Ideas for Mini-Events
illuminatus
How about this....make a pvp arena access for 4v4 and 8v8....with people only being able to use elite skills!!! Let them choose 1 elite from each profession, and let them come up with weird builds for a pvp weekend.We are talking about a FUN weekend right? No more rewards and quadruple drops.Maybe this way, people will find a use for those elites that are simply gathering dust...

(i) Weekend of clumsiness: Players drop their weapons when health drops below 33% (to be picked up again). Warriors have a 10-20% chance of chopping themselves. Casters have a 5-15% chance of hitting a random team members, monks of healing the enemy.
(ii) Day of the dead: You get a morale boost for dying in PvP.
(iii) Psychedelic Furnace: a colourful event in the furnace (that is accessible via NPC in Cantha). Clowns, pacmen, blobs and whacky pink little bunnies have invaded the furnace that suddenly has weird LSD-style opticals. Boss looks like Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors.
(iv) Easter event (should IMHO be reserved for next year) with bunny-ears as award.

Some REALISTIC ideas:
1. Mission weekend:
-Skill points and xp rewards are increased for completing missions and bonuses, perhaps double xp for every kill as well inside a mission only.
-An item similar to the balthazar flame in the PvP weekend, which would be aquired after completing a mission. Several of them could be exchanged for a usefull item (earlier missions would give less than the later ones).
2. GvG weekend:
-Double the bonus earned for beating a high ranked guild
-Increase or decrease the party size for GvG.
3. Tombs of the Kings weekend:
- Double green drops at the end of the tombs
- Double xp while in the tombs

Monsters' heads are twice (three times?) the normal size, the hitboxes also expand for PVP.

I got one, its called "Stop making pointless weekend events and get on with releasing new content and addressing current balance issues weekend"

I would like to have a mini Event in Tyria, because all the Events are in Cantha and the People they have only Prophecies can't play. Or you make an Event where all People can play like Underworld und Fissure of Woe. More Ectos/Shards or more golden Chest etc.

City Defense Weekend
Premise:
Some magical ritual has caused the monsters in the locale to go crazy and attack the city / town / village you're in. Successfully defending a "wave" of attackers will give you a "champion point". Get enough points and you'll become "Champion of Beetleton" or whatever city you've been defending. Get enough points for one of the contenents and become "Champion of Cantha" or "Champion of Tyria". You'd also get some nifty but useless item that you could use to further clog your inventory.
Mechanics:
Teams are ad-hoc and formed randomly. Joining in to fight a "wave" would use the same mechanism that you use to enter Random Arenas. This would be very similar to the Defend North Kryta Quest that everyone seems to love to play.

Lions arch Arena event:
since lions arch is the port in tyria, have the elonians come to lions [ like the luxons kurzicks did] so they can kinda tell their story. add a few quests, some rewards. Same could be added to kaineng docks too.

a double-faction weekend in Alliance Battles would be awesome, but even better would be a weekend where everyone could go to UW and FoW with double drops, and you didnt have to have favor. Woohoo!

no res in RA/TA might be interesting and maybe even teach people the usefullness of a good rez.

Oooh, just got another idea!
Let's make a TRIPLE fun event, with three ways to triple your fun!
- Each town will have 3 scroll traders standing side by side
- Scrolls will drop 3 times as often (mostly replacing useful greens)
- All scrolls have 3x their normal effect
zomg!
EDIT: Of course, this event will break courtyard so the ghosts are unable to cap the altar and the quest "The Jade Quarry (Luxon) until patched twice. After the patches, the ghost will still be unable to cap.

I was thinking. I liked how you got "real" rewards for doing missions in Prophecies, such as weapons, skills and such. Why not do an event where you can get some cool NEW stuff for a weekend. EXAMPLE: You do Defend Droknars Forge mission (a 20,000 exp mission btw), and you get a sweet prize for it; Such as "White Mantle" armor for warriors, or something like that. I think making limited edition prizes or weapons that would NEVER reoccur again would be totally sweet. Introduce NEW stuff GW, Please!

I haven't had time to read through all this, so perhaps this has been suggested:
an ale drop weekend, where say 20% of the whites that would drop would instead be an ale, or perhaps credits based upon the area you are going through, such as monastery credits while in Shing Jea, equipment requisitions while in Kurz territory, Luxon totems, etc.
actually make it both: ale/credit drop weekend
I'll add this: these event weekends are good to have because Factions is SERIOUSLY lacking in content, and this is a way to keep interest until Nightfall comes out

small but crazy graphic changes:
clown weekend! - every1 has a big colourful afro, a red nose and big feet for the weekend :P
bright green buildings - self explanitory really, the brick colours change to various shades of green :P
big head week - also self explanitory,not too origional but big heads are always fun :P
another one could be multiple pets - you can tame up to 3 pets at once, at the end of the weekend 2 go (you get to choose which to keep)

GoldRush Weekend if not douple Gold Drops and Green Drop from boss from Ascalon to House of Zuhetlzer and Cavalon.
Malice Black
collect X amount of tokens (non-tradeable) and get a free set of 15k armor or customized item (depending on prof of char)
simple task as such..monster drops token as a random drop just like a gold drop.
(main reason why i choose armor as the prize is because it is the most essential piece of kit needed to play GW and the fact everyone would love to own atleast 1 set)

what about adding skills you can only get while drunk during the weekend including
VOMIT- all foes in the area are poisoned for 7 seconds
HIT ON-target ally's skills recharge and cast 25% faster and target ally gains 4 health regen for 15 seconds
PASSOUT-ressurect target ally but become blinded for 15 seconds
WHERE ARE MY PANTS-for 10 seconds you lose 20 armor on your pants but gain 30 armor on your helm, tunic, gloves and boots
I'M THE KING OF THE WORLD(shout)- for 10 seconds you and all nearby allies gain 10 armor and move 25% faster
WALK OF SHAME- for 15 seconds you move 25% slower but gain 30 armor
DRUNKEN PUNCH- the next time you attack with physical damage you have a 50% chance to miss but if your attack hits it strikes for +60 damage and 20 armor penatration
I LOVE YOU, MAN- target ally gains +3 health regen and +1 energy regeneration for 10 seconds

ive always wanted an event where you can use skills inside of towns...i dont know why but it would be very entertaining

Well I can't think of any original new ideas but I can definitely agree with the double dye drops. I love hording my dyes. >
As for old ideas, double faction weekend! Please! I loved it.
Double exp wouldn't be a bad idea either. Same with double rare materials.
Octoberfest sounds awesome. Could have a new RA like we did at Christmas as suggested above.

i like the whole octoberfest idea... and dye drops sound cool. but one of my favorite things was the medalions for winning in HA. should make a weekend for the flames of balthazar to come back and medalions.

Down-to-Earth weekend: Everyone would be given a farmer hat (similar to the ones used by Suun and the local Peasants in Cantha) and a shovel and a patch of land in the Shing Jea Island/Ascalon/Kryta. After planting a few given seeds like in the "Cash Crops" quests, for a few waves at a time, people would have to try and defend their patch of dirt from raiding Crimson skull parties/Charr/Skale etc., and the waves would increase in size by the time went on (bigger waves on sunday if the event started on friday for instance) eventually, the field would produce valuable fruit and vegetables according to the amount of time the player has spent protecting it and not letting the Crimson Skull trample it. These products could then be sold to the merchants, used to make alcohol or food, or traded to other players.
Of course the farmer hat could be kept just like the jule and pumpkin etc. hats

Doublemint gum weekend?
Double the bosses (that drop green) or just double the bosses globally.
Double your pleasure, double your fun, double the things that make you run.
Or how bout a new area, like an island, that is nothing but bosses. And say, to get there, you have to find a certain treasure, like a random chest that drops a token granting passage to the island.

one which would last as quite a few weekends would be:
during these weekends monsters drop some kind of token or something and you can go to an NPC and buy various fun items/bonuses.
Eg.
-1 token for the really pointless but fun stuff like hats and other clothes
-10 tokens for items which when activated give bonuses such as good luck(better drops from the next 50 monsters you kill)
-50 tokens for a mini pet

Everythings spinning: become dazed for 15 seconds but enemies adjancent to you take 30 damage every 3 seconds and get knocked down
Stop shouting: lose half of your health for 10 seconds all enemies in the area cant use spells.

You get Beer Drops instead of monster pelts. Double your Drunkard Title etc.. Instead of being drunk every 1 minute you get it twice as fast!
that would be sweet

In the area between Lonar`s Paass and Snake Dance to position a Boss who drop a special item or a box for this item. But the key for this box you can get only by a new collector, who stand never on the same place. So you must search for him. He shall only exchange for same item the key (no money).
The idea based on the mind to make more kown this area.

PROJECTILE VOMIT- (look of a green lightning orb) send out a projectile vomit that if it it strikes for 150 damage
BEER GOGGLES-For ten seconds all foes in the area gain +10 armor against elemental damage but lose 20 armor against physical damage
and also what about a weekend where if you kill a monster who is a minipet it may drop.
every minipet has a boss or monster you have to fight sometime

Hi...
Been thinking bout this for a while and can think of two events I'd like to see.
Firstly make certain Gold chests drop upgrades rather than items. In honesty most people farm items because the want the upgrades and it can be more than a little frustrating to find that perfect +30hlth mod only to have it salvage into 5 wood (guess most have been there)
I think this would have a dual impact as it would give some of the less experienced player a chance at a perfect mod and also flood the market with mods and push the seriously over infalted prices down to a more affordable level for Mr/Mrs Average.
Secondly I think a new elite mission is way overdue...of course I have no doubt nighfall will bring its own versions but there are still a number of Avatars in TOA currently serving no purpose to the kneeling faithful. Far be it for the game designers to tempt the wrath of these as yet under revered Dieties.
Melandru with a forest area with lots of anti ranger critters would be good..can just see trees firing off barrage at would be treasure seekers for a weekend....spoken to a lot of peeps and they all agree the elite missions are the real test of a players mettle and, as you can tell by the attendance these areas have, they are greatly used and greatly liked......
