Fail, another weekend 99% of players can't use or don't care about.

ANet keyboard; someone post it.

Also WTB PvE weekend that doesn't involve player killing.

Anet has done this exact thing before. It should be obvious by now, that they consider Quarry/Aspenwood "PvE".

People Whine like hell...and over any thing.
If the weekend doesn't suit you just play normally, don't leave a weekend event dictate what you'll play, It should be an inncentive and thats that.

Makes sense though. Just left a nice ranked gvgld this week (~700) because since i can only play weekends i cnat really make any core hence I play boring Snare/blind ele... there goes a whole lot of faction....
If anyone needs + feel free to give me a pm

Havn't gotten any real use after the last few weekends either but i don't complain. only ones i'm interested in is Ra/Ta (jsut hit Glad 2) and Ha (so i can at last get my r3 then play with some half competant groups till Gw2) but i know there are more peopel in the gmae then me so they have t ohave a diverse weekend benifits.HB are good but i'm not that great at micro'ing/find it hard t oget better s o i jsut try and tank on the special weekends for faction more then the title, jsut turned into /rolling the nfighting

Oh btw i seriously hope that they never do a hfff weekend..that would just be silly tbh,imo

Many PvP'ers don't parcipitate in the PvE weekends/ don't care for them, and yet you don't see endless QQ threads about those weekends. The fact is that PvE weekends make up about 90% of all the special weekends, with the only proper PvP weekends being Double Fame, champ points, and glad points. That's 3 weekends out of the like, 13 or 14 that they have. Seriously quit QQ over one or 2 weekends you don't like, if you don't like the bonuses in these areas, you're not being forced to play them, just go about doing what you would normally do, like you do every other day of the week.

Great, we get to hear about all the lag from the PvP community. I do have to wonder what would the PvP's do if ANET had three PvE weekends in a row.

As a PvE only I think we have to realize that ANET never wanted such a strong PvE community and seems to still try to force (I mean encourage) us to switch to PvP. I say let the PvP's work on their titles.

I will still enjoy the weekend, might run a few dungeons (need the gold, got a craving for more armor).

Barely anyone would give a toss. Anyone that did would, i dunno, play another game?

Does what small event on the weekend really make or break your lots weekend?

ANet, and apparently you as well, doesn't seem to realize that just because there are a bunch of NPCs thrown in to kill as well, players killing players = PvP.

It may not be high end PvP, but it is PvP nonetheless.

i think by most serious players' defintions, pvp is something that requires organization and not taking any crappy build at the top of ur head and using it to a somewhat successful degree because an organized team is needed (which narrows it down to gvg,ha,ta cuz let's face it, ra,ab, and jade quarry are a joke). having other players atk each other does not necessarily merit the activity as actual pvp (thats called ganking or pk'ing).

So this weekend all the euro shitters with high champ rank...will be euro shitters with higher champ rank? Oh ok.


Jade Quarry/Fort Aspenwood are PvE.

If you think it's PvP, you're a PvEr, and wouldn't know. Just because there's other players doesn't make it PvP, it makes it competitive PvE.

PvP is the general term encompassing all player versus player activities. Ganking and PKing are done in areas where PvP combat is possible.

Different thresholds, different meanings.

PvP = Player versus Player, a.k.a. interaction between two live players involving combat, competition or skill.

JQ and FA are simply laidback PvP. Just because they aren't BuildWars doesn't mean they don't involve player combat or competition.

Before the flames start, note that I don't consider JQ, FA or RA immersive PvP content, however by definition they are still casual PvP environments.
