New weekend : Double XP for Elite Captures

Note: My replies are in italic.

Now back on topic. This event is great. It even makes it worthwile making a new character in Cantha, because some of the elites are an easy task to capture, it means level 20 faster.

When was the last one? I really need one of those weekends instead of double exp :/

Others could ask the very same of you, which would accomplish the same - jack and $#!+.

Anyway, yet another weekend that I am thrilled about having to work through. And no, I'm not being sarcastic.

I like the guy's idea about half skill cost, or perhaps even just half cost cap sigs. Or hell, just double/triple tome drop weekend.

exactly my point...just because it doesn't agree with your goals doesn't mean you should crap on the thread by filling it with your complaints...your weekend will roll around sometime. Grow up people.

You won't find me complaining about a weekend ever...they are all just icing on the cake.

I wouldn't be making the comments if idiots would stop crapping on the weekend event threads.



I'd like to see that sometime.

new weekend? old more like.

Nice! Going for Elite skill hunter anyway, this weekend, might just as well get some extra XP while I'm at it. Not that I'd actually need the XP , but I won't complain about something that I get for free.

Agree'd. This is not a "new" weekend event. It has been done before.

This was good timing for me. I need about 70 more skills for LSH, and may have run out of skill points before I hit that. Now that I'll be getting another skill point + 5k XP for 2 capture instead of 3 caps for a point, I won't run out!

There is nothing wrong with repeating past events, as I am sure there are people who might have missed one before. People seem to forget this is added content that ANET provides us on a weekly basis, I see no reasons for the complaints.

yeh I missed the last one, so it's great they did another. And precisely when I was working a survivor character!

I'm getting paranoid. Anet is spying on me! Anything I do, they start to change it!

The day after I started using a PvE domination nuker, they nerfed spiritual pain...
The day after a friend showed me how to duo farm with junundu, they introduced loot scaling...
The day after I finally get my interface screen to a new setup, they change the basics...

Well, I guess I get it balanced out since my Survivor just bought some signets of capture

Doh-I'm three elite skills from being finished. I started a week or so ago.

Great timing! Too bad I'll be done by Friday!

April 20-22. Can you believe it was that long ago?! Three months already! Where does the time go? I'd also like that bonus again at some point as I have nine more characters that still need work on those tracks.

Yeah really, when I saw this weekend event I just sighed... even though I am capping elites every day at the moment for the titles. It's tragicomic really, especially when you consider they took a dev poll about what people wanted in these weekends anyway.

If they want to make us interested in experience, why not add some levels above 20th - even if they have no attribute increases. At least we could see whether that untitled sin wanting in our hard mode gyala hatchery mission was a newbie or an old hand at her/his profession.

As for this crap about 'complaining'... what does that even mean? This is a forum - as such opinions are expressed for or against any given topic.

I'd rather read a million 'complaints' than one fanboy's sycophancy anytime.

Works for me, I just started on my fourth survivor so I can play through the game during this week and go back to cap for exp during the weekend.

Great timing

Very nice, hope there will be a SS/LB weekend again

I think your last line falls into this category.

I got Canthan elite skill hunter les than a week ago

Anyway, its not like I need more experience....

I look at it like this... most of us are pretty bored with the PVE side of GW right now. (I'm burned out from title chasing lol) Almost all of us are waiting with great anticipation for GW:EN to arrive in about 6 weeks. In the mean time, give us events that will entertain the masses.

For example, we've only had one triple green drop weekend in Elona, and that was when NF was just released and most of us weren't too far in the game. The double SS/LB points was fun and most of us would like to have the chance at maxing out that title. Hell, we should have had a dbl pts weekend just after the new SS skills were released. For those of us that want to finish up HM vanquishing, let's have the 4 leaf clovers and chocolate eggs drop again. Loved to farm those!

Also, why dont they ever have simultaneous pvp/pve events to give everyone something to do? Triple green drop combined with a double glad points or faction weekend would rock IMO.

Hey. they definitely should double the 'Skill Hunter' point rather than give us those 'useful' XP. Not a lot of ppl actually care about XP anyway
