GW2 WEEKLY EVENT IDEAS

T

ToxicAsF

Over Analystical Extreme Gambler
I NEED MORE IDEAS! Quite simply we've had jumping puzzle races, kegbrawling, zone explorations, SPvP shenanigans and so forth. Well, as much fun as these are, I want to prevent as much rehashing as possible! Every week I want some new things to do. So this is where I want everyone to post your ideas!
 
hide and seek pls

have everyone go to a map, turn off names. have everyone go hide. and bam. hide and seek
 
^^hide and seek, but how about the kind where once you find someone they have to help in the search?
 
LOVING THE HIDE AND SEEK IDEA. We can pick a major city and play with the honor system of no nameplates and no cheating. I trust you guys :)
 
Scavenger hunt, with like.. grey items that drop from certain mobs (and thus can't be cheesed via the TP). Keep it like mid-level mobs so all can participate? Maybe? Not sure how it'd work out.
 
Where in the world is Gyoin: A Screen Shot Scavenger Hunt

Take 5 interesting screenshots with distinct landmarks or set pieces in the background. Maybe even add a riddle about the locations. Everyone else needs to go collect those screenshots and post em on the forum for points. All 5 gets you a bonus.

Best part is that it can be played across all time zones on everyone's own time.
 
I think we can expand on the key brawl idea and use the practice mode it allows. If you talk to the NPC that puts you in keg-brawl it lets you go into practice mode as long as you stay in the area. After we did the keg-brawl event yesterday a fair number of us stayed behind and had some fun with that. I'd think it would be nice if he had a more organized event with winners, ect and a few more people (most of the people left before we got into that).

So I'm purposing The Keg-brawl Olympics where we had multiple events for points (more events the better). I think it would be the most fun if we split everyone into two teams (semi-randomly) and which ever team's member wins the event gets points for their team, but we could also just keep track of individual scores. There are locals in the area that I think we should consider part of the obstacles and fair play. So far I've got:

kEgg toss: (credit to Tr1age) we all line up paired with a partner and throw a keg back and forth, if you catch it you stay in and move back if you drop it you're out of the round.

Keg Dodge-ball: (I think this was also Tr1age) we form two lines red rover style (pretty far apart) and one side throws the kegs to the other line, who ever catches a keg is in and if you don't catch one in the air you're out. We repeat that until just one side is left.

500: One person throws a keg into a group of people and calls out a number in the air and who ever catches it gets that many points (often played with a football in RL) - first one to 500 points wins. To speed this up we could have him stand by the kegs and throw multiple kegs so more people have a chance to catch one.

Keg (Frisbee) golf: Where we have a football like game except you can't run while holding the game keg.

Keg Relay: were we make two longs lings of people who don't move and throw the keg down the line; first keg to the end that is touched by everyone in the line wins.

Everyone, please contribute more ideas if you come up with them.
 
I would like to see us do a sPVP tournament as well. I've heard the idea thrown out there, but wanted it to be in this thread. We would pick an empty sPVP server and get as many participants to join it. Have 1v1 matches spread out among the map. Have a bracket setup and depending on the number of people do a round-robin, single, or double elimination. If the event is a success we could revisit it but do it in teams as a 2v2 or 3v3 as well.

We could use an online bracket to keep track and so we can show the results afterward. A quick search came up with this free easy to use one: http://challonge.com/exampleofbracket

I love the hide and seek and scavenger hunt ideas! The keg brawl is a nice to play, but you can never seem to get everyone into the same games. :<

Just to be clear if you were referring to The Keg Brawl Olympics this would be done in practice mode which is done on our home server and everyone will easily be able to play with each other. It's when you go into actual games that you get split apart.
 
I have a few ideas for higher level events content, but we can't do this until almost everyone has at least 1 level 80 character just to be fair. I'm sure some can be adjusted to include characters of all levels.

Once a large number of us get to level 80 I think we should host a Caravan to Orr event. Where we escort lowbies and anyone who doesn't have orr unlocked into that zone. This technically doesn't have to be a guild only event. We can reach out the community too by allowing more people access to that zone.

Ranger Pet Menagerie event. One whole day, we all make rangers and help everyone who has a ranger collect every ranger pet there is in the game. Than we can take a screenshot of every pet there is in game at the same time. It'll be like a petting zoo, except these animals can bite! :D

Underwater Flashbang. Just get a bunch of people with guardians together and just go do some underwater content to see how awful it can get. :D

Pickaxe Frontier. Orichalcum mining and T6 node expedition. Plain, boring, but helpful for those who don't have level 80 exotics yet. Orr final map clear can also be included in this event since there are no hearts to do.

I'm sure that I'm not the only person who has thought of these, but since you're asking for ideas I thought why not. You can also collect all of the suggestions and edit them into your original post so that it's all collected in 1 post rather than spread out in this thread. ^

I'll add to this thread if anything new comes up in my mind.

I would also like to suggest another tiny chat party to see and get to know the new members of the guild! <3

This.

Also, we need a new dance song. Gangnam is played out.
 
A game of simon says. Just like the kids game. we all line up in an area and you call out the emotes to do in mumble. People who screw up are out of the line till there is a last man standing.

I second this one. Sounds fun. We'll definitely have to do it in our official city too.
 
I'm thinking we should have a snowball fight event. There are plenty of areas in the Norn zones where you can find snowballs. We could have game types such as elimination where if you get hit with a snowball you're out, or even snowball tag, where if you get ht by one you become "it."

We could also have a capture the flag event where we would have two warriors, one on each team, place banners in the opposing teams base, and see whose team could cap their banner first. If a person gets tagged in the opposing teams base, they have to go all the way back to their own before being able to try and capture the flag again.
