Feedback about the Event..

I'm not about to 'test' it out any more than it already happened. I like my account. ;-p

I think it's fun, I've got my rat after a couple of easy quests and now I'm enjoying racing, I don't know why people are so angry.

More more more!!!

I love this event, especially on the forums.

I like it except for the miniature pig mess. That was reckless thinking on ANets part which made a lot of people wealthy from buying pigs for 2k from the uninformed and selling them for 30k.

I chose not to exploit these people and take the moral highground and I have gained nothing from it. Moral of the story: be greedy and rip off people whenever the oppurtunity arises.

- I can't comprehend what you're trying to say here. Nothing has changed in fireworks. If you use them, you get point towards title track. If you don't care about titles, then just ignore them. If you do care about titles, then wtf is your problem? Are you just jealous that other people might have titles that you don't have and now you're compelled to sell your soul to get the next big thing? In that case the problem is within your head, not in the game.

Celestial pig will be 20k or even less in 2 weeks so ill buy one then =p

for the rest im enjoying the event sofar.. so no complaints here <3

Pretty much agree with this. I, personally have no use for titles in general, though I have become more interested in them recently. I actually like the idea of a new title. I will probably never reach the highest tier (much like wisdom, treasure hunter, drunkard, sweet tooth, etc), but it's nice that it finally racks up a counter for how much 'fun' my character has.

As for the event itself... meh. Just a repeat of last year. These events are fun as hell the first time through, and more of a "going through the motions" each time thereafter. New sparklies don't really make up for the copy+paste of the rest of the event. So it's a rat this year. Yay. Plus, I was really looking forward to an actual rat minipet, not the celestial star-covered crap we got. Not complaining, mind you, just a little let down.

Overall, it's an event, and I am grateful to Anet for this small injection of interest. I'll enjoy it as best I can while it lasts.

Don't mean to sound shallow, but my biggest issue this year is with the lack of a new hat, and of course the pig thing just seems extremely unfair. Maybe the new end of event item will be great, and completely make up for it, but this is the first time I've had little interest in actually attending the event. I will just to see what we get at the end, but if it's bad, and this becomes the new trend, then I don't see myself bothering to come to these anymore.

To be entirely honest I think this is the worst event... Everything just sucks about it. The whole no new hat thing is just lame then the promote the hording of items with the pig thing. I'm over the events at this point.

Its a normal event, if you ddont like it either explain why..not just rant.

as in why is it different compared to last year?
and only event related things none of the mystic regen stuff,jsut move on.

Yes , I'm rich, and having a lot of fun

i love the beetle races!

Well done Anet!

I'll wait until after the event finale is over to give my opinion - not complain about the event because i couldnt get a certain miniature or because i dont have enough fireworks to go for a title like everyone else seems to be doing.

I'm ok with the event right now, got my celestial rat and just gathering up my tokens so I cna get more stuff.

I haven't got a rat from 200+ fortunes. I did all quests on my 4 characters that have access to shing yea so I guess no rat for me. I guess I'm just unlucky This is my only complaint about the event

EDIT: at least I'll get about 15p from all sparklers, drinks, etc. so I'll be able to (hopefully) buy one...
EDIT2: finally got my rat while opening present with other character...yay

/fail/fail/fail/infinitefail.
One year after and you need 5 mini pigs that were worthless and given away like....absolutely nothing else...
GG ANet, bad event 100% fail...

Well I must be unlucky. I've opened around 200 fortunes that I've collected the tokens for across my characters and not a single rat.

Not bothered, must admit this is the first event that I really don't care about. Perhaps it's all the mini pig shenannigins and general burn out.. but I'm completely losing interest. Might as well AFK the finale and see if I can stockpile whatever item is that will drop, after all why bother farming the ingredients till my eyes bleed when I can just leech a present by district hopping and reaping the rewards later right?

pffft.

This event has been and will be all in all rather disappointing.

The failure to fix the things that should have been fixed and the failure to fix things that shouldn't have been fixed (multiple rewards on hitting boxes in rollerbeetle racing opposed to fixing the rubberbanding and lag issue and fixing the ability to create and delete characters in order to farm tokens)

The entire top 100 racing time thing that's going on is just so darn broken.

# The GW-engine just isn't fit for racing games
# The same players that know how to get the highest times will dominate the scoreboard, hence the availability of a mere 20~ prizes
# No clarification whatsoever by ANet on the distrubition and inability to fix top times per account
# The lack of a ladder that should have been established to grant the better players a top position and not just the lucky players
# The lack of a testing arena so people can see where/when to use their skills
# The resigning bug

The promotion of hoarding items is pretty bad also, keeping 5 slots for an Unstackable, virtually worthless miniature wasn't a smart move, so many people got rid of their pigs before they got valueable and worth keeping.

Also the way behind introduction of a Party Animal title track was a bad move, I've used thousands of items before the introduction of it and so have many others.


The AFK-zone that is Nine Rings Monastery isn't very challenging either.
Parking characters for 72 hours in a ring isn't the greatest way to get a title in my opinion.

The lack of rewards and the fact you don't get nearly enough gamer points for a win in Dragon Arena isn't very stimulating to play another Mini-game either.

The repeating Quest-line that everyone has completed around 20 times hasn't changed the tiniest bit and the lack of new elements this event just makes it even less worthwhile.

So far, A summary for this event, Enjoy,

Avalon

why the pessimism?

i'm having a blast.

Perhaps it is because i have done a lot in the past year, and forgot most of the events .

Thanks Anet DDDD

That's just summing up the general mistakes this event, didn't I read "I am rich" in your post a couple pages back somewhere?

No wonder you're having a blast making money off of this event.

Good for you though

EDIT: there it is

You make some fair points there, i agree.
Yet the whole Event isn't that bad i think.
But there is something i don't like, it's this new title:

Make the "Party Animal" title track account based and not for each character.
Like you said, how many items haven't you used before this title was intruduced.
Like so many other titles, this is enoying to get if not all your characters can enjoy it. ex: Why should gamer and lucky/unlucky be account based? couse they can only be obtained at a surten time and during events? sounds like limiting the titles to players. Mabye that's the reason, i don't know. Just a observation i made.
