Valentines Day event

What would be cool it for Anet to have a valentines day event. the could be Hearts that remove DP and a kiss where you could kiss the nearest (opposite sex) player.
Just a thought that i think would be cool.

and a cupid bow event item

Candy heart fights =O

Umm... No man on man?

They would have to call the thing "Love Day", or some such crap to be politically correct.

Lol now that woulb be cool

CHOCOLATE! hehe well..maybe some items like cupids bow, cupids uhm i dunno llol

lol this would be cool. And that would be cool to send valetines cards to peoples inventory

Kissing idea is a "not so much" idea in my book. I'm just picturing orgies of people kissing, people laying down, people in their underwear, people kneeling, people in the water. Needless to say, it would be pretty sketchy. (And I'd be totally against it if there was no guy-on-guy choices...not all of us are straight)

I wouldn't mind being able to send Valentines as a drop for specific people (eg: drop item -> promtname) -> valentine on ground is dropped for person whose name you left) This way you could have random valentines, or there could be an option to send them through the trade function (if you want the person to know who sent it). These could either act as a Dp remover, or maybe give the 3 pip of regen for a certain time, or something minor.

Just an idea. I don't think there should be town reconstructions or anything though.

no thanks

Oh brother.
No thank you.
I can see every 14 year old (no offense intended to the nice 14 year olds) spamming 'u want cybersex with me?'. Or 'i'm hawt!'
That kind of bs.

I don't think the community is mature enough for Valentineday event. sorry.
Not to mention that my female ele wouldn't dare to show her face on that day.

Think there are probably some better holiday choices than ones made up by Hallmark...

AUww I can See it now. I'm in droknars and all the sudden the sun comes out. Everything gets warm, and sunny, and hearts fall from the sky... and dwarves go around kissing every player... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

lol

meh. valentine's is a commercialized holiday secretly propagated by a conglomerate of card companies, flower companies, chocolate companies, and expensive restaurants.

no thank you.

How about have this Cupid and Aphrodite NPC were you talk to her you can buy a "Arrow Of love" and you type in a players name and werever they are a cupid figure appears next to them and cupid shoot him/her and gets the arrow in the invintory it would say "An Arrow from*person who bought it* and they'd also he a flower or a box of choclates with like 25 uses, the box of chocolates would remove 5-10dp or give 1% moral bonus

I'm using Arrow of Love!
but I agree with Makkert.. there prob be some immature kids shouting "omg im hawt give me a kiss, etc.."

Spare me..pleaasseee!!! It's already bad enough in towns having to filter around the constant 'noob wars' and 'nekkid dance partie buy sturag" (misspelling intended) without adding this into the mix. *shudders*

Well i personally like the idea

Ooooook, here's the thing. In principle, it's a decent idea. But in practice, to sum up, "Immature teenagers with hormones for the lose."(sic) And that's the news.

Candy Heart items - once "eaten" (or use), will have a glowing message above your head for few seconds... like "I Heart Your" , or "Hug and Kisses"

Chacolate, Flowers, and Rings - not really much purpose beside giving it to your one and only

Nice Beach- Adding sunsets and firework and take out the mob to some of the local beaches (like the one near Ascalone settlement). And of couse, add Unicorn Ponies running aruond! (also you can make your own jinggle... "It sure is a nice beach, lets go B......")

Wedding Dresses who won't want them.

Tuxeidos (i cant spell ) Just to go with the wedding dresses

Priest Gowns. For the roleplayed weddings!

haha! nice idea

a cupids bow that makes it so when you shoot ppl, they love you and thus become palyers on your team for x seconds, lol, wild but imaginative imo

Hey I'm 14, I don't speak like that, lol.


P.S. WUNT CYBOR C3X OMG?

/Signed

Why Not?

/OMFG H4XX0R lol. Immatureness FTW! yah. ill be on my MALE WARRIOR IN THE BUTT-UGLIEST CRAP ARMOR I CAN FIND!!!!!!!!

/hilarious.

/hilariousx2.

whole idea sounds great, but also I think it would get creepy. (real fast. if you get my drift.)

Bad idea, too many events at that point. Where are you going to store all that extra stuff? We don't need a 'Hallmark Holiday' event.

Hallmark officially endorses the Halloween event for GW. Buy this card for your friend only $5 real money. Just go to the Card Merchant and type in you credit card number...choose a card to buy and *WHAM!* the other player is crushed by this giant card no matter where they are. Knocks them to the ground, and for 15 seconds they can't do anything because they are in love.

I just want the Easter Event with -

Bunny Ears!
Easter Eggs!
Bunny Ranger Pets!

Certainly be able to drag my wife back into the game with that (LotR:The Third Age has her atm)

sounds like someone does'nt receive many cards this time of year ...

i on the other hand receive far to many ....what honest ...its true....

it'd be kinda cool if Charactors of the Oposite Gendar could walk hand in hand...i dunno it'd just be cool, not immature or anything, maby on the day on the valentines thing you get randomly paired off with a girl char if your a guy/ Guy if your a girl char.... and make sure theres a Mod around patrolling during this for those immature jackholes

Lovers' Complex Quest

A intertwine mix of series of event and quests with outcome that affect one another.

Here would be an example of the cast:

John: A former soldier of Ascalon and husband to Marry. On a mission, die while trying to protect Lela from a Charr Invasion. Now a roaming spirit, unwilling to pass on because of his concern for Marry.

Fernado: Twin Brother of John. Also a soldier that is now assigned as body guard to Lady Zanxi. Also he is helping taking care of Marry, widow of his late brother. While he secretly like Lela, but is torn by how she think he is another man (John). Also is being pursued by Lady Zanxi (who he dislike).

Grimth: A handsome man born of Nobility, however he is curse by the Mad King, and is transformed into a hideous creature by day, and only a man under full moon. When he was in the creature form, he was hunted down like a monster, but Marry took him in and tended his wound. By this act, he was ever grateful to her, and harbor a love toward her.



Marry: Widow, who still mourns for the lost of her late beloved husband, John. She is unsure what to do, to let go, or to pursued a new life. Helped Grimtih before (but she does not know his true identity). Like a older sister to Lela.

Lady Zanxi: A Women of Nobility from Canthra who is on a trade mission to Ascalon. She always gets what she wants, but also have a lonely side because of her position. She now had her eyes set on Fernado, her assigned bodyguard. Also, she is engaged to Sir. Grimth to Noble.

Lela: A simple village girl that John saved before, and feel affection to him because of that. However, she did not know John die in the process ( she was knock out) and now holds a secret crush to Fernado (who she think is John).

the combo choice would include:
John-Marry, (John-Lela), [John-Lady Zanxi]
Fernado-Lady Zanxi, (Fernado-Lela), [Fernado-Marry]
Grimth-Marry, (Grimth-Lady Zanxi), [Grimth-Lela]

() mean harder to get, [] mean more secret to get (with some requirement conditions), unbrakett mean easie to get.

There are several quests that each person have, which depend on what you complete, will lead to different outcome, as well as opening or closing selection of other quest. (most quest just involve getting some item, fedex between person, and making choice on what advice or word to tell them)

-Breaking Curses, passing love letters, find item that let spirt cross the world, burning other's love letter and spreading rumors, etc etc... Don't think I need to spell out all the quest and how they are interconnected and what you must do, but I am sure you can think of some.

Example of John’s quest. You might A) help him unit him with Marry (where Marry will join him to the spirit world), or B) Persuade Marry to look forward of her own life, to let go of the memory of him, or even C) Unit John and Lela together.

So if you pick A, it will also close the possibility of the quest of uniting Grimth and Marry or even Fernado and Marry together. (which is possible with B or C) Thus this will change the whole dynamic of the quest. A Complex Quest system. (And yes, the story is a GW Soap)

Rings so that the only current ring in the game isn't the Silver Ring from the belated betrothal quest. Skill charm rings have been gone for a while, so there aren't too many options for in-game RP weddings (though I have no such plans for one for myself)
Consentual valentine's day card exchanges, with short custom messages.
Write a card with disgusting spam inside? Well, unless someone either knows you or is very naive, they're not going to accept it from you. I should hope people wouldn't accept such tokens of friendship from complete strangers, anyway.

Other small tokens would be nice as well. I love collecting holiday junk.

I like the complex quest idea, as long as there were rewards for it.

True, being a free Game
But having a Valentines Event aint bad,
or Should every Holiday have a event?..
Martin Luther King ? Everyone Turns Black :O
4th of July Charr BBQ Anyone?
Lawl

i know who i will send my love gram to first.

anyone wanna hold my hand?

Evidently my search button is not working properly. I also made a suggestion for a Valentine's Day event and started the new thread. My bad.
Anyhow, I was thinking that we connect the event to the Goddess Lyssa as she is the Goddess of Beauty and I would assume Love. I thought maybe they'd call the event Lyssa's Day or some such connotation on the word love or beauty.

Please god no. It's a worthless enough holiday in real life, let alone in game. Frankly events should be few and far between. They're a lot of trouble for Anet and those resources are better spent in other areas. Also, if you redecorate major cities for every inane holiday that comes down the pipe you're hardly ever going to see them looking normal. Events are only special if they're rare.

Too close to Chinese New Year. On that note, sign my Chinese New Year Thread!

Seriously, there's too much work to program every single holiday. Once you throw in Valentine's, people will be asking for Ground Hog Day, April Fool's Day, Independence Day, Canada Day, Mexican Day of the Dead, Talk Like a Pirate Day (Sept. 19th), Day of the Ninja (Dec. 5th), Eat Brains Like a Zombie Day, Easter, ....
