Im amused some of you consider r6+ to be the HA elite

There are no elite players in HA, just a lot of farmers

I agree completely with you. Nothing beats reduced value minis. Hell, I bought a mini Shiro for 6.75k not too long ago. I wonder how well I can get the Ghostly Hero Mini...

So. 3 days of HA drops get changed into the equivalent of 6.

Mini ghostlies are still rare, so the equivalent of 3 extra days worth of drops (around 1080 extra drops, 2 more drops every 8 people about every 8 miniutes for 72 hours) will probablly only produce 1 or 2 additional ghostlies. It won't seriously affect prices (unless the owners of Ghostlies currently in the system don't do the math and just panic).

Current Ghostly price is 1200e, after event it'll still be 1200e. One or two more will not effect the price in the slightest. Another 10 would drop the price to the 1k ecto mark.

another 10 Ghostly Hero Minipets would probably only drop the price to 1100 if that.

since when do ghostlies drop once a day? From what I've heard, they only drop once every week or two.

Btw HoH Rotation doesn't get changed during this weekends. The Chest will get opened just as usual, just more people will be playing HA. In the end only 3 teams will meet in HoH.

Word to that!

I might login and do some organized HA, but because these events roll around every couple months I may not.

Statistical variance. A coin can be heads 20 times in a row. Two ghostlies could drop in a week.
Like I said, the next 3 days would be the equivalent of 6 days. So, if we are lucky, at MOST 2 could realistically drop. 1 is more likely. None is also possible though.

Mhe, not complaining. It's been PvE 2 weeks in a row and the Canthan NY not long before that. And AT weekends are a bit exclusive for most PvP players. You've either got to be in a good GvG guild or be able to stand 1v1, which most PvP players don't regard as proper PvP. So, yeah, about time there was a PvP weekend.

Also, making it double PvP points weekend would also make more sense than having separate AB/HB/GVG/AT/HA weekends. Just run it more often.

You know what I think these weekends are great for possibly drumming up a little more interest in different aspects of the game. Although I am sorta sick of seeing everyone running Oliasway.

I love all these people griping that they aren't going to be playing because of what the bonus is.

Newsflash: if you're only playing based on the bonuses you don't really like the game anymore and you might as well just not play anymore regardless of what's happening.

wish there was an event that would bring loads of people to tombs, without needing the incentive of double fame.

I still need 700 fame to get a hero trophy for my HoM. I will try to play HA this weekend and make some progress. Will be first time this year. Looks like rangers are back on the scene between cripshot, r/d and trapper maybe I can get a group on my main. However I haven't held halls with my ritualist yet so maybe I can get his name in lights this weekend if nightmare spike still works.

RL gives you sunburns and AIDS. It's highly overrated, although the graphics are excellent.

Eh, the farming's better, and so is the pvp. Unfortunately, the monthly cost is higher than most.
