Same deal as last year, team who worked on gwen is same as that of tyria and nightfall, the cantha team is working on gw2. Only bone given to cantha by that team was canthan new year, which INCLUDED events in Kamadan and LA (frankly is was only added because they were trying to sell to the Chinese market). Dragon festival was reduced from a week long event to a weekend, extended to two weekends only because of extreme lag and complaints.
Factions is literally the red headed step child because it was not the project the current team created. So be prepared that cantha will not get anything else.
I'd hold my breath of another Cantha new year as well, unless anet finds another asian market.

It offical again, A-Net Hates Cantha!

This is baseless and wrong, and you should probably not say things like it.

Actually its true, Tyria and Nigthfall were created by team 1, and team 2 worked on Factions and Utopia.
The only things I'm unsure of is that after Utopia was aborted, I remember reading that it was passed to team 1 to be scraped and made into GWEN, and team 2 went straight to GW2 production.
I'm sure now that GW:EN is out, both teams are working on GW2, just team 2 had a head start.

I don't think it's unfair at all. My brother only has factions and he'll be missing the event. BTW if anyone has a trial key for any of the other games, he'll be very thankful for it (PM Me).

Since the 3 continants share the same 5 gods, one would expect the same festivals, but since this is guild wars they dont have to brign in colonisation into things as they make up the world, they could say that the elonians and the tyrians celebrated dwayna more then cantha and so forth, real life things don't really matter here, imo as really its the game designer's call and what ever sells sells.

..realised i wrote about "Wintersday" but you get the point

COMPLETELY WRONG. Seriously stop spouting stuff that you know nothing about. It's already been said by ANET that they dismantled the separate teams and put them together because they no longer were making campaigns. Why would they still have seperate teams now? The "Factions Team" no longer exists, it's been incorporated into the GW team as a whole and this team as a whole worked on GWEN.

I dont mind that there is no Halloween in Cantha. They have another event. I would prefer that EotN have something though, since its the most recent release and is where most people are, myself included.

Sniper22 · Oct 26, 2007, 09:07 PM // 21:07

K the reason why they don't have it in Cantha is because that would involve a lot more work for the anet team. It's in Lions Arch because of the first halloween (only campaign out) and then the 2nd one was also hosted in kamadan as a promotion for people to go out and buy the game so they can get the hat and transforming juice crap.

Fair enough, there isn't a Halloween celebration in the Asian themed Continent. Consider yourselves lucky, we have to suffer yet another sickly American idea of what 'Halloween', Samhain to me, means.

reddswitch · Oct 26, 2007, 10:35 PM // 22:35

They're not giving Canthans a chance to celebrate Halloween! It's implied that not all toons are equal. They (anet/peers) are telling consumers to buy another campaign. If it was fair then any celebration would be campaign-wide like Easter or Saint Patrick's Day, go figure.

NO WAY! A game company wants it's customers to buy ANOTHER product they sell? Are they insane??!?! If factions is the only chapter someone owns and they still play ...

Look at the brightside you got two Dragon festivals this year!

wow, i only posted this in the arvo and revisited it in the morning and already there are 2 pages of replies!

anyways, legit reasons all - i suppose it is fair how things are at the moment

lol if u only got factions i feal very very sorry for u

-Loki- · Oct 27, 2007, 01:37 AM // 01:37

I was pretty disappointed that they did Halloween in Elona. I wanted a different event there, so we had a different event at different times for each campaign.

If i remember correctly, you can;t have GWEN only players cause you need one other game with it.

Factions gets things like Tengu festival, dragon festival so i say they are actually getting +1 event than other campaigns, so stop the complaining.

Dreikki · Oct 28, 2007, 06:27 PM // 18:27

The GWEN only post was a joke and Day of the tengu isn't annual.

Mineria · Oct 28, 2007, 06:48 PM // 18:48

Can't the Cantha people join the Custom Brawl from the Temple?

The bulk of Anet is working on GW2. Not just the Factions team. There would be no way in hell that they could make that deadline if just 1 team was working on it.
