Talk:Dragon Festival 2008

Mask
Are we sure its going to be a Grasp mask? Could just be a picture of one of the people dressed up as Grasp's during the quests and events. PossessedLinebeck 21:05, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * yes we are. says so here - http://www.guildwars.com/events/ingame/dragonfestival2008/ 70.179.132.143 23:54, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * They always do a render on the event page before it turns out to be the real deal. This is how many of the more recent ones got discovered ahead of time.  Also spares some QQ'ing over not knowing the details though since the overwhelming majority of 12 y/o's still spam "when do we get mask" or "what is mask this year" I wouldn't count on literacy to get the info out.  98.219.48.111 00:24, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

This is the most successful Boycott I've ever seen. Everyone's over at the Official Wiki 'cept me! LOL 78.16.41.111 01:29, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Incorrect Finale Times
The times you are quoting are GMT NOT GMT+1 The first event was 1000 GMT+1 (BST)
 * Someone's listed it as GMT-7 when it's always been GMT-8 - I've just been in the Shing Jea Monastery patiently waiting at 7pm as listed on the table and Kisu hasn't shown up - I realise someone's listed the times wrong so I'm gonna change it Saul Lachance 18:10, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh I just checked the official site and they're listing it as GMT-7 ... they've cocked up but there's no point in me changing the table because people will just moan it's what it says on the official site oh well Saul Lachance 18:14, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

GMT does not change for Daylight Savings, so GMT-7 is correct. &mdash; kyrasantae   18:35, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Festival Prize Count
I got 13 reds gifts while most people there at the same time only got 12. — TulipVorlax 17:40, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

I had 2 characters in five finales and they both received 14, 12, 13, 13, 13 festival prizes each. Most other people in the same district reported the same counts. A few were a higher or lower. One player reported getting 22, 13, 26 during three events that he attended. Separ 19:50, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Another character that reported getting 26 Festival presents to my 13 said he received them about every 30 seconds. Separ 22:08, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Teamwork
I was disappointed to see that many players don't understand we don't have to *compete* in the Celestial minigame, we have to play as a team. If a Grasp comes towards you while you carry a Celestial Charge, you obviously drop it to avoid being killed. But most people just steal the charge from you and, of course, get killed. Not to mention the leechers :( The Masquerader 19:39, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Minigame
It says that when you are caught by the Grasps with a celestial charge you have to wait 30 seconds to be rezed, but in each occasion where I was caught I didn't have to wait at all. It may only rez you at 30 second intervals but I didn't happen to catch what time I was killed at so I dont know. In either event I'm removing it now. If somebody wants to test if there is an interval they can, but I'll remove it now. Born to Mes 00:47, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
