DanAlcedo.3281 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Hi! First of , Thank you for the Bonus Weekend. For the first time in months , the Reset night was actuall fun again. Amazing fights all night long. The entire Weekend was nonstop fighting. The Idea of double WxP instead of something like Reward Track was a good one. We had almost no PvE Farmer. That the Bonus Gathering worked on the synthesizers was surprising. For the first time in god knows how long , WvW felt rewarding to play. Before , killing people gave often next to no wxp. I mean sometimes i still got only 4 Wxp for a kill. ( With 270% Boost). And capturing a Tower or Stonemist Castle was now worth fighting for. (Stone Mist gave 3700 WxP) However. The fact that it needed 5 different Booster effects to make WvW rewarding and fun again, is a bit sad. Even with the 270% Boost , i would not say the rewards of WvW are amazing. There basicly became "ok". Which shows (again) how bad the rewards of WvW normaly are. It also showed that defending is not worth it. The best example would be Stone Mist. Capturing it gave 3700 WxP. Killing the enemy Zerg was not even close to this. Letting the enemy capture SM and taking it back was way more rewarding then defending it. For me , this weekend was amazing but also shows many of the flaws of WvW. Im very sad that the fun time is over again. I hope we will get more of this in the future.

Ellegon Mcleod.5931 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Agree that is was a stunning weekend and was a good excuse to spend a longer time in wvw. Have to confess that I am one of the pve farmers but at least there was one or 2 border lands that were not in demand so could let the wvw queue for where they really wanted to be. Do know there was lots of begging from some people for people to leave. Maybe just need to either allow larger numbers in the popular areas when have an event like this or look at those who idle or just sit in the spawn area. Looking forward to the next time.

chrisjfinlay.5614 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I didn't spend any time in WvW or PvP (PvP has never been my thing and I've yet to dip into WvW), but even the PvE stuff definitely had a huge boost. Not that it's normally hard to find squads for world bosses but I saw a lot more "map is full" messages this weekend than I ever had before. It really helped me nail the last couple of mastery tracks I wanted too. It was beginning to feel like a slog until this weekend. All in all, GG ANet. Definitely went down well with all players, regardless of what tey mainly get involved in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Was great. I even did some WvW, the first in a few years besides monument capture for Daily. Found a zerg to run around with and ranked up once or twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pifil.5193 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I'd love to see some more bonus weekends being added to the game every now and then, not every weekend of course, maybe once a month or every couple of months. Bonus HoT weekends, bonus PoF weekends, bonus Fractal weekends and so on, giving bonus XP and a little bonus currency. In a game with as many different types and styles of content it's sometimes nice to give a little focus to one or two types of content for a while, it also helps those who want to do achievements.

Ashen.2907 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Didnt have much time to play this weekend, but really appreciated the bonuses for the small windows of play I could manage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oli.4597 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 This was such a good WE! Thank you so much for this. For me personally WvW felt more "lively" ... we had 75 que on EB and also the other BL had que. (que was never that high before) I also saw some old WvW guys comming back and join us! Like all other ppl commenting here .. pls bring something like this again! Me and also others had a lot of fun the last WE and thats what the Game is about. Fun!

Randulf.7614 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Indeed, I gained a lot of extra mats. Nice to see it is still going on too. I assume it ends later today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rauderi.8706 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Didn't change my gameplay at all. I'm not a farmer, all my characters are maxed, and I *don't* need more spirit shards. The XP and gathering bonuses are wasted on me. Same goes for WvW. Tweaking the reward doesn't change the *boring gameplay*. If it had been Double Reward Track Progress weekend, I might have, but for generic WXP, not worth putting up with Walk v Walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endless Soul.5178 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I'm not a WvWer, but I particularly liked the extra materials when gathering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoseofGilead.8907 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I didn't get the chance to go into wvw this weekend, unfortunately. But I was glad to see queues for half of the maps when I glanced at the wvw panel (something which doesn't often happen for the server I'm on).

Imperadordf.2687 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 This weekend was ducking nuts. I want more. It could be once a month or something like weekly bonus rotations etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadTreeJig.6714 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I really enjoyed the bonus weekend, I used it to level my Mesmer. 58 to 80 mostly with Awakened Invasions, almost half a bar of experience per portal. But... I don't think I would want this type of weekend too often. It's like Wintersday, if every day was Wintersday it would just become the norm.

Talindra.4958 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I have so much to do in wvw but I couldn't bring myself there. The bonus weekends give me a little push and I enjoyed ranking up this weekends.. Thanks and I hope we get this bonus xp very often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediwolf.8724 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I spent time gathering and some WvW. One thing I would like to see changed was the material gathering tools cost 7350 karma and only can be used 50 times. It doesn't take long to go through them. I think the picks and logging axes should have 100 uses or cost the same as the unbound tools. Unbound one only cost 4900 karma for the 50 uses. Make this event happen more often would be nice.

intox.6347 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Its only nice once per a longer time.... as a wvwer ... i was not that happy with Queues... but it goes with that... Just dont make it too often to keep that prestige of something interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
