Wintersday Redux and Canthan New Year - Guild Wars Forums

jotes · Jan 20, 2010, 11:48 AM // 11:48

As you know Wintersday Redux will be repeated 29th January to 7 February.

Its time when we usually get Canthan New Year. This year a chineese new year starts 14th ferbruary.

So will we get two special events one by one? 7th Feb end of Wintersday Redux and the next weekend CNY? I didnt heard any rumors about CNY this year. Was it cancelled?

Yes Canthan New Year will be a week after the Wintersday Redux.

Not at all, it will be run the week after that

It was scheduled for the 12th anyway, there wasn't anything postponed o_o The only reason it was a week earlier last year, was because, erm, that's when the actual Chinese NY was :P

Well That no NY for me. I'll be away on vacation. I take this moment to pre-order a celestial tiger.

They assume not all men like to watch other men pin each other to the ground in crotch-hugging tights.

On the other hand, I wasen't aware watching tv and playing guild wars was a hard task. Heaven forbid you turn your head toward the television.

EDIT: Even then, all the superbowl is about anymore is marketing, if your watching the superbowl for the football you are watching the wrong thing.

Dzjudz · Jan 20, 2010, 07:28 PM // 19:28

There are probably lots of events in other countries during certain GW events as well. Superbowl isn't anything special, especially for non-Americans.

I could understand the frustration if you had to be at the PC to get the rewards, but you don't. Park one of your characters and go watch football.

SpiritBond · Jan 20, 2010, 08:23 PM // 20:23

Lol, nice Event setup, 8 days of wintersday then the chanthan new year.

Its not Anets fault blame the NFL and TV stations.
How the heck can a game with Four 15 minute quarters take well over 3 hours to play.
Not to mention the extra 2 hours taken up by pre and post match footage.

Anyway even if you watch it all you would only miss a small part of the GW event.

**cosyfiep** · Jan 20, 2010, 10:20 PM // 22:20

there are PLENTY of people who dont give my rats behind about some american football game....besides, the NY finale lasts ALL DAY not just a few hours----watch your precccioussss game in the afternoon, in the morning do the finale, or after wards, or do what most people do AFK the whole thing, geez doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure that one out. (now the world soccer finals----that lots of people care about!).
glad they worked it out so that peeps who missed the hat may get one now.

Kordis Sol · Jan 21, 2010, 01:29 PM // 13:29
