I usually see Something by the week of an event. Is Anet too tied up with XTH to realize it is festival time?

I hope they put some kind of an announcement out today.

Let me know if I have missed something somewhere, but I have looked in all the normal places.

Signed,
Would really be disappointed

Announcements usually come midday on Tuesdays. Still several hours before I expect to see anything. Plus, it happens every year, I'm sure all they have to do is flip a switch and it rolls out, same program as before, etc.

The person who recalled that we typically publish an event page a week before the event is correct. The web team is working on publishing the event page for that this week.

I can't say what the mask will be, but I've seen the artwork and it's AWESOME. I personally like it more than last year's.

I think a lot of people will like it (though of course it won't be to everyone's taste, as with all things.

I believe the dragon festival is the only festival that has a HAT collector for a week after the weekend. So get a friend to gather 250 tokens for you, and you're set.

Imperial Supply Master Kagno will remain in Shing Jea Monastery for one week following the festival to give attendees who missed the finale a chance to redeem their 250 Victory Tokens for the new mask.

Anet has become very slacky so far this year in regards to event announcements.
What i used to like ( used to being key words ) about gw was the way they told in advance of events - this got ppl excited and sometimes doing missions etc to get to those places.Now its crossed fingers and hope the events soon and be rdy for the lag of ppl joining - like last time they never announced the drop event at easter.
Surly they have 1 staff member who can copy previous event announcments ( on website ) and by simple edit get it up so we can all be happy and know when things are on.

Seeing as we've already gotten the grasp and the demon actors masks, I'm betting the new one will be one of the remaining masks
Giant torment claw on the head FTW!

Well... actors have 5 masks:
- Banished dream rider
- Chaos Wurm.
- Grasp of Insanity
- Scythe of Chaos
- Torment Claw

We already had the Grasp and the Scythe...

So... the logical asumption would be this one:

Not at all true. They did the EXACT same thing last year. There was even a thread like this panicing about "I heard rumors its not happening this year ZOMG."
And you actually post this AFTER someone already posted a quote were Regina says they are about to update the website.

Anyway, agree with Jiggles. Gamer points ftw! Rank 4 here I come (so I really like snowball arena, sue me).
