Imperial Token implies Factions-specific events imo, but there's been no information about this so far.

Of course they would want to do that. If they allow everyone to collect all the hats at one time, then there would be almost no need for people to login and play during the festivals, especially if they are not interested in getting the cons titles anymore. Obviously, they want people to show up during festivals and make the GW1 lively at least until GW2 is out.

The first (halloween) hat is the only one I don't have. I was playing GW then, but my character hadn't got to Lion's Arch at that stage. Still hoping.

It looks like it's going to be one mask per year/ per event.

But I see your reasoning. Since we bought the game, and we're "The Customer",
why should we have to play it too.

We should all be given any item in the game when ever we want it.

Since the game is so old anyway. I think we should all get max titles,and
all the elite armors and weapons placed in our new infinate inventory slots
too.

Too many times my posts have been taken wrong and I've taken others posts wrong. The emotional translation is lost in the typing and far too often we see the worst in what we read. I'm going to assume that the replies to my post are with the best intent and not attempts at trolling.

This is in reply to both Daesu and Hephaestus Ram

There's no new hat so showing up for the event is greatly minimized because Kisu is no longer a part of the hat distribution. If you have the points titles maxed then you may not have reason to log in at all. Is making players wait a year for an extra hat enough incentive?

This isn't an issue where I'm suggesting just handing over items to players to make things easier. The issue is that other then the one hat per account per year, the difficulty in acquiring the hat is zero. The quests are designed to give players a stack of tokens per character. Considering most players have a minimum 4 character slots, that means that players have the potential to earn 4-8 hats. The only thing stopping us from getting them all is the special token and the one year gap. We can use all of the tokens we want to acquire points for titles but the hats are off limits. This is my point.

Hopefully that clears things up and I won't get any more replies like I did.

the next holiday is halloween...that will be AFTER gw2 launches.

the token is for an IMPERIAL mask, so one would think that it would be one per festival--though the question still remains some of the festivals had multiple hats per year--if you missed one year you missed FOUR hats!

so back to the OP question of how they are going to handle the other holidays. (and yes if you turned in your imperial mask token will you be able to turn in another token this year or is that your ONE token for the whole year? --and then is it a year from when you turned in the token or calendar year???)

It's literally face-value here. This is just another implementation that tries to bait people into participating whilst having to expend zero effort on their part, even how it's been implemented is indicative of their attitude.

I'm genuinely surprised there are people who don't see that ANet no longer cares about anything of actual substance regarding this game, and it's clear that even content which would have been deemed a relatively frivolous waste of resources not all that long ago is now beyond putting any effort into.
I'm even more surprised that there are people who actually buy into the illusions hiding the fact.

GW is done, finished, complete, final and as good as it's ever going to get. Moving on.

I haven't tested this, but couldn't you do the quest with multiple characters? Ever since you can show the hat to a festival hat NPC, technically you could get a hat per character per event per year, no?

**cosyfiep** · Jul 01, 2012, 03:54 PM // 15:54

no you can only do the quest from Sun Li with ONE character---so you can only get ONE token per account.

Markaedw · Jul 01, 2012, 04:15 PM // 16:15

I even tried to get the quest on other characters and fulfilled the required token count. As soon as I collected the reward from one character, it counted as completed on all characters, the quest was removed from my quest window and she acted as if all of them had collected the reward. In addition, the tokens can neither be traded nor drooped. Now the alternate rewards bag can be traded.
