Guild Wars 2

Currently, I can only think of four types of names that events are given within the game (let me know if there are more I’m forgetting):

“Event” – go ahead and do it, nothing special required.
“Group Event” – you might want at least another player or two to help, unless you are super awesome. You have been warned.
“Guild Mission” – designed specifically for a guild to do together, and will require more than just a single group of five people.
“World Event” – requires a sizable number of people, and has a correspondingly larger reward

However, there are now events in the game that don’t fit any of these categories well, such as Tequatl and the new Wurm. These are events specifically designed to be challenging even for massive, well-coordinated, and well-geared groups of players. World Events come the closest, but considering most world events rarely if ever fail even with an unorganized/unoptimized group, they aren’t even of the same order of magnitude in terms of difficulty. To better convey the intent behind this content, I propose giving it a specific name of its own. My personal suggestion would be,

“Group Challenge Event” – the most intense challenges in the game. You’d better bring your wits, a whole army, and some repair canisters.

Please chime in with your own suggested names. My guess would be that “raid” is off the table due to its connection with other games and the implication of being instanced, but I’m sure there are plenty of other good choices.

Edit: updated to include “World Event” which I had originally forgotten to mention.

They’re called World Events.

I mentioned in another thread I think these should have name that suggest the difficult, because a lot of people are flipping the kitten out that they can’t immediately complete them.

In GW1 they were labeled in red “Master Difficulty” to prevent new players from attempting them and expecting success.

I think something along the lines of “Master Challenge” for Marionette and “Expert Challenge” for the wurm.

What about “Overflow Organization Challenge.”

“Elite Boss”

“Mass Event”

“Field Battle”

“Zone Challenge”

Also, They should probably have a distinct UI color/element to set them apart, and use the “hey you, help!” type of crier NPCs to alert players everywhere in the zone.

@LordKuru I like your suggestion, but it’s incomplete, it should be:
“Everyone to Blackgate Overflow Organization Challenge”

how about “Taxi from overflow to map” living story?

No. That is Teq Challenge…..

“Filler”

Till they release a expansion.
