Update April 24, 2012

Anniversary Updates

- Made preparations for the Guild Wars 7th anniversary celebration.

- Elite Xunlai Bakery Agents, flush with pride after their careful placement of sprinkles, have assumed control of Birthday Cupcake distribution and are en route to their party destinations.

- Ceira, Sworn to Fire, has returned from another expedition bearing gifts from the gods: Hounds of Balthazar Ranger pets for all who visit her in Embark Beach during the celebration.

It seems that the Hounds of Balthazar is in the menagerie for 20 gold coins. I'm not sure though as i don't have 20 to spare

Am I the only one to be unable to update ? Game crashes systematically when applying the patch...

would love to get some pics of this new pet if any1 is willing to buy it

Hounds of Balthazar? I wonder if they will look as awesome as the GW2 elite.

I have the same problem...

Hold off on buying it. It only exists as a purchasable option for people that miss the Anniversary. Ceira will be handing them out for free during the event once it starts.

Thanks for clearing that up =)

Thanks for the fast input John. Probably saved a few people some z-coins.

i hope the hounds stay after the celebration (in the menagerie), as alot of people have work the whole week, and can only play in weekends, and not everyone has the z coins to get it

i myself have only 2 or 3 good enough chars to do some HM Z quests

i'd like to get it now, as i can wait with the panda, as i MAY get it from lockboxes, and can always get it after it, if the hounds disappear from the menagerie

i wonder what we have to do to get em in embark, hope its something nice, and not too challenging.... sigh, i can dream, but it wont help

EDIT:
oh, john stumme posted while i was typing, nvm this, sry

thx john

whew,

was sweating to figure out how to farm cupcakes, get 20 g zoins and do beta all in one week.

heart beat back to normal now

crashed, crashes the pc too

"Elite Xunlai Bakery Agents, flush with pride after their careful placement of sprinkles, have assumed control of Birthday Cupcake distribution and are en route to their party destinations."

I'm going to take a guess and say that this means lots of free cupcakes?

Your GW trojan is not compatible, you need a trojan update... j/k

Oh, baby.

More ranger pets.

Because people use those.

At the very least, I guess it's nice to see more GW2 tie-ins coming to GW.

I'd like to know how long the event is, because I'm likely to miss sixty hours of it.

woot woot!! new pet!! cant wait...now I can play all week and WEEKEND long and get me a nice new awesome pet.....(going to get my nap in now---)

(thanks John!!! )

I can't even log in now even using Admin on my pc, fix plz

For those with the crash issue, found this trick on the official forum :

I tried and it did the trick.

I'm so excited!!! Take that, all the doomsayers crying about how GW1 has been neglected

Wow, that Hound sure looks awesome

more like a Kitten of Balthazar
