So at 10pm PST the special event after the Emperor handed out masks never started in all districts it seems. No Grasps to outrun.
I wonder if whatever they have planned for midnight is even going to work? I also wonder if Tyrian created characters will lose out on it? I'll be logging my rit in to be safe, though I'd rather have my war in.
Dragon Festival finale...That's it?

arcanemacabre
Oh boy, funny stuff. Glitches central with this festival. Ah well, we'll see what midnight brings.
Libitina Nefarious
Yeah people were saying how the lower districts had no essences and such. o_O That sucks...I was in a dis that had essences and the presents seemed to go on for an unusually long time. =O
Branskins
I still had/am having a lot of fun

No it was bugged. Many people from other districts were saying the same thing. Only some districts had presents drop or the event even run.
As of the last event of the day....Nothing Special happened.
samifly
sorry 2-10+ kisu's is a bug. 3 copies of the sorcerors is a bug.
No finale I guess..

Lots and lots of buggs indeed.
But there are places to go so I wouldn't worry :P.
The glitches are quite funny by the way. You can see 4+ Emperors doing nothing, or multiple furies. Also the sorceres and grasps might stay after the emperor left...or says he left.
But I wonder...isnt it 7.00 GMT AM?

yeah it was buggy but I hopped districts till I found one with a winning score, stuck it out, and got presents. Very buggy with all the duplicates though. I wonder when the town reverts back to pre-event? Im still in Monastary and not going to leave.

Ok I have loved this festival, more than any other. Halloween and Christmas were hard to conquer, mind you. If our so called "big finale" was a major glitch I'm going to be THROUGHLY disappointed. A few glitches here and there are understandable for such a big change...but I saw 11 Emperors in the district I was in. Then I'm guessing since him and the sorcerers were multiplied, the graps must have been as well...explaining why most districts got owned. And what was up with the graps sticking around as “pets” I mean hell yeah that would be cool to have...but what is up with these glitches. -_- Hopefully it’s not over, and it’s gonna be late just like it was to start. I’m looking forward to a big UN-GLITCHED finale.

i was hoping for a little more than just a normal gift-session too...
I think we'll have lots of complaints over this one, if in fact, this is it.
I dont think it was clear to players what order things were in and everyhthing was confused.
A program/schedule would have been nice, that told you times depending on your country...

Yeah well I have hopes for something yet. Captain Rujiyo is being a fruitcake again, I'll hold out another 50 mins to see what's going down.
Lil Pips
Don't forget that, towards the end, Rujiyo did announce that there was a "final stand" to be made at the Monastery.
Also, we're 70 minutes past the finale, and Orbs are still dropping.
I can only assume the event is still going and we'll even have another Kisu appearance but if they do finally get the finale working I hope they post some sort of definite time schedule for it (and not just push it out in an hour or two when they get it working, as most people that stayed up late for the "finale" will have gone to sleep).

Well Just been in dis 7 where Gaile and she didn't seem to say anything about anymore.
Talic
Uh, I think the uniqueness about the final kisu visit (to my knowledge) was the fact that the grasps this time didn't just chase you and kill you for a point, they also grabbed orbs on the ground now as well. I thought it was kinda funny, however some districts still managed to win.

"The event is schedule to end with the last game"
"The finale has been the whole day"
Thats it over

If that is it, I'd be dissapointed. I had such high hopes for a 'true surprise'. Now I can't go to sleep since I've stayed up for this.
I'll just wait a bit longer...

So what was up with Rujiyo calling everyone to the monastery for a big final battle? Was it just another round of returning orbs? If so, that's pretty lame.
Lord Palidore
Yeah, in the other thread, someone said Gaile confirmed the mini-game/invasion was the finale.
With the handfuls of glitches and bugs we have seen during the period of the Dragon Festival, I wouldn't be surprised if it was supposed to work like this:
The Emperor was to come every two hours, and hand out mask. Nothing out of the ordinary. At the conclusion of the event, the very last trip the emperor was to make, the invasion with The Fury and minions was supposed to be the finale, in which all the presents dropped, and the fireworks went off at the end.
But some employee up in Anet's office coded it wrong, and instead, the invasion would accidentaly happen every time, just like the bug that deleted charmed animals, bug that changed face appearance for rangers, unable to sell tickets, multiple Kisus', wandering grasps' and The Fury (post-event), that all happened since the Fesitval update.
Dont get me wrong, I appreciate the update, and the thought of the update very much, but just as the Tengu event, it was handled poorly. If Anet tested it better (if they did test it at all), then this would have been a much more fun event than it was, because it would have ran smoother. Most of these bugs and glitches though that have occured, are very common malfunctions, that was easy to stumble on upon, and very repeatable, which makes me doubt whether it was tested properly enough.

my biggest thing is this line, "The conclusion of the Dragon Festival will be marked with surprises true Canthans won't want to miss." This made it sound like something special would happen for canthan born characters. I understand if the invasion was only supposed to happen once, so it seems as though nothing special hapened at the end, I was just expecting something special for my Canthan characters.

Uhhhhh...so tired.....and i guess the finale was all of today...It is now 2;00 for me and the last time the emperor came, it was 12:00. There have been no signs of his arival, not even a "the emperor will arive in 15 minutes" or anything...sorta not wat i expected....o well ill stay afk just in case....gotta go to bed tho unfortunatly....maybe there is another and its just delayed or somthin.....
Deadlyjunk

Yeah That was my notion. No offense to A.Net they did a great job over all. But....that's it?
The slaughter everyone at the end thing is getting kinda old.

I liked it.

COH Halloween was always fun, imho.

I liked it too. It was a lot of fun... however I do understand why some people might complain. I too was expecting something bigger only because their statement lead me to believe so. But if they wouldn't have said that i'd be too cool.. still am except i'm way tired staying up to see the "big finale that I don't want to miss"
raven214
Overall I enjoyed the event. Wintersday was by far superior IMO (I missed Halloween due to RL). I did like the Dragon's Nest and chance games tied to new titles ideas, dodgeball was ok (snowball fights were much better -- I don't know why they didn't add any skill that would be like catching the ball to make the thrower die... could've been a simple variation of a stance working like Reversal of Fortune/Vengeful Weapon, but with a % chance to fail), and the Emperor's appearances/mask giving were ok (I really enjoyed the mini-game town-battle) although unacceptably buggy (as a ranger primarily -- losing our pets/changing faces FTW?).
I tried to stay up til 3am (EDT) last night - was expecting a big finale that I didn't want to miss - but I passed out around 2... "luckily" I guess there is no big finale.
