rxtracid, the "ball" is a Lightning Orb, which has a fairly slow arc. The trick is to wait until the opponent's almost finished casting, then to sidestep once it's locked on to a fixed arc.

if I had a choice, I'll play Nightfall but this is something that may get me to play the game again before nightfall's release.

I'm not going to give up on you, not yet. I still believe that you'll come to the game next weekend and you'll have fun and you'll completely forget the negative thoughts.
Or maybe not.
But you can be sure, no matter what, the rest of us will be having a blast! Whack a Wyrm, anyone?

Cheers to Games! The wyrm thing was awesome, and I'd love to cheat with my red bean cake...hahahah
Sir Skullcrasher
Have any MMORPG offered so many special events like A-Net does.. none!
So stop with all this negative comments and let have some fun?

Gee, I'm glad I didn't read page 2 before my first post!
Personally, I'm not going for those titles, so I'm ambivilant about the thing. But it blows my mind that there are people who are actually whining that the opportunity to advance their title quest isn't good enough!!!!
I have one word to say to you whiners: QUITCHERBICHIN.

I cant wait to compete in ANets biggest money sink (aka festival games). Everyone complaining about the economy should cheer for them: The amount of gold drained from GW during that weekend will be huge. So either spend the money and enjoy your title like I do, or laught at the fools spending money for the title and reap the benefits of less inflation. Either way you win.

I just ordered a new heatsink and processor cooler to have my PC in top shape for extended bouts of AFK-ing.
Bring it on!
Bring it on!

Cool I can't wait. I can finally get some more tickets for my titles. I reckon that the Festival Games are for a Cantha only event and that Halloween is going to be a Tyria only event. YAY for linked accounts!

Who at ANet thought it was a good idea to come up with change-of-pace activities that wouldn't be permanent additions to the game? Are you all that concerned about people not playing the game if you actually left stuff like this in the game permanently? That's pretty much the overlying issue that I am interested in hearing more about. Sometimes I can't help but think ANet is satisfied with the lack of variety of activities in the world that are there on a day-to-day basis, and that worries me.
Different = good. Permanent = good. Same monotonous fighting for overfarmed, unwanted stuff = sleep-inducing.
Don't get me wrong. I like the idea of these special festival-type events. I just think that some of the ideas ANet comes up with for event activities could also be well-served if placed in the game permanently in some fashion or other as well. Something different, if available, would help break the monotony of WTS spam and farming the same explorable area 5x straight.
With all that said, I'm looking forward to this. I hope we'll be able to go for Dragon helmets again. I missed out last time.

Woot-age, sounds like fun Thanks Arena-Net.

I'm just hoping I can use up the 500+ jade wind orbs I've still got in storage from the last event. I just couldn't bring myself to throw them away.
MSecorsky
I still have tickets left over from last time... couldn't bring myself to get rid of them.
Now me giddy!

How I dodge plz? <--- noob. "Woah...all my skillz R gone!?" "What is DragonBlast?" <--- noob...
Ahh...the good times had by all in the Dragon Arena. This little "highly addictive" game could have got me fired as much as I played it. Boss key FTW! I'm "very" /excited that this thing is back. Going for a new cons-win record. <--- n00b
You nay-sayers and complainers just need to giveitup plz. How about appreciating things a little more?
And props to Gaile for breaking her routine and making that comment! I personally like my cereal hard and crunchy. soggy corn flakes FTL!

Anet nerfs, people complain
Anet does not give enough content, people complain
Anet does not give updates, people complain
Anet gives updates, people complain
Anet tries to make people happy, people complain
Anet brings back the festival games (which i enjoyed very much) because people wanted them back, people complain
Anet releases a new chapter and people are still complaining
Like any other game, producers can never please the crowd...

But again, factions only - as if that wasn't to be expected.
Wonder how many ppl have asked about events in prophecies over the last few months?
I won't point this out to guildies or friends who don't notice it on website - guild chat will be unbearable.
Fun for a lot to be sure, but not having stuff in prophecies has P'd off some I'm sure.
Anyway, for those who will participate have fun - as that is what it is for.
ign - Huntress Velasca - and a bunch more

Hi all, I agree that it was a fun event, and I like that it is for Factions only, but why are we having Dragon event games outside of the Dragon festival? What becomes of the actual Dragon festival after this event? I am all for a bit of fun, but why have the games outside of the festival? Should we have Wintersday games but not the festival in March?

So with that let's invade district and "Let's Get 'Em". Wrong event but oh well
Desires
I think this has more to do with draining gold from the economy before nightfall comes out. They already took greens out of the picture now on to the gold stocks >_>.

Like any casino or carnie game they can only take as much as your willing to give.
So here's a slogan that's used by Washington for the state Lotto "Be a smart player: know your limit."
