I agree the HB weekend is pretty useless. However, almost all of the ideas listed in the OP are every bit as useless as the HB weekend is.

Double ectos weekend would be a useful weekend worth having. New weekend ideas should be as good as double ectos, or better.

Okay, I don't mind pvp weekends every now and then, but we've had two full months of pvp events with the exception of the special events. I'm personally sick of seeing events with the arenas and especially hero battles. Give us something worthwhile to do...It's like beating a dead horse.

At least when you suggested something to Gaile, they actually took it into account. Well..she did when I suggested alliance faction and eotn weekend in Feb. I don't know how hard they are actually working now on actually listening to people, but I wish they would. They would hear that a lot of people aren't happy about this weekend event and that they could do better.

Waiting for a weekend to get me to play more....i don't know what that will be specifically but.....i know it isn't HB. :P

umm one thign wrong this weekend is not even out yet on my sign in page what the weekend willbe , so the persont hat posted on wiki is wrong needs to be taken down

What percentage of GW population actually cares about HB?

Hell, what percentage of PvP population actually cares about HB? I don't know anyone. I'm sure it's less than alliance battles and even those get a healthy dose from the PvE side of the crowd.

Why must anet be so stubborn and keep pushing this epicfail of a PvP mode?

I have to agree - where is the proof of this? A note written by someone on the wiki who claimed to have heard it is far from proof.

There was also no need to start a new thread to prove your idiocy either....

Its in the Game Dev tracker section in a post written by Gailes replacement (Sorry I forgot how to spell your name).

Well isn't this perfect.. now I'll be studying even more for finals.

Seriously, who really cares about HB? It's a fricking 1v1 battle in terms of human players.. weekends are supposed to bring people together..

Ahh, I see. Now if that was simply linked in the OP instead of the wiki article, there would be no question.

EDIT: OT, now that I know this is really the weekend event, I agree with others. That is all.

Hexum · May 02, 2008, 05:17 AM // 05:17

Or anthing that isn't PVP related.

How about another free UW/FOW weekend or Urgoz/Deep.

How about a Dungeon Weekend, maybe make an area, like the boardwalk, with quick access to all dungeons.

Double drops in Elite areas.

Un nerf skills weekend.

Or how about a PvP weekend where people drop stuff that can be traded for something else? 1/1000 chance a killed enemy will drop a z-key or something.

1/2 price skill weekend or maybe Double chance for tomes

A chest and key weekend

I understand that these events are a special thing any ways, but they are not very special when most of them are double Hero Battle weekends. Yes I am whining and there are lots of others too, so naysayers can stick it, dont read the thread.

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Weekend_events

Post ideas for the devs.

Yea, this events are geting quite boring for me..i wud like something different, probabbly something that u have added in this post as an idea.

I suggest you check your closed thread that you started for the link.

As an aside, I now realize why they have to have green arrows on the compass.. some people would be totally lost otherwise....

Some things I am pretty sure WONT EVER happen are anything halving the costs of items.
I think we can discount 1/2 price skill weekends and in the same way 1/2 price armour and materials etc as they are anets gold sinks when the rings arent going.
I am just happy we get weekend events, I remember the introduction of them and try not to take them for granted as I realize how little Id look forward to checking the GW site if they werent there.
Slightly off topic, but Im reminded of it because of teh double tome drop mentioned, would be the trading of Tomes added to a merchant (maybe the Rune Trader?). At least then people would have access when they needed some say to unlock skills for a build rather than having to spam a major town.

they have to do the weekend events otherwise people will stop playing the game. for some its one of the only reasons they come back and play again.

I need another weekend of special things to drop like more holiday type items---sparklers, sweets etc....still need quite a few more points for my titles

so I will be doing the norm this weekend---probably NOT playing and finally enjoying the almost nice weather.....maybe thats what they are hoping we will all do?

and dont forget what NR used to do... anyhow if they did a weekend like that, players would be thankful for the nerf bat. and maybe there would be less QQ.

On topic.. i agree that us "PvE nubs" need something more than just a weekend that casues raptor farming to go rampant. i mean really for the last 3 weekends... people have either been raptor farming for whatever is dropping that weeknd OR afk on the rings. its getting boring. this hero battle weekend .. come on its like a quick fix. they picked the easiest script to implement.. and went with it(thats how it seems though i am probably wrong)
i mean i personaly have never even tried hero battles.. because i got a bad taste for them due to HA being over tun with heros a while back, robbing me of a real pvp ecpirience and only fighting 2 humans and 6 henchies.
And many other HA players feel the same way about hero battles(not saying all HA players jsut alot of the ones i know) and couldnt care less about stupid hero way. lets sugest feesable ideas and put the here for anet(hopefully they see it) and maybe we will have our gaming expirence spiced up. Back in the day htere never used to be any weekend events. so.. yeah dont forget that its an extra little thing anety does for us regardless of weather its appealing ot all of us or not.
