Future Weekend Events

Scott Ware · Subject: Future Weekend Events 2010-01-19, 4:40 pm

I try to get some type of focus for each weekend, and recently, they've been quite successful. So, thank you all for your participation. To (hopefully) continue to progress this trend I would like to know how you want to organize these events. Typically, I just do some sort of PvE thing to progress titles, or push people through campaigns. A lot of times I'm just shooting things out there that I need and feel that others might also need. But I don't want to be the only one that suggests weekend events. So I have a few questions for you:

1 ) Should we have a weekly poll on what type of focus we have for the weekend? Or should I just continue to suggest random things to do?
2 ) Should we wait until after the Guild Wars weekend event has been announced before trying to organize, or should we go ahead and try to set up as early as possible (Mondays or Tuesdays)?
3 ) Is there any interest in organizing PvP weekend events (I know your answer, Mio...), even as simple as AB, JQ, or FA?

Just some things to think about. I'll hold off on this weekends event until I get some responses.

1) Poll sounds good. I'd like to see it implemented.
2) Definitely wait until the GW weekly event is announced.
3) I'm not personally interested in PvP much, but others may be.

Maybe pvp during weekends when there's bonus?

i like poll idea. sorry mio. hug. pvp is poo.

complie a list for weekend to do's

sc runs
pvp -puke-
zquests
nm/hm stuff
whateverz.

sounds like a good idea.

EDIT: i skimmed at first. imma bad girl.... ok so0o.. I dont think we should wait till announcement. because its still an option even if the majority votes what to do. it just makes a clearer picture of what most of us will be doing. if it conflicts with weekend event. members can decide which they want to do. except past weekend it has been mostly pvp weekends anyway.

Well the weekend stuff is announced mid week, right? So we can still plan ahead for the weekend. Smile

It's AB Bonus weekend this upcoming weekend. I saw it briefly when I logged in to check the [FU] roster last night.

The weekend after that is Wintersday Redux and the following one will be Canthan New Year.

That means at least four weeks until there's a potential PvE bonus weekend again (and that one may be PvP since the two events in-between are mostly PvE-oriented).

Usually Wednesdays, but lately, Friday at noon. Just checked wiki and still nothing. The only problem with waiting until GW announces their plans is that if they're late (as usual) then that leaves us little time to vote on a guild event and plan with sign ups. And if we say screw it and do it anyway, they usually do something that all of us are interested in (read: EoTN rep weekend).

AB Weekends aren't usually big sellers with the ECTOs crowd. Just come up with something else to do and vote on it (unless there's a huge AB outcry or something).

OK, I think I got what I wanted out of this thread, so I'll start a new one now and we can go from there. I'll leave this open though in case anyone wants to chime in. Opinions matter.
