I must admit I quite enjoyed this weekend.
My progress was as follows:
Delver: 80,000 to 112,000
Azura: 60,000 to 108,000
Vanguard: 59,000 to 97,000
Norn: 58,000 to 92,000
Total gain 152,000 points.
I didn't even have any really spectacular runs and had already done the Path to Revelation quests.
It would be nice if the rewards were left at the double level.
My worst part of the weekend was vanquishing Dalada Uplands, where Molotov Rocktail just refused to spawn for some reason - eventually found him miles away from his usual spot more than 30 minutes after getting the "Defeat Molotov Rocktail" splash screen. He was my last kill on the map!
Other than that, a pretty good weekend.
How awesome was this weekend for you?

Two Words: Orange Box.
My weekend ruled.

A few of my guildies noticed that they actually weren't earning double points for each kill, by watching the Hero panel. Anyone else have this problem? I didn't even get on this weekend, so I can't verify.

Well, between working at the pub and watching the Rugby (Go England! Wilkinson FTW!!!), i actually didn't get time to play any
Oh and HL2:Ep2 was a disappointment when i beat it in 2 hours... good cliff hanger ending though

I got r10 Asuran yesterday. I'll get r5 Master of the North, r10 Norn, and Delver by completing the storyline+dungeons. I'll also get r10 vanguard when I turn in my HM mission+dungeon book.

The one thing that pissed me off is that bug in Northmart (whatever you spell it) where the Jotun does not die, we could not finish vanquishing that area. What a waste of time.

So I did all the primary quests, did 4 vanquishes, and 8 dungeons (including Slaver's, Sharrds and Frostmaw) - so I grinded quite a lot. r10 Vanguard, 10k off r10 delver, r8 in the others, about 80 off r5 MotN

I made a humongous amount of reputation by turning in books: 2 full normal mode hero books, 2 full normal mode dungeon books and a hard mode hero book. (I never turned in my books before, and I bought pages to complete the second set.)
Getting double faction was a great motivator to do all the repeatable primaries in hard mode. This saturday, after helping a guildie kill the Great Destroyer for the first time in normal, we thought we'd try it again on hard mode with the same party. A few minutes later we all basked in a whopping 15,000 Deldrimor reputation.
Then and there we decided to dedicate the weekend to completing our hard mode hero books. We actually didn't need much of the weekend because it wasn't really very hard, so we started on the dungeons as well.

Did about 30 snowmen runs to max out the Dwarf title. That also gave me lvl 3 in KOBD. Vanquished Magus Stones and Arbor Bay to get to lvl 8 in Asura.
Did the Slavers Dungeon bosses in HM and got a r11 elemental sword from the Forgewight chest which made all the grinding I did very worthwhile.

Got from R3 to R5 Delver. That's it.
Kahlindra
Yeah it was awesome, got everything I wanted to get but have too many characters to have maxed any.... would also like a double rep week. Please :-)
Kusandaa
Didn't do much, TBH. Got R8 delver on necro (was R5), got R5 Delver and Norn on ranger.
cthulhu reborn
Didn't have much time this weekend, but the new book rewards are great. I also noticed that my chars who already finished GWEN before the update were able to refill a book of heroes once for a mere 1100 gold and then claim the new rewards.
That made my day!!

Used two hero handbooks to boost my Vanguard title from r3 to r5. Fought in Magus Stones from Asura r4 to r5. Did a few snowmen runs but were not getting much points from them. So my Norn and Dwarf titles remain at r3 for now.
nugzta
Maxed Slayer of All and Not Too Shabby, the rest can wait as I will do HM dungeons, storyline and vanquishing for Master of the North title. It was so quick when every run gave like 15k-25k per hour.
Prof Of Black
Got my r5 norn.
Maybe getting r5 Asura with book.

It was awesome, I went to a bday party and got cake in my hair.

It was a great weekend, Vanquished 14 zones, and maxed Norn, Dwarf and Vanguard titles. Just 60K to go for Asura and one more vanquish zone to go. Did'nt worry too much about missions and dungeons as the points rewards from them is paltry until you fill them up.
DRGN
It wasn't bad, didn't do nearly as much point grinding as I should have. I did some HM Arbor Bay with H/H just to get a feel for what it'll be like when I HAVE to do it. It was reasonable except for a few mobs, like the 10 Kraits with 2 monks, the boss mob(I brought a BHA hero to a B-Surge party :P), and the packs of 15+ Wind Riders(lol perma-Shame + CoF spike). Overall, it was more reasonable than I had expected(Old Ascalon HM gave me a bad first impression). Getting rank 2 bounty early + rampage + double weekend = tons of faction. Went from r6 to r7 in like an hour or so. LIke I said, shoulda done more :P.
GJ Anet, let's have more weekend events that are useful like this.

Ya know, I farmed like cornhusker because I didn't want to waste the opportunity to get double points. It ended up being quite a drag, like I was working instead of playing. Normally, prestige farming isn't lucrative enough to justify the pain, so I just don't do it (much). This weekend ended up being a lot like a job. Guess there's a lesson there.
Did pick up about 4 levels, all told.

I didn't do anything other than trade in a new book. Rank 4 Asuran to Rank 6. Didn't see a point in double points weekend after that.

Weekend was great. I slept most of it due to not feeling well.

I picked up another rank of Vanguard just by playing the game (questing, in other words), which is the way I like it. Now, when I turn in my hero's handbook here shortly, I can go get some monument armor. Grind-free rewards FTW.

My Weekend was Behind word Horrible. I couldnt anything in GW with all the lag going on. Im getting like 100k-500k so much lag it made me that i cant play GW anymore. That how horrible it is now. I login in fine then i find that im hitting lag every sec. i never see a Green light or Yellow anymore it always Red. It not my Schools connection or anything iv done that. So that how bad my Weekend went doing nothing.
Rolgalthor
I had a decent GW weekend turned in two hero books, finshed Legendary Guardian which gave me "Im Very Important", did some snowmen runs, and killed Duncan again. I am on the verge of R7 reputation titles.
lyra_song
I had a great weekend. Karaoke friday till 2:30 am, went to TGIF on saturday for lunch and went shopping, played Portal, then went to six flags on Sunday.
Didnt get any new GW titles ;p

This weekend just confirmed how broken and grindy GW has become with reputation points being linked to skills and armor. Double-points finally felt just about right, that I wasn't wasting my time being a click-bot to unlock what I've paid for already and should be accessable by just completing the main campaign.
GW should change the default reputation-rate in all campaigns to double what they are right now, because as it stands there is no way I'll be wasting my time chasing the Kurzick or Lightbringer skills.
