I think there’s some room for improvement.

Like, a LOT of improvement.

Here are a few suggestions:

Jorbreaker Rewards
100 Jorbreakers later and only one reward? I don’t know about you, but that’s pretty lousy. If you’re going to have a reward system like this, at least give us a few other items along with the must have one. For example, some town clothes or novelty items. Also, drop the amount of Zhaitaffy needed to get Jorbreakers, but increase the cost of the rewards needed (i.e. 1 Jorbreaker = 200 Zhaitaffy, but the Dragon Wings now cost 300 Jorbreakers).

Moa Racing
Instead of making us just sit there and watch, why not make us the Moas and let us do the racing? You’d only have one ability, Dakitten can be used as much as you want, but the more times you use it, the longer the cooldown for it becomes (you could gain a condition called ‘Exhausted’, which increases the cooldown by 1 second each stack), so this leads to some skill involved, rather than just pot luck.

Of course, you still have to pay to enter, but make it 10s instead of 50. All the people taking part get put into a pen, transformed into a Moa, and all the money gets put into a pot. 1st place wins 50% of the pot and 10 tickets, 2nd wins 25% and 5 tickets, and 3rd wins 10% and 3 tickets. The other 15% goes into the money sink. Those placing 4th or lower get 1 ticket. Again, this does mean a bigger selection of rewards and some cost changes. This may sound like a big risk, but this game needs some more ‘Risk vs. Reward’ stuff in it, and this would do nicely… for a start anyway.

Story
Don’t bother with one next time. I don’t see why every event needs to have something happen that could threaten the balance of the world. I know this one was setting up for the next Living Story, but it wasn’t that good. Just a normal event where we can have fun with no strings attached.

Now I know how Yugi feels when all he wants to do is play a children’s card game.

Dragon Ball
Nothing wrong with the game in general (to me anyway), but there needs to be an auto balance or team scramble at the end of each round, as the matches I played tended to get one sided. Also, some unique PvP rewards would be nice. Only getting a single Dragon Coffer from a win is not gonna keep people playing this for long. This would also make the Holograms out in the world worth something.

Mini Games
This needs to be something for all Holiday events, not just this one. There needs to be more smaller games that people can quickly play and earn some of the current holiday’s currency. Easier games get you a few bits of whatever you need, while the harder ones give you more (again, some sort of ‘Risk vs. Reward’ system). These wouldn’t replace any of the larger games that come with the event, but it just gives you something else to do.

Atmosphere
There may be a celebration going on, but it sure doesn’t feel like it. You don’t hear any of the NPCs talking about the event or even seen to be partying. They just act as if everything is the same.

That’s about as much as I can think of for the time being.

Any thoughts on what I suggested?

Any positives are nullified by the way the jade tickets were handled. People who don’t want any get loads, and I who really wanted one, get none. Why are they not tradable?

Jade tickets should remain as rare as they are to get, but should be available for trade. I really wanted multiple tickets for different weapons and was lucky enough to get them, but not everyone is or will be. It’d be nice if, now that I got my weapons, that I could sell my extra tickets to people who want them.

Agree. I got 1 ticket from relatively small amount of coffers, but I don’t like the skins at all. They should be tradeable.

Ehh, I don’t like the idea of actually being a moa and doing the race myself.

However, the way they did it where you bet and they run off and you never know who came in what place unless you win something was just unbelievably poorly thought out. Who came up with that idea? A monkey? Seriously, how bout a race track where you can watch the moa’s race and at least see what is going on? Or, at the very least, let us know which moa’s came in what place at the end. It really was very disappointing and boring.

I think they spread themselves too thin here. The moa races, the dragon ball and the story. I would have ditched the dragon ball and just spent more time on the story and event itself. It didn’t really bring anything to the table worth mentioning anyway.

As for the tickets, they would never make them tradeable because that would mean less money. It’s relatively easy to make gold in this game and if people could trade them, there would be a lot on the market and Anet wouldn’t see a dime for any of them. Let’s face it, they don’t care if you or most of the people who didn’t get a ticket are happy. As long as the money is flowing, they are happy.

getting 10k zhaitaffy is really too much…….

I have opened almost several hundreds of coffers, no ticket at all……

It seems as though most of this is just people complaining about not getting their Jade Tickets.

I seriously don’t see what the big deal is. They’re just weapon skins.

If you want to go complain about that, please go do it in one of the other thousands of topics people have been making here.

Can we please get back on topic with this post and talk about the event itself, the ideas I have suggested and how ANet can improve it for next time? Thanks
