Thats a Nian. Didnt you notice the part that said Nian concept art by it?

This is our Ox.

Does that look like a cow? Does a cow have big teeth and claws? The head of a lion? What am I missing here. I feel cheated.

Yeah I'm only really upset cos I thought I would get a cute little cow to follow me around...

Don't get your panties in a bunch. Before you started complaining you should've taken three seconds to click on the guildwars.com events page that's linked in the first post of this thread. A picture of the new Celestial Ox is on it. Not your Nian.

A Mini Nian would rule though. Here's hoping it's a Year 4 mini.

I'm assuming the pigs for Celestial Pig trader won't be here this year. I'm still sitting on a few extra pigs so if that trader freed up his schedule and wanted to show up, I'd probably have something for him.

Ahhh that makes me feel much better, nope never noticed the little Ox, and yes I did click the link, just missed it. Would have preferred a real ox rather than a star one (like original pig) but I guess it's asking too much.

Thanks for making my day, and untwisting my knickers

so anyway...make the new year's quests repeatable like the wintersday ones...i vote for that.

BenjZee · Jan 26, 2009, 05:37 PM // 17:37

I wouldn't think that would be good ...cheap firework farming etc?....
Anyway not all wintersday ones are repeatable

KiyaKoreena · Jan 26, 2009, 05:46 PM // 17:46

But celestial ones glow nicely so you don't trip in dark areas!

Not Good? How?

Mr. Undisclosed · Jan 26, 2009, 07:58 PM // 19:58

Because anet apparently doesn't like easy firework farming? Like last year when they made a level req on the quests so people couldnt just keep making characters to farm them.

Sir Skullcrasher · Jan 26, 2009, 09:17 PM // 21:17

lol I thought the event starts this past weekend. I was afking all day yesterday waiting for it to start!

As for the new celestial pet, I wonder if the drop-rate for it will be the same as celestial rat from last years?

draxynnic · Jan 27, 2009, 12:45 AM // 00:45

I'd have been much happier if it did - Australia Day public holiday would have meant I could have made the majority of the appearances without afking them.

Ekelon · Jan 27, 2009, 03:27 AM // 03:27

Lol more free beetles. Superbowl is more important though.

BenjZee · Jan 30, 2009, 08:41 PM // 20:41

I like to collect the quest items on one character 9 times then dish them out to my other chars
Ive been flaggin my heroes to the nian point while i leg it down to the nong berry bush and hopefully they kill the knights as i reach them and i can collect the festival dye

Of course, I won't be expecting them to have fixed the duplicate name issue.

As far as masks and minipets go, I've been told that the Lion Mask is going to make an appearance again, which depresses me greatly. Also, I'm hoping that any minipet given out for the festival will be a Mini Nian, and not a celestial version at that.

Oh yee of little faith, ANET does try to do the right thing most of the time. Problem has been fixed.

5th lunar fortune... mini ox \o/ (didn't get a rat in over 500fortunes last year)

Nomme Moon · Jan 30, 2009, 10:43 PM // 22:43

Do they still have the trade from normal pig to celestial pig like last year by any chance?

The Arching Healer · Jan 30, 2009, 11:40 PM // 23:40

Do the rockets / sparklers / champagne still drop in pve this year?

A Nian mini plz!!! Yes!!!! The Nian is my favorite GW beastie!

Question...

Do victory tokens drop anywhere now? The quests now give lunar tokens. Rollerbettle and Dragon Arena now give lunar tokens. There doesn't appear to be any place in the game to get victory tokens now. So what the heck are the point of those collectors?

You can get them randomly from a Boardwalk Prize.
