Default Halloween and Wintersday hats now
If Halloween and Wintersday going to be like Dragon Festival, no new hats but chance to get older hats, I hope we're allowed 2 hats each festival because you could in past years always get both hats by just doing finale twice.

The first year had just 1 hat.

But in any case, they'll probably let either just 1 hat, or maybe one quest in Lion's Arch, and another quest in Kamadan.

If they allow one hat per city, since Halloween and Wintersday had different hats in LA and Kamadan, I'll get the 2006 ones. Which include the pumpkin and snowman head.

Mirthful Dragon Mask

On the final day of the festival Emperor Kisu of Cantha will present participants with a brand new festival mask. This year's mask design is inspired by the great dragons of legend. Just collect 250 victory tokens during the festival and participate in one of the Emperor's finale events. Don't worry if you miss the finale, just speak with Imperial Supply Master Kagno after the festival. He'll remain in Shing Jea Monastery for one week after the festival ends to give players an opportunity to redeem 250 victory tokens for this year's brand new festival mask.
So did i read it correctly, we are getting a new dragon mask for 2012?
( Edit: nevermind, it's a recycled post from 2011)

That is what the offical Guildwars states yes new "Mirthful Dragon Mask". The confusion is in the post of the festival from the official wiki:
Noblewoman Sun Li now appears in Shing Jea Monastery and grants one Imperial Mask Token to players who complete her quest.
Imperial Supply Master Kagno now exchanges Imperial Mask Tokens for festival masks from years past.
Emperor Kisu no longer distributes festival masks during the final event.

This needs further clarification.

From the looks of things it will only be one token per account per year, so it's doubtful that we'll get more than that, or be allowed one token per town per account. However it is possible that things that came as a set (such as the scarves for this past Wintersday) would be offered as a set for one token.

You can't, they can't be dropped either.

ANet did not fully update their site when they added the new festival times. The Mirthful mask was released in 2011: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Mirthful_Dragon_Mask

Hi,

We've clarified the changes to the Dragon Festival event webpage here:
https://forum.guildwars.com/forum/fo...ge/1#post12016

Sorry about this oversight!

Didn't that get confirmed at some point by a dev at some point to be one token per festival per year? Or am I remembering wrong?

"That’s why players will be able to get hats from years prior, at the rate of one per year during each respective festival."
-Stephane Lo Presti, https://forum.guildwars.com/forum/fo...ge/1#post11864

This is, of course, subject to change when the events roll around. It will be especially interesting for the dual-hat Christmas years.

yeah clear as mud...which is why the whole thread was created and Stephane seemed to not answer.

guess 'we shall see' is the clearest answer we have right now?

So, thanks to those double click spam titles, my mouse is too sensitive, and i took the wrong hat not on purpose at all..

Not like i'm caring much, but for those kind of items untradable and available once/year, it would be fine to have a message like " Are you sure you want to take this item", like in every game for important items..

So should we take this as final confirmation that GW is pretty much done in terms of any new content in any form? Or is their a small shred of hope that after GW2 launches the live team can and will get back to working on events and small content updates?

As for the one hat per year per account, why do it that way? Does it really make that big a difference if you allow people to collect all of them at one time? Waiting an entire year just for a hat seems to be a bit much.

My question is whether the tokens are event-specific. If I don't want a Dragon Festival hat, could I save my hat token for Halloween and get 2 hats then (one with the token I earn during that event and one with the token I've saved from this event)?
