Maybe I'm just getting my hopes up. Tomorrow being the long awaited title change and this weekend being a title weekend could just be a coincidence.

ANet make really good changes off and on, which is why I still have (little) hope in them.

Good timing for lame weekend bonuses, got my final exams coming up ^^

Makes me think that something big might be happening with certain bonuses.
I hope they add an end Reward Chest for vanquishes. I've already gotten all of the titles, but at least it would give me something that's at least a little challenging to do when I'm bored on GW.
p.s. double scrolls is lol.

Pretty tired of vanquishing. At least I only have about 9 Proph and 7 EotN areas left. Maybe I'll do a couple this weekend.

Of the top of my head, try popping a scroll when you have high DP you will notice you DP going down 300% faster if you use a bezerker or lightbringer scroll.

If you need scrolls to keep your dp down you are doing something really wrong, wtb better teambuild?
Didn't use a single scroll to get my leg vanquisher.

Ive done Shards of Orr dozens of times now, and my friends and I have completely tweaked our builds to fit. It still seems that there are days where we get party wiped a few times. Maybe we are doing something wrong. *looks for Ursan* sigh
p.s. that Ursan bit was sarcasm. plz dont flame.
ZeAliX
Well.. tbh.. maybe I used dp removal for a few times, but as I kinda stated above.. if you manage to build up so much dp that you have to use a scroll there's something wrong with your teambuild, so I usually went back into town to change stuff like that rather than wasting cash on consumables, not to mention I didn't have that much dp removal stuff when I did vanqs anyway :P

Nobody uses scrolls to remove DP ffs.

I dont like it. I have only ever vanquished 3 areas, and absolutely hated every moment of it.

Just vanquished boreas seabed and got 19,400 luxon faction (194 monsters killed)

Who cares about scrolls I want a triple drop green item weekend again and every weekend thereafter haha. I'd also like triple drop juvinile termite legs and charr carvings and gargoyle thingys hehe before christmas 
Mourne
Got right at 40k Kurzick faction from vanq'ing Arborstone. That was in 1 hour...so if you guys want some good Kurzick faction this weekend, I'd suggest doing that.
Nightow
Holy Moley and Sweet Mother Teresa! 
Our guild vanquished half the Jade sea tonight I went from having something like 115k to 240k in a matter of just a couple of hours!
Not only that, but we broke some where 1.6 million faction before it got to be 1am and some of us decided to call it a night.
Before this update, I would have never bothered working towards a r8+ luxon title but now, the darn thing is practically right in front of me!
Is November 13th a National holiday yet? If not, it should be!
THANK YOU LINSEY AND ANET!

I know why doesn't Anet/NCsoft just sell those that want those titles the faction to get the titles say $1 every 10000 or just sell them the titles outright. Gives them a way to make lots of money and then nobody has to grind ever on anything.

Maybe a dungeon reward style chest spawns somewhere (with better rewards for harder areas, possibily even exclusive weapon skins that only drop in certain vanquishing runs, thereby encouraging people to vanquish certain places). b) create some sort of target pinging system on the radar that activates automatically once you've killed like ~80% of the monsters in a zone (ie, you no longer have to waste a half hour running from one side of an empty zone to another trying to find that one random mob that you missed, but it instead shows you where to go). c) provide a better group mechanic to allow players that want to vanquish to find each other. d) provide numbers on the vanquish bar rather then a percentage. Right clicking the HM icon "you have killed 150 of 174 monsters in this zone, and there are 15 additonally pop ups still active in this zone." Rather then having to squint at that little bar and say "eh, it looks like I only have to kill another 5 or so monsters." |
The double weekend bonus is very nice though. I've done Canthan Vanquishing but i'm running Mt Qinkai a few times just now , 20 mins for ~135kills and 17k faction.

I'm not quite sure what I was expecting regarding the update and this choice weekend "event".But it has been awesome!,vanquished 2 areas with guildies and between 8 of us (some did more areas) guild faction shot up a few hundred k in around 2-3 hours (maybe someone could verify that :P)
The faction rewards per 45 mins were far superior to < 30 mins of depressing hero flagging

. I like this double faction thing, I just wish it'd stay after the weekend.
It's okay if it doesn't, that's still a full bar of faction every hour or so if I vanquish the same areas.
Sakura Az
with the new rewards and double rewards from vanquishing.. its insane the amount of faction you gain, i love it, i vanquished gyala a few times, took 40 mins or less and got about 24k luxon faction including the blessing.

For the love of everything that is fun - keep the 100 faction per kill for vanquishes.
So sweet!

To date, I haven't been particularly interested (heresy!!!) in gaining Luxon or Kurzick faction beyond what I needed for a particular character to progress through Factions or get elite armor, but I made good use of the new update this weekend in getting Legendary Spearmarshal for my mesmer. On my previous character, I think I had to vanquish about 23 areas, going back and doing one at least twice (Holdings of Chohkin, if memory serves) to make Sunspear R10; this weekend, I started from just under R9 on Friday and maxed Sunspear late Saturday night, and only had to vanquish 10 areas (repeating Marga Coast from a pre-update vanquish, and a couple of false starts on Turai's Procession) to do it. Made Norn R7 from about 41k this morning by vanquishing Varajar Fells with The Path to Revelations active, too.

I've vanquished arborstone 3 times this weekend. It's an easy vanquish with heroes/hench, and I got about 40k faction too. 
Even when it's no longer double faction, 20k faction an hour is faster than the 13/14k I could get through hfff.
Yay
