RubberDougie.2750 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Remember the days the duration of the event was posted in the update notes? Dougie does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Only a handful of times since it was a repeated request for end dates, which would be occasionally fulfilled and then forgotten about for the subsequent festival releases. Yes, I'd like to see it on a festival update notes every time or at the very least, the news page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any way to see this in-game? I know that the Super Adventure Festival has/had a countdown timer in the top left for when the festival would end.

mirthful.2541 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 It’s February 18 and it’s still going on. Holding off using Black Lion keys so I don’t waste them on Lunar NY junk. When does it really end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perihen the Thawk.9527 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I'm guessing since Anet was largely snowed out of their offices last week they probably pushed many things back a week, possibly including the end of the festival. If that's the case I would expect it to end tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 The festival did end on the 12th. All the decorations are gone, Dragon Ball is inaccessible, the magic find boost is gone, it's no longer possible to get lucky red envelopes etc. Although Black Lion Chests are often themed around a festival or other recent event they're not actually part of them and don't always update at the same time. We're not likely to get new chests until the next release or big update, which is probably going to be episode 6. But the only difference between different themed chests is the black lion weapon sets included and the guaranteed item, and the 1-2 account bound cosmetics but those are often carried over to new chests, everything else stays the same.

Randulf.7614 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 The festival ended last week? If you mean bl stuff tho, they can sometimes linger a bit longer until a new cycle kicks in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holding off using Black Lion keys so I don’t waste them on Lunar NY junk. When does it really end? The Lunar New Year BL Chests were quite possibly the worst ones ever. I don't personally know of anyone who got anything beyond common (and yes, I know about RNG, you take your chances, buyer beware, etc.). Truly terrible drops.

Holding off using Black Lion keys so I don’t waste them on Lunar NY junk. When does it really end? BL chests never just "end" since there is no "default state" to return to - they change with the *next release*. Rarely, this happens at the same time a festival ends, but usually it's another week or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eloc Freidon.5692 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 That seems to be an issue with events. You have to really look to find the dates (not posted on website news directly) and they end in the beginning of the day rather than the end of it. Might as well not include that day at all.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Though, the hyperlink to the page _with_ the ending date may be included on the News Blog page.
