Looks like A-Net doesn't hate Cantha so much after all.

I wish events lasted all week long, I'm usually out of town (and away from my computer) on the weekends.

Oh, sweet. Finally, a chance to get a Canthan mask! (I'm usually out of town 4th of July).

Mleh. Same old shitty games. Can't say I'm thrilled. I'll make an appearance to get the mask, but that's it.

It wouldn't kill Anet to come up with original little events instead of running us through the same shit every year.

They removed loot scaling from most of Shing Jea Island. So you can just kill massive numbers of Mantid and get a drop every kill.

It's an annual event. Do you expect them to make up a new annual event every year? That would get very hectic, very fast.

Meh, what do you expect at this point? GWEN is less than two months away, I think they're pretty busy with that.

Total noob question, but where can I get that Mask in your Avatar?

damned if they do damned if they don't...they don't have to do anything for you especially since you don't actively pay them money every month.

ungrateful pissants imo

I missed this event the first time...didn't have factions back then. So I'm looking forward to this one.

I've participated in festivals but I haven't been to a Dragon Festival yet. It's new to me so if it's okay with people who are bored with it, I'd like to go and have a good time.

I'm very disappointed in ANET using the same Fury, Grasps, and other monsters with this years Dragon Festival. Last years festival was unique as prepared the lore for Nightfall. It would have been great if they had prepared the lore for GWEN. I was sincerely hoping for a different surprise.

but hey new Hats!

where did they announce what the festival would contain? Did you travel to the future or something because it sounds like you're writing in the past tense when talking about this year's Dragon Festival...

All we know is that the Boardwalk and the Dragon Arena will return...no details of the quests have been released...for all we know it will introduce stuff in preparation for GW:EN...I'm hoping we'll see some destroyers or something...

just wait and see...

Ever tested it? No? That's what I thought. It's been tested, and the evidence suggests strongly that they removed loot scaling from at least the early parts of Shing Jea, Istan, Pre-Searing, and even a small part of Old Ascalon. The thing is, it's only inactive in Normal Mode.

So don't go calling me dumb when I happen to have done testing on it.

I suspect he was calling you dumb as the idea of farming mantids for their pitiful drops is hardly a method of gaining money. Of course I could be wrong.

ooohh...hadn't seen that yet...looks like they're setting it up to relive the events with re-enactments...but who says there won't be surprises we don't know about...nice earthquake...fissues opening up in the ground...maybe some appearances by the destroyers, asura, norn, etc.

This kind of event is ideal for promoting upcoming stuff...why WOULDN'T they use it...

I had factions last time around but that was a particularly hard week for me at work...didn't get in game at all...
