I really enjoyed the double chest weekend that we had a bit ago.... a repeat would be fun

ropes782 · Sep 09, 2006, 05:27 AM // 05:27

I keep seeing this "double fun" every weeked, but does it really have to be something that you can "double"?

How about a weekend of just "FUN". for instance, you could include festival games at certain places or if you really want a "double" weekend then do something with the beers. maybe they last twice as long or something. I dont know.

I do know that:
more beer + festival games = FUN

(I'm sure there are others that would like to increase their favored/unfavored titles)

First thing I'd like to suggest is make all of the events available to Cantha AND Tyria. There have been a few that have been only in Cantha. Thats like punishing those that couldnt or chose not to buy Factions.
I would also like to suggest, for those trying to get the Skill Hunter title, Open Elite weekend - Able to cap from any boss no matter what prof. so we dont have keep going and changing our secondaries several times to cap all elites in say Sunjiang.

That is probably coming for halloween like last year and its also Nightfall release weekend this year. So who knows what they have planned this year

my favorite one would Be Double experience, but not only add the bonus to cantha....but Tyria also

other ideas...

~double chests instead of chest rates
~double ale rates
~add fame to other pvp areas...maybe team just
~add quests for explorable titles
~maybe another weekend of places to gain Ticket Titles
~hell...if 15 mill is max for exp add a title for experience
~double ecto/shard drop (that would really mess market up tho i imagine, but if anything get ppl to go to UW/FoW more)
~double pet experiance lol
~double monsters...that would be tricky but fun
~double AB faction
~add an item to a Specific area...for one weekend only...would really catch collectors minds
~reduce skill costs at skill traders to 1/2
~dye drops...thats a good one
~double HoH chest drops..tho i dont hoh it would really effect the number of people who do i think
~..have larger parties for high end missions...!
~nuetralization day between kurzick and luxons...can talk/fight for either or w/e

...ideas are limitless...i could go on for hours

yeah thx lol

Love the mini pets points idea fun but we may need a kennels in storage for pets, pet day care anyone!
Have you ever played hide and seek with your alliance groups.
Candy canes were fabulous so the dp sausage idea fun!
Arena net doing a great job love the masks, pets, yeah love this game.
I'll put more thought into this and keep checking in great ideas all!

Blizz Master · Sep 09, 2006, 06:15 AM // 06:15

I'd actually prefer that the weekend events be scrapped in favor of world expansions. I believe putting some time into expanding the Guild Wars world like the "Sorrow's Furnace" update would be a great amount of fun for the community. Besides, we explorers need something to do! =)

But, I shall submit an idea as well.

Perhaps a skill capturing weekend? Signets cost less, and maybe less exp to gain skill points?

I apologize in advance if this has already been suggested. I did not go through all the posts in this topic.

Special Collectors

A Weekend when special collectors are added with unique stuff, joke items, candy canes, beer, Green Items, other fun/cool/uncommon stuff.

Balthazzars Grace Weekend

Skills and Items cost half the regular amount of balthazzar faction to unlock.

8 Man Raid Weekend

Weekend where you form an 8 man party to go take down a really powerful boss, Like Glint/Kunu/Lich/Shiro, with massively deadly skills, you get some cool reward for beating it, like a special no armor level hat or a joke weapon or perhaps even money.

Wrath of the Dragons Weekend

This one is kinda out there, but you can gain access to some remote location where you have to fight Glint or Kunuuvang with like a 4 Man Party, access would be given depending on if you own Factions or Prophecies and an NPC would be put on each continent.

Blessings of the Gods Weekend

The underworld and fissure of woe have a double drop rate for rare items (not ectos and shards).

Ridiculous PvP Weekend

Never gonna happen, but for the weekend players could equip 2 elite skills on their skill bar for PvP Only

OKAY Im out of ideas -_-

looloo · Sep 09, 2006, 08:36 AM // 08:36

Koolman · Sep 09, 2006, 08:50 AM // 08:50

-- Repeat Double Fame 6 Man HA
-- Free Entry Into FoW and UW (16 Man Teams or 2 8 man teams enter together)
-- Beer Drop Weekend, Monsters Drop Beer and Ale
-- Double Exp Weekend (From All Monsters and Bosses)

Sieg Sol · Sep 09, 2006, 08:55 AM // 08:55

Double Gold drops please!..or give is a new scroll that gives double gold from kills...call it something simple like Gold Rush.

Or...add an arena for a Royal Rumble...anything goes..just a complete mess rofl!

Neriandal Freit · Sep 09, 2006, 10:04 AM // 10:04

You all should think outside the box and give fun ideas. All these are the same ones we've seen some form of :P

Nadine · Sep 09, 2006, 10:08 AM // 10:08

Hmm. I wuold love to have something related to gvg, and not the factions becouse my faction total is capped allrdy

artay · Sep 09, 2006, 10:20 AM // 10:20

For One weekend, in pvp, PEOPLE drop drops!!!!! (a random drop of course)

Aesop_Meiji · Sep 09, 2006, 10:53 AM // 10:53

It seems like nearly every idea that people have submitted is based on their want of personal gain, be it titles, faction, exp or drops. These event should be fun and you might get a reward if you participate.

GW isn't all about titles =D

Vital · Sep 09, 2006, 10:58 AM // 10:58

Need Mini Games, not Mini Events...

I want to be able to tee it up in FoW for a nice 18 holes.

Pet races, hell yeah.

A nice Snowboarding run down the Shiverpeaks, woot.

Max Xavier · Sep 09, 2006, 11:00 AM // 11:00

All of those are decently good ideas but you left one out that is the most annoying that would prove great for a weekend...One weekend of disabled trade and WTS juts a single weekend where you can actuall enjoy standing ina town without seeing Mobs of spam everywhere might even balance out the economy a little.

Medic · Sep 09, 2006, 11:14 AM // 11:14

Reading through these I noticed someone suggest that instead of creating these weekend events you guys focus some time and energy on developing new explorable areas. Personally I think that is the best suggestion yet. One thing that comes immediatly to mind is this, Grenth has UW, Balthazar has FoW, but Dwayna, Lyssa and Melandru, while all represented in ToA, have no realms.

Thaddeus Tael · Sep 09, 2006, 11:14 AM // 11:14

How about a Double Faction/Double Gladiator points extreme pvp weekend in which if you get enough faction you can exchange not for skills but for "Coca-Cola promotional bonus items" unlock, for those of us who are Not Korean/Pre-European '06 edition.

Rogier · Sep 09, 2006, 11:23 AM // 11:23

i'd like to have a weekend that every hour outposts are being attacked by enemy mobs, and every1 in the outpost has to defend the city, would be soo much fun
