so the new year is coming in china , and with that we get another event and one of the best i think.

this is is year of the ox/or cow, we always geta new mini at that time of the year dealing with the new year. what would you rather see mini cow or mini ox. and latly then have been Celestial.

the one i woudl love is a white and black cow and not a Celestial version!!! it woudl be kicken even though every one would have one , but still be funny haveing 30 of them waking around in each dist.

also will the add new thigns this year , new games or adjust things with the event like they have started to do.

or the cows right outside shing jea in the vale.
What i'm wondering if there will be a new titles introduced, past 2 year have had new titles added.
I"m getting a feeling it might be somethign with summoning stones mb
r1 Summoner (100 summoning stones used)
r2 Keeper of the Stones (1000 summoning stones used)
Think it have to be less than 10k like sweet/party/drunkard because summonign stone cost alot more.

There are bull models in the game you know. They'll just take that model, make it a mini, and reskin it to be a celestial for the mini pet. For the Celestial itself, just reskin it.

Work done.

Bull? Mini Rogue Bull! favourite pre searing friend.
im just glad there wont be any hectic trading over the over populated mini pig which then they had to trade in for special celestrial mini pigs. The rat rocked may i add.

I'd want a Celestial Cow, but I wonder how big they are going to make it.

Why just zone in one zone use, zone into another use, rinse and repeat...Please don't add an easy title...Even though, I'd love it

I hope for a mini Rouge bull, or the one's outside Shing Jea

If it's a Mini Cow then they must be the same as the cows from the secret cow level in Diablo 2 They gotta make the same sound effects too.

Oh! Yes! Yes! More D2 references is a must!

@above: Those look like the regular monster skins tbh. Skale, Snow Wolf, Dylak, Simian. I don't see how the poster thinks those are "celestial" as they are clearly not made out of stars. and it is the stars that make them celestial, not a yellow highlight.

Also, wouldn't the snake be a Naga, not a skale?

that is true Azazel that they do look like normal skins but they also have that goldish look to them, so its possible that they are, but well have to wait till feb to find out.

My main point on how those cannot be the Celestials is that the Celestials are stars with a yellow outline, not like regular creatures with a yellow highlight. There is no fur or skin to the Celestial, just stars and the yellow/gold outline.

They were originally faded out. The poster upped the brightness and contrast so that we could see them. So its possible they are the spirit outline that each of the Celestial animals use.

Ingame event: cow tipping..

im waiting for the year of the dragon, so we can get an ACTUAL chinese dragon since we were suppose to get one in factions but kuunavang had wings, the oriental dragons dont have wings. kuunavangs without wings = oriental dragon....

@^: I don't think we will get a snake dragon without wings. They will be skinned similar as GW monsters, I'm sure.

Also: Celestial Dragon Anyone?

My guesses for all future celestial animals:

Ox - Rogue Bull
Tiger - Too Easy
Rabbit - Too Easy
Dragon - Saltspray Dragon
Snake - Naga
Horse - Kirin
Sheep - Dunno for this
Monkey - Simian
Rooster - Dunno for this, think there are some Rooster models in game already - non-interactive.
Dog - Wolf

Not necessarily.. Chinese new year always features the traditional Dragon versus Tiger. If ANET REALLY wants to give the dragon out, then they can do so without breaking tradition and just give them both out to each alliance (one to kurzick the other to luxon and have the people trade em). Personally, I would think that would be great before they release GW 2 and end the entire game..

Although I'd assume we would have Canthan New year in GW2 as well - can't wait to see Divinities Reach all decorated - where they would also give out minipets.

I'm looking forward to this years event, even though it's going to be the weekend I start school back up again. Though it seems like it's a little close to Wintersday, and I'm a bit festivaled out.

Mebbe instead of a mini, we get one of those toys that you tip upside down, then when you tip it back up it makes a mooing sound...

no? I think they're cute.

(The rooster could be the celestial phoenix from nahpui.)
I think the cows from factions and kourna will be used as a celestial reskin, but I'm hoping for the rogue bull skin as well.
Tiger and Dragon is something to look forward to, but by then we'll probably all be playing GW2 (if that worlds.com company doens't ruin NCSoft by then)...
When will the event be held?

Make of that what you will.

My guess is that it's not happening the weekend prior (23-26), because the mAT is on Jan 24/25, and that's just way too much damn lag to deal with. Nine rings alone makes hideous lag *g*

What I make of it is Halloween (excludes Cantha) week+ event, Wintersday (excludes Cantha) 2week+ long event, Canthan New Year a weekend ( which means no practically chance to play for those who have to work 12 hour shifts on weekends).

Yet again, Cantha gets bent over and well you know...
