Talk:Weekend events

The Pattern is dead. Long live the Pattern! (the new one, that is!)
I'm guessing that either somebody messed up somewhere, or they decided it was too much like hard work keeping the years in sync in amongst all the special events... Cynique 16:15, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Then I hope the next double VQ reward and/or double Kurzick/Luxon weekends are earlier than the predicted end of May. Couldn't max it last weekend :p. Judas 17:43, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Worst and strangeist part is EoTN double points was only 2 months ago! Why do it again so soon? I have those titles capped I really was looking forward to the double faction bonus, oh well.... --98.238.87.246 02:22, 3 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Apparently, people are getting double for JQ, not for eotn. The pattern is ok, it's ANet using the wrong announcement, apparently. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 20:19, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Late or left out with update?
Not getting double points--86.42.69.88 20:16, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * note on wiki, advertised the wrong event. truely double points in competive missions Ocren 23:27, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

EOTN REP or DBL competative?
Login screen now says Double luxon and Kurzick in competative missions... so which is it EOTN or double Lux/Kurz? 69.242.196.134 00:17, 5 March 2011 (UTC)


 * It was always competitive mish; ANet goofed on the announcement. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 00:57, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Caused quite a few of my guildies to go and vanquish areas they wouldn't have otherwise chosen to ^. Ah well master of the north pts. --[[Image:User_Chieftain_Alex_Chieftain Signature.png]] Chieftain  Alex 00:59, 5 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Big bleh on that. I spent hours working on EotN rep points on various characters last night to the exclusion of other things, assuming words were true. 208.66.245.115 17:17, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

this weekend
i think it is safe to say its going to be something to do with April fools.- Zesbeer 22:23, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Double green drops...
Does this mean double drop rate for the WiK minis too in the case of WiK bosses too haha? I guess not but would be awesome if it was true lol. PalkiaX50 18:47, 3 April 2011 (UTC)


 * 2x 0.00000001% is still only 0.00000002% (I might, of course, have slightly exaggerated the low drop rates for green items.) — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 18:55, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

no event
ok this weekend im sure its sweet treats event, but no confirmation? if we dont get the annual event they must be planning something big for next weeks birthday celebrations :P Spark-TBa 18:26, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Double gold exp etc for VQ
This should be put up. Its already on the login screen.Yumiko ^,~ 20:02, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I didn't know a weekend event like this even occurred ever. What with the introduction of zaishen vanquish quests I'll be making sure to have 3 quests stocked up when Friday rolls around to get the maximum possible benefit.  I guess at this point that would mean NOT doing today's vanquish (and the next 2) until Friday so good thing I didn't do it already.  I might suggest that others do the same. 72.220.21.110 05:26, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah, the wonderful science of bonus stacking... | 7  2   User_72_Truly_Random.jpg | 13:01, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Aw, too bad Friday's vanquish quest was for Marga Coast and I had already done that beforehand (and I don't like re-doing vanquished areas). Also, if I'd saved the quest for The Breach earlier in the week I would've gotten double gold at the end of that too but I didn't know Friday's quest would be something I'd already done.  Oh well, 5 boosted vanquish rewards is fine too. Pjwned 04:13, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
 * And of course I forget that the weekend event ends at midnight on Sunday so I only ended up vanquishing 2 areas with double gold in addition to accidentally closing the game in the middle of vanquishing Lahtenda Bog and if I hadn't done that I would've gotten 6k gold instead of 3k for vanquishing it. Groan bitch complain whine. Pjwned 09:37, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

It says "relevant areas" which areas are relevant for this bonus xp /gold ,, and even faction173.81.77.130 19:36, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
 * See Vanquisher. --Silver Edge 01:58, 26 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I'd also like to add that which is noted elsewhere on the wiki, due to lack of information dissemination. That is that the announcement does not indicate that there is double reputation/faction, but there is in fact double reputation/faction for double VQ weekends. I figure perhaps someone has to see this in one of the relevant places, since people continue to believe what they see on the login screen, which astounds me, given the history. -- Axis 02:39, 28 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I vq'd Drazach Thicket this evening and got double faction reward for the clearing: 22k vs 11k normal. ButeoRegalis 03:07, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
