Same. Guess I'll finally try to finish that Shivering Isles add-on to Oblivion.

ANet is really funny. They start out innovative and then go back to re-invent the standard grind MMO.
Plus more repetitive grind, minus content and diversity.
Something about the existence of double pts/reduced grind weekends tells me that something went wrong with this game and makes me fear for their "new and innovative" ideas for GW2.

I called it.
About time they had a PvE weekend. Those PvP noobs keep getting double weekends and we get nothing

Of course, if you want to stretch it, then you can say it is optional. But so is playing GW at all.

Aw, shucks. And I've just finished watching Code Geass this week. I'll have to get something interesting for the weekend. Is Kyle XY any good?

The fact the season 2 seems to focus more on Jesse XX doesn't help either.

So, we all saw the effects of the double ss/lb weekend, we basically went over the favor limit
Will the same happen this weekend? People have the potential to max out even more titles than the double SS/LB weekend, and it would be nice to be assured that anet has set the max favor level much higher or at least fix it where it wont "break" and reset itself
Any info on this?

Um Shoyon the only thing that would go towards this is r6 Master of the North. The other 4 titles don't count. At least thats' what I heard.
Uber Mass
yup doesnt count towards favor....
MithranArkanere
Oh, nice. I'll vanquish the remaining 8 areas, and then repeat the easiest ones for Vanguard and Asura.

Some people claim that the faction reward will apply to dungeon as well. Can someone confirm this? Did it work for dungeons last GWEN double weekend?
quickmonty
Friday, you will earn double Asura, Deldrimor, Ebon Vanguard and Norn reputation points for completing quests and defeating foes while under the effects of a shrine bonus. Points for completing books are unnafected.

When this is done, i don't think there will be much grind left.

Squishy ftw
I guess I'll use it to get closer to max my last 2 rep titles.
Altho I'll probable be too bored of it after an hour or 2 and end up playing my monk anyways.

I won't be able to play this weekend, so it won't help me one bit.

There that should make it more clear.

I hate grind but I am actually looking forward to this weekend so that I will not have to grind so much on six characters to get some EotN armor. Level 5 on six characters should be an easy weekend.

This does seam a little pointless since the books are far faster and easier means of gaining rep points. But I guess its better than nothing.

Mr. Undisclosed
woohoo just started doing norn runs on my monk yesterday (it really sucks having to get to r7 like other professions to get accepeted into a group) and I'm already r6. I see r10 in my future, its not far off now...
I guess I'll try and do some crap with my warrior and hopefully get to 6 or 7 on my own so I can join groups.
