Hi everyone! The day of OpenCommunity's third birthday is fast approaching, and celebrations are definitely in order! So what is the Community Weekend? The Community Weekend celebration is a two-day event packed extravaganza of crazy, fun events, challenges, competitions, and some good old fashioned world boss slaying! All regularly scheduled events are off for the two days, and are instead replaced with Quaggan Hunts, Hide & Seek, Fashion Wars, and more! When/where does it happen? The official date of the Community Birthday is May 1st! Since it's a Tuesday, we're going to mark the occasion with a Tipsy Triple Trouble event at the regular TT time at 21:30 CEST while holding the celebration on the next weekend! So, the Community Weekend event happens on Saturday & Sunday, the 5th and 6th of May! We usually start gathering and hanging out at around 13:00 CEST, and start the events officially at 14:00 CEST with a Triple Trouble to get nicely warmed up, and continue from there! You can join us at any time during the day, hop onto our TeamSpeak (ts.theopencommunity.org) and join in with the fun! The event is held on our TeamSpeak! What kind of events are there? Are there any requirements to join? Will there be prizes? There are all kinds of events happening (see full schedule below). We do our best to serve a mixed bag of all sorts of events, so that everyone gets to participate in something fun! We plan out the events so that they require minimal to no world exploration, setting locations in Lion's Arch or racial capitals, or areas adjacent to those! Coming on a level 80 character is recommended, but for most events it is not required! And yes! There will be prizes! Lots and lots of shiny prizes! How can I support the event? There are many ways to support the event! You can tell your friends, guildies, pets, and sentient plants about it, and invite them along! You can also donate in-game prizes to increase our prize pool for the weekend! You can mail anything you think would help as a prize to Lelling.6795 or Ellyxina.5023! Anyone donating prizes in value of 5g or more (either items or currency) will be entered into a prize raffle! So what's the event schedule? Here is the full event schedule.

untilWe love jumping puzzles - they're a classic GW2 feature of tears and toil, and what's more fun than that? Join us for a fun Jumping Puzzle contest - we promise we wont pick the hard ones! All the contestants will be put on a level playing field, so don't worry if you don't have perma-swiftness or mounts as they wont come into play for the race! Level requirement: N/A Location: Secret

untilThe Three-Headed Great Jungle Wurm terrorizes the jungle! But we're ready to terrorize it back! The Vigil Crusaders are ready and waiting for the armies of Tyrian heroes to march into the Wurm's domain and slay the giant creature. The Triple Trouble event is a fast-paced, high-intensity event where three teams must coordinate their efforts to slay the three heads of the Wurm at the same time. Due to the large number of split-second decisions, TeamSpeak is required. No experience with the event is required, all tactics & mechanics are explained beforehand. Level Requirement: 60 (80 recommended) Location: Bloodtide Coast

The Vigil Crusaders are ready and waiting for the armies of Tyrian heroes to march into the Wurm's domain and slay the giant creature.

untilHide and Seek is very straightforward - very much a what it says on the tin type event! Our Commanders will hide in one of Tyria's maps, and it's up to everyone else to find them! Finding a Commander earns you a prize! Commanders will always be in accessible locations (no gliding, no map breaking, no items or teleportation), and will give out hints when enough time has elapsed so the game is always fair and fun!

untilThere's something in the water! It's a shoulder piece, boots, leggings, and a fancy scarf. Don't worry, these aren't the remains of a fallen hero, this is just a sign of a good old Naked Tequatl party! Who even needs armor to defeat Zhaitan's champion? Throw away those clothes and let's party in the Sparkfly Fen! Zhaitan's champion, Tequatl, terrorizes Sparkfly Fen. The Hylek and Vigil forces have banded together to protect the coast and fight off the encroaching undead! The event features a world boss of moderate difficulty. Three to four teams defend the special objectives while fighting the boss in several phases. Requirements: Level 66 (80 recommended) Sparfly Fen reached (Splintered Coast Waypoint / Brooloonu Waypoint)
-
untilTrue to its name, Guild Fashion Wars is not a battle against the dragons, it's a battle against your friends and guildies' wardrobe choices! Who will be Tyria's next Top Model? Prepare your finest couture and dazzle both the audience and the judges! Note that riches aren't required to charm your audience - even rags can make a winning outfit! Whether it's the fiercest or the funniest look, bring your best and show everyone what you got! Level requirement: N/A Location: Lion's Arch
-
untilBelcher's Bluff is a minigame of drinking, bluffing, and - you guessed it - belching! It's a fun game and if past events are any indication, it can get surprisingly exciting when two players are neck and neck! Are you the ultimate Master of Om? Join us for a short Belcher's Bluff elimination-style competition where players compete in pairs of 1v1 until we crown a champion! Level Requirement: N/A Location: Lion's Arch

untilThe Shatterer is no challenge for such dedicated world boss slayers as us, and thus we challenge it to a fight wearing nothing but our birthday suits! "It's unlike anything we've ever seen before, huge, vicious, and powerful" ~Tactical Officer Smokemane Reborn again, The Shatterer descends upon Blazreridge Steppes, seeking opposition! We are that opposition! Join The Sentinels and The Vigil in their fight against Kralkatorrik's champion! The reworked Shatterer comes with all new fight mechanics (including a defiance bar and gliding platforms) and a bunch of lovely achievements. The fight itself is of moderate difficulty, but with a bit of coordination we should have no problems with it. Requirements: Level 50 (80 recommended) Blazeridge Steppes reached (Lowland Burns Waypoint)

untilAh, the Escort Quest - an RPG staple. Following around an NPC that moves way too slowly and keeps getting themselves into trouble is a classic MMO feeling, and what better way to relive it than to escort a defenseless, mountless friend from a starting area to a dangerous end-game zone as fast as possible without them dying? Participants will be grouped into groups of 4, and assigned one of our level 2 volunteers, who will then follow them around as they make their way to their goal! Level requirement: 80 Location: Secret
-
untilCooking in GW2 is one of the most diverse and tasty-looking in-game professions of any MMO, so what better way to celebrate it than by throwing a massive cook-off? The Bake Off is an event where participants get to practice their creativity with the Chef crafting profession. Contestants will be asked to submit dishes based on certain criteria, with the goal of creating the most unique menu in Tyria! On your marks, get set, BAKE! Note: Use of the trading post is allowed, and the Chef crafting profession is not required! Level Requirement: N/A Location: Lion's Arch
-
untilDon your favorite costume, tonic or transformation, and let's race! Win fabulous prizes and have fun in a crazy race of quaggans, snowballs, and other assorted objects. The tonic race puts everyone on equal ground, as participants are transformed into tonics which disable their passive bonuses and prevent mounting! Transformed, racers must run through a series of checkpoints until they reach the finish line! Tonics will be provided! Level requirement: N/A Location: Secret

The event is a run through all of the Path of Fire Waypoints and Hero Points! Players can either bring new characters that have not been to the Crystal Desert yet, or come with those that are already veterans of the desert, as many of the Hero Challenges are repeatable and will give rewards even to those who have already completed them once before! Players do not have to have any waypoint in the area in advance. Requirements: Path of Fire Expansion Mounts: Raptor, Springer, Skimmer Recommended: Canyon Jumping Raptor Mount mastery and High Vault Springer Mount mastery.
