Dragon Festival 2010
NerfHerder
Thanks to all the other events in the past, I have maxed all my consumable titles. Now when I take my 10 characters through the quests, I can sell all the party/sweet points! Sounds like fun to me. And on the final event, im going to eat leftover sweets and run celestial charges! Maybe we will get a Zhaitan hat! Plus, this will be a good time for Anet to catch gamer farm bots.
I guess im a glass is half full, kinda guy. Besides, I still have loads of friends that play GW. So when I get bored of the event, there is all kinds of stuff I can still do. Its not like the rest of GW is closed during the event.
But if it makes everyone else feel better..... QQ.... you can add those tears to your half empty glass.

I agree. That would be awesome. At least most of the other yearly events have something fun (snowball, brawl, etc). Dragon Arena and Rollerbeetle aren't that great....possibly because the arena never changes.

Reading the first post, and to me he is whining about more than that. And if you happen to see others posts made by kj you will see he loves to whine about the game. Yet he never seems to stop playing, very strange.

He said he doesn't like the lag which happens during the festival.
I guess by your attitude that you love it. Mister Lag. |
But his mistake is that he made a "generic" title for what is in essence another QQ. If you knew his recent posting history you'd know he's now a disgruntled whiner.

I always enjoy rolling in a crapload of money every Dragon Festival (my most profitable festival of the year), especially now that my computer's back up and running.
Since I'm not going for Sweet Tooth or Drunkard, I always sell the ton of sweets and booze I get.
My first Dragon Festival two years ago resulted in my Xunlai account topping 100k for the first time.
Plus...tons of free presents!!

Hooray for being AFK in nine rings.
I am seriously going to laugh if the top scores in RR are way worse than last year. Who said again that there were no bottters in RR to protect themselves and friends while the proof was right before everybody's noses.

It definitely IS a new mask! I've seen it, and it's super cool

It's a new mask EVERY year... how dull, doing the same thing you've done every other year, for once why can't we have the same mask we had last year?
Sorry, somebody had to say it
Trolls will be trolls.
This years mask, can it be dyed?

I wont be participating as always wooptiedoo! I have a pretty darn busy private life at the moment and this weekend is no exception. I hope you guys have a lot of fun and leave some rice wine for me alright?

Assuming that you haven't maxed your lucky and unlucky titles yet, you could always AFK on Nine rings AND enjoy your busy private life... or so I'm told.

@kennywong - Tokens are given as quest rewards and as drops from monsters. You can get 240 (10 short of the requirement for a mask) by doing the four fairly easy quests from Imperial Guard Hanso.

"Missions will be available for 30 minutes"
Why is this btw? Now I have to see if I can even participate in these missions? Or maybe I don't understand it or something.

"unmelting jade waves

Is there a hidden meaning behind this?

Jade sea+ Dragon's of legend= Kuunavang mask? Anyone else think so? I love these event's even if they are the virtually same every year.

karate jesus never ceases to be a well of bottomless entertainment for me. kudos. don't worry bro, we aren't laughing with you.

So has anyone peaked inside the .dat to see what the new mask looks like?

I don't know why, but even though its the same each year the dragon festivals always been one of my favorite events. It's a shame so many of you take time out of your lives to annually moan about such an occurence. I guess we all celebrate in different ways...

Darkness at Kaitan and other quests are great to farm. I always look forward to farming during this festival, during specific quests.
I enjoy the Dragon Festival and Rollerbeetle racing. As I'm currently living with my GF and she loves kart based computer games, I'm showing her Rollerbeetle racing, and she's going to have a go. I'm letting her collect my victory tokens for me, so in essence she's my bot! Hehe. |

There festival events and quests to take part in every year, sure. But they are the same quests. These people are not wrong in those statements and they are entitled to have an opinion about it. The dissatisfied opinions look completely justified.
Wintersday and Halloween doubled in content with the release of Nightfall and Kamadam's inclusion, a buff from EotN quests and the Dhuum introduction was tied in as well.
The Dragon Festival has been static since its inception (the "funny the first time but grating the third time" dialogue changes to reflect the "acting" doesn't count as new content). The festival also has very little to do with Canthan culture or the original reason for it's conception "to commemorate the rebirth of the Empire of the Dragon and the indomitable spirit of the Canthan people, the Dragon Festival is held every summer at Shing Jea Monastery. " A handful of small additions to reflect this would be nice. As it is, the festival merely removes large amounts of platinum from the economy via 9 rings.
Don't get me wrong, I love the Dragon Festival. I love Factions, Cantha and Shing Jea Island. I like the decorations and having a reason to explore the island again, it's a place in GW I always enjoy playing. I don't care for beetle racing (It's a poorly optimised racing game, I own Mario Kart and would rather play that) but dodge ball is kind of fun. I'm also not in denial of the fact that the festival hasn't had anything new added to it since conception.
