They never did 2 festivals one after another like this.Well there will probably be 2 weeks or something between the festivals.it will be interesting to see such a close placement of festival events. if that is the case probably is good because the next update we might be looking at a longer period than expected.

Ayakaru.6583 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 To the devs, what made the choice for Hoelbrak?The Norn are still under tyranny of Svanir and the Serpent.Rather, the Charr were impacted the most by the brand.If anything, the black citadel should be celebrating the conquest over Kralkatorrik.

And didnt you watch the trailer? It looks absolutely lovely, I just cannot see such a festival happen in Black Citadel because its not so pretty there.

Dull with nothing but snow and wood. What makes the festival is the decorations, colours, fireworks, people and what else have you.The festival makes the area pretty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugo.4705 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 For the city, it's surely because Black citadel hosted a festival in the past: the tomb of blood prince thorn. Sure it wasn't within the city, but that's why hoelbrak was chosen, nothing never happened there. For the security, well, isn't jormag/primordy asleep and steve far away?

I think much of the decorations would be lost amongst the Citadel's structures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaxares.5419 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 What I'm most curious to know is if Dragon Bash will be returning as an annual festival, or if it's going to be a one time thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lare.5129 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 So 4-winds fest is off this year ?or after Dragon Bash we have 1-2 week pause and again fest ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Festival of the Four Winds has been held as a "festival" (meaning a repeating/recurring special event) only once, so there's no pattern for it to follow. Last year, it began on 24 July and ended on 14 AugustIf FotFW starts on the equivalent week this year, it could start on 23 July, with a one week gap between events. Or ANet could decide that they want a bit more room and begin it on 30 July. They might reduce the duration to two weeks, so still ending mid-August.tl;dr it could be any of a variety of thingsPersonally, I'm not fussed: my favorite period of GW2 was the first year, when things were happening all the time. I'd be happy to see that again, even if it would mean I'd miss some events and much of it would be recycled/reused from year to year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugo.4705 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 As shown in the trailer, you can earn skins: holographic dragon wings and dragon helmet. The main currency is zhaitaffy (named due to zhaitan), a candy tradable for those skins and other rewards.https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Piece_of_Zhaitaffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klypto.1703 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 This is all a pre-text to balancing the game economy after purple jewelry floods the market. So Aurene has to come in and create a blue jewelry market and brand everyone over after they sing bash the dragon. She will spare the thieves and mesmers though because they already can't fight back.

Ellegon Mcleod.5931 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Usually for this there would be an update and you get a mail. Soon 4pm UTC time usually. Also if you sit in the area you might not even see it till the new instances are loaded (if no patch needed) or once you rebooted to get the update. Then all the world boss trains will be heading that way - just don't get hurt in the stampede. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
