT mostly easy) it is to leech there and since A.net doesn't do ANYTHING about it - it has to be right! So if you can't beat them - join them!

Here's an update on this weekend's bonus. We have to update the game, but that involves 11 different languages, so I thought I'd give you the heads up now.
We've changed the weekend in order to encourage more meaningful play. Here's the message that will go into the game tomorrow:

Alliance Battle Benefits – Updated!Hope to see you in the game this weekend, and good luck!
This weekend, you'll get the standard faction reward for alliance battle kills, and greatly enhanced Kurzick/Luxon faction rewards for all wins. Instead of receiving 250 Kurzick/Luxon faction for winning a match, victorious teams will receive 2000 Kurzick/Luxon faction. The bountiful rewards start at Noon Pacific Time on Friday and end at 11:59 PM Pacific Time on Sunday, June 10.
ichigo_panty
Sweet. Lesser people in HA/GvG this weekend.
PyrAnkh
Well obviously this weekend will be filled with waiting till games are finished. Servers can handle X ABs at a time, so thatll be waiting for 30 mins, game, wait again. I think you would get more faction the normal way.
Arduin
My god 2000 Faction?! That's.... alot
ichigo_panty
The 2k factions would most likely be added to compensate the long waiting time between matches.
Patrick Smit
Great move from anet to take incentive away to leach, still people will do it, but it might incite people to go for the win as well i hope. Maybe ill dip in just to check that out.
