Double Experience Weekend
Date: Sep 27, 2006 Author: Jon Wood
Guild Wars has announced another new double experience weekend. The event will be taking place from September 29th to October 1st:

This coming weekend, from Noon PDT on Friday, September 29 through 11:59 p.m. PDT on Sunday, October 1, you will receive double experience from capturing elite skills. Instead of gaining 250 times your level in XP, you will receive 500 times your level. Join Guild Wars this weekend and enjoy the bonus XP.

So, I ask, why Lineage 1 use to have events like this all the time, and now another NcSoft product does, but Lineage 2, which is most likely one of the hardest grinds in the land of online games, don't we get something like this.


I know an increased drops event and the like are bad, but I can't see how an increase exp. points weekend would hurt anyone....

I'd love that too. We need to have an event based on this. We don't need double drops though. It will encourage everyone to get back into the grind a bit more :P

A zariche in every garage... I mean warehouse... would solve this.

Put an elpy in every pot and you have yourself a deal.

You left the strider out of the analogy for some reason!?!?!
Wouldnt' it be "a strider in every clan hall......"?

As for dbl exp--can't really generate feelings one way or another.
Seems L2 has ways for us to just pick different mobs and get higher exp (or lower).
At the same time, I kind of like being the only one in the hunting grounds in the 40's-50's......hehe.

I wasn't really paying attention. but if it's only for skill caps thats a pretty lame event. Also guild wars needs bonus xp? I made 6 rp chars to 20 in a month. Going slow. You can max out in less then 2 days barely trying.

City of Heroes/Villains also received a double experience weekend a few months ago. :(

I think they should have a Triple SP event so that I can upgrade my skills conducive to my level since the C5 update. [Yes, I'm still whining about this]

I still say they should have given everyone SP difference of the skills they have now and what they cost in C4... but now it's too late, of course. ;(

Double xp W/E would be a nice break I guess, but I won't really go "whee". Money events, hate them as I may, are more useful for the average player.

So, I ask, why Lineage 1 use to have events like this all the time, and now another NcSoft product does, but Lineage 2, which is most likely one of the hardest grinds in the land of online games, don't we get something like this.

Because, if we had something like this, L2 would lose the title of "most likely one of the hardest grinds in the land of online games" =D

J/k =p
Dunno too...

But imagine the shere number of dwarfs, throwing themselves in wave after wave at the guards around each city. The thought at the lemming parade brings tears to my eyes and makes me want to open a popcorn stand just to be able to watch the fun !!!

Oh, I say, Oh how the Gods of Aden would be proud of NcSoft.

/agree

I think this would be a great event! I even asked the question to Rust, I just hope the question is asked!





Take care

You might get lucky.....I found a lil dwarf throwing himself to a guard fully geared....he wasn't fully geared when he was finished though.

Because EXP is nothing in GW? Double EXP, by itself, would suck. I wouldn't play that weekend.

double xp would turn into a huge pvp weekened lol

agreed an event like that would be cool, but if it was only double exp it would suck for all those that need more SP than they can get (which is alot of the classes) so take this event and raise the SP gains to be proportional to the exp gain... then i'd be there all day :)

i.e kill a mob get 1000 exp and 72 SP normal play day
during event; 2000 exp and 144 SP

So you kill mobs then delvl half of the XP you got. :P

Still wouldn't play it. Imagine the lowbies that are now leveling up faster than they can afford.

This only works if it's EXP/SP/Adena. Or SP/Adena. Or SP. Or Adena.

Adena > Xp/Sp.

Elrohir makes a solid point, it would mean lowbies lvling up faster then they can afford buying new gear.

Yeah.. All of the 2 or 3 new players L2 gets every month now will be in trouble!

but a **** good time to lvl accademy alts lol

Elrohir makes a solid point

You take that back!!! :mad:

Omg did I hurt your feelings now? :eek:

Don't we already have only adena events now? This event would work and would make the servers feel more populated than they are now. But of course it wouldn't effect how many people are hunting around me anyway since I have to either hunt in isolation or kill the wartags hunting in my region. Means more PvP points for me and seemingly less exp loss :P

Might make me want to exp now since the CH manager bug. I can't stand buffing up now.

A weekend with no town soldiers!!!....that should be fun.

GW is not about exp.
Making a top max level pvp characters takes 4 clicks (?) with your left mouse button,
I would even remotly compare it....
