i was wondering what everyone though of the tengu masks. I didnt get one (too lazy) but i did get a chance to see em. I dont like em personally and the first words i heard out of someone's mouth when the emporer gave them out were:

"These things are edit hideous!!!"

thanks A.net!!!!

I think they are cool, and the fact they can be dyed is a bonus....if only yule caps could have been dyed

I fell for the hype and took time to collect the naga things, waited for the emperor (who walks slow as hell), and got the mask, and I must say I'm a bit dissapointed. The mask looks alright, but why not give us something useful? c'mon anet, c'mon.

Hideous in a cool way. I dig the things, ended up getting three of them.

Al, the mask is just meant to be a cosmetic thing like the yule cap, horns of grenth, and pumpkin crown given out during the holiday events. Those didn't do anything useful, either.

Were these masks only available today (thurs) with the pre order head start? Or will these still be available on friday when the game is released?

Anet said they would only be available today. So it was a buying frenzy.

By the end they released that the event is extended for another 3 days. My best guess is because of pre order key delays.

Many people I know that ordered online never received a pre order key.

So it's a possibility they will be available Friday. I guess I will find out tomorrow . =)

Heh, imo this was a bad idea from anet.. I mea that you had to collect fangs to get the mask. :P

I made... well a LOT of money yesterday from bying low and seeling the fangs high. By the end everyone was wondering "Where the hell does Ermac get so many fangs???:O". xD

I didn't pre-order Factions so I wouldn't know but...Perhaps this mask is kind of like a "Tapestry Shred" from Pre. Something to use later on in the game. But I havn't seen the "specs" of it yet so I couldn't really know.

I really like the way they look. I don't see why you would think they are ugly. They're very colorful and have a nice style to them. Much better than the crappy pumpkin hat and antlers.

Maybe I'm just an over achiever, but I've dyed it, Runed it, and Infused it. I love that thing so very much. And, yeah, ugly as [NOT HEAVEN].

I'm sorry, but I have to admit I really find the way they look nice. I mean, hmm... tengu masks look a lot like tengu (check out a tengu in first person, they're not smecksy ). They're just nifty novelty items. Nothing more, nothing less.

The ugliness of the Tengu Mask is UNGODLY....can't see why you'd waste collecting fangs for em in the first place other than not being able to get your hands on one after the event, etc. At least make them look cooler or something. Definitely not for me. They do possess a more unique look than the fake-looking antlers and insanely-bright pumpkin heads.

However, I do think it looks awesome on male Ritualists. Overall though, mas ooglehness.

I've already dropped my two cents about the masks elswhere, but I'll say it again; I think they're ugly as sin.

I ended up giving around 300 fangs away to random people.

Personally I got 1 mask for 1 character and thats it for me. I missed out on the Christmas and Halloween event's... So being able to finally have something "special" from an event is really cool for me. Not terribly interested in getting a mask for other chars.

Oh, and I think the helm looks quite nifty. It has that Tengu feel and charm to it. *shrugs* I've seen worse helm's, as well as better drawn helms. I'm just happy to have 1. hehe

I was super-busy yesterday, so I never got a chance to get the tengu mask...this sucks, since I have all the other event-only items. Furthermore, I won't be getting onto to Factions until later today (can't wait), too bad everyone is going to be miles ahead of me... ><

Has this event been extended or has it finished now? The update notes say it's over.

I thought "event extended" notice on guildwars.com meant this Tengu event had been extended too, but it seems not? If so, I missed it due to work and not being able to come online much... why do an event on a workday and not let it continue into the weekend

Anyone ever see the movie Alien? Looks like one of the baby Aliens attaching itself to your face.

One of my guildmates got one, and we teased him endlessly for having a pecker on his face (sorry for the crudeness)....
