This weekend, your chances of getting a dye drop will triple across Tyria, Cantha, and Elona. The bonus begins at Noon Pacific (-7GMT) on Friday June 15th and runs through 11:59 PM Pacific on Sunday, June 17th.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

At least it isn't as bad as the Lucky Weekend.....perhaps prices of Dyes will drop?

It won't affect 90% of the population, since Dye previews lowered prices by a landslide and most players don't redye often (as told by the shamefully large amount of black dyed armors).

This may qualify for the most non-event weekend they've had thus far.

Here's a weekend event for those who don't like this one -

This weekend, players will enjoy the opportunity to get off their asses, and go the hell outside! Sunshine, exercise , human interaction, and much more await those brave enough to venture from their meager rooms, and out into the world. Players may find themselves in an actual face to face conversation, or possibly spending their time constructively. Some players may even improve themselves slightly!

Hope to see you there!

And its sub-par events like this one that make the good events good.

Sounds like a great excuse to go work on my tan.

If you're involved in that sort of thing, an addiction to Guild Wars is the least of your problems.

ROFL, I was thinking the exact same thing when I read it.

Hey, Nuclear, I have to ask....Is your favorite character a Necromancer?

Guess when you offend GW nerds they have to scan your posts for typos to make themselves feel better lol. Seriously though, if your week is so dull that you look foward to the weekend events as the highpoint of your week, you need a life, badly. Get outside, much better than any weekend event...

It's just a weekend event dude...most of us get plenty of human interaction. Not needed in this thread.

While it's nothing great, this should be a nice little event. If nothing else, it might give me reason to go back to pre and dye farm just for kicks, lol.

According to Guild Wiki, the Dragon Festival was around this time last year, well June 30th anyway


Is there going to be one this year? There hasn't been anything on the main site to suggest it's coming up...

If only this event can come with 3x chance of getting a white/black dye when you do get a dye...

Heh well, I'm on my way to the gym instead of playing GW, does that count?

I don't necessarily plan on farming for dyes, but it'll be neat to get some while playing. See, that's the thing - every weekend isn't necessarily a chance to go farm your butt off. Sometimes, it's just a little extra bonus you'll get through normal playing.

I know, gasp!, normal playing.

Me, well, I used all my black dye on my monk's armor, so I'll be hoping for at least one of those. That would rule.

If you like or not like the week-end events ......... Just play the game as if there was nothing special. After all (I think) we play GW because we like the game.
Anet can not ever please everyone!

Somehow I've managed to avoid most of the previous weekend events without trying (for instance on double lightbringer, I spent all my time in canthan/tyria because I felt like doing stuff there). Meh, I don't feel like I've missed anything.

But this weekend event may be one of the few I can't avoid, as I'm a PvE only player. Though I do have a lot of study to do . . .

I don't mind the increased drops of things for weekends, but I wish it wasn't for something that only costs 100g...

Sure, some players will get a black/white or two, but they'll mostly be getting assloads of orange and purple since the drop rate only affects dye in general.

Whine, Whine, Whine....That's all folks seem to do around here. *sigh* Is it too much to ask for some of you to be thankful and humble with small nice gestures? *sigh*

Anyway, yay for dye. Its always nice to get lots of dye.

Dye is nice, you can never have too much of it. I enjoy trying out lots of dye combos on my armors, but since I don't farm, I don't have an unlimited supply of dyes always handy. This weekend should help a little.

Stop whining people, small weekend events like this are just to put a little extra fun into the game. Of course, nothing ever pleases farmers, but for us more casual players this should be pretty nice. People who take things like this too seriously really should quit for a while and go outside to play.

I don't care really. The only good weekends are Boardwalk. Double rares use to be good when you could actually make money off more than 5 skins.

Nah, Triple Seared Ribcage weekend is what we're all waiting for really..

I'm happy about the weekend. If dye prices drop.. boohoo? I don't even care if it's orange there's just something about getting a dye drop that makes you go "w00t". Ok so Orange may not be that "w00t"-worthy...but Red definitely is!
