I didn't get to play the double rep weekend for 2 reasons: I was grounded, and then I don't have GW:EN. I'm getting it for Christmas though

It was awesome, I had a TON of fun playing in HM with heroes/henchies (I hadn't tried HM on any of the other campaigns so it was all new to me), vanquished 3 areas, got a lot of rep, and a large number of golds with a fair number of nice skins. Overall a very enjoyable experience, and actually more fun for me than the rest of the GW:EN campaign.

I hope they add another double rep weekend again before too long.

got my house cleaned up pretty well....in game, well did some quests in eotn, however the toons that need the points for the armor already had done all the quests and didnt get much more (still need 4000xp for the norn on my ele), after playing with frostmaw for over an hour I kinda got discouraged (killed it though and got another onyx gem and a lockpick which broke on the chest by the dead frostmaw and only gave me a cheap grape! ) and took a long break (nap) then went back to cleaning my house .

my paragon got masters on dzagonur bastion!

so not so good in game.

Well, my Rit went from r0 Asura to r5 just by doing the Asura storyline and a couple of quests, my Assassin went from r3 Vanguard to r5 by doing the quests in the area, and my Dervish went from r0 to r4 by doing the storyline and a couple of quests, and by my judgement should have r5 by the time he finishes the Ebon Vanguard quests.

Those, plus the Mesmer who already has access, were the ones I really wanted armour access for, so now I just need to get the materials and stuff together. Of course, now the Ritualist isn't going to be farming krait skins to get more scales for the Assassin...

With the improvement of the books, I think they've got things about right with armour access - once you've killed the Great Destroyer, you should have access to at least one of the armours. I still consider the mechanical advantage for titles to be a bad thing, but I think the armour access is certainly reasonable now.

I managed to log on for a couple of minutes.

I also thought about buying GW:EN. Quite progressive of me, I thought.

I missed out on all but 1 hour of it. However everyone in my guild was very happy with it. I for one am very happy with the HM activation and my Minis getting fixed. so Yea I'm happy even though I didnt get to get the other bonues. Those were defiantly worth it for me...

As to why? well as normal Real life has to take precedence, and I have someone special to me that needed some time. And this weekend was it. So bad timing I guess but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I had a great weekend, myself. Played my Ranger through many quests, reaped the rich rewards, was heard rallying (nagging?) my team with "Double double points, gogogogo!" many times.

Funny Gaile funny.

Anyways Did a couple missions on HM about 5 total couldnt really do anymore since I had a near constant ping at 1500 all weekend. So I went soloing a few places instead. On these 5 missions on HM I got a total of around 1.5k in drops. Yeap reapped the riches in there.

I ground rank 9 Asura by vanquishing Magus Stones about 4 times. The last of my points will come from finishing hard mode books; it's safe to say I won't be grinding hard mode in the foreseeable future.

Good weekend though.

took my warrior through GWEN all the way, got R7 delver and R5 asuran for Silver Eagle armor and shades. Did some HM snowman runs to get some fun time goodies. Otherwise, i cleared FoW twice and did some farming.

This was without doube the best (normal) weekend event ever. I've been grinding like a madman and was able to max both the Deldrimor as the Vanguard title tracks. The double points gave me as player the 'morale boost' I needed to push through the quite boring work I needed to do to get r3 of KoaBD.

Finally.

So, Gaile, any idea when this will happen again?

Not bad. Got my para from r0 to r5 Norn and bought armor for her.

Managed to get r3 on norn armour but couldn't stomach anything more than that.

On a more important note...

My Norn and Asura titles are at rank 5. My Deildremor title is rank 6 and my Vanguard title is rank 7. I don't remember what they were before the weekend but they were much lower. Vanguard was at like 5,000 something points and I got a lot more with some siege farming groups.

I could have done more but I started a Mcjob at a department store. I wasn't scheduled to work on Saturday but they called me asking if I can come in. I dunno why I said yes and went in to work. I guess I was trying to make a good impression early in my going-nowhere-employment, for whatever it's worth. At this point in my life the pay isn't important and I'm not at career level yet so I'd rather have stayed home and do things like play GW and relax.

Now that the weekend is over, it's harder to find farming pug groups. Infact even during the weekend it was easy but not as easy as I thought it would be to find groups for this. Still, it would be cool to have another weekend for this. Making up for those who couldn't get hard mode due to the glitch would make a nice official reason.
