A mini-pet weekend where all the mini-pets are put into an arena and fight it out amonst themselves. We could even have some limited control! That would be fantastic to see mini-pets 1. actually do something and 2. beat the crap out of each other.

Random AB arena's weekend for Alliance Battles.

Do you remember the 12v12 that was so much fun during the PvE Beta for Factions? How about changeing the Alliance battles back to 12v12 random teams as it was during Beta for one weekend. Then you Double the move line effect that is already being used.

BrutusV · Sep 06, 2006, 07:26 PM // 19:26

- Event where monsters drops can include alcoholic beverages and double drink effect duration
- Random HA event ie. random arena style
- Random Alliance Battles
- Ability to use skills in town against other people (pure chaos for 1 weekend!!)
- Double quest experience reward in Prophecies (so many unfinished quests...)

Sir Skullcrasher · Sep 06, 2006, 07:27 PM // 19:27

double green drops weekend would be fun. double materials drop... basically everything that peoples said on this thread sounds fun!

Faust Viiii · Sep 06, 2006, 07:31 PM // 19:31

How about opening up the Factions map to certain area's such as House Zu Heltzer or Cavalon, to allow people to capture skills they need or acquire items they require such as armor from the crafters, it would be a nice idea for people to get what the needed before going onto Nightfall.

TheMosesPHD · Sep 06, 2006, 07:35 PM // 19:35

Maybe there could be some events that are for the most part just visual changes just for fun. Such as:

-Huge players week/weekend: For the duration of the event, all characters are twice as large as normal. There could also be a mini-game where you go around stomping on fire imps :O
-Huge weapons weekend: In case you don't like the huge characters weekend :P
-Hug-a-Charr/Tengu weekend: For the duration of the event all henchman models are replaced with Charr and Tengu models.
-Upside down weekend: For the duration of the event players can enable an option to turn the view upside down.

Other stuff:
-Armor color changing weekend: Mayhaps rather than increasing dye drops which can be horded for later sale, have a weekend where you participate in certain games/quests which earn you points towards changing your armor color for free. The ammount of points needed to change color is dependant on the color of armor. Silver armor would take a many points and black armor would take many many more points.

Ya I know these ideas are all sort of half-baked, but maybe they'll inspire some better ideas :P People seem to be stuck on all of the double this, double that weekend events.

EDIT: Oh and maybe GWGuru can have a double post weekend where each post counts as 2 for your total post count. :P It's all about the postcount

tomcruisejr · Sep 06, 2006, 07:35 PM // 19:35

how about this. a one time mini event, that is formally opening the 6vs6 HA.

SpeedyKQ · Sep 06, 2006, 07:42 PM // 19:42

Something with challenge missions would be cool. I think they are a lot of fun, but they go mostly ignored because the rewards are so lousy.

A weekend where HA teams were created randomly would be wacky, as long as teams' attempts to enter simultaneously were foiled.

Questing weekends - people get good rewards (not just XP) for doing Sorrow's Furnace quests, or titan quests, or FOW quests, or UW quests.

Zinger314 · Sep 06, 2006, 07:42 PM // 19:42

Double Ecto and Shards + Access to FoW/UW regardless of favor. It was originally my idea, I've said it once, I'll say it again.

Also, in addition, for the current event, EXP scrolls should not end through death. That'll make more sense.

/agree completely... my comp almost overheated during the Dragon Festival, so i couldn't really leave it on for more than an hour (heat wave ftl), then i had to shut down because it was making some REALLY weird noises

Ah well, i'd like to get the Unlucky/Lucky titles still, even though i've got better ones, but still... just for the sake of having another useable title to 'brag' with...

Oh, and i'd like to see the halloween thing come back this year, i missed out last year (even worse, i couldn't play GW for an entire month! Damn you Tiscali ADSL! My guild almost fell apart when i wasn't there! ACK!), and i just want some of those items... the mask, most importantly) :'(
Perhaps you just use the same stuff again, but add events in areas like Denravi and Amnoon Oasis (those areas could use some more visitors), but i want a Pumpkin Crown thing, most importantly

The Drunk stuff could be fun as well, perhaps just redecorating a town (not Factions Only or Prophecies Only, that's just discriminating then), devoting it to the joys of drinking (but actually, i don't drink nor smoke in real life, lol), and having some kind of bar fight arena, throwing beer at eachother or something, and when you hit someone, his vision is blurred for a while, etc.)...

Perhaps a Double alliance faction event would be useful AFTER Nightfall's release, because i fear AB's will hardly be done when NF comes along... it could use a popularity boost for sure then...

Great ideas, though!

Well I think the 6v6 event was to test the balance of a new PvP type that will be out during Nightfall. I had thought the Hero vs. Hero battles were gonna be 3v3, which would be 6v6 once each player brings a hero, but then the press release says it's a "one-on-one" challenge.

But it also says a team of heroes, meaning more than one, so maybe HvH is still gonna be 6v6.

tommarrow · Sep 06, 2006, 07:48 PM // 19:48

How about a extreme makover event where you can change your face, hair, hair color or height.
Increase the amount of materials from a slavaged item.
Give all bosses a secondary proffesion including a second elite for double capping opportunities.
Raise the level of all high end bosses to Lvl32
We could conga with Gaile all over both continents. Instead of a million man march it would be a million man conga.

frickett · Sep 06, 2006, 07:49 PM // 19:49

Hey some great Ideas here guys, lets keep them going.

Here is mine
-Remember when we were able to get double faction for aspenwood and the jade quarry, That was great, people actually showed up for the jade quarry and people who had been wanting to play here were actually able to.
My idea is to focus on certain locations. Like when they opened up the elite missions. Maybe some that focus on the mission locations that have little to no population a lot of the time. Like unwaking waters. It is almost always empty. We could have extra drops in that mission for the weekend, or double rewards. Or something completely different.
-Another Idea that I have is a doublepartysize weekend. Instead of being limited to 8 characters for most locations we could use 16.
I dont know if those are feasable, but those are my ideas.

tommarrow · Sep 06, 2006, 08:09 PM // 20:09

How about a prize for the people with the highest scores in the challenge mission areas?

^16 people might be overdoing it just a bit. Maybe 10 would work.

Zinger314 · Sep 06, 2006, 08:09 PM // 20:09

To some people, this isn't a "subliminal-suggestion" thread. (i.e. 6v6 HA or restore ABs)

It's Double. 2x. Not new content.

(Opening Competitive Missions to PvP Players does not count as new content.)
