Currently you get 10K, so I'm assuming that 10K x 2 = 20K...
It doesn't say which value is gonna be multiplied, both are assumptions, and we just have to wait an answer from either an ANet employee or the facts from the game itself. 15K doesn't sound odd to me, but then 20K would make sense too. I hope the increase the cap finally, I mean according your title tier, like other PvP titles increase balth faction cap.

Is that runnable with heroes and henchies? And what's the route you take? Would be nice to have something to do when alliance mates are busy with other things.

No....faction farming like crazy with the rest of the goons in Melandru's Hope...that place will be nuts this weekend.

I have absolutely no interest in pvp...that includes casual pvp for faction farming.

Well, this looks like their response to the high ranks for the title. It'll help a bit, but after the weekend, *shrug*. Pretty interesting, at the least.

And yeah...this isn't an "AB Weekend"...I would bet most people will be doing something other than AB to take advantage of this weekend.

Facing the Ruins the left side has one group of Wardens and then three bosses in a row by themselves then you can continue to devastate groups in small corridors after that bring a lock pick. Chest does spawn now and then. I go Searing flames/Nuker with my Elementalist and all hench/heros.

Unless you're on a AB map that's imbalanced to your side you're better off leeching or going botting down at Melandru's Hope. AB and FA faction rewards suck.

Nah, the three middle maps aren't that IMBA. The last one is more difficult to win, but surely not impossible.

Edit:
Well, I did some three battles up to now, and the lag is just horrid, average ping time is ranging from 250 to 2500 milliseconds. D-shot is shot at random, as real interupting is out of question. Most people seem to suffer from it, this is not much fun if u ask me.

I am just putting this out there, but they should consider giving higher AB rewards for wins, the deeper you go into the other sides land. I mean I always think it weird that you almost pref the other side invading your land. I mean where our spoils of war...like oil? Might also up the amount of people on both side for all maps, and lower the wait time.

I all ready suggested it once that it was good to put 25-50 and 50-100 % extra faction when you win on a hostile map, maybe they should even put a small disadvantage on home maps, like 10% and 25% less faction when won

met my goal for this weekend...got tier 1 for both of my accounts...now if only they'd have a double faction weekend so I could get all those pve-only skills easily.

oh...and I did it without any AB...what do you know...it wasn't an AB weekend after all... :rolls eyes:

This weekend was a big let down for me

Saturday: 6 hours shopping with wife then brother comes around in the evening uninvited.

Sunday: Mother in law with us all day.

Anet really should do something about this!

Would have been a nice event if the lag wouldnt have been that bad :/


Well hope there will be other events like that (maybe bit more lagfree).

But yeah due to lag this event was kinda a waste for me.


Gratz to everyone who achieved what they wanted tho and didnt suffer from lag.


Edit : I am not blaming anyone here. Just stating some unfortunate things :P

Last few games I played I had an average of 1500 ping. That's utterly ridiculous. Everything else was fine - I played some Quake Wars on ~50 ping between AB bouts, all the time on a Euro vent on a quite nice ~300 ping (connecting from Australia). 1500 ping average on US servers was absolutely ridiculous.

Kurz FFF was great this weekend.

The groups I saw in action had a 100% success rate in getting all four routes run in a very fast time.

Almost all groups I was with had at least one or two (or more) people who just sacced, and all the runners were happy to provide some FFF for the saccers.

There was a general atmosphere of efficiency and goodwill to all kurz in the conservatory.

I went from r0 to r3.5 kurz in 1 1/2 days.

Very good kurz event, props to all the kurz runners and the kurz saccers.

Eh, that's nothing. I've got 56k for the summer and get lag spikes around 15,000 (I've seen them as high as 27,000 I think). Nothing like getting one frame every 20 seconds (thank god it isn't always like that, it settles down to around 1400-1600 usually, which is QUITE playable so long as you aren't running an interupt build).
