here my idea special armor weekend for example

take underworld u must complete it then a ghost pops up and rewards u with say a "head gear"

fissure same thing once completed you get a "chest"

the deep once completed u get "legging"

urgoz u complete it then u get the "boots"

warcamp u know that mission where u have to kill that robot boss +3 fire angels what ever they are called and u get the "gloves"

and there u go u have completed your armor set

or instead u get say a customised token for each completed mission as mention above total of 5 customised tokens and you can excange the tokens to get your rewarded special event armor.

my 2 cents gives something to do in pve and be highly rewarded.

how about.... SUPER ELITE UBER WEEKEND OF 6MAN ELITE MISSIONS THAT TELEPORT YOU STRAIGHT TO 3 ROOMS OR ASPECTS BEFORE THE BOSSES AND THE BOSSES DROP A GREEN ITEM FOR EVERY1 IN THE PARTY! (except the ritualists and assasins cos i dont like them stealing my drops!)

this way everyone is happy but the only downside is no chests and half experience and it costs money to get there. BUT you can travel there by talking to spongebob squarepants in kaineng center instead of LF TAXI FOR THE DEEP OR URGOZS WARREN!

take into consideration because i said so

Anyways, a huge, weekend long, Luxon vs Kurzick battle for most kills would be fun I think.

Some people (like me) are having a hard time getting through some missions, so

for a weekend ......
new collectable Super Monk Dust
a reasonable number of these at a trader for a Super Monk
Super Monk is activated like a Birthday Present, but has only one use, he comes out of your inventory when you double click on him, and disappears when you enter a city / outpost
Super Monk has unlimited energy and armor, spams heal party and resurrects anyone that dies
Super Monk takes 100% of all drops

Customize Super Monk, so it cant be sold
After the weekend period, he acts just like a pet (no heal / res), and is still only good for one use.
The leftover dust will end up like the 103 Jade Wind Orbs I carry around

This way, people that are having a hard time getting through certain missions will be able to continue on with the story line.

I also like the UW / FOW pass idea

Hi there

How about a Scavenger Hunt that takes place on both Tyria and Cantha.

When you complete the hunt, you can trade your items in for some sort of prize.

Actually, this should have been implemented with the 6x6 weekend. I had r3 before hand but the 6x6 weekend created many r6's in my alliance.

-- Double Fame and Faction Weekend
-- Double Skill Points
-- Double Dye Drops (Including Black and the newly unveiled WHITE) Hint Hint!!
-- Elite Mission Access
-- Re-Open the mini arenas (Dodgeball and Snowball) Nobody in thier right mind would delete those, we know you have them

-- No Favor weekend for access to FOW and UW
-- More games for the Lucky and Unluck titles
-- Some one mentioned a "Boss Hunter weekend" with double XP and drops.

Crush · Sep 07, 2006, 06:30 PM // 18:30

1- free access to uw and fow
2- double ecto and shards ^^
3- (this is not a weekend event but i hope you'll do that sooner or later) add a new area similar to uw and fow accessible through other statues, or a free update like SF

My Sweet Revenga · Sep 07, 2006, 06:34 PM // 18:34

Hrmm cool. Guess I"ll just repost what I did in the other thread, and add a few more ideas ^^

- Double MONSTER SIZE.... can you imagine fighting kuunavang or glint?
- Double dye drop..... let's get those black dye prices down
- PVE balth faction.... killing pve monsters gives you balth faction
- Extended PVP.... 12v12 or 16v16 in all pvp arenas
- Royal Rumble.... modified 8 player PVP arena where it's every man/woman for himself/herself. 8 men enter, 1 man leaves! 8 men enter, 1 man leaves! Oh, and rez sigs/skills become weapon skills with different attributes.
- Special event arenas revisited.... bring back dodgeball and the snowball fight arenas. Add a new one where you gotta shoot ducks

=== Some new wacky ideas ===
- A special weekend event where assassins take only half damage

- The Amazing Race, tyrian/canthan edition. Can leave quick travel in place, but put waypoints in harder to reach locations like the back of the ice imp cave in mineral springs or in the middle of mission zones.
- Scavenger hunt that takes place across the whole continent of tyria/cantha
- Lemming arena - 8 players spawn on a platform surrounded by water, kinda like the login screen

Only the catch is the platform tilts randomly causing players to slide towards the low end. And the outer edges of the platform slowly starts to shrink in size. Skills include 2 second dolyak sig, shove, sprint.... I dunno what else heh. Auto targetting is disabled and you can only shove what is adjecent and in front of your character. Objective is to be the last one on the platform.
- For a weekend (or preferably, a permanant change) minipets can attack. All minipets have the same attack rate and only do 1 dmg per hit.
- Did I mention Double MONSTER SIZE?

SPIRIT OF THE SEA · Sep 07, 2006, 07:31 PM // 19:31

minipet day- minipets can drop from chests in certain places and not any minipets ones u can get any other place (maybe a urgoz minipet? or maybe a togo minipet)

factions as one day- all towns are nertualized for one weekend so taht it gives a cahance for kurzicks to get luxon armor and luxons to get kurzick armor without doing the qeusts.

Yes I can, although I admit having them in towns would suck...

But I must ask can you now imagine me in a party of 8 each with 5 mini seige turtles out. Thats 40 mini seige turtles out in the gayala hatchery mission and me yelling "Turtle Clan, MOVE OUT!" Now thats a turtle clan you can be proud of... not just some lame 3 seige turtle, and 5 young turtle clan psh....

double rating weekend! (screwing up the ladder is fun, right?)

non-pve fun weekends are amazing; I couldn't give a crap about double percentage of gold drops.

hugs and kisses Gaile, let's have more pvp fun weekends that don't have to do with Alliance battles or fort aspenwood.

Quoted because its all pure gold.

Add to that something to appease PvEers. How about a double monster spawn weekend. The increased difficulty might actually make PvE enjoyable instead of mindless.

And for the record, double scroll duration weekend is the WORST idea in the entire world EVER. It might have an off chance of actually having a point if it was after a new chapter release and you needed skill points, but now?

lennymon · Sep 07, 2006, 11:52 PM // 23:52

no minipets in town!!! very VERY bad idea... as Im sure you are aware (and Anet IS working on it) we already have lag issues server side.
I do really like the ideas regarding the gigantic stolen shipment of booze thats been being found all over the realms. With the obvious shortages in shopkeepers inventories, they will be paying a bounty for adventurers to get and return servings of it (whadya mean thats all there was??? You must've drank some!).
The random HA weekend is a cool idea, I'd play.

edit: this minipet idea IS cool:

LifeInfusion · Sep 08, 2006, 12:07 AM // 00:07

(proposed already):
- double dye drops
- double luxon/kurz faction
- double balth. faction

My original ideas:
- double Morale from bosses
- double collectable drops
- half price weapon crafters
- half price skills

Sarcasm:
- No map (M) capability weekend to make people appreciate it
- Half/Double skill bar weekends to make people appreciate 8 skill bar
- Double cast time weekend (PvE) to make people appreciate mesmers in PvE

basically anything that won't hurt players that don't participate that much

Clinically Proven · Sep 08, 2006, 12:16 AM // 00:16

6v6 HA!!! - actually make that permanent

Double Dye drops
Double gold item drops
Ale drops

MooseyFate · Sep 08, 2006, 12:23 AM // 00:23

I have two thoughts of the mini-events. Solve these, and greatly improve mini-events in general.

1) They encourage grind. Example, I love Aspenwood. On the Aspenwood/Quandry event, I was into getting a character through the story missions, and felt like doing that. I ended up playing a lot of Aspenwood, even though it wasn't what I was really in the mood for. I wish I had a solution to this problem for you.

2) I can play most weekends, but I'm sure there are examples of people who can't. Why not have some mini-events be durring the week, or last for a week? Or happen on a couple of occasions for people out of town?

My favorite things you've done with mini-events is to let grind-reducing aspects of them stay.
Faction X weekend (or whatever it was, I think about a year ago): double balthazar faction. This ended up staying in the game. This is great because it reduces grind. But there's still waaaay to much grind. Don't get mad at me for saying that, because GW originally claimed no grind with their game. I'd suggest re-introducing the tokens that could be exchanged for faction. That improved the grind problem, but still comes no where close to fixing it.

Aspenwood/Quandry weekend: PvP characters can still play these maps. This was a problem that made me very close to not buying factions. But now it's solved, thank you.

Other mini-event ideas:
Try out anything the development team is thinking about. For example, 6v6, which normally isn't available.

2v2, 3v3, or 1v1 (in that order) sounds awfully fun to me as well. Or a match of 3v1 where the 3 have to kill the 2 in 5 minutes (I originally said 3v2, but that would be awfully for the offence unless confined to an area the size of the Shing Ja Monistaries areas waiting room).

yesitsrob · Sep 08, 2006, 12:30 AM // 00:30

Zaishen Medal.

Which should be permanent anyway - if i can stock up on skill points why not faction?

But I would love for a weekend with zaishen medals again.

Add in Green drops and we are set PVE get something but PvP gets a good chunk
