I would like to see double rare drops in FoW and UW, possibly with both areas open to all servers regardless of favour. Also I am sure you already have this in the works but I really really want a pve preview weekend for nightfall

you guys are thinking inside the box! u are brining up the same stuff over and over again!!!!!!!!!!!!!


wut i would do is a town event like the dragon festival,halloween and winterous day!


carnival day-perhaps carnival day? all major towns have tents with minigames maybe buying snowcones and cotton candy from venders!

enemy day- or even a enmy day! in monestry there will be a row of enemies that u can attack in the town (they cant attack u first) and tehy attack u back like a duel and they attack ppl in ur party too. and otehr ppl can see how good or bad u are


Pet day-all rangers are allowed to have tehre pets brought in to town show off ur spider or boar even and maybe minipets in town


Factions as one day- all luxons and kurzick towns are nerutlized for a weekend and anyone can go into the excluded area that usulally only the allince that owns the town can get into!



To gaile gray and all staff members of the guildwars I hope you consider my ideas and please i beg of you if u make theese events possible my dieing wish is taht u say idea inspired from 'spirt of the sea' spelled like that

I have an idea, stop the stupid weekends for a while. Not all people can play during the week (like me) and when these events come around and i try to play, its lag here, lag there. im tired of trying to do things but i cant because i always ruberband back into places or lag so bad i cant move then end up haveing a death. Im tired of it. If these stupid things dont stop im going to give up on Guild Wars. OMG put your ideas together and make a week event. Atleast then you can get all the bugs put instead of having the mentallity of "oh, only a few people are having issues, and its only 3 days long, lets just not care." I give it 1 more week after this one, if there is another event, bye Guild Wars.

Yes ok i know this really sounds weird
But create an environment (TA perhaps) where instead of surviving one has to die to gain faction or XP.
This environment has lotta ingredients that will heal you instead, like healing stone spores (+10 health regeneration).
To make it even more fun one should be able to heal an opponent as well.

Maybe introduce some temporary skills like:
- Arrow of Healing (if it hits you donate 9...39 health to foe, if it misses you loose 9...39 health)
- Healing Chop (heal target for 15...27 health and all adjacent foes)
- Healing was Xerdes (ok me is selfish now, create lvl 1...7 spirit that bestowes health on foes)
- Well of Life Transfer (all who are standing in the well donate health to a nearby foe at a rate of 3...15 a second)
- Melf's Minute Meteors of Healing (send 1...12 meteors to a foe and adjacent foes that heal for 9...33 health)
- Empathic Health Burst (for 6...18 seconds foe has double imaginary max health)
- Mantis Opium (lead attack, foe can't loose any health while being drugged for 10...30 seconds)
- Gift of Death (kill one ally and recieve 55...11 health regeneration for 120...24 seconds)

So how to lose health then?
Well the Necro sacrifice skills can be used for that.
The battle will evolve into interupting the skills that will allow foes to loose health fast.

Hmm guess my post was deleted..it was not really flaming.... considering #287..

Anyways ---
We could have a movie director weekend.
There would be a theater where people can make their own cinematics.
After previewing the cinematic they have the option of keeping it (each account as x amount of total time for all thier cinematics).
If the player decides to save the cinematic it can be viewed by the public and will be submitted for a cinematic making contest. The winner(s) of the contest get thier cinematic in .wmv format and posted on the official site to be viewed.

End of Weekend Event: Have an emmy type aud. with Gaile presenting the winners etc.

Fun items: Director's chair, Gown, Tux, Swan Dress XP, Top hat, Pim...ermm. walking cane, Tiara, 'Emmy'(for the winners), (the 'and action!' board....can't remeber name), Purse, etc. etc.

Its just a fun, open idea...

For a weekend you get to take your other characters as henchmen out for a party setting there skills, attribute points ect. Of course the customized henchmen wouldn't get to maintain any of the drops that would fall for them or the gold portions, but doing TA/GvG/HoH/PvE with your own customized characters along with other peoples. Albiet still subject to the AI mind, At least temporarily the problem of lack of X (usually monks) can be solved and with a skill set you can trust.

Double the XP from skill capping

Party Forming in Heroes Ascent is disabled for the weekend.


Only way to play in HA is in a 8(or more) player randomized group.


Ooooh imagine the fun ^_^

Enter HA, click enter mission button, and get easy fame in fun completely random groups. ^_^
The reason is sugest disabling Party forming is so that, trough randomized groups, people may find new fun combinations of Classes, new types of teams.
Who knows, maybe some new fun types of group could be discovered via randomness.

Suport my idea guys. Quote me and agree. Wouldnt it be fun?? ^________^

1) Skills cost half weekend (500 instead of 1k... still cost a skill point)
2) Repeatable Missions Weekend (You get the mission reward every time you do it)
3) 4v4 HoH/GvG
4) 12v12 HoH/GvG
5) Randomized HoH/GvG (I like the above poster's idea)
6) 6v6 Random Team and Team Arenas

Would that not mean doubling the double and doubling on into infinity? O.O

Well anyway i like the double ecto, and shards idea. Or some kind of event like the dragon festival thing would be nice.

I haven't read through the 15 pages, so if this idea has been posted then that's my bad.

Prophecies Vs. Factions PVP Event

-Double XP gain for kill
-Where your character was made is where you fight (even if your Tyrian character has faction skills and vice versa)
-Introduce new titles for the event(example: Tyrian/Canthan -> fighter, defender, royal guard...etc.)
-Each kill gives X amount of points(or medallions etc.), each assisted kill gives X points(or medallions etc.), accumulate X amount of points(or medallions) to trade with a collector for items (items such as Canthan swords, Tyrian staffs, special event armour pieces/items)
-When nearing the end of the event, the side with most wins is awarded X amount of points(or medallions etc) or awarded something memorable.

Survivor weekend.

All experience earned during the wekend contributes towards the Survivor title regardless of how many deaths the character currently has. Experience towards the title stops accumulating when the character dies in an area, but begins again when they enter a new area.

No offense, but I don't want anything.

Frankly, I'm getting annoyed. All my guildies agree. Double Experience Scroll weekend? So... surivior title seekers are happy (no need for power leveling anymore with factions).

Really, it is obvious from the fact that this thread exists that you guys are really desperate for ideas. Granted some of these ideas above have been pretty good (I wouldn't leave the computer if UW/FoW wasn't linked to favor), but with too many of them they lose thier "wow" factor. It just becomes, oh another weekend event. Some of my guildies hadn't even bothered to read the note on the login screen when they logged in. They had stopped caring.

So, my idea is to reduce the number of these weekends and then only use the "best" ideas. Say, once a month. That way they are more unique and special and more exciting.

rather than golds... what about...

double (triple) PURPLE drops...with max stats...
in all areas? In mid-level areas (Lagoon, Zen Daijun, Kryta, the Jungle)?
(it would be great for people to get good mods and good weps early!)

tame-a-minotaur weekend! (Or other new/rare pets...)

Thanksgiving Turkey and Stuffing Weekend:
monsters drop turkey legs and stuffing. earn the "Glutton" title by consuming 100 plates of turkey and stuffing. Pumpkin pies available for dessert. Eating turkey and stuffing slows movement for x seconds, but adds energy.

I keep seeing this "double fun" every weeked, but does it really have to be something that you can "double"?

How about a weekend of just "FUN". for instance, you could include festival games at certain places or if you really want a "double" weekend then do something with the beers. maybe they last twice as long or something. I dont know.

I do know that:
more beer + festival games = FUN

(I'm sure there are others that would like to increase their favored/unfavored titles)

First thing I'd like to suggest is make all of the events available to Cantha AND Tyria. There have been a few that have been only in Cantha. Thats like punishing those that couldnt or chose not to buy Factions.
I would also like to suggest, for those trying to get the Skill Hunter title, Open Elite weekend - Able to cap from any boss no matter what prof. so we dont have keep going and changing our secondaries several times to cap all elites in say Sunjiang.

~add fame to other pvp areas...maybe team just
~add quests for explorable titles
~maybe another weekend of places to gain Ticket Titles
~hell...if 15 mill is max for exp add a title for experience
~double ecto/shard drop (that would really mess market up tho i imagine, but if anything get ppl to go to UW/FoW more)
~double pet experiance lol
~double monsters...that would be tricky but fun
~double AB faction
~add an item to a Specific area...for one weekend only...would really catch collectors minds
~reduce skill costs at skill traders to 1/2
~dye drops...thats a good one
~double HoH chest drops..tho i dont hoh it would really effect the number of people who do i think
~..have larger parties for high end missions...!
~nuetralization day between kurzick and luxons...can talk/fight for either or w/e

...ideas are limitless...i could go on for hours

I'd actually prefer that the weekend events be scrapped in favor of world expansions. I believe putting some time into expanding the Guild Wars world like the "Sorrow's Furnace" update would be a great amount of fun for the community. Besides, we explorers need something to do! =)

But, I shall submit an idea as well.

Perhaps a skill capturing weekend? Signets cost less, and maybe less exp to gain skill points?

I apologize in advance if this has already been suggested. I did not go through all the posts in this topic.

Special Collectors

A Weekend when special collectors are added with unique stuff, joke items, candy canes, beer, Green Items, other fun/cool/uncommon stuff.

Balthazzars Grace Weekend

Skills and Items cost half the regular amount of balthazzar faction to unlock.

8 Man Raid Weekend

Weekend where you form an 8 man party to go take down a really powerful boss, Like Glint/Kunu/Lich/Shiro, with massively deadly skills, you get some cool reward for beating it, like a special no armor level hat or a joke weapon or perhaps even money.

Wrath of the Dragons Weekend

This one is kinda out there, but you can gain access to some remote location where you have to fight Glint or Kunuuvang with like a 4 Man Party, access would be given depending on if you own Factions or Prophecies and an NPC would be put on each continent.

Blessings of the Gods Weekend

The underworld and fissure of woe have a double drop rate for rare items (not ectos and shards).

Ridiculous PvP Weekend

Never gonna happen, but for the weekend players could equip 2 elite skills on their skill bar for PvP Only

OKAY Im out of ideas -_-

It seems like nearly every idea that people have submitted is based on their want of personal gain, be it titles, faction, exp or drops. These event should be fun and you might get a reward if you participate.

All of those are decently good ideas but you left one out that is the most annoying that would prove great for a weekend...One weekend of disabled trade and WTS juts a single weekend where you can actuall enjoy standing ina town without seeing Mobs of spam everywhere might even balance out the economy a little.

Reading through these I noticed someone suggest that instead of creating these weekend events you guys focus some time and energy on developing new explorable areas. Personally I think that is the best suggestion yet. One thing that comes immediatly to mind is this, Grenth has UW, Balthazar has FoW, but Dwayna, Lyssa and Melandru, while all represented in ToA, have no realms.

i'd like to have a weekend that every hour outposts are being attacked by enemy mobs, and every1 in the outpost has to defend the city, would be soo much fun
