Hey all, happy monday

Played a ton of RA this weekend to get in on the bonus points.... I had a lot of fun in the process. Was just wondering how everybody fared out there in regards to victory rewards.... I feel I did OK for a newb, I'm sure many of the pro's out there did better....post your spoils here and we'l see how we all did:

I ended up raking in 80,000 Balthazar and 22 Glad points, got to be part of two 10 game win streaks and a 14 game win streak....traded the faction for 16 Z-keys. (got a req9 celestial bow from chest for the highlight)

The hell? I got into two 25-win-streak teams, but I only raked in about 20K of faction....

Also, it's really really stupid that RA teams don't gain any compensation or benefit from fighting TA matches.

I had a good time, although frustrating at times when you'd call a target and no one would follow, or kill the monks, or rez.. ah well, it's to be expected from RA.

Ran a few new builds following certain buffs or builds 'inspired' by the Tourny finals >.>;. Finally UAX'd Ranger|Monk|Rit|Sin|Derv|Mes|Ele.. still working on the other classes but they don't really tempt me. Opened the chest twice out of curiosity, got an elite mes tome and firewarter D: Gave up on it after that haha.

All and all it was good.

If you get to TA from randoms, you may not get much other bonus....but you do get the warm fuzzy feeling inside when you beat TA teams

I didn't get to play too much except for a few games on friday. No points and only a little faction for me.

I was busy with other stuff and only screwed around on a Migraine Mesmer for a while and got a handful of glad points. There were a lot of noob monks to feast on.

I played for about 2-3 hours and picked up 6 glad points. Get about 15k faction.
Didn't feeling like grinding out for more points. Was a rather busy weekend.

And a 77 streak Selket... I don't know whether to laugh, bow down, or cry.

it goes quite fast and is pretty easy; guess you never saw the higher streaks people reached, huh? :P

It was 80 and after that we just left zzz.

That's not even a high streak, but all of our high streaks (100+) get interrupted by someone going to the bathroom, going afk, leaving to do something more fun, or falling asleep from the monotony of TA.

77 streak? wow, the most amazing part would be having the endurance to battle that long with little or no break (even if your matches were over fast 70+ would still take a long time), I know even my little streaks this weekend were call for a good stretch and break when they were over. Awesome!

you leave some guy alive and go to the bathroom, that's how it always worked.
