Extending the No Down State event for a second week?

[ozzeh.7398]

I think we should consider extended the No Down State event for a second week. This could potentially give some servers a different experience with the event if their server switches tiers. Realizing that some people hate the event and others love it, I expect mixed opinions on the idea, but I wanted to throw it out there anyway.

and after that extend it for another week, and another, and another, and another, etc.

let's not

[Dawdler.8521]

A different experience for what purpose? The community will still be divided over it. Another week isnt going to change anything. A better idea would be to have monthly recurring events instead, though not necessarily only the downstate change of course.

[Ryudnard.2587]

At this point, create a borderland that doens't have any downs. Start with EoTM and test if people actually like it that much.

[Terrahero.9358]

No thanks. Lets instead do a No Stealth week or a No Weapon Swap week. You know, mix it up, strip out some other core mechanics for a change.

Great idea, do you know that in this game exist classes like Elementalist or Engineer and they don't have any weapon swaps? Cool.And no stealth week, there are already target painters, sentries, DE got nerfed, Mirage got hit too, watchtowers, traps etc. Yet ppl still complain about stealth mechanic, lmao.And why No Downed Week is better than No Stealth or No Weapon Swap week? Because everyone has access to downed state in opposite to stealth or weapon swap. Thats why this kind of weeks won't ever happen.

@OP, yes, would like to see another week of No Downed State, fights looks more smooth and 1vX is more possible than ever without ress handicap.

[Dawdler.8521]

Oh oh no dodge week then?

i think thats a bit too extreme to happen. maybe something like : 4 base dodge rolls but half the base endurance gain. this would increase the amount of dodges you can 'burst' yet will reduce overall dodge uptime over a longer fight.

Nobody complains about stealth as a mode of moving players/groups stealthy around map(healthy stealth use), people complain about stupid ganker builds oneshoting from stealth (no healthy stealth use)

The only special event I want to see being extended week after week after week for the next two or three years is a No mounts week event. Although, apparently, some love the mount and some hate it, I don't expect mixed opinions. I know that during that weeks (I hope to have a 2-3 years long week =) ) no WvW-er will complain.

[aspirine.5839]

Nah as fun as it is, it needs to end.

I am in for a no siege week, but the doors need to be lowered in health to allow a group to even get in a decent amount of time :)

soo you know that.. guess everyone complaining then will be excluded from the group you define as 'WvW-er' ?

id much more expect after the cooldown to mounting and the dismount skill that is still to come, that anet might remove the 'out of combat' restriction from mounts. so that you have an easier time not gettin run down by a horde of warclaws ;)

At that moment, we can hear the many thief players cry across the globe.

i'd like to see a 100% berserker or 100% marauder stats for everyone week :D!

No down state event?I thought it was ranger pewpew event

Agreed, make it permanent please.

[Gorani.7205]

NoWhat we need is more special weeks with different flavours to go hand in hand with the Call of the Mists buff. Three normal weeks, one special week.e.g.No DownstateTraps are tricky (have cost of supply, double the effect) - It would work as a stealth nerf even and you could enforce supply management & new siege locations, as the usual ones are most likely trapped)Bloody Bloodlust (PPK could be buffed, forcing a larger focus on gaining bloodlust and then fighting in open field battles for points)Dolyaks on Strike (movement speed of Dolyaks is halved; this makes double dolyaks & speedy dolyaks more important and people would have to defend them more actively; if possible, increase rewards for escorting and killing caravans)

[HazyDaisy.4107]

The event (even though 1 week) has already spread across a relink/reset that saw many servers shift tiers. They've had their different experience, it's time to move on.

Let's make it everyone minstrel instead. Also, temporarily replace all food effects with those of Omnomberry Bread and all enhancements with Bountiful Maintenance Oil while they are in WvW.

[Clownmug.8357]

Nah, I'm already tired of "havok" groups running burst builds and focusing on unorganized players to insta-gib one by one. Also I'm starting to think I liked it better when most scrapper players were just face-tanking healbots rather than face-tanking condi roamers.

Move no gliding, no mounts, no down state over to eotm.Add in less participation per activity, less pips bonuses in eotm so main wvw maps can stay the main place to get wvw rewards.Enjoy your classic mode.

Warclaw effectively eliminated efficient ganking by thieves and the bugs with/massive nerf to Dare Devil helped finish it off. There aren't even that many Dead Eye builds around any more. Thief doesn't even have the best stealth even though it is the squishiest class in the game. The only stealth worth complaining about lives on Engis and Mesmers now.

[Elementalist Owner.7802]

No thanks, I'm already bored of seeing 15 thirsty pew pew rangers in every map.

Yep. Those wannabe rangers are making it look bad for the real ones!

Add an NPC to the GvG area to let players toggle those settings within the area and there you have it.
