Ok, I dunno whether they have done this already or someone has already posted this (not in the first 5 pages anyway).

A good idea for Fun Weekend is to enable TWO elite skills to be equipped in the skills bar instead of ONE for the weekend

That would be fun....
....but Im not sure if only for PvE or for PvE and PvP both

P.S. I created this account just to post this =)

OR some Beers can have effects like Illusion of Haste for 10 seconds in town.

Drink enough Beers and all the women toons look like Ritualists...

The Beer idea's are endless...

Oktoberfest, if its the traditional German festival ^_^

FOW/UW open days, no favour or cost

Get rid of the lag

Get rid of fireworks and bring in the pole dancers!

Oktober fest, have bands playing etc...

Find the scribe! A hunt in game to find the scribe, search through towns and outposts etc... He could leave clues in certain places etc...

Half price skills!

Increase dye drops

Increase rune drops

Instant kicking for those "WTS......" in chat channel and not in trade!

Public stoning event for those characters found to be selling gold for real money and scammers etc... We can all collect granite slabs and use them to stone them! Or what about public hangings?

An Autumn weekend,

Place mushrooms in outposts and maps where little gnomes live in.
The gnomes should be very shy and run away from you when you get near them,
but when you catch one he will give you gold or a key or maybe some special gnome brew.

And also some extra (mini)quests like the stone summit dwarves arent happy with the arrival of the autumn gnomes,
because they steal there booze and disable their catapults and wooden machinery.
The stone summit also like to preserve the right of being the smallest humanoid creature ingame, so they are a bit grumpy.
They were allready upset by the arrival of a mini prince rurik.

So you can have the option to join the stone summit in the hunt for the autumn gnomes (i know the stone summit are "evil" but they will need all the help they can get),
when succesfull you get a stone summit helmet.

Or you can aid the autumn gnomes and protect them from the stone summit dwarves,
and help them disabeling their catapults and machinery.
when succesfull you will get a gnome hat (that pointy thing).

And maybe we can have some PvP battles like people aiding the stone summit vs people aiding the autumn gnomes.

these PvP battles shouldn't be like the average pvp battle but more like mini games.
Like a battle where the people aiding the stone summit get an hammer and try to splat as much gnomes as they can,
this while the people aiding the gnomes try to steel the summit supplies and disable their machinery.

And when the stone summit loses they must stamp with their feet and ball their fists and say: "Grrrrr", like they are really angry
And when the gnomes lose they should jump up and down and run arround and scream with their high little squeeky voices: "Oh, no" and "whaaaa"

You should be able to pick a side for each character,
but when a character made a choice he shouldn't be able te change his mind. So you can get a gnome hat or a stone summit helm and not both (on a single character).

And maybe should the gnomes have some information about what happend to Gwen, something vague to keep the mystery alive.

And i also like the double dye drop idea

Beast Arena Weekend:
6 ppl are fighting against a strong monster in arenas.
after every win you get into another arena with a stronger monster.
after some rounds you fight against 2 strong monsters with another 6 man team.
after clearling the last round you get special drops like in hoh.

double exp event:
get double exp in pve and 100exp for pvp kill / 1000 exp round clear

makosi · Sep 08, 2006, 01:06 PM // 13:06

Perfect Rares weekend. Every rare item has a perfect dmg mod, perfect prefix AND suffix mod. 'Perfect mods' can be anything as long as each health mod, furious or sundering is max and dmg mods will not be 14>50, +14 -10AL etc.

That would bring down prices a bit because they are extortionate atm.

ojo · Sep 08, 2006, 01:13 PM // 13:13

skill hunter weekend - signets of capture cost half the price and you get double rewards for captures

quest weekend - you get double rewards for completing quests

dye weekend - double the chance of dye-drops

blacksycho · Sep 08, 2006, 01:16 PM // 13:16

+ Event for better drop chance for Keys and better drop chance for golden items of chests in Tyria.
+ Event for random, hidden Chests in Tyria (where you don't need a key do open).
+ Also for Cantha
+ Event for better drops from Bosses over lv 24 (this means a 50% chance maybe for a purple drop, 20% chance for a golden drop) for Tyria.
+ Also for Cantha
+ Event for a better Chance for a rare ressource drop (this means Obsis, ectos, steel, and so on...)
+ Event which places new random bosses all over Tyria/Cantha with a random elite skill. All bosses are lv 28 (so it could be that a lv 28 Boss is in Shing Jea or in Old-Ascalon)
+ Event which makes monster do drop with a chance of 30% Dwarven Beer (the Stone Summit for instance) and other alcoholic drinks.
+ Event for double Balthasar Factions in GvG and Heroes Ascent.
+ Event which doubles your Life Points and Energy Points in PvE.

Helcaraxe · Sep 08, 2006, 01:25 PM // 13:25

I like the Oktoberfest idea, and the naked weekend, and the Beast Arena (kinda like what gladiator arenas are supposed to be, roman style) And the guy with the Gnomes has a good idea. and there was one more I read.... oh yeah! The catacombs unveiled in post-searing!

chessyang · Sep 08, 2006, 01:28 PM // 13:28

how about a reduction of xxxxx instead of double xxxxx. (oh wait that sounds werid and stupid)

For the Exploration title? double your exploration w/ a level 40 henchman? (only a full team or 2 human and the rest henchman)

ya the fow or UW would be nice. and every hour and a half it changes favor.

do someting with the Ascalon & Luxon & Kurzick Settlements in prophecies!!! maybe a mini war/conflict (6 vs 6 v 6)

a Scavenger Hunt like the one by Rahja recently.

double your walking speed?
double the size of monsters? (as someone said)
double your winnings (or loseings) with some mini game
double your tradeing spam? (j/k)
double your merchant purchases/unlocking?
double trouble... have no clue but that title sounds nice =)

Sid Teh Axer · Sep 08, 2006, 01:39 PM // 13:39

O Nuxtofulakas · Sep 08, 2006, 01:50 PM // 13:50

I really like the following ideas/proposals:

- Beerfest (beer drops, longer time drunk, exchange "X" drops for beer)
- Any game with "unlucky/lucky" points

I am glad to see there is high demand for a "beer event" ...
Let's hope that Anet noticed it too

Bastmanu · Sep 08, 2006, 02:10 PM // 14:10

As Idea :

a 12vs12 GvG Week End, with double XP and for each XP = 1 Gold
and for each Team which win a GvG, like HoH, one chest to open.

a "Old" 8vs8 HA (HoH) Week End with double Fame (means the old numbers of teams / Map)
really wish to see 6 Iway teams on 1 map fighting and killing....

Skye Marin · Sep 08, 2006, 02:27 PM // 14:27

Make FoW and UW open to all for an entire weekend, and give extra rewards for quest completion. Give more rewards for the higher end quests so that parties won't beat the first two quests then quit and restart. These rewards could be ecto, shards, or lots of gold. The idea is to encourage balanced group to clear each place together over a huge quest.

For example:

Underworld:
+0 ecto Lost Soul: Clear the Chamber
+1 ecto o Reaper of the Labyrinth: Escort of Souls
+1 ecto o Reaper of the Labyrinth: Unwanted Guests
+4 ecto o Reaper of the Labyrinth: Restore the monuments of Grenth
+2 ecto + Reaper of the Bone Pits: Imprisoned Spirits
+2 ecto + Reaper of the Forgotten Vale: Wrathful Spirits
+2 ecto + Reaper of the Ice Wastes: Servants of Grenth
+2 ecto + Reaper of the Twin Serpent Mountains: Demon Assassin
+2 ecto + Reaper of the Chaos Planes: The Four Horsemen
+2 ecto + Reaper of the Spawning Pools: Terrorweb Queen

Fissure of Woe:
+0 shards * Rastigan the Eternal: Tower of Courage
+2 shards o Rastigan the Eternal:The Wailing Lord
+2 shards + Wailing Lord: A Gift of Griffons
+1 shards * Eternal Weaponsmith: The Eternal Forgemaster
+2 shards o Eternal Forgemaster: Defend the Temple of War
+2 shards + Eternal Forgemaster: Restore the Temple of War
+3 shards + Eternal Forgemaster: Khobay the Betrayer
+2 shards + Eternal Lord Taeres: Tower of Strength
+1 shards * Kromril the Eternal: Army of Darkness
+3 shards * Miko the Unchained: Slaves of Menzies
+2 shards * Nimros the Hunter: The Hunt

Or, you can add gold rewards (+1..3k each), and then double ecto and shard drops.

I'd love to see a return of the Zaishen medalions. Also, every 10 consecutive wins, you get a 3 Flames of Balthazar.

Thargor · Sep 08, 2006, 02:30 PM // 14:30

Gwen weekend. Fix all the gwen quests and let us at them all weekend. (I really think this should last longer than a weekend though, maybe the quests could be enabled one at a time as the weekend goes along and they all become permanatly available at the end of the event)

No favor weekend is also a great idea, like the gods took the weekend off and everyone has favor all weekend!

No leacher weekend. If you stand still too long in any PvP area you get booted and lose all faction, jade shards, amber, and all pvp titles earned on your account and lose the ability to earn them again. (This should also be permanant, had a guildie do aspenwood the other day and they had 1 leacher every game and one game had 3 leachers)

I also wouldn't mind having some of the weekends repeated. Double golds, double keys, double gold chest rate, Double fame (I missed this one due to vacation).

Trvth Jvstice · Sep 08, 2006, 02:36 PM // 14:36

I'd like to have a weekend event with the game developers (any ANET people would be fine) playing PVE. Just doing random missions and quests with the regular players. The ANET people should have a special title, so they would be recognised of course (like "staff" maybe).

Mazz · Sep 08, 2006, 02:46 PM // 14:46

What if in the major cities an Office is opend with a portal to the gods - Ticket Office.
You would be able to trade faction to a unique item - you could convert faction (Bathazar/ Luxon / Kurzick) to Grenths curse, Dwayna's kiss (for balthazar faction ) and Jade and Amber (for respectively Luxon and Kurzick faction).
A trader would give you access to FoW,UW,The Deep, Urgoz five times(tickets) for each respective item (Grenths curse, Dwayna's kiss, Jade, Amber).
This would promote PvP, PvE and Trading - without disturbing the economy - and no need for favour of the gods or taxi's. As a final catch - the teams will be assembled randomly.
That would be the true purpouse of Guild wars!
