How about a "No waiting for AB" weekend?

Meh, I know that's wishful thinking. :/

Double glad weekend

Weekend where everyone that got their glad title before they got factions gets acsess to the glad arena(fierce glad, but i bought factions late

)

double hp weekend

double effect weekend(all skills have twice the effect like double damage double healing, double duration)

naked weekend, all armor pieces have 0 AL, or, all armor would not have any benefits, or all characters could just not equip armor at all.

Hyper weekend, all chars and creatures move 50% faster, but speed boosts have no effect, this one is my favorite.

i also enjoy the idea of a random HoH event

Lifeinthefridge · Sep 08, 2006, 03:02 AM // 03:02

An event where you can make groups of 12 you select for alliance battles and put representatives in balthazzar to take you to alliance battle grounds, and let guild teams be able to be made for these places

Here's an idea: Play against ANet devs weekend

Unfortunately, I don't think there will be enough devs to go around

Without being quite so drastic:

Experimentation Weekend: Key skills of infamous cookie-cutter builds are disabled for the weekend (at least in PvP).

Three words. Double Green Drops.

Now that would be fun. ^_^

kriswish · Sep 08, 2006, 03:28 AM // 03:28

Must have Octoberfest!

Drinking, games of chance. 1vs1

Mini Game bar brawl (like snowball arena)

Ecksor · Sep 08, 2006, 03:30 AM // 03:30

1 weekend event where you can charm any animal in the game.

bart · Sep 08, 2006, 03:38 AM // 03:38

I was thinking maybe there could be an event in Pre-searing where u can get gold items?

Random Character Weekend - All character models during pvp are replaced with certain random monster models. Heh.

Skill Cap Weekend - Signets of capture can be used twice instead of once. Or just free signets, and exp from it is doubled.

Farthest Point · Sep 08, 2006, 03:43 AM // 03:43

The best Idea by far, is 1 v 1 Random Arenas. I would love to see that.

Kidney Licker · Sep 08, 2006, 03:43 AM // 03:43

/Signed on the increased green drop rate. Heck make it a 90% drop rate. I've spent almost 10-12 hours over the past few days killing one boss over and over again waiting for it's green to drop.

It would be a good chance for people to get the greens they want from Factions before Nightfall comes out.

EtherealByte · Sep 08, 2006, 03:47 AM // 03:47

i dont know if this has been mentioned already, but how about a NIGHTFALL PVE WEEKEND?!

aye aye i second that. The outcome of the Nightfall PVE weekend would determine whether i buy Nightfall or not!

tomcruisejr · Sep 08, 2006, 03:53 AM // 03:53

here's a good one

2 vs 2 RA and quadruple gladiator points at 5 wins.

My weekend event ideas

A Circus event with a big top act
• In the act players could try to walk a tightrope while an effect similar to being drunk which makes you sway as you try to walk.
• I like the idea of having some NPC doing tricks with the various world animals that have appeared in any of the games. (Rabbit, bees, bull etc)
• A side show ally archery contest, 1v1 competitions, beer tent, animal rides as well as some of the games from the festival weekend along with the rewards previously offered.
• Lots of clowns I know I want to see Rurik as a clown after all that is perfect for him

A fancy dress weekend here we could have special animal costumes, or dress as your fav NPC

A Guild Wars Olympics

Pet Shows
Do up your fav pet a special weekend when you are able to give your pet haircuts dye them dress them up in special cloths much like cat shows

Special dance sync weekend best group wins a prize; my Dolls character is ready for this one

A food and wine weekend, here all the food drinks from past events are offered for players to try

Could have an area for each of the past end day events for players who started the game late.

More ideas later

Lyssa's Revenge weekend.
Annoyed at Balthasar's favoritism of certain builds/classes, the Goddess Lyssa used some divine domination magic on him to give double fame/faction on all HA teams containing at least two (primary) Mesmers. Teams exclusively made of Mesmers even get TRIPLE fame. Meanwhile in PvE all parties containing a Mesmer get double xp for monster kills.

EtherealByte · Sep 08, 2006, 04:04 AM // 04:04

[email protected]'s revenge weekend.
heck, if anet isn't ready to give us nightfall pve yet, i'll still be happy with melandru's realm...
hehe

The chest running weekend was honestly the most fun i've ever had in guild wars so i'd LOVE to see a repeat or variation on that idea. e.g. no keys or double chest numbers or double gold drops again (whatever you can do).

Other ideas:

- A tombs event of some kind - free entry for example.
- AB events - double kurzick/luxon faction for example.
- Dye drops were mentioned but perhaps it could be done with say every boss drops one of every dye and a 20% chance of black or silver as well.
- Increased key drops (I mentioned I love chest running :-).
- Amber/Jadeite drops from monsters (might ruin the economy but meh

Also I like some ideas put forward by others:

- Free entry to FOW/UW
- Favorless entry
- Rare materials drops (silk, steel, parchment etc) from mobs.
- Double ecto/shards
- Scavenger hunts (reasonably difficult) with a decent reward at the end.

That should last us for a few months worth at least. If you ever find yourself with a weekend with nothing to do, just have the chest running event again. I won't mind
