as the title says
Anet, plz dont just make " 2 weeks event " where players have no impact at all on the game.
the 2 weeks event are nice, like, four winds festival, but must just be some kind of " rest " time, a party to enjoy.
please make, or just start a line of event where actions of players determine the fate of Tyria, this must not be timed by 2 weeks or whatever.
dont consider gw2 as a game and its players separately, but GW2 is a result of the world of Tyria and the actions of its residents. The players are what make the game.
let s say, Rata sum is attacked, from july 2.
Rata sum is attacked daily, at random hours, let s say 4 times per 24 h, not fixed hours pref, no one shd be able to get a timer or whatnot,
1- Rata Sum have guards who are able to repell the ennemies attack even without the help of players, BUT, the town will get smaller and smaller, and if Rata Sum is dominated, half the wp in the whole tyria will not be functionning
(instead of jsut giving rewards, give another kind of motivation : " the world is lost, need YOU now )
2- when some buildings are destroyed, players have 2 choices
a/ give mats to a certain npc, let s say 100 000 mats of each to rebuild one batiment.
b/if the crafting level is 300 and more, player can use the npc s mats to repair/rebuild/make heavy medium light armor/weapon for npc to fight next wave
the whole Rata Sum will be destroyed, after, hmm, let s say 2 weeks if no one participates, so as long as there are people participating, the event will still be running
then, Anet, when u think the event is running for too long, just give an annoucement " thanks to the efforts to all the braves defenders of Tyria, the bad guys are pushed back and Rata Sum is saved … for now "
well, in between, give one or two annoucements saying the ennemies are attackin even more fiercely, or we shall endure.
as a result of this event
a/if successful defenders, there will be npc in Rata Sum to whom players can give mats to create some monuments , note : PLAYERS decide if a monument will be constructed, DEVS : just make a npc that offers to build different kind of monuments depending on the mats donated. And, each defender gets a title and some shiny animation ( like the finishing blow in pvp) then there will be others events.
b/ if failed, Rata Sum is invaded, half the warps in Tyria are destroyed
so the next event will be, ( a continious one, depending on the players actions, not a " 2 weeks thing" again, in wich, no matter what the warps will be repaired , or rata sum reconquered or not ) give XXX mats to repair each portal, reconquer Rata Sum daily,
note : impossible to reconquer in one day with massive zergs , make it so, only XXX mobs come out of Rata sum 3-4 times a day, taht are killable, all the rest of the army is inside Rata Sum.
then invade other towns, or maps
devs gives cars, players drive .
