Double faction in AB this weekend. Frankly I'm excited this time around. I was just needing an excuse to try a bunch of gimmicky, unused elites.

Hopefully the teams I'm on won't be half as terrible as the ones from today.

The faction includes both luxon/kurzick AND balthazar's, right?

Just giving fair warning that if you see a warrior running Primal Rage for lulz, it's probably me and you're probably better off risking dishonor points than staying with me.

It reads "double faction." I'm assuming Balth is included as usual in these kind of events.

Which is a nice thought =).

Especially how HFF is getting nerfed in two days with title update. It wonder how insane the faction will be with the buff + weekend.

Tyla you and me are mass ABing this weekend!

Also this shouldn't have been a surprise weekend to anyone with what the update is about :P.

I don't think they're nerfing it out right, just making other options more attractive.

I believe that 'double' in that context means you get twice as much points, not both. But yeah since the annoucment doesn't specify it I'm guessing it includes Balthazar's. Could someone confirm this? I made 17 zkeys from the double RA/TA event some time ago, I'll do a lot more trough AB's

Time for the luxons to arrange servers on ventrilo and coordinate teams with monks on teambuilder.

And time for me to talentlessly farm zkeys cause ab is the easiest cooperative pve i've ever done in my life.

Why would you think the update is coming this thursday as opposed to the normal 2nd thursday of the month?

Because the updates are on the 1st Thursday of each month barring events (which has made the last 2 ones the 2nd Thursday).

Here's hoping suxons don't sux and push it into ancestral lands, where I can farm 5k faction per game.

And here I was thinking that they guys finally got it right.
Double faction when donating is the magic word and not just double faction in just ONE mode.

Ah well, I guess they need to test the skill/title changes sometime.

I know killing noobs in CB might be as easy as PvE, but it's still PvP.

You do realize the majority of the event was PvE, right?

uh, lol @ pvers who think this is 'another' pvp weekend.

I love how every time there is a PvP weekend (which is rarely), the PvErs are always posting the same thing "WOW THIS IS DUMB ANOTHER PVP WEEKEND" or "Well I'm not playing this weekend". Get over yourselves.

Hmmm... I didn't set foot in any PvP area of GW over the course fo the past TWO weekends, not even the Costume Brawl, but I still managed to get both masks (can't get those in GToB!

) and enough ToT bags & collectible items to max out Party Animal AND Sweet tooth titles (roughly 5K total points)

It's gonna be a fun weekend!

Pvp weekend are not rare. I know offical wiki is down, but unofficial is still up, actually look up the weekend events b4 saying blantent lies like that. Usually they try to keep events even.

Then there is FA/JQ weekend, Anet considers that a pve weekend for some reason, but other than that, usually Anet is pretty good.
