Any weekend ideas 2?

Since it was closed and suggested to move here any ideas?

Frankly...I'm tired of seeing HA/GVG and such events every other week, I would like to see some more PVE events.

The special boss weekend event is kinda interesting. Maybe Something like the festival events, where everyone joins in to fight some super tough boss and it takes everyone to beat it, getting prizes for doing so.

I wouldn't mind seeing tripple key/double gold weekened again.

Maybe a bday present weekend for Christmas...:> Sort of like with the easter egg/chcoolate bunny hunt.

Meh, GW really doesnt need any bonus events, unless it deals with drops or missions or something... Keep up the PvP bonus events Anet!!!

yeah i want to see a weekend event for proph. I know gw:en, factions and NF are all cool but what about game one? I want to see a dbl xp or dbl chance for green or anything in proph. I loved running around in tyria.

~the rat~

One that I would like to see is the ability to make characters of all professions available to be made in all campaigns. For instance, you'd be able to make a Ritualist in Prophecies, a Dervish in Factions, an Assassin in Nightfall. Just for a weekend. I'd be willing to buy a few new character slots to be able to make a rit or dervish in presearing.

The only problem with this idea would be the fact that there's no trainers in the games that these professions are not native to. Probably a bit too much work to put in for a weekend event to add skill quests for each profession as well.

Bah, a couple of PvP oreinted weekends in a row and people get ticked. What about that double GW:EN allegiance weekend that just happened? That is totally PvE and in fact doesn't even help those who don't have GW:EN. Don't be spoiled. The PvE and PvP events are about 50/50.

Wolfwing, there IS a christmas event every year (Wintersday). But, you know, it has to be DURING Christmas. Got to wait until at least December. And we will have Halloween before that coming up in a couple of weeks.

Skill Balance weekend, every 2 weeks. That'd keep me glued to my screen.

At the moment, Guru > GW for sure.

Heh way to jump the gun ther Hawk..:> I was simply giving a suggestion FOR it.

As for PVP/PVE I would say thats not true. I've seen periods of 2-4 weeks in a row where it's all PVP and nothing really for PVE, of if it's PVE it's double for DOA or something thats rather limited.

Well, we'll have another double something next week, followed by a halloween one. It'd be nice if Anet moved away from the reduced grind ideas (because they aren't fixing the real problems of the game) and do some things that are more fun oriented.

1. How about a random shout weekend where in PvE, every time someone uses a skill, a random shout will happen. It could be anything currently in the game or some new effects just for the weekend.

2. A while ago, I suggested a siege devourer vs NF wurm PvP arena weekend... That'd be fun.

3. New boss weekend... Add a few bosses that last just for a week-end and maybe give them greens that can only be farmed in that time.

4. Ecto-drop weekend, where every mob has a 3% chance of dropping several ectos when you kill it.

5. Pre-portal weekend. Add an alternate reality area of pre-searing ascalon where the searing never occured. It'd be level 20 or so and after the weekend, it'd be possible to return there whenever you want... and at a portal from all the chapters.

6. Elite weekend; where in both PvP and PvE everyone is given a bar of 8 preset elites based on primary and sub class (maybe 5 from primary 2 from sub and a res).

7. Guarenteed gold weekend, where all treasure chests opened with a lock pick will give you a gold item or an elite tome, gaurenteed.

8. Green vendor weekend... a merchant appears in each town selling all non-endgame and non-elite area greens. All greens are sold for 5k.

9. Emperor's clothing weekend: all armor is invisible.

10. Death by bunny weekend: all mobs including end-game bosses look like bunnies for a weekend.

11. Gwen's revenge weekend... in all HM zones child gwen will come back as a boss-like mob with multiple elites on her bar and travel in packs of 10 (one of each class). For example the el version might have mind blast, SF, SH, mist form, invoke lightning, and sandstorm. Killing all ten of the gwens will be required for vanqing the zone, but they'd drop a Green Flute specced for that gwen's respective class as a random drop.

GvG weekend is pretty limited too. So is AB/FA double faction weekend. Both eliminate casual RAers from the picture.

Quatro EXP for Capping Elite skills, wil be so fun!?!
That is one thing i really want to see xD
But probably never going to happend

Off-topic: Thanks ANet for the double Eye of the North reputation weekend. I really needed that for my titles.

On-topic: As PvE player I feel no need for more PvP weekends, I guess the best thing is to keep them balanced as they are now. A PvE weekend one week, a PvP weekend the other week.

But we had last time 2 times pvp weekend, so its fair to get 2 times pve weekend

But this weekend is october fest, and the next weekend something with "Halloween"probably

How about Classic Skill Weekend

Reset all the skills to the way they were in the very beginning of Guild Wars, so no nerfs whatsoever.

We can play boon prots again, and for the noobs iway etc

And I remember several periods where it was 2-4 weeks in a row of PvE only weekends.

Get over it.

i want another skill balance weekend or GvG weekend

An exclusive pet capping only on that weekend. For example, cap penguin on December 1st.

A weekend where you can only be a toucher in PvP xD

Of course since NF came out Oct 26th last year there will be a few birthday gifts comng to many very soon now.
3 for me and don't mind what they are.

And halloween to follow whoopee I look forward to seeing the mad king in gwen "hopefully"
Would love to see the charr norn and asura versions of halloween.

Would be nice if some events where hard mode only just for a laugh, like the idea of big bad bosses hard to kill.
Bet the gwen game has released a few from underground.

Heh I get my 1 year birthday gift some time around the full moon, it's between 23rd and 28th some time this month.

Oh sweet jesus I wouldn't get any work done. Best weekend event ever.

And get rid of all skills post-Prophecies XD

I'll be the first to buy stacks of ectos

rofl, all of those would either break the game, or are stupid (naked weekend? wtf)


well devouerer vs wurms would be ok i guess

Lockpick drop weekend...

have Lockpicks drop in normal areas, and increase drop rate in HM.

personally im tired of the rotating weekends, make it something every weekend for all 3 pve/pvp/gvg

blurry weekend: All alcohol effects last 2x and give 2x points towards the track.

randomized HA weekend: after a team wins 1 round it is disbanned and reassembled with random "winning" players. the random teams that win in HoH get x2 balth faction and 2x chest drops and 3x fame.

end game bosses rampage weekend: oooh nooooes they have escaped and will spawn RANDOMLY in zones, across all 4 games.

I got an idea for a PVE based weekend! Marriages. Since most of us arn't going to ever get married anyways, why not put them in the game!
