Around the corner is Canthan New Year and personaly I felt like it was sorta, lacking better word, blah. It was somewhat fun, but at the same time seem sorta lacking. What thing would you think would add to the event? I would enjoy seeing the following changes:
Opening boardwalk games + dragon arena (yes launching the pig into a bucket of water is fun for 10g, but it does get old after the first time)
Add lucky/unlucky points to Paper Rock Scissors mini game
Offically say what lucky aura does, and if it does nothing, give it a effect (for example mb give 1 lucky point for every kill made with it in effect)
Better explaination of the scavanger hunt for the player who didn't attend last year event.
Things you would like to see during Canthan New Year
Shadowmoon
Symeon
If last year was the Celestial Pig... it must be the Celestial Rat this year.
I wonder if they'll still have the feast?

Mini-Jahai rat here we come!

I'd like to see quests like the Rift Warden quests at LA and Kamadan. Why not exploit the UW and FoW from the Oriental Point of View? It'd be great.

i want to see some creme brule's awarded from repeatable quests or items to get them in large quantities from collectors... also 3 mins booze such as firewaters or... more eggnogg? :\

Yes, what *does* lucky aura do? I feel lucky.
If we can't have a nerf bat war, or a canthan funeral for gw 1.4... then I vote:
- missions which give hints as to what will happen to cantha in gw 2.0 (we know cantha closes itself off)
- a new game
- a extra-cool hat to make up for the extremely lame ones from Wintersday. (p.s., that ice crown makes me think of Jeff Bridges from Dumb and Dumber with a burger king crown on... seriously! The hairs the same!)
- a chance to get an emote or new dance (my mesmer needs a new dance!)

I want an event without LAG

The presents shouldn't randomly spawn.. I hate it when you have a bunch of campers just waiting to pick up the presents the second they spawn.
Squishy ftw

I'm in serious need of booze.

Dragon Arena.
Ouchie
It would be nice if the chefs would give you a gift for your donation to the feast.
Guess it is time to collect odd collectable items and stick them in storage.
We have 1 month right?

i dont care, just as long as it isnt a littany of fail like wintersday, as in, no lag, no cruel jokes, no spontaneously disappearing event item trade-in npcs, just a little thought and consideration this time plz
Croco Clouds
I want something new.
I MP I
A mini rat that spreads disease and can only be used in pve. Seriously on my want list.
Dark-NighT
I want something truely EPIC and something usefull to all, a miniture would be cool but seriously not really something to celebrate canthan new year with, I want fireworks all over the place, really everywhere in cantha there should be fireworks and not just the now bot infested monastary.
Anet, make this new year something truely fun, and make an exceptional HAT, a really nice one, probably animated and dyeable, something fun.
Seriously we would like a great event, wintersday was kinda cool and i still enjoy the decorated citys but the lagg killed it prettymuch, and instead of decorating Lions Arch, which is utterly pointless, decorate Kaineng, House zu heltzer and Cavalon instead, its their party, not tyria's.

Oh lets see .... How about Cantha invaded by monsters and burned to the Ground? Oh wait that's already happened.
How about replacing all of the afflicted creatures with Giant Rats? Instead of exploding they spread disease on contact and are immune to disease as well?

Darn!
2 new sets of armour - or save up the money to waste it on the Rings!?
It's a tough one!

Dragon Arena and a Miniature Rat. Won't be needing more than that.
slowerpoke
a mini rat ;3
Brodie Nooch
Open Shing Jea Boardwalk with some new games of chance.
wakimon
bubonic plague (im bad at spelling)
Snograt
A rat - that snogs!
Heh, seriously though - I'd like to see a trader that exchanges alcohol for sweets (and vice versa). On my way to GWAMM I intend to shoot for the Sweet Tooth title, but I don't have the time to spare for the soul-destroying Drunkard grind. Got loads of alcohol left over from Wintersday that will likely just be donated to my drunken friend :/

Stop dreaming for some ppl lol, yea mini rat should be there...
super strokey
Id like a board walk game where there is lots of options. I want to have games that I can play for hours and not just paly by being afk. real games would be nice, AFK is alright too but only for title hunters.
Big_Daddy
OMG, I remember that I STILL have 4 mini pigs left from last year's festivities. Not even my guildies wanted one as a gift. 
SerenitySilverstar
Yeah, mini rat would be rocking awesomeness
More Booze plx!
The treasure hunt for the feast ingredients was fun, and occupied a lot of time. What sort of quest/hunt could we do to appease the rat? Nest building operations? Magpie glittery stuff?

Around the corner as in how far around the corner yet ?
Far as events I enjoyed gathering the items for the feast last year and perhaps they could mix up the required items for added fun or add new content based on the year ( year of the rat ) and completing the quest series would quailfy you for the mini-pet if they award one. I would like to see something done about the lagg that is usually asociated with the events as well. It pretty much killed the finale for Wintersday.

A dyeable mask that doesn't suck.
And Dragon Arena. And Rollerbeetle Racing.

Chinese New Year is Feb 7 this year.
I LOVE the mask from last year. The Lion Mask is my favourite of all masks - it's so intricate. I hope they have something as awesome as that one was.
Dragon Arena, rollerbeetle, oh my!
