Bored of Guild Wars I was... for weeks I went without... and then it came...
Hard Mode GWEN

That combined with the x2 rank points, it was probably the best weekend of gw ever imo. I managed to max my norn title track, farming HM outside Olafstead with the Path to Revelations quest active. Getting around 20,000 points per run I figured I could do this rather quickly to move on to the next rank. (Best run was 27,000 points. r4 bounty + rampage + Boss Bounty against 6 bosses = me very

)

My faith has been restored in Anet (Although I will never forgive them for loot scaling

)

So how was the weekend for the rest of you?

Yes it's great. My little monkie can have any armor she want's now. And since i no longer have more then one PVE character, "mandatory grinding" is pretty much done forever.

Well I figure if I care enough, which I don't, I can just do HM Dungeons and cash in the book a couple times. Saves a lot of grind time I think...

This weekend made me realize that h/h totally suck at dungeons... It's like they think they'll get a bonus for walking on a trap and sitting there.

I was not feeling well and only logged in to quickly log out.
It's all good though. I got to lie in bed and watch really cheesy movies this weekend.

The best part was the buff to the handbooks and hard mode, which are here to stay. Didn't get much out of the double points, other than finally getting rank 5 norn on my ranger. Meh.

Great weekend, ranked up from R3 to R5 on the dwarven title track and got my bandana for my ranger to finish of my armour

So Norn armour + Bandana =

I didn't really do much farming. I got my ranger the last 10k norn faction to rank 5 so that I could buy her armour. I also got my rit to around 18k norn faction. Unfortunately, I wasn't paying enough attention and she died (she was my survivor at 200k). But I found I don't really care. I care more about the fact that she will now always have some crappy unmaxable title that I can do nothing with.

So, all in all, it was a good weekend. I no longer have to be extra careful while playing my rit, and she's only 8k faction away from getting norn armour.

Didn't really bother.

Grind = sleep inducing boredom.

Done a few quests, got from R1 TO R3 Norn while doing them..thats about it.

Yeah it was good. I finally got my pally to lvl 30 after doing some PvP and such.

Oh, how was my weekend on GW, you say? Well, I handed in my hero book for some norn rep (I was only rank 2 or 3 in it) and I attempted the last mission a couple of times in HM, but failed misrably many times. Shitty hero monks wouldn't use heal party or LoD because we were "too far away" (I flagged them) even though when I clicked on LoD on their skill bars they would heal us.

Hero AI sucks.

I tried HM with a guildie who was echo chaining Firestorm. I didn't play that much this weekend.

I did not get to play as much as I wished due to family obligations, but I racked up points incredibly fast any time I did.

I was also able to unload some materials gathering dust in storage. Trader prices were great, as everyone seemed to be getting fitted for new armor.

I was able to reach r6 norn for my warrior just by going through the game. No farming whatsoever.

So yeah, it was pretty rad.

The only thing I did was a bunch of snowmen HM runs with them as FC SH and later as LoD monk.
Got to R8 on both, I think.

Weekend was fun, several guildies maxed a reputation title track.

Wasted most of my time chatting in GH and later in LA, but that was also fun.

Lvl 30 in a game with a cap of lvl 20?

Anyway, I only got to play yesterday over the weekend but managed to get my norn, vanguard and dwarven titles to rank 8, and vanquish the 3 charr domains. Didn't have time to work on the asura rep. I think the best part of the weekend was finding a PUG that could work together and have a laugh while vanquishing....even after rocktail had slapped us about all over the place without breaking a sweat.

Yeah I pretty much focused on Asura Title Track cause I want to summon lvl 20 mursaat and Pain Inverter is pretty good too.

I was r6 at the beginning, but thanks to books (hero + dungeon NM) and some Magus Stones vanquishing I'm r9 with 10.000 to go for the max.

I suspect Havre was playing WoW.

I got my pally to lvl 49..

I whipped my necro round Magus Stones a couple of times and made it to rank 5, so she can have her armour when I can afford it. That's about it really, go two ranks up on the Deldrimor track but that was from just doing quests I needed to do anyway.

Yeah, he was playing WoW. I mean, since when has GW has a paladin class?

Anyway, I got my char from r4 Asura to r6, r4 Norn to r6, and r5 delver to r6. The norn was from a single vanquishing trip in Varaja Fells with the Path to Revelations active.

Too bad for me i already had Path to Revelations finished, but even so i managed to turn out 11-12k runs consistently in varajar falls in HM. Went from rank 4 on saturday to just 5k short of max norn title sunday night (power went out, wth). All in all about 14 complete clearings + a heros handbook turnin. It was good fun and drops but i need a sports wrap now for my thumb after all the C spacing.

Yes, I was playing WoW, which is unfortunate because I wanted to play GW and finally get my assassin to lvl 20 and into EotN. But since I feel as if i've wasted money if I miss a day or 2 after paying for 2 months I kinda restrict myself to what games I play or something like that.

Ah well, 2 months to go, still...

Vanquished Varajar Fells for 15k Norn and 2.5k gold. Only took three hours, six honeycomb, and a whole lot of stress. Only reason I made it was because Zho didn't die with the rest of the party, therefore didn't have 60 DP. Besides that, I didn't even use the weekend. Still helped though. Now to finish either 18 dungeons or 13 quests, 8-15 times. ^^

Grind, what grind? got at least 100k rep from this weekend without any grinding.

Time for heroes hard mdoe=bonus 7.5k, arachnis hard mode (so much better for dwarf points than snowman IMO)got me 6k bonus, the three asuran primarys got me 10.5k bonus, shards of orr another 4.5k bonus, and vloxen somewhere around 3k bonus too the three norn primarys got me 4k or so, then add in all the bounty reps from tehse things, and you have one happy non grinder, whose lowest level is now 6 XD

To those who say tehse titles are grind based, i really beg to differ, you can max at least two with no grind whatsoever, and if your going for eotn mastery like me, your gonna get pretty far anyway.

Now two more primaries and 12 more dungeons til i can trade my hard mode books in.

(and conqueror of the north ftw

Only grinding I did was finishing off the Sunspear and LB title for my warrior. I did cash in my handbook and dungeon guide and got lvl 5 for both Asura (purely for Spectacles) and Norn (purely to buff up the skills). Other than that I didn't really do much EotN though I can certainly appreciate HM since it's much easier to gain points (at least ten times)
