After the Mursaats attack on Maguuma,I have but one question....Gaile will there be more random in town attacks coming soon? Randomly I bet especially when you log on. Really if it is a foreshadowing to Guild Wars 2 pointing to random in town raids that would be really nice though Guild Wars it has a portal to prevent monsters to come in or out. Events like these will most likely keep all of us Guild Wars fans on our feet's until GW2 comes out. Instead of worrying too much about GW 2 worry about monsters coming in town while you are shopping and raiding the town for 10 Minutes or so. ^,^ Please give us a answer Gaile

In Town Attacks....Coming Soon Random Speical Events?

There were similar things during the beta's - IIRC Gwens rampaging and killing everyone was one of the "events". It's more sad that these things do not happen more often, but I suppose the devs time may be better spent elsewhere.
uberMithosCox
Yea but Its quite fun seeing the Merchants die or the Town Guards who say they are so tough face their fear's of a Little Girl using Fire Storm or etc to kill them ^,^

I will be against these town attacks until we're able to fight back.
uberMithosCox
If we fight back we should then consider the towns explorable areas than outposts no more lol. Hey its not a a even that happens for 10 hours you know but something fun to enjoy and really see what people say in local chat......they say a lot of crazy stuff when these things happen *cough* twice *cough*
Cacheelma
How "soon" do you expect it to happen? We've seen such thing since, when, WPE? And that's 2004.

Yea, really I dont mind how they do it but if WE do have the option to defend the town, they should have a main raid boss that if you kill and you get in the top 3 that did the most Damage on him/her you get a special item in your inventory. (From .Hack//Sign) To fell you at least accomplished something, they should also add a Town Defender Title you know or something like that. Also from what I found from others, people dont want this to happen often cause it will kill the new feel of the even really quick if they have it every week or so but every other month or 2 years is a little to much you know to wait for another to happen like this.

I agree, it should be a rare occassion. I don't think getting a reward would be appropriate, though. People should just participate for the benefit of having fun.

I doubt they'd make a system in which we could react and defend a town to monsters spawned inside of it they'd have to recode the towns and everything.. I think they will save any such feature for gw2

No, because it wasn't a "Random special event" it was put in place because of the Mursaat rally organised by Quintus Antonius of GWO.
They wouldn't go to the trouble of making 'random' events with no purpose. Whats the point?

Kunnavang and her minions killed everyone at the end of the factions beta
uberMithosCox
It was random cause no one knew it was going to happen, same with Gwen who knew besides A-net that it would of happened? Plus because of Guild Wars 2 two year wait A-Net has to come up with new features in the current games to keep us going until then so they will not lose players. Really adding a feature like this might let the time pass by a little you know than worrying about GW2.

A 40-page rally thread at GWO says it wasn't random.
Jakerius
As cool as it would be to have to assemble a team and defend LA against random waves of enemies at a really random time, it wouldn't happen. Each battle would have to be rolled into new builds, and I don't think people want to log out and log back in just so some people in a random town can fight against a dragon.
uberMithosCox
Not really lately A-net has been silk lately especially during the holiday events where you collected items and the event ends so u get rid of them and from out of no where without a build ant etc. NPC's appear out of no where to take the times you already threw away. Also I read through the GWO forums, I did not see posted where it says that "A-net get the Mursauts to raid our little rally sometime" It was a big gathering that A-Net wanted the GWO members to feel like they are being heard so they did an attack on the town.
Bale_Shadowscar
Yes, precicely. It wasn't a 'random' event, it was for the rally. And people are already trying to get ANet to do it again:

I think this would be a fun idea, it wouldn't be so bad to have this happen at random
Neo Nugget
so kinda of like the dragon festival, except where we didnt know it would happen, and we could stop the grasps or something(i can't remember lol i need the 2nd year dragon festival to happen already.)
uberMithosCox
ooooo dragon festival. The second after the Big Finally on the last event Level 50 Kunavangs fly from the sky and kill everyone in town....especially all the AFKers in District 1,2 and 3 who just stand around doing nothing ^,^

Maybe the monsters invading the towns can kill the spammers...

Anyways, I think this event was one of the coolest things they've done. I'd love to see more live events where the explorable areas change (ie: kryta is attacked by Mursaat, so that for 1 day the monsters outside are Mursaat.)
Or maybe towns could turn into explorable areas where everyone drives out monsters. Sounds like too much work to do all that though.. GW2 will cover that and then some..

I miss ths aspect from SWG. We would be sitting around in bestine and you'd see text go Across the screen like.."The air grows colder and you sense danger.." Then BANG, huge, and I mean HUGE spiders would hit the town, everyone would scramble, and either flee or fight, from out of no where jedi appeared to help (players) it was awesome.. Or the countless times Vader and his troops landed to take over a city etc.. I'm jonesing bad now for those days..
I hope they add something like that. I really like how LOTR has it, you can be attacked in town by npc's etc.. there is no fixed wall, it's more realistic, players can help save others.. it really is kewl.

I hope if they really do this (monsters spawning in towns), there will be adequate warning for the players in the town themselves. Something like one of the NPCs shouting "THEY ARE COMING! THEY ARE ALMOST HERE! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" ala windowed msg like the quest NPCs instead of having them spawning without warning.

Hmm, In town attacks, randomly happening, few times a day/week, might be nice, maybe if someway it could only happen in certain districts, that way the WTS spammers might stay out of the fun
ahh SWG... before Jump to lightspeed, the CU, and whatever the HELL you call what theyve done to it to make it 12 professions, jedi being one, and all of them identicle with no variety, (i quit when BH and Jedi got expertise)
Good times that, Publish 8, Imperial Crackdown, that was by far the most fun ever in any game
