Guild Wars 2

Short and simple
They’re a cool concept and all, but as we’ve seen they usually result in massive lag, server crashes, and thousands of errors. They’re also inconvenient for many people, some time zones are at 4:30am when their event starts. Some people have to go to work, or school, or take care of their kids, or whatever it is they do. It’s just not convenient to plan around a event in a game. So in short, instead of one time events, why not all day events, or all weekend events, like how Grenth and Dwyana had their mini-game for 24 hours in Guild Wars 1. This is just my opinion on the matter, and I hope that you all can see where I am coming from.

I agree that regular event-cycles for 24 hours would be much nicer – you know, like we had in GW1. That way, you could nearly always participate at least once and get your fancy hat

Just do holiday events like Blizzard does them. Let them be repeatable like crazy, but only give out the good rewards once per character. Everyone is happy.

Yeah idk why they feel like they need to up the ante, hats were honestly fine back in GW1.

I 100% agree with this. The Mad King event was mostly a incredible success, with the only disappointing part being Sunday. The Lost Shores not only greatly antagonized at least half the player community, but likely did permanent damage to the servers due to overheating during the event, causing the lag that was never a problem before. It is a time to return to tradition – recurring events with purely cosmetic rewards. Edit: I DO consider transmutation skins to be purely cosmetic. But only as long as they are account or soulbound.

Edit: While i’m saying this, i would like to point out that Toys are more or less not acceptable for onetime Event Finale rewards unless they are promised to be obtainable from future events (i.e. 2013, 2014 etc.) However, i would like to see a obtainable toy reward from some puzzle or seasonal campaign. A reward that is only limited by the event’s rather long time, which can be done and completed to the player’s leisure.

I just wish that the main event took place on another city / area. Lions Arch is already full with people doing their regular stuff (which nowadays is basically “LFG FotM lvl X”). So they could pick a less crowded place. That way, the ones who are interested in the event will go there, while the rest will just go on with their LA routine.
