It says a return of the Festival Games (and Dragon arena) that were around during the Dragon Festival, not a return of the Dragon Festival itself. That is an annual event.

Maybe it's time for Anet to pop in Rujiyo again, for some real awards this time.

The Scribe says nothing about Masks or Jade orbs just Carnival and Dragon Arena.

Also keep in mind that the requirements for the maximum Ranks for these titles have been lowered. (1 mil tickets for Rank 5 Lucky, and 500,000 losses for Max Unlucky).

Of course, you'll assassinate your wallet either way. But these will assist in the acquisition of the "People Know Me" title.

3 Cartographer Titles, 3 Protector Titles, Max Rank Lucky, Max Rank Unlucky, and Incorrigble-Ale Hound would put you at 9. Plus, Nightfall promises several new titles.

Its just the festival games coming. Not the whole event. You can't really have two Dragon Festivals in one year now can you? Shiro didn't create the Jade Wind twice in one year.

This is just a clever way of saying "next weeks event is Dragon Games again".

Festival Games to Return to Shing Jea Monastery

I have received word of the most exciting news! If you were in attendance at the Dragon Festival—the annual celebration commemorating the survival of the Empire of the Dragon after the devastating Jade Wind—you will no doubt remember the extremely popular festival games that were held just outside the Shing Jea Monastery. According to my superiors at the monastery, those games will soon return for a short time, opening to the public in a little more than a week.

This is especially exciting for those who have been seeking the "Lucky" title, as well as those confused individuals who wish to earn the infamous "Unlucky" title, despite the cost and shame associated with it. Many have desired these titles for months and, without any games-of-chance to play, have been unable to make progress. This pleasant surprise is certain to be well received among title seekers.

Along with the return of the carnival games comes the reopening of the Dragon Arena. This competitive venue was extremely popular during the Dragon Festival, and fondly remembered in the following months. Offering atypical combat that forgoes the normal weapons and spells of war, the Dragon Arena appeals to the extremely competitive as well as to those simply seeking a good time.

When the games and arena open just over a week from now, they'll be available for a few days, so be sure and set aside some time to visit the Shing Jea Monastery and check out the festivities before they're gone again. Perhaps we will run into each other while enjoying the fun!

I liked the games of chance and the arena, but the true fun was the event itself and the mini-missions that ensued. I wonder if they will allow any orbs won to be traded in for a mask, or if that aspect is gone?

So.... why is the dragon festival back again? I'm confused that shiro only did this event once (killing the emperor and starting this whole mess in Cantha) Unless it's like that movie Caddyshack where Shiro turn back time and kill the emperor again and again and again!

Has it been definately confirmed that the max losses is still at 500k, or is it unknown to if it has changed? The luck title used to go from 250k to 2.5mill which is 10x more, just like the losses are 50k and 500k, suggesting maybe the unlucky one has changed just like the lucky one has, and gone to 200k? Im hoping it has as it would leave more money for ale..
