Who's up for server lag, automated start time issues, repeat quests, reskinned or repeated masks, and afk'ing on Nine Rings?

Oh, and botters doing Dragon Arena/Rollerbeetle.

Fun times.....fuuuun times.

Or at least attempting to have a good time. I say if you don't want to experience lag and deal with botters, don't log on during the Dragon Festival.

Imperial Dragon Mask

On Sunday, July 4th, Emperor Kisu of Cantha will present participants with a brand new festival mask. This year’s mask design is inspired by the great dragons of legend.

It's easy to get your mask! Just collect 250 Victory Tokens during the festival and participate in one of the Emperor’s finale events.

New mask. End of story. Complaining can stop here.

Wrong. I have never seen a festival where people didn't complain about the hat, whether it was brand new, a piece of a series of four brand new hats, or a repeat of a hat from the year before. Unfortunately, in today's society, nobody is ever satisfied.

Botting is impossible now. Didn't you get the memo on May 26th?

But seriously, AFAIK, you can't inject GWCA into GW anymore.

Seriously if you hate the game so much now why don't you just stop playing and stop posting your trolling comments here.

You could try another game instead of boring people with your broken record posts. You don't like it, Anet sux, game is no fun anymore blablabla.

It would be nice if they addressed the syncing and botting issues with Dragon Arena and Rollerbeetle racing but I doubt they will have a fix for it in time.

usrs? Yes, botting is still possible. Injecting is still possible. And pixel botting is easier.

Every once in a while, you'll still see a few bots in GvG matches and other stuff.

How about less trolling and more discussion. Am I the only one who thinks the Dragon Festival is boring and rehashed?

You'll probably be surprised. The botting methods used to do rollerbeetle still work if you use a modified injector. However, that's beside the point and mildly off-topic in this thread

I assume you mean me, right? I'm not entirely sure what in the world you mean. I'm not a fanboy, obviously, but I still like the game and play it at work sometimes.

I just really hate the Dragon Festival and Nine Rings. I didn't know that this would become some sort of pissing match for you and as you obviously have more users pissing in my direction, let's pretend like you've won whatever narcissistic fantasy forum game you currently believe we are playing, mmmmk?

Yeah its boring and rehashed but unless they've already started to work on something then there isn't going to be anything new, should have started this discussion earlier.

I wouldn't say you're the only one but since this will be my first time to see the Dragon Festival at all... it won't be boring or rehashed for me.

The first time around, it's not bad. Just don't do Nine Rings (unless you really want to grind your lucky titles).

Good point, although I actually somewhat enjoy the Halloween brawl stuff and the snowball games during Wintersday. But....it's all the same stuff, so....

Ya, costume brawl is by far the best PvP format. Sucks it's limited :/

I enjoy the Dragon Festival for it's atmosphere. Just do your best to not think about bots running rampant and the fact that you're doing the same quests as you did last year, and you might just find yourself having a bit of fun.

Fun>srs bsns.

The Festival might be a rehash for many of us but the newer players will enjoy it.

Oh, I had forgotten this event was coming up soon, thanks for posting it. I would have missed it probably. Can't wait to rollerbeetle race.

On topic: I think this Dragon Festival will be a bit different after the whole anti botting sentiment anet has expressed, regardless of how functional the bots still are. And if that means we might have a few new Dhuum pop ups then this will be an awesome party, even with the stale elements.

Off topic: i think i need a blood transfusion as i accidentally read some of KJ's posts and proceeded to slit my wrists at the futility of it all.

Even if all they did was sprinkle some decorations and function-less NPCs, I'd think it was pretty neat. I love to admire the theme and enjoy events for what they are. I don't see the point in complaining about free content.

i'm planning on taking off all my clothes, sitting in nine rings, and boozin' it up.

though if i had one complaint, a little new content would be nice, other than a new mask. one new quest? one new something?!? but i'm not nagging, as i'd rather have the festival than not at all.
