i love events, the more the better.

They can have the event, just not the Tengu Helm. Thats my idea for it!

Just put some reason like:
The Celestial Ministry does not want us to be crafting our Tengu Masks, as it may instigate Naga troubles on Shing Jae Island.

Mabye you guys can think up something better.

I was just thinking about this because its getting near that time again. I would just like to get a VERY different, although equally cool, Tengu mask

It was a shame I missed out on this one. I'd certainly be keen to see a similar event, perhaps with the mask somewhat different to preserve some of the uniqueness. I, as well as a number of friends out my way preordered the collector's edition of Factions but sadly it was delayed reaching us so we only got it 2 or 3 days after the event due to some distribution problems in NZ.

Honestly though, while I can understand people's want to preserve their uniqueness, as a general rule it doesn't really bother me if other people get access to an event which allows them to get a mask I already have. As long as people are having fun, great stuff.

It wasn't supposed to be a holliday, just an event to celebrate the end of the Tengu Wars.

FelixCarter · Apr 16, 2007, 02:24 AM // 02:24

I have never felt like a Title or Item has lost it's "elite value" just because ANet thought everyone should have a chance to get it. All it means is that the game is more fun to a broader audience.

If I have an AWSOME item that removes DP, others have the same chance to get it. If I have a Tengu Mask, others should be able to check one out sometime. I won't think any less of them just for wanting to have fun. ^_^

EDIT: /Signed, btw >.>

Hyper Cutter · Apr 16, 2007, 04:36 AM // 04:36

/signed. All they need to do is make a different version of the mask, just like they did at Halloween and Wintersday. There are at least 3 or 4 different Tengu models available, after all...

I got screwed on my tengu mask...

I pre-ordered factions and then best buy (those idiots) put my pre-order on back-order, and I didnt get the damn thing until a week after launch.

Griff Mon · Apr 16, 2007, 04:59 AM // 04:59

I don't care about the hat, just open the boardwalk and the arenas-- the more events the merrier, the hat would be different anyway, just like it was for Halloween and Wintersday.

Winterclaw · Apr 16, 2007, 05:28 AM // 05:28

I'm going to have to agree with others that it was supposed to be for pre-order people only. However I might be willing to /sign it if there were some way to keep it that way.

EDIT: For example you need to have a tengu mask on in order to get access to the events.

Sounds a bit off to me.

Well, I did pre-order Factions, I collected 250 naga fangs, but didn't have time to cash them in at one of the emperors visits. I still have my 250 fangs, but no mask...

MithranArkanere · Apr 16, 2007, 01:12 PM // 13:12

Day of Tengu is an 'annual' party, isn't it?

Just make another mask design, there are many Different tipes of tengu (Hawk-face, Eagle-face, Crow-face, etc...)

The preorder was 'exclusive enteing BEFORE others' not to 'keep a party for themselves'.

You got the party because you entered earlier.

Yes, THAT mask, THAT party, in THAT time was preorder.
But if they make a new party this year, it WILL be opened to EVERYONE.

Do I make myself clear?

That they should create a new mask SIMILAIR but not exactly the same so those that couldn't join last year (Hell -- I HAD a preorder but was away that weekend) could still get one (-:

Crimso · Apr 16, 2007, 05:28 PM // 17:28

I'm sure everyone who pre-ordered got the chance for the tengu mask (I think every got sent(emailed) an order code. I like to think the tengu mask is like the divine aura it's exclusive, It would be strange to repeat the event as it was'nt so big(just a few quests).

Odinius · Apr 16, 2007, 05:43 PM // 17:43

Taken from here

As you know, the Head Start allows access to the lands of Cantha a full 24 hours before the game’s global release. During those hours, Cantha is hosting a special event—Day of the Tengu—where players celebrate the -->First<-- anniversary of peace since the cessation of the Tengu Wars. But all is not peace and harmony even now, for the day’s events are threatened by a return of the vile Naga.

Seems to me there will be another...

See you in Cantha on April 27th!

I think what he was trying to get at was that many, many people, myself included actually did pre-order Factions and was anticipating the official launch, but for one reason or another, wasn't able to play the game during the 24 hour head start, nor on the official launch day due to various reasons - oh say because of work and family. Let's also get the record straight that the mask was NOT a pre-order item like the Dagger and Staff were for the A and Rt professions. The mask was simply an event reward given to those players who were able to play on launch day and collect the 250 fangs necessary to trade in. There was much ado about this on the forums at the time, which is one of the reasons why many of the events now last several days, and the Dragon Festival hat trader was around for nearly a week after the event.

I don't see anything wrong with making this an annual event as any of the other holiday events are and offering a new hat during the event. Can anyone say that the first Halloween or Christmas hats are lame and cheapened after the second go around? Can anyone honestly say that the Dragon Mask or Lion Mask will be cheapened and Lame once the second annuals for those events come around again? Let's get real people. There should be no reason not to have this event again and offer a 2007 Tengu Mask in return.

/signed only if the hat is different than for the pre-order First Anniversary.

Tempy · Apr 16, 2007, 09:33 PM // 21:33

The Head Start Event and the Day of the Tengu quest series are available only to pre-order customers of Guild Wars Factions. Quoted from the above link to the announcement on the GW site...what part of ONLY is open to debate???
