Double Luxon and Kurzick title points

Starting at Noon Pacific (-8 GMT) this Friday, you will receive double points for exchanging 1,000[sic] faction for Jadeite or Amber, for exchanging 3,000 faction for an alliance skill, and for transferring 5,000 faction to raise your alliance's reputation. This bonus will last through 11:59 PM Pacific (-8 GMT) on Sunday.

Interesting way to make up for Nicholas' Amber obsession, but at least it's something.

Nice to see they haven't updated the event description since Amber and Jade started costing 5k faction...

Lol, I didn't even notice that. Well +1 for Anet's copypasta abilities.

With 600/Smite taking a hit and the DTSC and MQSC groups possibly being out of luck, I can't wait to see how full JQ, FA, and AB get in the next few days, and how riddled of bots the first two become.

I've got a feeling that the waiting for JQ/FA/AB won't be a problem on the Luxon side. Hehe

I just vanquished Kurzick and Luxon areas last weekend. Ah well, I'll do a few kurzick areas for the title I guess.

Ugh... Just finished off legendary vanquisher and really don't want to vanq anything again for a good, long while... :-/

Nonetheless, I'll probably still vanq the entire Kurzick side of things a few times over this weekend... Not likely to ever actually max the title, but I futilely try. :-(

Suck balls, nerfing 600/smite right before this. For those who dtsc, load up your kurz faction before the update, then you can dump it first thing when this event kicks.

considering that the nerf would come on thursday (CET unknown) and the event starts on friday (CET evening), you would have ~60k faction to spend on the alliance, to accumulate 240k points to your title. that's neat, but those who actually do dtsc for town control can easily get much more than that in the ~24h gap, even by regular vqing morostav if 600/smite gets severely nerfed.
it's a good option for those who occasionally gain faction and focuses mainly on getting their statues in hom.

I just hope DTSC is still viable after the update. I am sitting on 29 titles and only need 4m more Kurz Faction to get my GWAMM. It would be a kick in the teeth to have to revert to some super slow faction farm on a double faction weekend ...

This thread is not about any of the upcoming nerfs/buffs, but about the upcoming weekend event.

You can discuss the upcoming balance update here.

Keep on-topic.

Well I think that's probably the point isn't it? I'm sure there's a lot of people that want a lot of faction quickly and will be willing to work for a new method in the 24 hrs after nerf :P

Weeee!! The Kurzick title track is the last one I need for GWAMM (already maxed Luxon).

Got 6.6million so far.. 3.4 million to go. This weekend should make a nice dent in that number!

Do a lot of the low end P vs P here either in Ft. Aspenwood or JQ. Rule of thumb has always been Luxon side has always been a much shorter wait to get into then the kurzicks. I've also seen way more bots on the Luxon side and an apathetic crowd which doesn't like to report them on that side. I have both titles maxed so I bounce back and forth on either side all things depending but if I want a short wait and fast faction, I always go luxon. This weekend should prove interesting though with people wanting their amber chunks.

Anyone else tend to find these same things ? I'd like to know how others experiences have been. I'm usually in there a few times each day or in the evenings.

Shorter waits on Luxon side and way more bots

Kurzick side much longer waits and sometimes many afkers due to the long waits or ppl just thinking they are going to win anyway and hoping no one will notice. I would have to say though that unless you have folks sync joining in JQ most of the JQ games do go to the kurzicks.

Woot, Kurzick is last title I need for GWAMM, then I can semi retire till GW2 comes out!

Ps. Aspi if you're vanq'ing I find that the Kurzick areas have a lot more monsters than Luxon.

This is a great way for me to replace the amber I just merched (1 hr spamming amber 1k vs. 1 min sell sell sell sell for 900 gold) Time is the decider for me. I did make the trader drop down in the 800 range at the end of my selling frenzy

This should be a good weekend for me.

I remember from the last event that A-net seemed to open more instances for Fort Aspenwood so the wait times aren't too bad for the Kurzick side, better than usual in fact.

No way more bots on the KUR side.. and lechers.

I played a game last night with 4 lechers. I wanted to just map out but then I would be just as bad as them. so, our team just all stood in the fort and waited for the 10-0 score instead of giving half the team faction on our backs.

This has to be changed and I do not care how good 4 people are, your never going to in 4-8.

Ever played Quake 2 Lithium mod? They had a great way for campers(similar a-holes to leechers)to either be killed or start moving. Bots might solve this but it's better than nothing

Lol to all you SF & 600/smite vanquishers afther last nights update. Now if you want to max your titles; head over to pvp and get ready for a good ass whippin. Finaly titles you'll have to earn. ^^

I'm looking forward to collect at least 50 zkeys over the weekend.

Looking forward to some fun AB matches, these weekends usually bring out the decent players on both sides.

AB & JQ != pvp

Maxing the titles via vanquishing is earning it just as much as playing 'pvp'. You kill stuff, you get points ... Just because you prefer doing it one way doesn't mean another way is wrong.

I can imagine that Seeping Wound sins will be popular in JQ this weekend.

I was thinking that some kind of Demonic Flesh nuker might be successful at taking out shrines, but that would have required the Shadow Form change to leak over into PvP.

heheheh You used "AB" and "decent players" in the same sentence. j/k

I didn't know Faction Weekend was coming but still managed to grab the ZC for JQ on several of my chars.

I've already maxed my Kurz doing JQ almost exclusively. One donate from r10 on Luxon. It appears to me that I'm earning Lux faster than Kurz simply due to the timer. I can get in 2-3 matches on the Lux side in JQ in about the same time I got 1 match on Kurz side. If we lose every match, the faction earned is about equal. If we win at least one in 6, Lux comes out ahead.

Also on the bot thing... I don't see bots very often in JQ anymore. (Maybe it's the time of day that I play) Still lots of nubs and leechers though. Nothing depresses me more than starting a match on my contagion bomber and realizing I have 4 AoE using, quarry scattering elementalists on my team. Oh... and 3 warriors.
