Hi

Considering the high point requirements for both the Lucky and Unlucky titles, please consider manking November "Lucky Month" by bringing the ring games back to LA, Shing Jea, et al.

I've stood on the rings during the entirety of every event you presented them to us during with the exception of one - I was on travel - and am not quite to level 5 on either title yet. I would love to be able to complete these before GW 2.

Thanks!

In any case, after r3 it makes more economic sense to max lucky by using lockpicks to open normal mode chests, you can do that all year round and have a chance to get something valuable back instead of just throwing the gold away.

Can you max the titles in a week by opening chests, compared to 24/7 afk rings?

The "economic sense" is a very subjective matter. Saving a couple of gold pieces per hour is not worth the time. If the difference meant saving 80-90% of the cost, then perhaps. But anything else, and it's not worth it.

You can also max the drunkard title by running snowman dungeon. It makes a lot of economic sense.

personally i'd prefere somtihngh like gold drops gave you lucky points or little tihngs like that as a whole month long thing (i'll feel that i'd have to reach title) but if it doesnt cause lag i wouldn't be opposed to it.

i dont do the boardwalk event any more, stops me from playing

QFT.

The lag would be horrible, causing many people to not want to play (or even can't play) for a month because people are AFKing a title.

Agreed with the reasons for no. Maybe a single weekend, or maybe even two, but not an entire month.

It's not like the game represents much anymore anyway, I'm hardly playing anymore because it's more Grind Wars than Guild Wars these days.

But more lag is never a good plan, /notsigned

This makes a lot of economic sense but the time needed is enormous .

First will need to do it in HM

You have 7 drops that can drop.

You will have the drops of Eggnog, Fruitcake, Peppermint Candy Cane,Rainbow Candy Cane, Spiked Eggnog, Wintergreen Candy Cane,Yuletide Tonic. You will get 2 drops a run

Possible options

Eggnog, Fruitcake
Eggnog, Peppermint Candy Cane
Eggnog, Rainbow Candy Cane
Eggnog, Spiked Eggnog
Eggnog, Wintergreen Candy Cane
Eggnog, Yuletide
Eggnog, Eggnog
Fruitcake, Peppermint Candy Cane
Fruitcake, Rainbow Candy Cane
Fruitcake, Spiked Eggnog
Fruitcake, Wintergreen Candy Cane
Fruitcake, Yuletide
Fruitcake, Fruitcake
Peppermint Candy Cane, Peppermint Candy Cane
Peppermint Candy Cane, Rainbow Candy Cane
Peppermint Candy Cane, Spiked Eggnog
Peppermint Candy Cane, Wintergreen Candy Cane
Peppermint Candy Cane,Yuletide
Rainbow Candy Cane, Rainbow Candy Cane
Rainbow Candy Cane, Spiked Eggnog
Rainbow Candy Cane, Wintergreen Candy Cane
Rainbow Candy Cane, Yuletide
***Spiked Eggnog, Spiked Eggnog***
Spiked Eggnog, Wintergreen Candy Cane
Spiked Eggnog, Yuletide
Wintergreen Candy Cane, Wintergreen Candy Cane
Wintergreen Candy Cane, Yuletide
Yuletide,Yuletide

You would want to get Spiked Eggnog, Spiked Eggnog for the most efficient way of maxing out the title.

So you have 1/28 Chance of getting that.

You need 10,000 minutes to max out the title. You get 3 minutes for 1 Spiked Eggnog. 10,000/3=3,334 Spiked Eggnogs needed. But if you get 2 Spiked Eggnogs every time you need to run 3,334/2=1,667 Runs . A run take ruffly is 15-20 minutes. 1,667*15=25,005 minutes. 25005/60 416.75 hours and 416.75/24 *****17.36 days(Fastest way possible)***** And that is if you get them every run you do. If you have bad luck and have the 1/28 chance of getting 2 Spiked Eggnogs then you will have to then it will take you 28 times longer 17.36*28=486.20day of playing time.

I know I am not taking in the account of the regular eggnogs. So you would actually have a 13/28 chance of getting an alcoholic beverage from doing this run. But this is for doing the drunkard title the fastest, and taking between 17.36-486.2 days to get the drunkard title by farming lair of forgotten snowmen this is in no mean a time saver but it is very economic. You are better farming gold somewhere and use the money earned to buy your drunkurd title.

But for the topic of this thread i think they need to do is have a week of ring games and also double or event triple lock pick retaining points.

I've got a better idea, let's remove the lucky and unlucky titles.

If Anet decides to do that, which they won't, I can see it now.

Boardwalk will be open, and there will be 10,000 plus on one ring each afk.
