Where's the fireworks?

For some reason, I was under the impression there was a big celebration cutscene when completing the game. People mentioned fireworks and stuff, and one of the official movies had fireworks cutscenes in it. (I can find the link if you want).

Anyways, I "finished" the game (hell's precipice), but no fireworks.

Am I missing a mission or something? or was that fireworks thing a beta event?

Confused,

PS Guild Wars rocks

i believe that was the end of the beta test.. but that was before my time so im not sure

however it would be nice for Anet to hold little celebrations ever now and again...

Yeah, at the end of the beta they had a huge fireworks display. A video was posted, i think on the guildwars main site.... might still be up im not sure.....

This is the first time I've heard someone say "I finished Hell's Precipice," and "Guild Wars rocks," in the same post. Bravo, you little trouper.

now now, im sure the lack of an ending was meant to be there

if we are lucky Anet will do something every special for new years or something, maybe more fireworks

What's there to celebrate? Every city got overrun at least twice in the game, by charr/white mantle/undead/flaming hulks, most of everyone is dead, and you're stuck halfway up a burning volcano while your allergies for sulfur starts firing up, and your fellow hero is drawing penises on the minimap. Pretty depressing if you ask me.

*Gives Milthie Prozac*

Yes! Now that's how it's done.

"I just saved the world. What else is there to do? Aha! Penis on the mini-map! Alllllright!"

Not that I'm a pro-athlete or ever even want to be, but if I was, that's so what I would say:

Interviewer: "Diomedes, you just won the superbowl, what are you going to do?"

Diomedes: "Draw Peni on the mini map, give me that pen!"

man, thanks for the laugh Everblue, that just made my morning

The rate at which a thread turns its focus towards the crotchal region is both alarming and fascinating. But you know I wouldnt have it any other way...


PENIS FOR THE WIN!

*Gets out his cleaver*

Crotchal region! lol! Man I was in the PUG a week ago when the monk types afk. He gets back and starts apologizing, "sorry guys, a spider was going for my no-no zone".

The movie of fireworks you saw was from the end of the April Beta Weekend Event, if I recall correctly. It was the very last weekend event before the game went retail. At around midnight on Sunday at the end of the once-per-month 3-day weekend event prior to release, the developers stuck in special candy for those still on line. There was an event where Rotscale came to the cities and killed off everyone. There was one where Gwen appeared everywhere, spoke funny lines to people's characters, and then killed them by setting them on fire. There was one with the Ni garden gnomes that pop out of giant gift-wrapped boxes, surrounded the character, then blew up and kill the character. For the last one, gold rained down from the sky and all the toons randomly started gaining XP. Then there was a few minutes of firework. Then infernal wurms popped out of the ground and killed everyone.

See a theme yet? They killed off everyone at the end of the BWE to make people log off

I really loved the ends of bwe (fireworks and wurms /gwen from hell ).
I will be really happy if devs , sometimes, will make events/special effects in towns

yeah, hows about special halloween events where those undeads come to town and Party hearty

*grabs a passing Monk, uses him as holy-signet thrower and runs into halloween town to wipe out deadies hheh*

yes I totally agree, like every month there is a "end of beta" type of party.

I dunno about you guys, but after I beat the game I went out and partied with Leeeeeeeeeeeroy Jenkins. There's fireworks for ya. :P

Hahaha i give some props to mithie for this. Not to be on the offensive side, but some American GW players are just a bit way too RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOy and they run off doing their own thing, scribbling on the mini map just to aggrivate you, but heh its imo.

had to have a good laugh at the end battle
here I was with my necro/monk healing party throwing curses at lich etc happy as a bees knee with my little trooper when the Lich was about to die he throws me in the river get back up throw up fire protection come storming out of the river of lava to take a piece out of his hide for that
When he goes and dies without me getting in a last strike of revenge
mmmm ponders on some thoughts of revenge when I go back
