Lunar New Year for an event???

This is not cultural diversity.
This is second hand content that killed OUR dragon bash for THEIR festival.Quit being so melodramatic. Dragon Bash happens in June. This festival didn’t replace it or anything else prior. There is no our or their festival. It’s everyone’s festival.
Whether you participate is up to you.
if this was true we would get this festival since the release but we got it only after china client was released, pretending otherwise doesn’t make sense

I didn’t say it wasn’t released this year because of the Chinese servers and Pacific community’s inclusion. I’m saying it’s a holiday everyone can celebrate. Please note I said everyone again.
That said, if you don’t like it, and to use your words are ‘personally insulted’, please feel free to play something else.

Dragon Bash = Revamped Dragon Festival, both of which occur/occurred in June. The Canthan New Year festival was separate. This festival didn’t “kill” anything; the fact that another dragon was reawoken in the months following Dragon Bash killed Dragon Bash (for now). Seriously. Give it a rest.
Why are you all being so racist? I am a white male born and raised in America and I not only know about Chinese New Year, I’ve celebrated it with Chinese friends. This is such a pointless argument to be made. It is extra content that you can choose to go and play or not play. I personally do my two matches a day for dailies and think the content was a bust but only because it was lacking and not because of it’s intentions.
The fact is, the Chinese and Western clients are the same. We get the same content updates so the developers only have to work on one version of the game.
Maybe get off your uncultured kitten and experience the world. America is a place where cultures collide and mix. Are you seriously going to tell me you’ve never heard of Chinese New Year? Do you live under a rock? I bet your mind would be blown to find out that the Jews have their own New Year too! It’s almost like we all have different calendars that started at different times.
don’t call me racist is false accusation and rude
the problem is i don’t care about chine or other not western holidays and this is a problem for me’; anet didn;t make this festival with proper lore background, it’s not canthan it’s only china fan service which for na/eu players is second hand content
You really don’t want to go there, Pulsarian. Remember, you opened that door with your example. Please keep politics out of this discussion.
Already bad, and toxic, enough with what Segman is saying.

I am offended with the hate speach you use towards me. I hope you will be punished.
Since it’s celebrated in Korea (NCSOFT’s home country) as well as China (where NCSOFT wants to expand into), we get it. They on the other hand have to put up with Halloween.
We are heroes. This is what we do!
RIP City of Heroes

Well, at least Guilds Wars 2 isn’t Aion. That game was a piece of work….
Would it offend and shock the OP that Koreans celebrate Lunar New Year as well with an occasional variance of 1 day?
P.S Nvm someone brought this up. Not to mention the Vietnamese, Tibetians and Mongolians.
Apologies to those who may find my posts on GW2 forums offensive and hateful.

I guess it would be even more shocking some Americans celebrate the holiday too. It’s not like we have whole areas and districts with Asian communities in the United States. You know what would be real funny? If some of those areas were called China Town. Maybe even Little Korea or Tokyo.
Oh wait.

You’re absolutely right. I think anet was out of place adding this on a NA servers. Perhaps they wanted to generate money from lunar event items in the cash shop, or use it so that they wouldn’t have to develop different content for NA servers.
I am all for a MLK Civil Rights festival in GW2 to cater for the NA market. As well as Memorial Day.
As long as they add more content and make it fit within GW2 universe and make nice skins more power to the devs.

You’re really going there, Pulsarian? Really?

Since he already went there, there should be more Hispanic themed festivals as well as it is the fast growing demographic in the USA. Not sure abt Canada though. No objections here as well.

Excellent point, Khal. But, man, I’m stepping away from this thread before a moderator nukes everything in sight.
