- 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 PVP arena where it's every man/woman for himself/herself
- Special event arenas revisited.... bring back dodgeball and the snowball fight arenas

I kinda like all of them, except the double ecto and shard event, thats stupid imo.

And the free UW / FOW Idea is cool, kinda like the Urgoz / Deep weekend.

+ that octoberfest idea thing sounds awesome too. :P

What this threads starting to get to though is the 'MAKE ME RLY RICH WEEKEND LOL PLZ.'

I mean yeah a fun weekend is cool, but a crash the econamy weekend is pretty stupid.

Tyria/Cantha crossover

It would need something else for the people with both Factions and Prophecies but...

All Factions-only accounts temporarily are given access to Tyria

All Prophecies-only accounts temporarily are given access to Cantha

Maybe all accounts with both Factions and Prophecies get a beta weekend for the next chapter. Then if someone was considering buying Factions/Prophecies they probably would hurry and buy it

More money for ArenaNet (people who buy Prophecies/Factions for access to beta or because they liked playing on Tyria/Cantha during the event), more fun for players who get to play in Tyria/Cantha for the first time or get to play in a coming chapter

PVE:

Whatever the event genre is, let it be doable with henchman, and not force grouping with real players. This way players are not left out based on the lack of , or preference of fotw builds. (Tomb of the primevel kings springs to mind).

Make a friend / join a random group weekend event

Just for the weekend have all of the Area Net staff play Guild Wars with the guild wars community under unknown names. You could use standard character builds which would act like noob’s.

The staff could join groups randomly and help with a quests and missions. As you play you can talk to us and get feedback 1st hand on concerns, problems, or bugs. After completion of the quest or mission the Area staff member could send a message to the team saying (Thanks for playing with the Area net team member “Special sign only creatable by A-net” for verification) as a reward you will receive a special item. The member would then trade with the players of the team a present that contains a random rare item, dyes, crafting materials, or something special mini pet??.

The ultimate goal of this event would be working together and helping other people out, and making friends. If the A-net players notice bad sportsmanship or conduct then the reward will not be given to that player, and if really bad conduct is observed then that person can get banned. Rage quitters will lose out.

an event were fissure of woe and underworld cost no money

no_dammagE · Sep 08, 2006, 05:46 PM // 17:46

Access to Kurzick and Luxon instances without a need for a taxi over a weekend. To make it fun for everyone, maybe access to them from Tyria via Lion, too.

Might introduce those instances to factions newbies and factions to Prophecies-only people.

Metal Hammer Gk · Sep 08, 2006, 06:10 PM // 18:10

random pvp in ha would be fine^^
i would also like a double green drops weekend or double ectos or shards in uw.
or even rarer drops from all chests in uw or fow

How about an event that isn't just a double (insert reward) gimmick? Especially since you're starting to run out of meaningful rewards. Honestly, the only people that care about the double exp scrolls are the powerlevelers. The scrolls just aren't efficient in normal PvE play, even with double duration. The only thing this event will accomplish is lowering the price of rare scrolls, because people will be selling them en masse.

I think everyone liked the double fame weekend, because it made a rare commodity much more accessible, both by doubling the rate at which it was gained, as well as by lowering party size to make it easier for non-ranked players to find groups. However, the end result of this is that lower ranks are even more worthless now than they already were. Pretty much anyone who put in any time during the weekend has at least r3 now, so anyone who earned their rank the hard way is out of luck, and ranks all the way up to r6+ are bordering on laughable for the same reason. If one of the end goals of the event was to invite more people into HA, its success lasted only for the weekend.

Of course, the problem with not offering double rewards is that players won't care about your event otherwise. If they can't get more gold, more faction, more fame, etc. the event just isn't worth their time ... and I think that's kind of depressing.

I'd like to see another Nightfall PvP weekend. We didn't really get enough time to screw around with the new classes, and I think it's the only kind of event that wouldn't require double rewards to grab player interest.

>>>NO IWAY or VIM WEEKEND<<<
but if you ask me, I say we get rid of all the iwayers and vimers for good

...Wishful thinking xD

EPO Bot · Sep 08, 2006, 06:28 PM // 18:28

During one weekend, everyone can use Kilroy Stonekin's shout

Maddinusw · Sep 08, 2006, 06:42 PM // 18:42

My Idea:

An HoH 1on1 Event.

Players have to make a PvP Character which is desined by random.
That means. Random primary class: Warrior or Assasin
Random secondary class: One of the other 6 classes
When the Character is desined every player has some minutes to set his attributes, set his skills and to put runes on his armor.

After this "some" minutes the players gets teleported in the first HoH map and tries to kill his enemy, of cause some of the maps can't be played in 1on1, those have to be taken out by ArenaNet.

kh1ndjal · Sep 08, 2006, 06:45 PM // 18:45

3v3 or 2v2 random arenas anyone?

monsters instead of henches? Little Thorn replaced by, say, grasp of darkness?

secondary professions primary attribute instead of primary (with primary profession runes, things might get interesting)

random arenas get really random--> play as a monster

i cant think of anything else now

**cosyfiep** · Sep 08, 2006, 07:05 PM // 19:05

octoberfest is a good idea---need more ale for my title,
double rare drops I really like (especially monstrous fangs--hint hint)
let us all in the FOW/UW is a great idea,
double xp for killing bosses is ok,
char or avacari henchmen....or jade bow henchies......so monster henchies is sounding like fun! (murasat henchmen....dont get to use their special powers)
double xp for scrolls--why?
extra dye drops, yes I need more dye!
cross-over is also very appealing.....

as I am not a pvp-er....the double fame weekend netted me 0 since double of zero is still zero. yawn, but I understand the need to keep as many people happy as possible-----

Wotan1982 · Sep 08, 2006, 07:23 PM // 19:23

Hi

Specially a monster which in the play specially a Item for different classes droppt. A LVL thought 40 monsters of. One can defeat the monster if one a Qust solved. Would have to be attainable for all players.

MFG

Double complaining weekend! shut the servers down for a weekend and watch ppl complaining about it, lots of FUN!

but really, double party size in random arena would be cool

hmm.. does it have to be a double x idea? if not a barber weekend can be awsome, when u let us change our chars hair style

(maybe one time change for each char at weekend)

swamp head · Sep 08, 2006, 07:47 PM // 19:47

mabey an idea is a new PvE challange.. where luxon and kurzick fight 2getor to kill the aflicted, where 2 teams of 4 fight 2getor (4 luxon 4 kurzick) vs loads of incoming aflicted. and you gain a small pirze if you kill all the aflicted or maby both kurzick and luxon factions. ^^

here's one thing i just thought about: for one weekend, if you clear out everything in both the underworld AND fissure of woe, you can get a set of fow armor for one of your characters. may or may not be tradeable (as in collectors items, like the medals.) the benefit of not trading it would mean that you acually did it. if you would be able to trade it, it would probably mean that you would be significantly richer. it would help even out the distrobution of wealth among the players

dndhatcher · Sep 08, 2006, 08:17 PM // 20:17

How bout a build your perfect weapon weekend - where the drops could be more catered to your character so that you could farm for the mods you are wanting for your "perfect weapon". That way I would not have to try to sell mods for a sword in order to get my mods for my ranger, etc.
