New Festival?

I was thinking. Us "wierdo" British People have Bonfire Night, celebrating the fact that some plan to blow up Parliament failed. Yes a bit silly but...
How about a Guild Wars Bonfire Night?
Surely no one would complain about a massive bonfire in LA or Kama, with tonnes of fireworks?
Maybe not the conventional Crate of Fireworks aesthetics, maybe something more unique to spice the festival up!?
With collectors to swap for party items?


Merely a thought I had. ^^
Remember Remember The 5th of Novemeber.

I'd like to see that; too many American things going on

Like your name too... Welsh Dragon, is it not?

Wahey!
Hey there, yeah bit of a mispelling but i made this a while back.

And yeah I've got nothing against Haloween but I wouldnt mind seeing aspects from other countries too.
For example it was Mexican Day of the Dead a day or so ago that would have been cool!

What about Chinese.. I mean...Canthan New Year?

yeah, i live in the southwest US, dia de los muertos is a pretty fascinating celebration. and halloween's skull paint was useful for the calavera look.

Yes I noticed the facepaint and thought that it may have been related! ^^
An actual festival inclusion would be cool.

meh i couldnt see this taking off because its meaning is negative. Blowing up parliament? I couldn't see the British gov. liking this at all.

Its not negative, its celebrating the fact it failed.
Thats why you burn Guy Fawkes. :P
BRING ON THE FIRE! >

ddraeg - Maybe there could be a visit from Mad Guy Fawkes?

Btw, wife is British (mostly). She says y'all can never decide if you are celebrating that Guy's plan was foiled or that he tried in the first place.

Mad Guy Fawkes would be awesome hahahahaha!
And yeah, I reckon it woulda been more impressive if it had worked!
Although the Houses of Parliament are rather impressive.

/signed for a giant bonfire in the middle of main towns ;-) wouldn't really want to put it in the middle of halloween and wintersday though >_<

Yeah this time of year would be a mega busy one for Anet if they did this! :P

why not have a plot to blow up the main city of kryta aka Lions Arch

Yeah a quest chain you could do!?
Prevent the Undead from blowing up Lions Arch.

would be awesome and a good move on anets part to add a new holiday

/sign on muy part

/Signed
Wouldnt mind another festival........
Guild Wars Bonfire Night, would be cool Smores anyone? how about some roasted Marshmellow's
Also Day of tengu again would be cool cause I missed out on it:P

Marshmellow: +1 Sweet Tooth Points. Use this item on The Guild Wars Bonfire to create a Roasted Marshmellow.

Roasted Marshmellow: +2 Sweet Tooth Points & Sugar Rush, this item must be used in conjuction with The Guild Wars Bonfire!

Well I, for one disagree with this idea... if only for the reason that it is political. I hold Fawks in great esteem. He is one of my idols (no joke). Politics shouldn't be in video games. At all.

Well the fireworks would be nice and as a brit I have no problem with a bonfire night festival.

It was more religious than political, though they were pretty much indistinguishable at that time.
Trouble is its limited to one country unlike the other festivals.

Oh and officially we celebrate the failure of the plot.

it sounds like a good idea but the chances of anything really new happening is slim to not happening due to gw2 and the time of year but yeah sounds good
