Woot! More Nian is always cool.

Now we just need a mini Nian (that's not 100k+ rare) or something.

From the wallpaper slideshow it looks like LA and Kamadan are getting some CNY decorations too or did they get that last year as well?

I'm liking the Ox too.

Yeah, I think the Rat was from the fortunes only, and the dish reward at the end was the 5 crates of fireworks.

Looks like decorations will be added this year. Haven't attended the last two, so don't know if this is new.

I'm pretty sure the decorations in LA and Kama are new, because I recall ppl complaining that it was Cantha-only, then responses back that there are several events which exclude Cantha

I seem to recall last year that I kept using fortunes until I got 1 celestial rat, then exchanged the rest in for tokens for afking in 9 rings

Lions Arch and Kamadan have always got decorations.

A heads up to those hoping to get tons of lunar tokens to trade for fortunes - once you've got a good amount of lunar tokens head over to LA and look for Lucky Hochei. Playing rock paper scissors with this guy is a great way to score lunar fortunes and sugary blue drinks.

Sorry, but LA and Kamadan never had this event in the past. And I still believe it should be unique to only to Cantha, it should stay that way.
Did Cantha get Halloween + Wintersday decorations? No.
Cultural uniqueness should stay within the birthplace of origin.
Decorations out of LA and Kamadan please, thank you.

p.s the decorations in La and Kamadan looks out of place and lame imo.

You sir, are Wrong

Ill just quote this piece of text;

Quote:
While the bulk of the Canthan New Year's Festival, including the celestial feast, takes place in Shing Jea, Canthans living abroad have taken their customs with them as well. So expect Lion's Arch and Kamadan to host smaller celebrations, complete with traditional New Year's decorations.
Please learn to know what the hell you are talking about.

Wallpaper and minipet don't look that great, but I'm more interested in the mask.

If the mask looks anything like the animal's (Nian's?) head in that picture, it could be the best mask I've seen since the Dragon Mask.

Bracing for letdown in ~1.5 weeks.
