ANet likes them so much that they just want to leave them up.

Kaineng Center looks a ton better at nighttime. Most people would like it to stay that way.

I wish it would stay this way, it's got a much more 'city' feel to it at night. It's awesome.

Tottaly agree it looks really nice the way it is, I wonder if most players people feel the same way about the decorations.

They are mocking you with how long it takes ANet to update the game to get them removed.

Because Kaineng Center looked like crap prior to the update and it really needed to be revamped.

Besides. It looks beautiful like this. And it fits the setting a LOT better. Why remove it?

If you define "soon" as 2 months (first week of July) away, then yes.

I like it much better the way it is now. I'd much prefer if they kept the decorations up. But, I doubt it.

I thought something was different! It had been ages since I'd logged in and I figured I was just being nostalgic or something because I didn't recall the city ever looking so awesome before. Love it. No longer dread having to go there.

As long as they keep it like this, that is...

It does look nice but I am not sure if the decorations should stay year around. I remember it being special to see the town decorated, now they're just kind of there and it really doesn't matter.

Meh, I'll take something beautiful that isn't special all year round over the ugly.

Another vote for keeping the "dark" version of the city. Very nice!

This. I kind of wish they'd keep Kaineng (also Shing Jea and Kamadan) in "dusk" mode permanently, the atmosphere is so much more pleasant that way...

Kaineng is always the least populated of the 3 main cities, it should at least be able to be the coolest looking.

I found werid not seen the marquees hanging around.

I actually like more the Nightime Kaineng.
It would be cool to make the districts randomly appear in either of both appearances:
- "Hey, come to District 2! It's nightime here!
- Nah, I like the daytime, I'll stay here at 4.

I really like the holiday decor. So pretty. I'm glad they're keeping it this way. Definitely has more of a city feel at night, as previous posters have said.

However, I wish they'd remove those dragon heads from the bridges and arches. They just seem a little out of place IMO. :P

Shing Jea and Kaineng look much better in the night time than in the day. Cmon Regina, work some of that magic of yours. Let's keep the decorations

But if the decorations were up year-round, what would we do to visually mark the special festival events? (Bearing in mind that the current number of artists we have on the Live Team is exactly zero, and our art resources are pulled from departments that work on GW2 full-time.)

I will let them know again how you all feel.

Shing Jea isn't decorated at the moment. Changing that could be sufficient visual alteration for the festivals. Another request here for keeping Kaineng the way it is right now, it looks a lot nicer.

I think Kaineng looks much better during the nighttime. Hopefully they'll keep it like this.

What events happen in Kaineng Center?

Canthan New Year, Birthday celebration, Dragon Festival... those are all centered in Shing Jea Monastery, not Kaineng Center.
