I've been hearing rumors about this, I was wondering if anyone else has too.
Apparently Frog mentioned that we shouldn't blow through our fireworks too quickly. Apparently someone else saw files in the dat that may point to a double party animal point weekend. Guild Wars 3rd birthday is also coming up.
Anyone heard any of this as well?
Double party animal points weekend?

Look at the dev chat log, frog said something was coming up but he asked if 'weekend' was involved and was specfically told no to that.

No, that would be RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing fail. Ruin the title more pls.

Well I don't wanna be negative from the festival again, we've already been through that. But it seems like the festival has taught us to not enjoy things or give them away, but instead to save them up to avoid a surprise disappointment. I'll be saving up my festival items rather than have any kind of fun with them because of the possibility of double points.

XDDD, isn't a bit soon for that? It's a brand new title!
Nah. What wee need is an unlimited source for items for the title... like...
- Firework crates as prices for GvG matches.
- Being able to craft Firework crates in Factions owned outposts (talking to the Fireworks guy)
- Adding the Firework crates to the list of the Victory Token rewards and the Zaishen chest.
- Maguuma merchants selling a new Fx item for 400g (bouquet of flowers).
- Canthan merchants selling a new Party item for 400g (streamer).
- Nightfall collector (in the desolation) that gives a new animation item in exchange for 5 mummy wrappings (Mini mummy coffer).
Yup. That would do. Easy the way to obtain them, but still require to obtain them.

In a way that did happen when some people made it to Savior of the Kurzicks title, THEN Anet made the points double on your title track when you donate them to your guild.

Double Party Points means I leave this game and all other Anet and NCsoft games, permanently.
Screw us over again, go on, we like it. F**king Anet....

would be nice if there were more ways to get the party items....and the dumb crates...no guild hall, no good. (though I can probably make a few plat selling them!)

The rumor comes from gw.dat.
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Talk:...#Double_points
Note that the duration is in seconds, so it is unlikely to be a weekend event.

Party Time! Excellent! For %str1% second[s], you gain double points towards the Party Animal title track when using festive items. |

If that is true, probably it was what the Frog was talking about when it told people to 'save some fireworks'.

What we need is an alcoholic drink loaded with sugar that also explodes in some way.
Gaile Gray
I asked about this, and there are no plans to have a double-up weekend. In fact, it was thought about and rejected. Froggie was speaking about something else, apparently.
And I highly doubt anybody saw anything in the DAT about the subject. I swear -- every rumour in the world got to the DAT file! Coming soon to the DAT: Gaile's Super Secret Truffle Recipe and the full text file of the dev team's Wintersday Card list. *rolls eyes*

Now.........about a certain other "rumor" found in the .Dat.......hmmmmmmm.

Yes, we must have the truffle recipe!

Tbh i dont think event like that Double drunk Sugar etc will come cause you cant farm them proper atleast not fireworks. and event are for that everyone can join em not just rich ppl. If theres some event for double points it those titles that you earn while you play and like that not titles that you can earn mostly with cash.
Longasc
Maybe during GW's 3rd birthday. Who knows.
I just do not like all these "double" weekends (As much as I doubt the consumable titles are a good thing). If the titles are such a grind to max, they just should go ahead and half the points needed or double the points gained in general.
And not slap people in the face that had a party for 3k points before that weekend.
ANet has a talent for party-pooping, see the Mini Polar Bear and the Celestial Pig threads.

Sorry, I had to do it. I'm still a bit miffed.
Anyway, I'll be saving mine up for a couple of months just in case something is instituted.
Linksys
Same here. I'm too hesitant to use my festival items. May as well make a time capsule storage character.

Maybe we'll have cooking/firework NPC?
e.g. get some ingredients and give it to the chef/producer = food/sparkler

What you should do is have 'aura of the party' which is activated only during events. This will double the point effect, and encourage players to actually use the items during festivals instead of wasting them elsewhere.
It could even be broken down to new year items gain extra bonuses during new year festival, as opposed to using halloween items then.

It would be just GREAT.

There was a firework crafter during the New Year celebration. I guess it would be nice for some people if he found his way into some town during the rest of the year.
