Guild Wars 2

this has been ask before but yet . not like this so iam asking it . why is it Anet does not have events like they did in GW1 . like Canthan New Year ,Lucky Treats Week,Dragon Festival,Wintersday in July,Wintersday with drops from kills like they did in gw1 . where you would go all over the place working your hardest to get your drops you wanted like .
Shamrock Ale,Four-Leaf Clover,Red Gift Bags,Crate(s) of Fireworks,Celestial Summoning Stones,Crème Brûlée,Flask of Firewater just to name a few of the items you could get from kills and bosses . honestly i think it would only add to the fun of this game if Anet did this like they did in gw1 . and even tho we all know Anet will not do this. it brings me to ask how many of us players from GW1 miss these events and drop,s and would love to see something like this in GW2???? and like i said if anet did do this it would only add to the game and making it more fun yet once again .

We do have couple of those events.
Wintersday
Halloween

Also some events that happened only once like the Dragon bash and the Queen Jubilee.

BTW, Wintersday in July?

yes i know there is a few events in this game. but not as much as there was in gw1. and it would be nice to have it in gw2 . as it would be a good fit for the game and yes Winters day in July was a event that was half a event of the Winters day it,s self in December .and you got all the drops of that event and there was a few quests that went with it .giving a few good rewards for doing it. and it keep the maps hopping and the towns full of people . was some really good fun enjoyable events . with good drops and btw thos drops like the food the effect,s from them was great and even worked great for some skills like drunken master skill from eye of the north . being drunk and using that skill was a major hoot. and worked will in skill builds too

GW2 have less of those events because of the Living Story.
Except for the hiatus now, because of the HoT, we used to get new content every 2 weeks so if the added all those events along with the LS it would be just too many things at the same time.

Yes, I miss those events too, and I wonder why they didn’t implement more.

I think this can be answered the same way as questions such as…

Why didn’t they add:

• the emotes that were in Guild Wars 1?
• the <insert class here> from Guild Wars 1?
• build templates from Guild Wars 1?

etc.

The answer to all of these is “Who knows?”

I had such great time from GW1 winterday, thanks for bring back the memories.

you must have not played guild wars one at all . and there should be more of them and living story has not got a thing to do with this at all. and the same goes for hot as well it has not got any thing at all to do with this. and when a new pack came out in gw1 there still was events no matter if new pack came out the same time the event was going on or not. and so they can still do all this in gw2 plus events . that is how it was in gw1 . and us old time players miss that a lot in gw2 .

indeed and same here too . as well this is why it makes me enjoy gw1 more then gw2 . now if they add it .it would be like a whole new game with something free.

you are right on this and wish they did add them to gw2 and the build templates from Guild Wars 1. plus the fact you could use 2 classes like monk rt or rt/N and have a major blast for hour,s on end

hey your welcome and glad to hear from another gw1 player. and for the reason i saw your post first . i went in and got this from my new RT/N . i do not have the build yet but going to make me a RT/N bomber . and hope you like this shot from cantha

btw you can still play this great game all over again . and get your hom point,s for gw2 while they fix the hom in gw2 if they ever do that is and this week they are dropping lock picks for the chest,s . and so forth got to say gw1 is still a blast to play and for $20.00 you get the game and packs

If we never got anything else carried over from GW 1, I would be 100% satisfied if we got build templates. I miss those more than anything else.

true about that if we do not get events at the very lest build templates and being able to change skills on the fly in towns would be most welcome
