Does anyone wish that the day of the tengu would return. Personally I disliked the birthday bash event of last year, no quests, no masks. I wish the Birthday event would include the Day of the Tengu festivities. Probably replace the naga fangs with victory tokens similar to jade wind orbs with the dragon festival. Just wondering what the general comunity thinks, do they also feel that this event should be return for lore reasons.

I didn't participate in it so I don't miss it. But if it was brought back without conditions, I wouldn't mind having it then.

I felt it was kinda stupid to have an exclusive event like that for a pre-order.

I would support a revival of the Day of the Tengu if it fit into the lore. I wish I could get a chance to obtain the Tengu Mask.

Put a couple of NPC's in Shing Jea monastery to give quests, add grinding for Naga Fangs like Jade Orbs, and an ugly mask at the end. That's what it was like.

promotionnal event for preordering faction
so if u didn't don't cry, anyway you just missed the most disturbing looking mask in all event (with demon mask also lol)
The main interest with this event was to play faction 1 day before official head start (altought we had the preview event before)

Well i'm always good for new extra events, but this one was for us who preordered, so keep it exclusive.

Oh, and... the Tengu mask was so fugly... the Demon Mask isn't ugly, it makes you look like a headcrab zombie from HL2. Most of the devs at ANET love HL2 and Valve.

I REALLY want the mask, really hate that there was an entire event that I missed, but I didn't preorder Factions, so nothin' I can do.

I wish there was another one, though. I love Tengu.

Never seen it. Can't miss it.

But I do agree that they could bring it back.

In the same way some people have access to the BMP before others, they could bring this back.

It doesn't even need to give a mask, and if it gives one, there are other tengu to make mask from other than the Aerie: Avicara, Sensali, Celestial...

It is a waste to create an event like that one to be made only once and only for a few.

Getting access in advance to something is also a bonus that can be paid.
Making access exclusive when you can never again get into there is always a mistake.

I missed the event due to a school trip down to NYC, lasting from 6AM to 11PM, but I would not say that they should have another, it's my fault I missed it, only event I've ever missed.

The completionist part of me says, "Yes, I want a fairly unattractive mask dammit!!!1!". -- Pre-ordered the game only to have it arrive a week and a half after general release...

Thankfully overriding those kind of thoughts is my middle-aged apathetic core, replying, "Meh..."

Fight the "Meh!"

The Completion musn't be stopped!
We are The Completion, resistance is futile.

Hm... it would be cool to have a borg-like enemy in GW...

Everyone wants the Tengu mask, but then when you get it you're like ''Meh'' and never wear it. It's nothing special.

What I want to see is Gwen burning everyone like in Beta of prophecies, but of course us no-goers will never see that day personally. I did attend the Tengu event, It wasn't really anything special.

Some things you just can't have, gotta live with it.

As for having it again - It was designed for a specific event, so having it again wouldn't really be fitting.

Nobody wears any of the masks because they have 0 armor. That, for starters, should be changed before we see need in reintroducing old masks.

Yeah, I reckon I miss it. I was there on the day, and got the mask, but... well, Tengu are the best race in GW, in my not-humble-at-all opinion. If we're not getting them as a playable in GW2, we should at least have something to remember them by.

(Its my pet peeve that their introducing generic elf race instead of keeping the Tengu, a unique (I have yet to see a playable bird race in a popular game) race)

Getting there before no one else can also be considered exclusivity.

For example, the BMP. Those that entered the promotion could see and play it much before the rest.
That was also exclusivity.

That can be applied to the whole guild wars:
- Those that made elite missions sooner than others.
- Those that got rare skins before others.
- Those that where in the beta...

It's much fair to reduce the exclusivity to "I enjoy it for a year or two and you not, and then anyone can enjoy it, when I get other exclusive stuff to enjoy before others".
Like getting second-hand stuff.
You let other use your old car when you get a new shiny one.

Much fairer.

It's in the wiki.

Basically you gather naga fans or something like that, make some quests and get a mask for that.

Ain't it funny how this game is full of stuff that people want but do not need and the complaining that goes with it as they think it's unfair that the "have's" have and the "have not's" do not.

Seems like some players want GW to be like a communist society where every player is identical. The first person to do or get something automatically qualifies every other player for the same thing. Meh.

Let the masks go. If you didn't get one, so what? Life goes on.

Would have been nice to have continued with that festival but doubt it will happen.

More interested in the gw2 festivals which I hope are based on our joint achievements in gw.
