People who got many minipigs from last year but keep them all to themselves = Profit this year with chances to sell the minipigs at an inflated price + chances to get this year's reward. People who didn't get the minipig at the event but were greedy and beg for a lot of free minipigs = Profit as above. It's just a game. I know. But if this were up to you, would you create SUCH dilemma for your players? Aren't there any better ways to handle the whole thing? Lesson learned from Anet = Don't be generous in Guild Wars. You never know what kind of slap you will get later. |

Again, RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO you.

Give me the mini rat at the end of the festival like last year(they shouldn't cost an arm and a leg, they should be cheap and accessible) and find the developer for the hush, hush Mini Polar Bear debacle and (I'm sure he came up with this multiple pig transfer thing as well) and quickly escort him/her from the premises. I know the Lunar things will give a chance(I don't trust the percentages on lockpicks, why is this percentage going to be different) at a mini but come on last year I went through like 500 lunar whatevers and I didn't get a single mini pig.
I haven't been this upset with something going on in this game since the original "Dragon Festival" that was Factions owners only. The loot scaling situation was upsetting but this just doesn't make sense to me. I like every other good community GW member passed on all of my extra mini's to guildies who couldn't make the event or didn't play GW at the time. Thanks for trying to penalize those playing in the "right frame of mind" and awarding again those playing on the scamming borderline. Is it any wonder that there have been so many different exploits lately. Those individuals are being encouraged while the rest of us are being alienated. Ok my rant is over but seriously fix this before friday please!!! |

Players are excited about today's announcement of the upcoming Canthan New Year Festival. You will note that we have extended the event to run through Noon Pacific time on Monday, so there's a bit of extra holiday joy to be had during this weekend celebration. Here are additional tidbits of information you might like to know:
* The Lion Mask (not the Dragon Mask, not the Tengu Mask) is the traditional headgear of the Canthan New Year. The mask will not change for the Canthan New Year Festival this year (or any other, I assume) because it is not the "end of event" gift. Unlike other festivals, the mask is something for you to acquire and enjoy during the festival. * The Miniature Celestial Rat will be available only from Lunar Fortunes. You will not receive the miniature at the end of the event. (Naturally, you can trade for the mini.) * The drop rate from the Lunar Fortunes has been increased over last year's Miniature Pig drop rate. * The special reward for exchanging a number of Miniature Pigs from last year is only available through an exchange, it will not be given at the end of the event or through fortunes. (Naturally, you can trade for the mini.) * Miniature Pigs accepted in trade my be dedicated or may be undedicated; that does not matter to the collector who is offering the trade. * The quantity of Miniature Pigs needed to successfully complete a trade is named, by the Design Team, as, officially, "more than two and fewer than a dozen." ![]() * This year, there is a new end-of-event gift that I think you'll enjoy. It's not quite like anything else in the game. * Jade Wind Orbs are defunct and are no longer useful. * Lunar Tokens are useful; they are the reward that you receive for the events and activities during the Canthan New Year Festival. You can also turn in Victory Tokens, as both collectors will be in place for the duration of the weekend, but the Lunar Tokens are this weekend's collectible item. * Note: The Lunar Token Collector will close his shop and disappear for the year on Monday at Noon Pacific time. Please exchange your tokens before that time, or save them until next year. * The Rollerbeetle Racing event will reward the top placers with special prizes. Speak to the NPCs to learn more. * The festival "finale" will run throughout Sunday, Pacific time, from 12:01 AM until 11:59 PM Pacific time. Rollerbeetle Racing, Shing Jea Boardwalk, and other events will be in place another 12 hours, through Noon Pacific on Monday. However, the finale -- and the chance to score the end-of-event gift -- is available only on Sunday. (All times are -8 GMT.) * In the meantime, I've been asked about the recipes, and I can't say if they have changed or have not changed, but I'd lean towards the latter. In that case, you can learn the recipes and get details on where to find the ingredients on the official wiki page for the Canthan New Year page from last year. |

ANET gave away tons of mini pigs. Some of us were really nice and gave away our mini pigs to those that didn't have any. Now there is a collector for them, and those that gave away their mini pigs to others that were not at the event or who had losing districts are here without mini pigs because we were kind. All those people we gave them to are selling them for...get this... 100k! 100K! WTF? Nice people finish last. Not only do we lose out on any money (which is fine, that was why we gave them away), but now we can't get the new mini using the pig. I call BS on this one, big stinky piles of BS. |
