Tuesdays @ 2:00PM(Central) is one of my favorite time of the whole week. At that time they release info for the weekend events. They also stagger the events from PVP to PVE from week to week. Last week was PVP event, so this week it will be PVE.

My guess is that this weekend will be umm... Double Green drops in Elona. There is no backing to this, it is only my guess.

What's other people guesses for the upcoming weekend event?

Double the Exp for Elite Skill cap... lame

Next week is PVP, lets hope for a useful weekend.

Seems we're due for a double sunspear point weekend. They introduce the new PVE skills, they gave us a double Luxon/Kurzick faction weekend, I'm guessing sunspear will be next.

I have my LB/SS points maxed out by farming the points from the Requiem for a brain and Show of Force quests in Hard Mode.
After spending the time doing that:
I say YES!
Please have another LB/SS double point weekend.
I may not benefit from it, but I know others will.

Didn't we like already get a double Sunspear point weekend, and I saw like 500 people with the Spearmarshall title?

I'm working on my guardians at the moment so a weekend wouldn't really help me. A double gold drop weekend could be useful. But what I really want is another Rollerbeetle weekend, didn't get to play at all last time because if the lag.

Chicken in Every Pot Weekend!

All weekend, in addition to regular drops, all creatures drop Juicy Heket Legs! When sold to the merchant, these tasty tidbits will be donated to food banks and shelters across all the continents to help care for the less fortunate in the game and their families.

Hmm... maybe that should be...

As long as it helps clean up the slums of Cantha, I'm all for it!

As for the weekend... I hope for the double SS/LB points, but I wont get my hopes up, because it will most likely be something else and less cool.

Oooohhh yeah! I would love to max out sunspear on my ele. She's currently like 10k points away from maxxing, and I would really like to see her have full intensity. (Such a sweet skill. 26% boost to all my spells for like 8 seconds? Niiiiiiice!) It enables her to cast fire upon her foes with a harder hit.

So, more sunspear please!

How about fix the lag before making weekend events? Unless they have no effect on each other, in which case fine make free events for some people to be able to play.

How about a weekend event for money since alot of these weekend events were pretty useless to the large census of players, no offense. Not alot of ppl give a **** for titles like myself, but I wouldn't mind getting possibly more gold or triple faction weekend, that would make alot of ppl PvP...

OMG!11!!11!!
(yep i can hardly keep from peeing myself!!!)

BEST weekend ever!!!!
Double xp from elite caps!
At THE BEST TIME EVER!!!!

Since really - lets face it - the only characters that "need" the xp are the survivor wanna-bes - and playing a survivor at weekends which are plagued with disconnects and lag spikes to get that 10k xp reward from capping an elite is sooooooo worth it!111!!!

(wait - why again does guru lack the /rolleyes emote?)

Half-Price Weekend! Prestige armors require 1/2 standard materials, or half the usual amount of reward points for PVP unlocks.

Sightseeing Weekend! The map-view radius is doubled, allowing you to work on Cartographer titles a little easier.

Bloodbath Weekend! Damage done in Random, Team, and Hero arenas is doubled.

Bork Weekend! Bork bork bork, bork, bork bork borka bork.

Why do people hate the double xp weekend for elites?

I personally got 700K xp for my legendary survivor last time and made it to s3 that way!

It's a great weekend event for all survivors out there! Congrats Anet and thanks again! Lets get me a second s3

Personally, I would be surprised if they scheduled a really awesome event for the weekend that Harry Potter 7 comes out.

Prophecies-only weekend.

That way we have a chance at some nice, balanced PvP.

Either that or no-PvE weekend, where PvP gets shoved down the throats of PvErs for a change. I hope ANet'll get the hint that I hate PvE soon

What a load of BS.

When only Prophecies was out the number of PvP whining threads was just as big as today.

Its always the same thing with this board, Anet doesnt do X, whine whine, Anet does Y, whine whine whine.
They should call this board Guidwaahwaahwaah Guru
