Starting at Noon Pacific (-7 GMT) this Friday, you will receive double points for exchanging 1,000 faction for Jadeite or Amber, for exchanging 3,000 for an alliance skill, and for transferring 5,000 to raise your alliance's reputation. This bonus will last through 11:59 Pacific (-7 GMT) on Sunday.

Discuss - I doubt this is all that Linsey had in mind for the faction titles, more to come (I meant that last part but forgot to add it). Personally I think it's great since it's faction gained in any way instead of just FA/JQ or whatever. PvP and PvE weekends mean nobody can complain with "WTB PvE weekend pl0x" comments. Well done Anet.

Well, it'll be a good opportunity to get all of the Faction based skills on all of my characters. Been needing to do that just to have it done.

Decent weekend. Useful but not the most fun I've ever had.

EDIT: Titles --> skills. Man, Guru is sloooow.

O: This is freakin sweet. So wait, we already get 10k faction towards our title for donating 5k faction to the guild. Do we get 20k for donating 5k this weekend? O.o I'm bad with math so don't knock me for it >>

And about the whole title thing, I don't think shes all she has planned.

lol, I don't know how you guys can stand all that micro managing for HFFF. I'd just rather get my hands dirty and knock a few heads together. Yes, this weekend should be fun.

Now let's all just cross our fingers that there's no game killing lag this weekend...

They always seems to schedule stuff i care about on weekends when i have to either work, or be out of town. I haven't been had to be away on a single pvp weekend yet.....


So anyone up for running the jade area a few hundred times, or what ever the hell the hff for luxons is now.

Guess i could just solow the damn yeti bosses again like i did two weeks ago...

Ah finally a weekend where I can work intensively on my Kurz title without having to deal with the retards on the other AB teams... 'cause I'm just gonna HFFF it.

I say that but this weekend I probably won't do anything, as usual.

I don't think we've had a weekend exactly like this since the Kurzick/Luxon title tracks were adjusted last. This weekend is much better than just having the plain FA/JQ weekends in terms of getting faction, but I hope they don't consider this a way to make JQ more appealing.

What I really hope is that this isn't a warning saying the HFFF is getting shutdown or the faction reward is becoming nerfed.
