Ideas for Mini-Events

- may be a week end where u can cap a mini pet
- teach it skills to fight
- and battle other mini pets in pvp
- the mini pet need to skill cap too =D

The Olympics Weekend..

First Round: Marathon - A race from Ascalon City To Sanctum Cay, with stops in each major outpost. A timer can be on screen so people can submit screens of themselves and their best times. 50g to enter the race The winner takes all.
Second Round: Test Of Strength - You have to attack one of the suits of straw armour that are on the Battle Isles to find out who can hit the hardest in melee
Third round: Rangers Shooting Range - Make the ranger attack a first person mode and you've got to hit targets in the field... This might be asking a much bit though.

These ideas haven't been thought through entirely but you get the gist of it.

I don't want ANet to waste a single minute of work on content that has a very limited lifetime. If there 's one thing I don't needs it's yet another useless piece of gimmick headgear. I'd much rather see ANet put the work into future campaigns content, which is permanent. Spend the time and work to fix the things that really matter. Like "trade improvements", for example, to stop the damn trade spam, finally, long overdue.

Gaile explicitely asked for "smaller events". Just change a few game parameters on the server, leave it like that for a weekend, and put it back to default. A minimum of work for some extra fun.

"Land of the Giants" or "Honey, I shrunk the Heroes!" for pure silly factor. Everything becomes either super huge or super small, or maybe super wide and super thing... based off which special item you use Dunno how hard that would be to implement.

Yes I realised that after I posted. Hence maybe something a little more in depth that could be worked on every now and then. It wouldn't be every other weekend event but when it does arrive it's more than just "double your stats"

Also, I was under the impression there were 3 teams at Anet. One for each alternating chapter and one team for new content/events and such? What happened, that last team been removed?

Ale drop weekend, that would be nice imo for the title and would help the poor guys.
I also would like to see a more Dye drop weekend.

may be add some fun drops
- like a jack in the box
- a exploding present
- a 1 shot hand gun
- a bear trap u can set once
- hand puppet

for either pvp fun or general use

We Lub farmers Event!

If there is any truth in the anti farm code thread. Make a Weekend where all the flags are removed for all the Acc.
+ the double Green droprates maybe and a higher chance to find Gold drops.
Or maybe even Remove Purple drops for the whole weekend.

SiteNote: Would be awesome fix, if staffs wands and stuff would have good mods that suit together. Not Requ 398 healing prayers and reduces skill recharge for firemagic + reduces cast time for blood magic on 1 staff... .




The Reconfigure your Armor Event:

For one Weekend you can go to an Armor changer that allows you to change the Bonus on your armor how you would like them!
I hate to have a Fissure armor that i crafted before Factions was released and wasn t able to choose the +Health mod.




Gladiators Event:

Kinda suggested such event long time ago.
1 Weekend you can bring more then 1 Elite skill to Random Arena and a Maximum of 3 or so.
Coulda be fun, coulda be total crap . The weekend would show.

not sure if gaile pays attention to this thread anymore.. but i was thinking about having one item drop from any monster anywhere in either tyra or cantha..

these items would have only a set number to drop.. like 1000 or so.. and you can only farm 1 then your char no longer gets a drop assigned to him...

but instead of saying where they drop.. you could make up riddles and put them in the scribe on your webpage..

these items could have skins that are completly uniqe.. and they could be called "legendary items"

and with only one riddle/weapon per week you would have a ton of time to make a new one before the next week...

Not only would these items stimulate the economy because unlike crystalines and dwarvens that are pretty much only found in perfect rare condition chests in ha..

These items anyone could go and farm for... and even the casual gamer could get in on one of the weeks farming.. and hard core gamers could try to get them all...

lets say there is a riddle that leads to the kryta mission and one of the bosses in it.. well when people finally figure out the riddles.. they can go and hunt for the item.

hope you like it.. this is the only idea i can come up with that dosent make the game into a "give you everything you want easy" game

Drunken Suicidal Maniac Weekend:

Double the efforts of drinking alcoholic content and making special weekend only beverages. (Octoberfest Style)

Adding New Titles for Deaths:

5 Tiers:

Tier 1: Attempted Suicider - 500 Deaths
Tier 2: Suicidal - 1,000 Deaths
Tier 3: Suicidal Maniac - 2,000 Deaths
Tier 4: Walking Corpse - 5,000 Deaths
Tier 5: Undead - 10,000 Deaths (Max-level)

I've thought of some commemorative Octoberfest Hat too to add to the ceremony, where Grenth could hand out hats for guys and Dwayna hats for girls.

If you're just looking for a small weekend, I suggest adding collector's of unused items (Such as Drops in FoW, UW) their prizes should be alcoholic beverages.

Or add a special game, 6 vs 6 Dodgeball basically, but with a scores chart, awarding the top players and the worst players for their efforts with a Title:

Avenger Title Track

Avenger: 100 Kills
Murderer: 500 Kills
Assassin: 1,500 Kills
? ? ? - Future Events?

Or a Champion Title Track Event, so 1 GvG would double the Points and Battles from 1,100 Rating Vs 1,100 Rating would count.

Or a Double-Faction Weekend, With the Chance of Playing 16 Vs 16 in Alliance Battles and being able to unlock some Nightfall Skills.

Or making a Special weekend for people getting their Identification Title Track and Chest Hunter title track, by doubling the amount of opened chests or Adding a 25% Chance to have 2 items to come out of a Chest.

A weekend where quest rewards could have 1 random Dye as a special prize, except for the repeatable ones, and harder quest 2 random Dyes.

Also Running Contests, With Special Slowing Skills on Tracks, Special Running Skills so the best Players win Most matches.

- Marathon Man Title Track

50 Matches Won - Rusher
100 Matches Won - Runner
250 Matches Won - Speedfreak
500 Matches Won - Marathon Man (Max-level)

Also Adding Cookies for some sort of reward, it's always the same, someone says, LF Boon Prot For GvG, We Have Cookies, and once you arrive, they don't, so I really really REALLY suggest cookies, with the possibility of adding some effects, such as speed boosts, dp removal, extra health, healing item, etc etc.

Having a Town with Arenas, where one can play the 'roll-dice' games & the 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' Games, to proceed on their Lucky Title Track, +3 When Won +2 When Draw -2 When Lost - Teams of course Randomly Made.

That's about it for my ideas, If anyone has something to say, quote this & tell me what you think about these

Cheers,

Local Nut, Avalon

I can agree with adding more titles:
e.G Deaths,
Killings,
online time,
killed bosses,
one if you have all materials in your storage, ...

Events:
- double ecto and shard drops
- double green drops

- add aucion house ^^ (never ending event!!!)

Open Alpha Servers Event:

Instead of a "Nightfall Weekend Event".
Opened Alpha Servers for everyone!
Best Close down all PVE parts on em to get PVP working. UAX'ed for the Weekend ofc.. .

Maybe would be a nice to see how it would be with permanent open alpha servers... Best chance tbh.

ascended pre-sear weekend: make a special version of pre-sear ascalon accessible for lvl20 characters (separate from the regular pre-sear). just add 20 to the monster level....

historic guild wars weekend: fire up some server instances of the e34e version (i miss kyhlo)

1) Triple Faction Forever! If not, make it a Weekend. Forget Double, let's go further. Add Flames of Balthazar, make allowances in trading Faction for Gold, too.
2) Double Experience Weekend. Double the effect of Scrolls, the amount of Experience gained for kills, and the like.
3) 6 Man Heroes Ascent, Double Fame - preferably forever, but another weekend would work.
4) Fun Ladder Weekend! Give a prize out to the winner - something small, so not a Gold cape, but worth it. Preferably let people test out any changes that may be coming in the game, so it's kind of like a BWE except without actually finding bugs (hopefully). Double the Faction gained.
5) Nightfall Test Weekend(s). Let people play around with the new classes. Again, double Faction, Flames of Balthazar, and Faction transferable into Gold would be nice.
6) Better Chest Rewards - across all of Guild Wars. Make all Chests have a higher chance of wielding Gold for a weekend. Including Tyria, please.
7) Arena Weekend. Double Faction, Flames of Balthazar, Gold for Faction, and extra Gladiator Points.

Ideally I'd like to see most of these being permanent changes, but I know that's unlikely

i like an event than the faction rewards in 12 vs 12 (alliance battles) are doubled

My idea: During weekend can equip 2 elite skills (for pvp and pve)

Bunnies what flee and drop eggs. Then small chance that they drop valuable Gold Egg and collector gives 1K from each gold egg and 100 gold from other eggs. Possibly to eg towns.

I only recall a dev saying that they just recently established a task force for mini events. But I guess that is a VERY small team, with only a handful of people. Their main job isn't to create new content, only to come up with ideas and check if they are feasible, i.e. it has to be made sure that no extensive abuse of a mini event is possible.

I would like:
-some sort of weekend in which you would have groups of 6 in HA instead of 8, maybe something with double fame as well.
-a HA double fun weekend with smaller groups and bigger fame awards.

maybe something similar for GvG lol not sure if that wouldn't mess up the ladder entirely

/unsign on any ideas for 12v12 or 16v16 pvp since it would be totally chaotic, allow for rediculous spike builds, and for PUG's it would go from improbable to impossible to find a group.

1. I would like to see more done centered around getting new people playing HA. There are alot of PvE people that just dont get a chance to play HA, but might have always wanted to try it.

Disable the Rank emotes and give everyone a chance. The way it is set up now it is an elitist club and shuns the player that might not have the right connections or emote to learn HA and play there.

2. Choose your dance emote weekend, my warrior has always wanted to dance like napolean dynamite.

3. Switch your main profession weekend, make it so a player can switch main professions and have the same level of armor, runes etc...that they do on there character right now.

Been a Guild Wars fan since beta, keep up the great work everyone.

The Am Fah have stolen Glint's eggs, find them across Tyria and Cantha, the eggs are hidden or in the possesion of Am Fah Thieves randomly scattered across all the maps. The eggs are valuable so each one must decide if their own greed can be defeated. Glint will reward those who return all her eggs but others will pay greatly for each one.

Rewards can be awarded by collectors in a randomly way being some of them rare like the cap signet:
1k each
1 signet of capture
ecto or obsidian
black dye
keys
beers

Glint's final reward it's up for the designers.

Glint's minipet
Glint's Signet: For X seconds +1 to all your secondary atributes, not usable in pvp.
Glint's Vision: For x seconds temporaily increase sight area for the character, a lot useful for explorers.
Glint's Claw: special item
....

Rainbow weekend!

100-300% dye drop increase?

i like the beerfest idea too

The Make Rurik Not Die Weekend

Because plot twists and pve are fun.

This sounds awesome! Great idea! But the only problem will be monks as they will be the last ones alive hah. Maybe allow only a predetermined set of skills, or just disable any defensive skills in the game. Lol. Madness.

Suggestions For Mini W/E Events

- Random Join Group requirement in HA, 6v6, Double Fame (Preventing cookie cutter builds, and will get more ppl interested)

- Increase % rate drop for Green Weapons or Dye

- Mini Octoberfest Event - Could introduce Beer Stien, doubling drunk title and Sausage DP removal, similar to Candy Canes for certain missions completed.

- Open up access for Luxon and Kurzick areas, to permit toons from opposite faction alliances to go exploring or get armour

- Permit mini Pets to assist in battle, small amount of damage only.

- 2v2 in TA

- 1v1 in RA

- Sex change for the weekend, ability to change your character from male or female

- fame-reset-event
- dodgeball-arena with different modes
- fame-reset-event
- doubled duration of alcohol
- fame-reset-event
- gold instead of fame at ha
- fame-reset-event
- gold instead of factions
- fame-reset-event
- ford espenwood and co. available for fixed teams (no more random)
- fame-reset-event

Drunken weekend:
Beer drops from every 1/5 death, (including players in pvp arenas)
Beers lasts double as long.
More and strange forms of alcohols and effects therefrom.

Monter Level Weekend:
All non-story creatures now have 2x/4x drops and 2x/4x the level, imagine killing a lvl 62 Glint.

Speed weekend:
Everything is 2x the speed, 2x faster casting times, 2x recharge and 2x movement speed.

Damage type weekend:
Each hour has a new damage type, that deals 2.5x damage.
Types are: Fire, Earth, Water, Cold, Piercing, Slashing, Blunt, Holy/light, Shadow, Chaos.

PVE: double green drop rate
double gold drop rate
double experience
double skillpoints (i need this badly, used all my 216)
make a weekend event green farm so new greens will only be there for a weekend and wont be complete unvaluable (as totem axe which is now 5k)
double dye drops
double rare rune drop
nightfall pve prewiev


PVP:douoble fame
double faction
double gladiator points
double champion points
a new 6 man arena
nightfall pvp preview


EDIT: a event could be inventing a new boss in icedome which was lvl 50 and kinda impossible to kill

Any PvE related stuff that would help or be fun for building up characters (pre lvl 20) for BOTH Prophecies and Factions.

truth itself is good idea




Drunken Joe's weekend:
Beer drops from every Mob (5-10% chance)
Beers lasts double as long !!!!!!!!
U can mix beer Like colors!!!! i could get better or worse^^



Speed weekend:
Everything is 2x the speed, 2x faster casting times, 2x recharge and 2x movement speed.

Undead Invasion Weekend!!!

-All Monsters are Undead
-And u can Trade Bones for Stuff
-Double time Of enchant and stance

the octoberfest idea sounds awesome

make monsters drop ale, add some collectors that exchange other drops for ale (and maybe other stuff, like lederhosen), make the ale effect last twice as long, and add quests that give large amounts of ale ("save the bradwurst" sounds like a cool quest )

Insane idea but in my humble opininion too much work for just a mini event.

plz NO doublefameevent anymore, HA was even more boring after the first 2h (vimway anyone?...)

DoubleDyedrop or Chance for Ale Drop would be great indeed

A Nostalgia Weekend, where all Skills, all Areas, all Mobs, all Arenas are like the Day of the Realese of Guild Wars Prophecies.

Yes, this would be fun

Dialya

International Cooperation Weekend

Where UW/FoW are open to anyone in the international districts, but only for groups who have max. 2 Members from the same Continent/Area ( 2x EU, 2x US, 2x Japan, 2x Korea ) or so.

International Competition Weekend

Double Faction in RA/TA International Districts

First of all I want to say: thank you for events. Actually.. next week event is not funny for me but the other was.
ideas
- double fame, 6v6 HA (please do it again - maybe not with double fame but only 6v6)
- double chance of getting a green looks fine
- double ecto or obsidian drop rate but be carefull - this can corrupt game economy
- you can add some rewards for only PVP players (fame of balthazar was great) or something like this.. maybe a special material which can be traded by collector for special items / weapons etc.

I really miss some rewards for PVP players.. they have rank, emote or titles.. but nothing else.. My idea is PVP collector in HA and there can be traded special material for weapons, or armor?? For example you can add a special chest for each HA map where this material can drop after battle of course and only for winners. But this is not event idea

Trader reset weekend. An intense half an hour of frenzied looting. Special prize to the person getting the last item. Never mind the ecomomy.

I'm all in for free beer too and double black dye drops (if someone actually manages to notice this)

I'd like to see a beer-festival too

Make the beer-price cheaper for a weekend or make the duration count double.
To make it more interesting in PvE enemies should drop items that you can change for alcoholic drinks in a city. Like the Orb with the Dragon Festival.

In compbination they could also do the Ring event again. Drinking and Gambling

And everybody will end up broke again after the weekend

No favour for FoW sounds good idea. That's not much use for the EU though ;p

Beer festival sounds good also. Beers dropping etc. Maybe even a beer hat to wear

How about: Complete X number of quests spread throughout the game/games, and upon completion of all, you get X weapon of your choice. (15^50 collectors "blue" but choose the skin from list)

I'de like to see ppl be able to obtain that uber 15^50 or +5 energy weapon skin they always wanted but could never afford. Drawback? The color is not gold/green but make it blue like collectors possibly.

Thoughts?

Good thing i was reading thru this, I was going to post that...

Really we should have the option to show/hide our armor just like we can with the masks and capes. It woudl be fun doing FA in the buff.

Also I like the Octoberfest idea.

Or how about 2x the jiggly on the female Ele's dance???
