Cool, a guild mate and I were just talking about when the next AB weekend would happen; sooner than we thought.

On a side note, the 'real' PvPers will probably complain that we just had a PvE weekend and Alliance Battles are not real PvP.

AB faction is still meh, compared to the VQ or JQ. It needs to be higher. Even double weekend will not change that thing. But it depends, specially on the map.

To the real pvpers complaining, lol doubt it.

If i do any might manage to sell a bit of faction.

Will probably take a healthy break from JQ to do this, if not for any reason but running a coordinated, balanced team and laughing about the destruction.

Looks like another fun weekend! Z-Keys, Kurzick faction & a few less vanquishes in that dark, depressing forest!!!

Wait, they increased the faction gain from Alliance Battles awhile ago, yes?
Oh god... This is one of the biggest gifts by ANET ever!

Zkeys and Faction donations within minutes, anyone?

It's a great chance to buy z-keys and to increase my total Balthazar faction. Should I go for Luxon: 12 or Kurzick: 10?

Aint no party like an AB party because an AB party dont stop!!! Well err I guess it does stop on sunday night, but you know what I mean.

Seriously though, AB weekeneds are my favorite, after I take care of all my stuff on saterday I sit down a play whatever the hell build I want. Then when the guilds log on we get super serial, and own.

Please, go back and read the announcement on your log-in screen. (or the one that the OP provided - it's the same thing)

yea we know the buff is only playing AB. but getting double points towards the title no matter the source of the faction is way much better

At x2 will it earn faction faster than vanquishing though? I've not mastered a decent Morostav route yet, but I can earn about 27.5k/hour vanquishing Drazak Thicket. The benefits of vanquishing are not having to wait in between times and no reduction in the faction/hour rate due to not winning. No Balth is a downside though.
