You have a responsibility to consider. I had a day off on Saturday so I could spend some serious time to AB 'cause I had nothing else going on, but then they called me in. I could've been irresponsible and taken a day off, made less money, but played a video game.
You could also play this video game during the double fame weekend and miss out on the SATs. There's really no need to complain when you do have an option. It's just that...one is a horrible choice, and the other is an obvious one.

There is (one hopes) a skill balance coming up. Izzy has gone quiet on his talk pages of late, which (again, one hopes) means that he has been doing some actual work.
My guess is thumpers are getting the shaft. Better take those hammers out for one last spin, rangers.

Ahh, glad to see the cycle is moving along normally.
A-Net announces the weekend event >>> Someone posts it here >>> Someone whines about it >>> Others defend it >>> Weekend comes, many have a good time regardless of what the event is >>> Weekend ends >>> A-Net announces the next weekend event...

Eh, Thumpers have been around since Tombs, over 2 years ago. No matter how much they nerft them and RaO, expertise will still make thumpers viable.

yipee, useless pvp event

Yet again? Don't make it sound like such a chore...

Yay, time for some Spiritway farming, so I can get some fame points in HA's ruthlessly elitist environment.
I hope they don't nerf Spiritway unless they nerf the rank discrimination there too. Am I right or am I right?

They won't Tyrant. You see, a lot of noobs/inexperienced players play on double fame weekends. Thus, the good teams will roll them and make a lot of faction even easier. Also, the newer players who are good (ie, guys who just don't HA but do, say, GvG) will be able to get some rank. Bad players will still have a hard enough time beating the Zaishen.

I dont agree with my above post, just heard it several times.
Double Fame weekend yet again. I can understand that different people enjoy different weekends. But i havent enjoyed a weekend since the sneak peek weekend. I enjoy stupid ones like double faction toward your title, triple dye drop, consumable drops from monsters. So another lack luster weekend for me. Of course this comes from the guy that dislikes the boardwalk.

Low Fame == New to HA. You're new to HA, you obviously will not have a high fame rank... and without that, you can't get into any groups and learn to play.
PvP Elitism at it's worst. You assume that someone who is new to HA (but may be incredibly experienced at other aspects of PvP, not saying this is the case with me but it is with some) is automatically bad at Guild Wars?

Tell me, do you wish that no new players would come to Heroes' Ascent?
Small wonder PvE outnumbers PvP. Your own demise, you have brought upon yourselves. GW2 will be more PvE focused than GW1 which was originally a PvP-focused game, now focused on PvE. Why? Because most people went to PvE. Why? Because PvP elitists created a hostile and unwelcoming atmosphere that is hard to get in to and in the case of HA outright rejected the new players. Had you been more welcoming to new players, helped them learn, perhaps PvP would have a larger, stronger player base, instead of being a haughty, arrogant minority.
Am I a casual player? No. I'm a hardcore addict. I'm not asking for content for casuals, I'm asking for a way for the new players to have a way to get a group in HA.

/sigh
more people complaning about "rank discrimination"
its too bad you all started to HA the day that you did, because the day before you started was the last day anet gave 1000 fame for free just by beating ziashen for the time ... so everybody that ever played HA before you already had rank 6 when they started looking for groups =(
im not going to even get started, just know that I consider you pathetic

Or do they still do that? I never payed much attention to Zaishen since I found AB netted Balthazar faction at a much faster rate. (10K was easily obtainable with a small amount of effort whereas Zaishen had that cap.)
Actually, did they ever do that, or are you lying? Bear in mind I've only been playing for around 1000 hours / 4 months.

Since it seemed to go right over your head, I'll explain. Every high ranked player (with some exceptions) started in the same place you and everyone else that bitches about rank discrimination does. 0 to low rank pugs for small fame, if you're a good player there's a good chance you'll get the rank and the good groups eventually (unless of course you play crap builds like spirits/thumpers which will get you nowhere).
fenix
If you have high ranked friends, try and get them to get you into their teams. If you play well, you might get invited back. The more that happens, the more you'll get into good teams, as if you are seen with high ranked players, you might be invited by OTHER high ranked players. Not only that, but those teams usually get good fame, so you'll rank up pretty fast.

Double Fame weekend sucks more than everything else IMO...
And yes I play HA...
And yes I play HA...
Srry is My Trademark
This is good imo because it will decrease "rankism"(hopefully) and allow newer players to enjoy HA and be able to get into pugs. I am unranked because i lost my last account a while back so i rebought Guild Wars, and i find it incredibly hard to get into a good pug, and ranked groups dont accept you even if u show that you know more and are better at the game than them. Its stupid. Hopefully enough of these weekends will make rank worthless and everyone will be equal again. [sorry if my grammar is shit im a bit tired]

Why A-Net even bother with bonus weekends any more is beyond me. They rarely amount to much.
The only ones I ever really used were the double-xp for elite skill caps weekend and the Canthan triple green drop weekend...
I almost let myself get excited over the triple experience weekend until I learnt it was missions only... Biggest rip-off ever.
Then triple Eye of the North green drops... when most greens come from end-dungeon chests anyway....
Then Alliance Battle faction double as a measly attempt to draw people back from the blessing-farming that A-Net themselves implemented because people didn't want to PvP for faction.
And now.... well... another useless weekend event for the HA Elitist twerps.
When will A-Net start really getting creative with their weekend events?

It would be nice, just once, to see a thread where the PvE and PvP folk don't troll each other.
