The website said that the rollerbeetle racing will have it's own set of skills.
Maybe it will be similar to Mario Kart?

Meh.... The helmets sound more lame this time than dragon helms of before. I really wanted one of those, but unfortunately its before my time... -_-;
Not only that but I got rid of (trashed) my halloween pumpkin just before I realised it could be saved for later duplication... so I don't have that any more either. To be honest though the pumpkin looked rather retarded. I wish I'd got Nightfall before halloween to get the witch hats....
Ok.... all that is quite irrelevant.
I'm still hoping that the festival thing will be fun.... even if the hats this time are essentially dog-lion-thingies.

But yeh, I am excited. Sounds fun. Too bad celestial tourney starts same day... GRRR, decisions!

Meh.... How many races would one have to participate in to get the Skillz title? .... What about Mad Skillz? .... I'm expecting its a lot, as I've only seen the second rank twice since Wintersday.
Rodhin Kinning
I've seen one rank 3 Skillz and sorry I dont have a screenshot of it but I think we might see a few if its close to or more then the snowball fights. I might even jump in and gain some more points sense all I have is 310. *sighs*
And even more off topic my wife thought the title Skillz was funny and told me that I didnt need the title because she already thought I had skillz. But I turned to her and told her with a commpletly straight face. "But Hun they dont Know I have SKILLZ!" *chuckles*
Oh and back on topic I am really looking forward to this event.

Better start practicing for RollerBeetle Races
kaheiyeh
Ah what do you know, an event on my birthday! Rollerbeetle races sound really sweet, no doubt you'll see me alot in it. I also see tons of money lost at the betting games ...
I'm thinking that we might see some spoilers into Chapter 4. (We had some at the Dragon Festival of Nightfall.)

They seem to be making a pretty big deal about the fortune teller.. I wonder if there will be real repercussions from your fortune.

For you racing fans, make your way to the rollerbeetle racing arena and sign up for the next available race. You will be outfitted in your very own rollerbeetle racer, complete with its own set of racing skills. Races will run...er roll...all weekend long as players compete for prizes, bragging rights, and the chance at one of fifty special prizes for the top times posted throughout the event.~guildwars.com
So, what do you think the prizes will be??
I personally think it with a mini-pet (flying pig to be exact)
and maybe Anet might to this every year with a new mini-pet corresponding the the Chinese Zodiac Calender

An idea for a minigame, maybe :P
Though the Canthan New Year looks like it's going to be great! Tyria and Elona seem to get most of the fun, so it's nice that Cantha will be getting another unique festival (I'm hoping that the Dragon Festival will return to Cantha this year too as I missed it last year).
duncan99
Do we get the gambling games like 9/16 circles again? want so waste my gold on it lol

I just noticed that this event coincided perfectly with the celebration of the Year of the Pig in China.
Could this mean... dare I say it... that every year, the event changes to match the Oriental New Year celebration?

The event page says each year they worship the animal that is supposed to protect them the upcoming year.

Is there going to be booze? I think the fortune sounds cool, probably something like "you're going to get killed for no reason" then you die for no reason.

The rollerbeetle race sounds great. Who wants to bet the 50 special prizes will be....the much wanted rollerbeetle minipet?
shmek
Yes, this is all fun and I will have some of it myself........... HOWEVER, I would gladly trade this fun for fixes in bugs that still exist since the game was conceived...........FRAK!!!
We get nerf nerf nerf on skills to PvE instead of dividing PvE from PvP if PvP needs a balance (does it really...after a year of a skill need to be dorked with?) What we don't get is simple graphic fixes like the midrif of ritualists, memory leaks, and many many other bug fixes.
Keep the masses entertained and distracted so we can pump out the next expansion seems to be the big mantra.
Nothing against keeping the shortsighted nutjobs entertained in order to make a buck, but some commitment to the game in it's entirety would greatly be appreciated by many longer term players hoping to be able to stay with the game for many more years to come.
/done
....next some sort-sighted one is going to detail how we don't pay for updates without realizing they pay in more crafty ways then they can understand.
