The Dragon Festival
Shiishii Momo
So, the Dragon Festival starts this weekend, concivibly it could be the last before GW2 comes out. My thoughts are we could see some sort of tie in this year to the dragons of GW2. I know that story will be taking place far into the Tyrian future, but it's not an instantaneous transition. Do I dare to dream they have the creativity for that, or will this be another depressive GWEN-like release. Any thoughts?

Why would it be the last before GW2?

Because from all we know beta id comming later this year and when GW2 comes out we don'y know if they will continue to update GW1

This Dragon Festival has already been announced to be the exact same as last year, save for the mask. Don't expect anything new (although it is possible, as wintersday was the same thing except for 1 thing, the snowman lair dungeons, so they might have something related to EN in there, but not GW2).

It'll be the same as last year. Same quests, same boardwalk games, same people standing around obtaining ranks in the Lucky/Unlucky title...
The only thing that'll be noticeably different is if a new mask will be obtainable at the end of it all. If not, then I can say "same dull mask".
However, anything regarding EotN variations of things... I can feel Ooze Pit being converted into some kind of Dragon Pit... most likely not...

I hope to continue playing GW1 long after GW2 comes out. By the way, I love playing GWEN.

Although we publically alpha- and beta-tested the original Guild Wars while it was still in early development, with Guild Wars 2 we will commence beta testing closer to the game's release. With that in mind, we will not start beta testing in 2008 as we had originally planned. Guild Wars 2 is a very large and ambitious game, and Guild Wars players rightfully have very high expectations of its quality. We want players to be absolutely blown away by the game the first time they experience it. |

Holy misleading batman! I thought by the name of the thread that this was to discuss something about the festival, but I find it is more speculation about GW2.
*sigh*
Come on people, just play GW1 and forget about GW2.

Seconded. I can see it now...two weeks after GW2 comes out people will be speculating about GW3.
I'm actually looking forward to the Dragon Festival. Yes, it is gonna be a rehash of a rehash, but at least it will be something a LITTLE bit different.

Those two quotes are my thoughts exactly with the GW community.

I'm expecting the same kind of festival that we've had for the past two years.

Last dragon festival before GW2? I wish.
It's probably going to be the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2009 before GW2 is released, and that's even a bit of a stretch.
The only new content we MIGHT see along with the dragon festival update is some skill balances and the HoM changes. I wouldn't expect anything else.

Really on topic thread. Thumbs up!
I've always liked the dragon festival. And from what you can lead out of the article on the website, and I quote: "a new demonic mask", you'd at least think it really would be a "new" mask.
I'm looking forward to this weekend, although sadly enough I can't come online a lot.

Could someone explain to me what all HAPPENS during the Dragon Festival?
I just got Factions like two weeks ago, and guildwiki doesn't explain much.

I enjoy all of the festivals. And yes those hints of dragons in GW2 are mighty inviting. But according to the release they just made it dosen't sound to me that we are going to be seeing GW2 untill at least 2009. So enjoy the festival and get a new demon mask, we will undoubtably be here next year too. Oh and don't forget to save all you chef items for that festival, and collectors items for Holloween and Christmas.

in before the lock lol.
There will be a new mask, as already has been posted.
Also, the yearly events will continue as long as GW1 is active. I believe they already said that. (I remember Gaile talking about it once or twice)

Similar event, but not the same. Scroll down to the dragon arena/rollerbeetles; they still apply.
Don't think he mentions anything on luck titles. See wiki for that.

If any is like me they have no Plan to move onto GW2 (expecially after what they did to GW1) so if they close the servers soon as GW2 is released i hope they have fun picking up more players, cus over 550 of my GW online freinds have said there not bothering with GW2 there gonna move onto another RPG/MMO or keep playing GW1.

It's just a way of getting a new mask and making money from selling sweets/party items etc. Do any of you really think that deeply about these events? Heh.

First of all, be happy that we get events. It's not like it just pops up out of nowhere, at least they spend time making them.
Secondly, it's always fun to party a bit! I love you Mad King!

Wow, this just shot off topic within a couple of posts, so let me clarify its reason for being. This is not a discussion about when GW2 will come out, the question I posited was if anybody else thought they might put a "tie in" between the Dragon Festival and the fact that GW2 will have dragons in it, which we all allready know it does. In everybody's mad dash to post their oh-so-witty remark, you skipped the whole point of the thread.

NO there will be NO tie in with GW2, it will be the same "old" Dragon Festival
AriBalifor
Looking forward to it! I'm assuming that characters have to be level 5 to participate, so I'm levelling away.

Besides the dragons dont even rise in our characters lifetime. Nobody even knows they are there so it would be impossible to tie them in.

The boardwalk games are called like that because they take place on the Shing Jea Boardwalk, which is the very first area that a Factions born player visits as a tutorial. As such, it's also good for exploring titles in case you're not Factions born or didn't explored the area when just starting out.
Shing Jea is the n00b Factions island, much like Pre-Searing and Istan. It's also the only town in this game area.
