Starting at Noon Pacific (-7 GMT) this Friday, receive double the gold, experience, title points, and faction rewards when you successefully vanquish an explorable area in Hard Mode. In addition, we've doubled the drop rate of scrolls, and scrolls effects will last twice as long as normal. These bonuses last through sunday at 11:59 PM Pacific (-7 GMT)

Last weekend got me back into getting my Savior of the Kurzicks title, and one of my secondary goals towards said title is for all ten of my characters to vanquish the entire Echovald Forest - to help break up some of the monotony. It's already done with my mesmer, so this weekend I'll probably finish it up with my warrior and maybe even my monk.

That is, of course, barring Kurzick failure in AB. I'm rooting for you PvP'ers so I can continue my pointless and unrewarding grind!

Edit: meh, I take that back. I'll probably just DTSC. As for the "what are double title points" question, vanquishing can give you Sunspear, Lightbringer, Norn, Ebon Vanguard, or Asuran points. Those aren't faction.

Argh, when I saw the thread title I was kinda hoping for double faction/reputation points etc also. Hopefully I've just read it wrong...

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

Two PvE weekends in a row? Should our lawyers send court threats to NCSoft or Anet?

Ohh, that's kinda sweet. If that means double LB for the Desolation, maybe I'll finally finish vanquishing Elona this weekend.

PvP players don't care. Only PvE'ers do. Furthermore, this is an excellent weekend event for the mAT...while there will indeed be a fair number of players doing it, there will be less than a HA double weekend or something.

Oh, the poor monsters in Drazach Thicket... I'm surprised they don't evacuate en masse, actually. XD

Ah well, if it nets me further title ranks...

The weekend rewards are all spelled out right there in plain english and people still have to ask "does this mean I'll get double rewards for vanquishing?"

Wow...just Wow. Every time I read a thread on here, or read discussions elsewhere, more and more I wish WW3 would come and wipe the slate clean.

Read the OP again. And again. And once again for the lolz. Nowhere does is mention title points or faction. That's why the people were asking, and that's why I posted the Login screenie.

Not sure where the OP got that announcement, but this is from the official wiki:

Other people on here have also posted a SS with the in game login announcement. So the OP post is almost correct.

To the OP: please update your post with the full login announcement. TY.

Fixed. For me, all rep titles except Kurz are done/almost done, so I'm basically gonna VQ for the money which, on these weekends, is surprisingly good.

You do know you can vanquish in EotN too >_> plus you'd be working on two titles at once, and vanquishing other areas mostly gets you gold, LB and SS in NF probably (but maxed that way back so I could be wrong), and Faction in Factions (no shit ) and NO bonus for Proph, only an extra platinum for an area xD

Yeah see I was going off of the OP, which initially said nothing of the double rep points/faction. I didn't bother to sign in and check it out before I posted.

Either way, people make mistakes, and I suggest you maybe see a therapist?

On a sidenote, all our special weekends are... powerfarming. It does not stop there, every event is all about that.

All that is left in GW: Farm moar.

This is sad!

That's because the game is old. Not because of event weekends.
