Guild Wars 2

So I had submitted a ticket and was told to post this on the forums so the devs could see it…

It’s probably too late for this year, but the other night while goofing around with guild members, and singing the song half the night while playing, came up with this idea for an achievement for the Halloween event, either this year or next if it’s too close already.

Achievement: Thriller
/Dance @ with enemies in the Mad King’s Labyrinth
Rewards: 1 AP per level, up to 5 AP (1, 50, 100, 500, 1000)
Title: Thriller

A hidden side to this too could be that each /dance @ in the party can count towards the achievement, which would help encourage people to group up (eg: if a party of five players did this, it would count as five and not one for each of the players in the group). It doesn’t have to be though (however, I can see the logistics of an entire squad stopping to /dance @ a legendary boss in there and then wiping).

If copyright prevented this from happening, it can be altered in a few ways (or logistics of the entire squad stopping to /dance @ the enemy), such as:

• Chiller: chill 1,000 enemies in the Mad King’s Labyrinth
• Thriller: /dance @ other players across Tyria after they have used an item to enable them to participate in costume brawl.
• Thriller: /dance @ Candy Corn minions across Tyria. Players changed via tonic count.

Another option, and this can be used as a promotional tool, is to get guilds to compete with the best flashdance video of this being done in the Labyrinth. Perhaps they get real life loot (like a Bloody Prince plushie) or some item for their guild hall to commemorate the experience. Or time it with a release of another volume of How to Dance in the gemstore, or make this a reward from it (or part of a quest chain incorporated with it).

And just in case anyone is missing the feels on this… video
