Valandil Dragonhart.2371 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I just finished making my annual Guild Hall decoration, and I have to say I'm rather disappointed with the lack of effort Anet put into creating this year's offering Take a look at any of the other statues and they're bold, proud, sturdy and somewhat celebratory, like a statue should be. This looks like a dartboard with a gold pig's head stuck to it. I guess my gripe here is Anet's lack of continuity with their statues - the past 4 years they've been relatively the same or comparable, and this just feels like a wasted effort. I believe the designers behind this could've done better but just didn't bother, which is a shame. https://paste.pics/63818863651fe716edca068eb744a9d7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameepa.6793 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Indeed, I was hoping for a normal piggy statue in same style as the previous ones were. Not a butchered boar trophy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamont.5973 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I don't mind the look so much - though I was saving a spot for an actual statue in my decoration for the new year. But it is so dang small. I do have to agree this was a real let down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just your picture alone should show that continuity with the yearly Lunar new year decorations never was a thing because I see: - no lantern, normal standard statue - lighted red Lantern on the statue with a bit of extra decoration/bamboo - uncoloured unlighted lantern with uncoloured standard - coloured unlighted lantern on coloured standard - lighted lanterns on wall-mounted head And really, the first Lunar new year decorations are still better than the yearly statue, that differs in design year on year. If we're talking about disappointment, to me its that there's only a new statue that goes with the animal. And even then, imo everything after the monkey was kind of meh.

HumbleMoe.4391 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 This one is a scribe/decorator’s nightmare. A statue of the gold pig mini would be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaFishBob.6518 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Wow, that's basically just a boar's head trophy repainted gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexa Scorpionwitch.8567 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I find it disturbing that the "Lucky" boar is dead, decapitated, and mounted on a board.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eloc Freidon.5692 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I was expecting a massive boar trophy instead of this weakness. Can't wait to see rat with it fitting in a cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
