Don't care about it. Dragon Festival is going to be one of the two weekends after.

Doesn't bother me. Make the best of each weekend... if there's a PvP event and you're PvE, quiet, lag-less weekend :P.

Hurray for PvP!
Maybe they should make a double chance on ecto drop for PvE players.

Hoping for a new Dragon Mask at the Dragon Festival this year, I missed the original one, and although I didn't mind the Demon one we got last year, it didn't seem too popular with others, so I'm sure they'll do something more similar to the original Dragon one..

/signed for double GvG! This is what Guild Wars is all about!
If you don't like GvG, you should use this weekend to get yourself addicted! There will be a lot of extra guilds playing who don't normally play, so the competition will have quite a nice variety as it always does on these weekends.

VQ/Dungeon week-end it is...

HAHA Double Champ weekend on the same weekend as the MaT.
The winning guild could come away with 22 champs just from the tourny
(IF the Swiss rounds go 7 and they draw a 1200 rated guild each time)
But probably will earn ATLEAST 16 - 18.
I'll take the double faction though, I can fill up the 50k cap pretty quick getting 2.5k faction a match.
We'll guest you Witchblade, but only if you bring the Polar bear, or panda, or whatever bear it is you have.

was hoping for double Faction both in AB or jade quarry and aspenwood. love those maps

Even outside the champ range the double faction gain for GvG is something BIG, much bigger than most people realise. Doing 100k faction by just playing multiple fast GvGs during this event even at low rating levels should not be any problem.
And as for the champ title... let's wait to see which gimmick will be used this weekend to farm 50+ CPoints in one weekend

But seriously, every single week, all I hear is "OMG! Double XP Skill cap! SO DUMB!!!!" or "ANOTHER PVP WEEKEND??!?!?!!??!!!" even though 35/52 weekends at least are PvE related

i would like to see some of these things go on in the middle of the week once in a while or start them on thursday at noon and end monday at midnight to give everyone a better shot at taking part if they choose.

One could also say that AB and F/A are not accessed via the PvP battle isles.
Almost everyone I know considers AB and F/A to be PvE/PvP. Mostly because of the huge amount of solo-farm builds you see there.
You Look Grim
i've been waiting for this.
gvg is what guild wars is about of course.

Do you also consider Dragon Festival and Wintersday festival to be PvE/PvP or just PvE? You can access the arenas during the events from the battle isles. Not flaming or trying to start a flame war, just curious.

though it might get some nice pugging action going. Which is always fun

points to NPCs in Great Balth that let you access FA and JQ.
you are correct however, that AB. FA and JQ are PvP/PvE.

Hey... to all those "only 1 in 10 people PvP" comments... maybe by having all these double PvP weekends a.net is trying to... you know... encourage people to try PvP. *gasp*
Simple isn't it?
Besides, don't complain. You just had double GW:EN points weekend (aka, max your Ursan rank weekend), so any PvEer should be content with what they have.

wont be missing anything by having some furniture delivered this weekend I guess....good timing anet!
lorph
There is a class of people that anet is trying to appeal to. This is the player that has low champ points, and is looked down upon in pvp. They can't get a higher title because good groups require a higher title.
Since the people with high champ points already feel secure with their titles, they don't feel any incentive to play. By having double pvp weekends, they encourage the low champ point player to play more to catch up. Sometimes this causes the already established players in a title race, thus keeping GW1 active until GW2 is released.
The problem with this of course is worthless titles. Now r9 Hero is worthless after all the double fame weekends, and there are really bad GvG players that are champ r5 (that I've witnessed myself).

erm...
I think ppl got the wrong end of this thread, it was a thread to say I thought it was weird to have 2 similar weekend events in such a short space of time.
It was NOT
a QQ thread
a PvP bashing thread
opened to be a PvE bashing thread
I just thought it was strange that a-net would do 2 weekends so similar so close to each other.
Shame to see the GW "community" as full of bile and bitterness as always
as soon as they get a chance to have a rant.
GW community ftl
