They really can't give you events like "all monsters have chance to drop ectoplasm/obsidian shards..etc."

When Prophenchies was released at the end of April 2005, there was NO EVENTS AT ALL except halloween and wintersday or I really did miss something. Now there is minor events every weekend and some players complain that they are not special enough? You prefer to have no events at all? Then just ignore them. Simple. It is free after all.

I Remember my first Events was the xmas one, it was funny because of the atmosphere that was created, the Hat , The Decorations , The gifts, Candy Canes , Candy weapons

So this is the kind of event i hope to see again.

Those are two completely different degrees of events. We have these cute little "double-your-fun" events that give some tiny bonus for the weekend. Some people like them, others don't care.

Then we have the big holiday events- Halloween, Winter Festival, Day of the Tengu, and the Dragon Festival. Decorated towns, party hats, souvineer items, the works. I think the difference is fairly obvious, and it's kind of unfair to compare the two

---

I really hope it's the in-game message that's in error and not the website. If the event affects Tyria I'll probably do some SF runs with guildmates to get weapons for my Heroes, if not then I probably won't do any farming. Though I could always give that Kaolin Water Staff another go...

I know it's futile, but I still hope that ANet will someday do a Tyria-only event to make up for all the Cantha-only stuff they've been doing. Ah well, I guess in 24 days Factions will fall by the wayside anyways, and we'll have "Elona-only" events for six months.

Over the last event I killed about 80 (factions) bosses and got no greens. Maybe Mhenlo had more luck...

2 x 0.000001 = 0.000002 :'(

Solo/duo farming week-end. How sweet! Would be nice to have a social week-end: "quest normally, and you'll get a good reward for a change..." .

Yes, its pity that double chance doesnt mean double drop

Sir Skullcrasher · Oct 03, 2006, 10:55 PM // 22:55

I wonder with henchies.. does your chance go up during the double green drop event?

I do ignore them. I have better things to do with my weekends. Now, I'd stick around for a "Mad King" or "Wintersday" event. Not complaining .... just stating my choice.

Evilsod · Oct 03, 2006, 11:16 PM // 23:16

I detect large profits from Kaolins on the horizon... Shame this event had to come exactly 24hours AFTER i bought a Kaolin Blade because the boss wouldn't drop.

They don't need to... people will play Prophecies regardless. Factions is so short and so shite in comparison they need to do something to keep people in it. Beyond the fact that i can make more solo farming Canthan bosses theres nothing keeping me in Cantha (well maybe the fact i still need Prot titles on most my chars).

That would actually be a good event. Even though you can guarantee its gonna be double exp/gold/tradables/faction(?) but at least it would make people play the game.

Kais Unduli · Oct 03, 2006, 11:20 PM // 23:20

Does this mean henchies have twice the oppurtunity to steal my green drop?

I wonder what Anet has planned next? Double crafting items drop weekend? 40/40 casting/recharge bonus on weapons for a weekend?

Sasuke The Betrayer · Oct 03, 2006, 11:22 PM // 23:22

Hey guys, I don't see the Guild Wars Double Green Drop event on the start of Guild Wars. All I see is that warning third party programs nothing else.. any ideas?

Alleji · Oct 03, 2006, 11:23 PM // 23:23

Who cares, 90% of the greens are worth pennies anyway.

Spike · Oct 03, 2006, 11:23 PM // 23:23

I've lost count of the number of factions bosses I've killed but it must be into the 000's by now, and the total number of greens I've got is 3 I think. I've got the same number of greens in ONE SF run that I have EVER got in cantha.

The 2x xp for caping skills was for BOTH tyira AND cantha. So why should'nt this be the same.

The weekends will very likey stop once Nightfall comes out. At least for a while

Lexar · Oct 03, 2006, 11:33 PM // 23:33

I must say I like these little events better than the big ones. The big ones always made me feel like 'why didn't they spend all that time and effort on something we really want like an auction house or a barber'. These events give me the impression they might be busy on stuff that matters more and they kinda make you do all kinds of different stuff every weekend. You don't have to farm all crazy but I did decide to cap 4 elites since I had nothing better to do anyway. These little events kinda make GW feel more dynamic because stuff is different every weekend, whereas the big events just add a lot of out of place graphics and lots of junk items you never use afterwards twice a year. So keep it up

Maybe I'll buy some greens when they're cheaper and indirectly enjoy the weekend after all

It doesn't change the way I play but it's a nice extra.

Ya, I really don't like selling my greens once I get them unless it's a green I don't want, and I only farm for greens I want, which all happen to be in Tyria as far as I can think of. If this applied to both continents, then it would accually be worth it for me...well, I guess its time to go on wiki and see if there are any greens I want now that I didn't want before....

People like you are getting really anoying. I wish people like you would stop thinking that just because you don't like Cantha that much, everyone else thinks the same. I, along with many others, like Cantha a lot more than Prophecies, and really, the only thing keeping me playing propheices is trying to get my chars to Ember Light Camp just so I can get any skill I want with that character all my characters.

Neo Nugget · Oct 03, 2006, 11:47 PM // 23:47

I would perfer to be in both.......i dont mind factions.......

Your a minority.

The sales of Factions show it all...On the average Tyria is the favored continent.

Anyway, Ghial farming going up? who cares.

I'll "Farm" some Shing Jea greens for fun.

xenex · Oct 03, 2006, 11:51 PM // 23:51

Yay, postponed.

Priest Of Sin · Oct 03, 2006, 11:55 PM // 23:55

I want Double EXP for quests... do one FoW run, get 40 skillpoints!

Altho this green event doesn't sound too bad.

This game is so completely full of narcissists. You all paid $50 or less several hundreds of hours of play time ago and then bitch when Anet tosses in something for free that was never promised to you when you bought the game.

It's a good thing so many people play the game because I've been able to guild with a small group of people who play the game for fun and don't complain all the time.

Where in the world did you come up with that statistic? Anet rarely releases any specific figures other than total sales (which is around 2 million last I checked), so you can't claim anything regarding "on average", "most", "majority", etc. to be valid.

As for this weekend, I think it's a little late in the cycle. Most bosses have been soloed/farmed to death, so really I think this benefits those that still looking for those last remaining few to finish their collection (such as myself). Now if they doubled the green drops for the elite missions ...
