I don't mean the standard items, I mean special new items for special occasions.

A birthday cake that increases vitality for an hour or something...

Birthday balloons that the special player can carry in their vanity glove slot.

Roses in the vanity slot for that special someone, etc.

All can be added to the gift shop and bought with EP.  

**though Guth can get his founder statue added, hint hint hint.  

This was tree-mendously helpful!  Thanks all!

can't log in, having issues

uuugh, this is driving me insane.  now off to work for a massive 11 hour shift and unable to enjoy the new event.  the horror...

 Now I have to fear being kicked for clicking a flag before someone in my group does.  

The flags should work like the totems for RG--they should be applied to everyone in the group. (what ernz said, I just scrolled up and saw his comment )

Part of the problem is the delay from the pop up window blocking other loot bags when you're trying to pick them up.

...anyway.  yes an "all hell breaks loose" weekend would be fun, but all bosses, not just raid/world.  the only safe zones should be the inside of buildings as they will roam around freely.  

I know that you're releasing the summer event, so this is bad timing on my part, but...

I'd love to have world events where the whole community has to come together to solve a problem and is rewarded for how much effort they've put into it.

For instance, a strange meteor has fallen from the sky and is releasing a caustic gas.  The community needs to uses pickaxes to break it away before all humanity is killed. Maybe this meteor will randomly spawn creatures that can be killed for a weapon upgrade reward for 24 hours or a 2%-5% permanent upgrade damage bonus. (Like spawn demented developers who attack us for a little revenge and we have to fight them back to their planet--we all know a zombie L3fty or body-snatched Anakiro might like to beat the crap out of some of us).  If the community succeeds at the end of the week, they're rewarded with awesomeness.  If they fail, I guess nothing lol.

That's a crappy example but without stealing ideas from other games, it was the best I could come up with off the top of my head.  One game had a giant cake that the whole community had to eat.  It took a week or two to actually eat the whole thing.  In the end, the whole world was awarded double experience for a weekend and those that did the most work, were rewarded with extra prizes.  

This would differ from seasonal events in that the whole community has to work together and not necessarily in groups, just side by side, working together.  It wouldn't be like the hulking troll where whoever hits first gets the reward.  This is a major world event.  No tank, no healer needed, no groups needed. And all levels are invited to participate.  

to get my spell bar extended out?  Just like three more spaces out or another row?  Money?  Everlasting gratitude?  I'll be your best friend.  You have the power...  

I've fallen into the void in Sirunax.  Now you sort of see me...

Now you don't...

There are safe zones virtually everywhere.  I died yesterday in TR because I decided to read about Caitlyn Jenners's lifestyle choices in the middle of my run. It happens.  If you summon a void elemental or wolf and set them to aggressive, they'll attack enemies close to you. 

 I'm still waiting on my invisibility potion to be created.

A final tier that trumps all those hybrid weapons/classes.  After all, that's what you did to the pure classes by introducing the them in the first place. 

and I'll gladly pay 10 silver for this to happen too!

I don't know if anyone's noticed, but there is a serious lack of templars.  It's frustrating as heck trying to get any sort of run. I wouldn't be surprised if the remaining tanks that are running dungeons go on strike.  Part of the reason for this is the lack of incentive to raise a tank.  Yes, the costs have gone down but it's crazy boring to try to level one up.  Templars have to spam buttons while dealing low damage, they have to consistently hold aggro at all times while the dps run to the bathroom or eat a cookie while their Taco Bell gets cold, you name it.  They don't have any super amazing AOE skills or hold aggro skills...no wonder no one wants to be one. Something needs to be done.  Like a serious overhaul of this class.

In the meantime, while you all contemplate what could make this class more appealing, I think you should have NPC tanks that will allow tankless groups to purchase a rent-a-temp for a run for a specified amount of EP or something.  

I'm super shy so I won't advertise myself needing help.  You can only guess how many ICC runs I've been on.  It rhymes with shoe and they weren't even completed fully. 

thanks hcs!

I'm gonna say something that might get you guys mad, but farming is supposed to be slow... In reality you have to wait months to harvest, so in comparison this seems pretty quick.

True, it is.  However, since I'd sooner gouge my eyes out with a dull pencil than sit there and farm, something could be done to make it a bit more enjoyable.  I'd rather leave the plots and come back later to full crops because even RL farmers don't stand there forever--a watched pot doesn't boil after all.  

I'm going with whatever suggestion makes it less painful. (I think we suggested this a year or so ago along with fishing suggestions?  I doubt they're worried about the state of our eyeballs.)
