"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

There are supposed to be more secrets? I thought the Zaishin Chest was the secret, i dunno though.

Wouldn't it have been revealed since friday is almost over?

The Zaishin Chest, the Blow-out Event (10 days), the free trial (bring a few friends!), and the other bonuses and double-ups and so forth. I think it's all covered in the pages I linked to above.

It was going to be a weekend, then someone said "run it until next Friday" and I said "Eh, just run it through next Sunday, so we have more time to farm Honeycom..." *ahem* I mean I said, "Run it through next Sunday so there will be less confusion with trying to bump it into another type or kind of special weekend" (which was the original plan.)

So yes, definitely not a "weekend" but a "weekendS."

Nice stuff in that event. Maybe when I come home from work, my elementalist will have a quick killing spree. Lockpicks, better chest drops, more money, doesn't interest me. Honeycombs and sparklers? SHOW ME THE SHINIES!

I finished "The Dawn of Rebellion" this morning, and I didn´t get the triple experience points! Shouldn´t that work for everyone and not only the ones with the trial??

Trial page: "Plus, in the latest update we permanently lowered the level requirement for Eye of the North from 20 to 10 to make it easier than ever to enjoy the first true Guild Wars expansion."

The way this is phrased ("first") you'd think they intended another expansion... don't really know what the point is considering that's all but guaranteed not to happen.

Keep in mind of Guildwars 2. Guildwars is a franchise, so the "first" could mean the first of the franchise.

So far chest wise, they've been much better. I've been running NM and HM.

33 chests opened
20 lockpicks used
32 rares.

Did they accidentally turn farming code back on too?

I did some Raptor farming runs on my war this morning first few runs were ok then I had 4 runs with a total of 3 drops.

So that was over 80 monsters killed for 3 drops.

Has anyone else found this too?
