2010 Canthan New Year Celebration
Vital Spark
Hello, I just wanted to say I love this event/holiday and the dragon arenas / beetle racing games, but since event lasts only a weekend, I feel like there isnt enough time to enjoy it all. There is gathering items for cellestial Tiger, doing the quests, enjoying the party, broadwalk games. Maybe it would be possible to leave Dragon arenas and Roller beetle racing for a week longer? Its amazing fun, and really Id just wish all those minigames would be available whole year ;( Please consider it ~
Ugh
They'll be back again in April and July, if that's any consolation.
Arduin
And next year. Trust me, after 4 years of CNY I'm not all that excited about those quests anymore. Still love the festival though. 
Masmar
Everybody being afk for weekend is enough :/

For the first time since the first CNY I did the quests in hopes of getting the Tiger, only to be reminded oh-so-nicely why I AFKed the rest of them!
Buying the Tiger tomorrow.

....and why, why, why, why, why have they still not updated the fireworks guy to craft fireworks in bulk? 3 mouse clicks to get a single firework.....after crafting 7 piles of fireworks I had to go afk rings to rest my index finger

Last Year I have used tons of fortunes and I didnt get an ox, but this year I got mini tiger at 2nd try > _ < ; rawr

I got a Tiger in my first set of Lunar Fortunes, lol.

I'd like the decorations to stay around for at least a week. I like the these decorations better than any other event.
Its interesting that the sugary blue drinks only come as 1 out of the gift bags. Why not 3 like the fireworks. Now if it was 1 redbean cake, yea that makes sense. For us who dont need party pts, it kinda....oh well theres always trading
I actually got 2 minis about 10 lunar fortunes apart.

Got 5 tigers from 10 characters' quest chains. Giving 4 to guildies that aren't as fortunate as me after the event is over.

Strange bug.
I was in my guildhall with a character that was currently in the Monastery. I invited another character from my secondary account, that also has shing jea monastery, but is tyrian born. My party was 4/4 with 2 heroes. When trying to leave the guildhall, I got a message saying some characters could not travel there, and would be left behind. Tried it with 2 different characters, again with a canthan born from shing jea in my GH, plus a tyrian character in the party that certianly had shing jea monastery. Got the same message again. Both Tyrians could map to the Monastery seperately and join up there again. So why did I get that message??? Is it a bug?
Just tried again with different characters, even different accounts. Same thing. Guildies reporting same thing.

Why are so many people in Tsumei Village "LFG Big Bang"? The quest takes like 3 minutes by yourself. There's too many people LFG to be all new players. Are they doing it just to save 1 or 2 bottle rockets?

I'm guessing you need someone to stand in a certain spot while the other lights off the fireworks, but im not sure. It was very frustrating and i just ended up abandoning the quest.

/charge /fallback /incoming.
It happened to me when I first started doing that quest in the first canthan new year. Never had it happen again since I had a "brilliant" thought /charge /fallback /run skill .....

1 tiger in 52 fortunes which was doing all the quests on one character. Usually I have bad luck and will not get a tiger from fortunes....

yeah I had to scratch my head at the lfg for bb.....have done that quest on 24 character, no speed boost and only 3 poppers.....its so easy--a cave man could do it (sorry had to).
managed to get 3 tigers from ~500 fortunes...the first 275 gave none...was getting worried so I amassed 200 to open at once....got 3 in that group so I am please now (still have a few characters --low level--waiting to finish up the quest chain....and then afk for the rest of the time!)

600 fortunes 1 Tiger, wasnt until the 457th fortune...

7 chars' quest chains and no tigers. I would say this must not be my lucky year, but there hasn't been a year I have gotten a celestial mini from the fortunes.
Fox Reeveheart
I been here every single CNY, never gotten a celestial mini from the lunar fortunes, so i stopped and would buy them... so i gotta ask...
WHAT THE HECK IS WITH THE INSANE PRICES? O_o They were always 20-30k for undeds during CNY, but I see only people wanna buy them for that much but sellers are asking double that price!

ightgg
opened 180 and have seen no tiger.
agreed Fox Reeveheart
People have so much free money since shadow form makes farming 1,2,3,4 and RedResign doesnt help. All the newbs are coming back to their stacks of zkeys.
-Drama

Got 4 tigers from 267 fortunes (doing quests on my 6 characters). And I only got one in previous two years. I guess luck does change

And 1 question: Do you get Red gift bags and fireworks if you are afking on 9 rings? Thanks!

I don't like how this event is handled - the potentially insanely frustrating fortunes have given me so much grief in previous years. This year I decided to be strong and only do the quests once (still got mind-numbingly bored halfway through, though).
Didn't get anything yesterday, but got a few more tokens to turn into fortunes (from red bags) today and got a tiger!
The GW gods favour those who do the least.

Hard work...8 chars through all the quests. 520 fortunes and i got 1 tiger on #400something. A hint for the casters,rangers, paras doing big bang: Equip a melee weapon. If you are at wand/bow/spear range you are not close enough to do the nians. I wasted a few fireworks before I realised that. The other half is knowing where they will appear. Then you have enough time to position yourself properly.

Ugh, sorry about some of the bad luck in this thread. I got my tiger in the first 85 fortunes opened. First one in 3 years though, so it's about time for me .

Took me 2 characters and 40 fortunes to get the Tiger.
I was impressed it only took that.
Thought for sure I'd have to go through atleast 4 characters!
Huzzah though!
Now I can go back to playing MW2.
Oh and for advice... if you want the "full" reward from the Celestial.... go to the Japanese districts. Asians ALWAYS have everything ready.

800 fortunes 6 tigers, usually got the tiger pretty fast(about 20-30 fortunes). If a character went over 50 I would change characters. Not sure if that made any kind of difference, but worked for me.

Party window was full chock full of "WTB tokens/fortunes/tigers", and almost no "WTS" until about Sunday, and even then demand/prices were high vs previous years.
