Vova.2640 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I wonder if by "double experience in[...] World vs. World" they actually mean 2x more Wexp from kills, flips etc.That would be a rather pleasant surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kovu.7560 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I work every day this weekend. I wish I could bank this sort of thing and use it during my days off.Had there been more notice I may have been able to snag a day off. Kind of sucks, I spend a good amount of time farming nodes for profit.That said, that wxp boost, how is that calculated if boosters or other bonuses are utilized? For instance if I pop an exp booster for +50% world experience, will I in total be granted 250% 100%+100%+50% wexp or 300% (100%+50%)*2?~ Kovu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keenedge.9675 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 This is a bad sign. Reminds me of the struggling grinder MMOs from my early days.Will any effects stack ?33% yield + the one you already have from tool or booster ? or + the guild potion/banner boosts ?will the 2x boost multiply food/util effects, infusions, boosters or guild potions ?

Seth Moonshadow.2710 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I am supper excited about this "weekend Bonus" and hope it makes it's return in regularly. It would also be nice to see Karma, Reward Drop, Magic Find, and drop rate increase bonus weekends also =) you know for those that might not need XP as much ;)Still good move I like it so far :) I miss the Weekly Bonuses from gw1 :(Edit: Oh Oh Oh! after thought! Also maybe have Bonus Map related rewards like Airship Parts+Ley-Line Crystals+Aurillium+ Crystaline Ore, Then Crowbars+Chak Acid, and LWS3 stuff...wait am I going hog wild with this?!?........Nah =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
