will there be? looks like tyria is now taken for granted and prophecies only owners are missing all the fun.
what do you think? should a.net throw out some exclusive tyrian events?

You people need to stop whining :[

Tyria had EVERY event before factions was released... Dont complain.

1) Buy factions
2) You *do* need to stop whining
3) Buy factions again

Indeed, it's only natural that Anet make new events for Factions, it would be a bit silly of them not to.

I think it is good idea I am sure they are working on it!

Why not make it in the Battle Arenas?
Thom
Unlikely. Past events will likely reaccur, but until an expansion revisits Tyria I can't see Anet doing too much other than quests to play into new expansions. It simply doesn't make sense to provide additional content to a past product while you are trying to sell people new products.
I personally hope that future chapters return to Tyria, but that is another thread.

Btw, shouldn't all these suggestion threads be in the sanitarium?

It's funny they always say stop whining & don't complain but when ch3 comes out who do u think will be the new whiners and complainers then.
And no i do not have factions and will not own it I for one dont like it.
As for OP yes it would be nice to have Tyria only events but dont count on it

As rpg player I think the events should effect both contents. One should effect the other.
I also think there should be trade or trading going on between both contents.

Factions however did have 2 in a row being dragon festival and the one in the past for tengu day.
I wouldn't mind if there was some tyria event.
And yes I own factions so has nothing to do with not having it :P

Tyria is still a hand, while Cantha is just a pinky. Stop whining. You have the greatest part of the game. Don't let them delude you in false sense of Cantha being better than Tyria.

Im in a portugese neighborhood (my last name is actually portugese...but we wont get into that) and its football fever over here!! everyone's got their flags and playing on the street and the park and such. :P
But they would be fans if they were still in their home countries~

a good reason to have events and the additions of new green items in Tyria is that people who ONLY own factions would pickup Prophecies at stores and help balance the population out
Tyria is lacking population in many areas so It would be a good idea to have some event in the future to make those factions only owners want to buy prophecies

Not happening. The team that worked on Prophecies is currently hard at work on Chapter 3. Any updates to Tyria = time taken away from dev time for Nightfall.

What does Tyria have to do with it?

If anet went this route they will promote players to buy both chapter1 and chapter2
It will also promote people to merge the both chapters!
there should be world events to as well.
they could add some earth qaukes bad events as well as good to shake things up1

I don't think Tyria will be getting any more exclusive events. Probably just recycled ones from before (Halloween, Christmas etc.), which will also be given to Cantha.

Well, disregarding what has been 'unofficially' said by Alex and Gaile, I think maybe the Mad King's event could be Tyria only (and I wouldn't mind, even being an owner of both). It's definitely not too big not to be. I think the only one really definite to be worldwide is the wintersday festival. I think that would be nice to have the Halloween one remain Prophecies-only. Again (disclaimer), I have both so really wouldn't be put out either way, nor would I care much. I just think it's a good candidate for it.
I know Gaile has mentioned those two in partiocular being GW-wide, but again, like everything else she says, it doesn't make it official.. At least that's what they've been telling us.

The Mad King was Tyrian wasn't he? The Haloween event could easily be kept toTyria only. Wintersday was about the battle between Dwayna and Grenth, and since Cantha (and presumably all other continents on this world) worship the same gods, Wintersday would be global. So, Arenanet just really ned to make one permanent holiday event for each continent (Tyria has Haloween and Wintersday, Cantha has the Dragon Festival and Wintersday), though obviously discounting if they do more special, once off events like the Day of the Tengu.

No shit that Tyria had every event before Factions...it was the only continent for an event to occur at.
Phaern Majes
Meh I'll buy every chapter that comes out most likely so, despite where events take place I'll probably be able to take part if I wish. Seriously 50$, not a ton of money to dish out when you think how much you'd have to spend to get that 1500 hours/year (roughly) of entertainment elsewhere. Thats like the equivalent of mowing 2 people's lawns, or babysitting a couple of times. Or if you aren't a child, you probably have a job, and can probably afford the cost.
I make no assumptions though, just saying....

I agree, buy factions or don't expect your own party BUT.
They might make tyria only even to get people who only have factions to get prophecies. Its still a double sided coin.

I like what Raziel's saying here, an events team (isn't there one already? or one in the making?) is a good idea. It could cover various areas and keep things lively for multiple lands.
I personally don't view Tyria or Cantha as any difference in size, they're both alot of fun and I travel between both quite frequently. And for various reasons. I also don't think the initial core post of this was whining at all..(and honestly, the whole 'buy or die' attitude is too wrought with negativity it seems lately) It's good to vocalize about concerns and see if anything will be planned for more events. After all, a fair portion of the regular populace is non-Factions in Tyria, without them it would be very lonely.. and quiet, if not already. Something tells me more events or quests will bring people back to Tyria through Nightfall or even more in Factions. Who knows.. but stay optimistic.

Sures theres been Haloween, Christmas, etc in Tyria. But I think anet should make a day that honors Tyria and nothing else. Tyria can have special events n stuff and all the Major cities (Except. Denravi ;p nobody goes there 
) can be done up n stuff to honor Tyria's heritage with the Serpents and stuff ;D!
~The Dragon festival honored Cantha, so why not one fro Tyria? T-T;

Cantha sucks. give something to do in our beloved Tyria. all this asian-styled crap will never be as good as Lion's Arch!

Yeah that's totally not the right attitude ignis :/
and well said Queen Christie Who knows, maybe they'll pull a rabbit out of their hat down the line. *shrug*

I do miss the thriving days of Tyria. Many Ascalon citizens have been largely underappreciated since the dawn of Cantha. Plus it would be an effective retroactive marketing plan to promote GW Prophecies for exclusive Faction players.

Didn't someone say there were three teams? Two that alternate between chapters and one that adds new content/events etc? So that shouldn't be the problem.
Actuallly from a marketing perspective it would make sense to add chapter specific events for every chapter new or old. Why? Quite simply because there are people who have only bought Factions and maybe don't have Prophecies. Just like there are people who have Chapter 1 but not Chapter 2.
Now they will see messages like "fun event going on in <chapter you don't have>" so what will their reactions be?
a) Meh
b) That's annoying!
c) Hmm, I might buy that chapter
So in other words some might get annoyed and complain but there will also be another reason for people to buy the other chapter. That translates to more sales for NCSoft and Anet, which is what their business model is based on.
They added new greens in Tyria, there's no reason to think they won't add more content to Tyria in future (if only as a marketing tactic)
