Special Mystery Award

Maybe the Mystery item will be our almost 3 month late PvE skills balance update...

Now we don't want to set the Bar toooo high.

Special Mystery Reward: For 24 hours Kun Shao returns from vacation to distribute May Tournament Reward Points. Initial 23 hours 57 minutes Guild Wars will be down for maintenance.

or...


Special Mystery Reward: Wintersday Redux 3.

I like how they ninja reworded their website from for just attending the event you get a mini tiger to... they only come from lunar fortunes

Its going to be a Celestial summoning stone, or it will be something very disappointing. I do not expect anything special from Anet.

This. We all know Anet... >.>

I bet it's just a different kind of fireworks.

It's a celestial ally summoning stone. Someone found it in the .dat

Disappointing and boring. I would have preferred a skill balance.

costume that costs no money is fine by me, though i'd rather have an EL celestial tiger tonic or something but when would that happen

Its actually what, 5 and almost 6 months late because they were supposed to do them every 2 months.

As far as the mystery item, from the use of their wording and what was found in the dat, its fairly obvious its a celestial summoning stone.

With how many of the bloody stones Nic likes to push on me, unless the celestials have some type of crazy abilities this... doesn't really feel much like an "award"... :-(

A one time Celestial Summoning Stone would be suckage, because we are swamped in those stones by Nicholas and elite area endchests. Fun for a day, but after that... in any case not 'special'.

An Everlasting one for lvl 20- would be suckage too because I already own one.

An Everlasting one for lvl 20+ would mean you'd be able to make a party of 9 without ever needing to buy/make another stone. And if these Celestials are indeed in possession of some crazy abilities, a solo farmer or speedclearer wet dream coming true.

Anet, surprise me.

the celestial summoning in that end of factions mission where they turn into like 10 flesh golems or something. that would be a sick summoning stone, just to become a MM for 10seconds. or they could just finally make a Ritualist Of God minipet like they have been developing for years.
-Drama

well another cnahthan finale has come and gone( yes we did it w/ no glitches hopefully)

so you gotta ask yourself.. was the mystery surpirse worth it?


i wont say what it is(for those who dont know) but i personally thought it was dissappointing. Imean how long are those "rewards" gonan last.. maybe till april if ur careful w/them? i thought it kinda sucked on anets part hey thats me.

i personally wouldve liked a new tonic( like an EL one for everyone) or some new ( and cool) hat.

so what im getting at is this: did u like the surpsise at all? i thought it was tacky and cheap but thats just me. So, lets see what the rest of the GW's population has to say .

A tonic would have been nice, but after reading the discription on the home page, I figured it would be one of these stones. *Casts the stone across a pond.*

Minis are the only thing worth attempting in the event.

Its something not really new but just making pve easier imo lol. Running 3 accounts getting all 8 events? 5k per event per account so ill have about 120? I think those will last me till gwamm, figuring my 17missions HM and 37 tyria vanqs. I mean its not as good as maybe a special emote, or costume, or better hat cause this one is years old and tacky, but its a BONUS mystery which is better then getting nothing.

Hmm, seems like all 12 Celestials can be summoned, which is kinda cool.

It's okay I guess. Not very special to me, knowing there are already 15+ of those stones easily obtainable.

Ah, just noticed every one of the 12 Celestials can be summoned. A bit more special, I guess.

Was it worth doing nothing more than I've normally done in the past several years? Yes.

The celestials are somewhat interesting, but not too special. And it's not like we're missing out on anything and getting these instead, so I can't complain.

Pretty much that sums my thoughts Better this then nothing by far (and gives me a good reason to sneak at least once in a district whene no dishes have been prepared )
