Yeah, it's crazy out there.

Cupcakes, pumpkin pies, grogs, honeycombs, sparklers, rockets, champagne, ciders, hunters ales, victory tokens. TONS of them.

It looks like farming before loot scaling - except it's only for event items.

Aye, seems like more or less every single event is live.

oh sweet, thanks for that.

I cant log into the game right now though, cant connect to the servers and changing my password through the GW2 website stopped it working in GW1 and i'm waiting for a reply from support atm.

But hopefully I can work on my consumable titles after the beta event.

I have all three consumable titles, eotn vanqs, delver, norn, and survivor left to do for Gwamm, only 2-4 weeks of grind needed for all that hopefully.

Im currently on 23 titles and:

1) 5000ish Sweet tooth points
2) 3800ish drunkard
3) 3500ish party animal
4) 850 Master of the North (all quests + dungeons done, just vanqs left)
5) 125k delver points (easy to max in snowman lair)
6) 80k norn points (maybe I'll speedbook this)
7) Survivor

= Gwamm. Might have to leave some progress until after GW2 launches, but I want to get as much farmed out of this event as possible.

I hope that the Hounds of Balthazar is not the only new item, cause if it is, Failure.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

If you're heading to Vaettirs, bring merch stones and a spacious inventory. The loot is raining down.

The lag is as much of a joke as ever. It's too bad that this celebration didn't come with the present of removing Nine Rings.

So is Vaettir farming the fastest way to get the stuff? And should I use my elly or my rit?

I've never farmed this kind of stuff before.

Not sure if EoTN rep is effected or not as I am always confused by how the bonuses work but killing 25 snowmen in HM gave me 100 reputation points.

I actually need norn points on my elly so will have to use him, and dont have a sin.

I found the E/Me farming builds on youtube so I'm ok now.

Happy birthday, Guild Wars - thanks for the fiery pooch!

It certainly is raining title track items out there already - don't know if the Elite Xunlai Bakery Agents "en route" means even more are on the way!

Oooh, loads of goodies! I'll have to get in on this. And I'm definitely pleased ANet stretched it to two weeks, because if I had to miss this for the BWE, I'd be pretty sad.

New build. Likely adding dragon arena. I won't load it until someone confirms it won't nerf the drops.

Question here. I already did the update and got the hound. But I try to start Guild Wars again and it is stuck at 0% download with 1 file. I can't figure out how to fix it.

Edit: I am downloading GW2 right now but that shouldn't affect it should it?

Actually this isn't entirely true. Arenanet usually has to make an update that releases the birthday presents to the 7 year characters.

- Made preparations for the Guild Wars 7th anniversary celebration.

Can't be sure, but I suspect that was it.
