Dragon Bash... might have Sunsouth Cove issue all over again!
The Dragon Bash is coming! Arriving to Guild Wars 2 on June 11th, check all the info here: https://www.guildwar...s/june-11-2013/ ~
With the new update and in game event coming up next week. We might see a nice drop in numbers in WVW. Everyone will want to do the new stuff. Plus who does not love dragons. Since this is more of a in game fun event not really part of the key PVE Story line. More people will be wanting to do this event. The really big down side is it is 1mn long and events taking place over the course of that 1mn time frame.

Dragon Bash Events
Fight to Keep Your Spot on the PvP Leaderboards
We’ve improved the way that the PvP leaderboards reflect excellence! Inactive players will automatically start to slip down the leaderboards over time, allowing new and active players an opportunity to fight their way up to a higher rank. This means that the leaderboards will more accurately represent the best PvP players.
Authorized Shoutcaster Program
In the new Authorized Shoutcaster Program, when highly rated PvP teams are matched-up in rated play, authorized shoutcasters will receive a notification and be allowed to enter that match as a spectator to bring you the action on a slight time delay.

Haha. Well, he posted first anyway 
. Well, on SeñorHueso's issue, I think all servers will experience a drop in WvW population for a while anyway, since (almost)everyone will be celebrating Dragon Bash. Thing is that this thing starts right after Last Stand of Southsun's "Finale" ends, a finale that starts on June 4, so I think we'll start seeing the drop there as everyone will return to Southsun to kill the new monster bosses.
With the random system, There's a chance that we'll be fighting servers below or above us, and prevents the same match-up twice in a row, so best not to worry about it and just enjoy Dragon Bash!

I wanted to post this in the news section but not able to. Plus I was unsure since I thought this was PVP related. I know how last time when the Cove came out. We had a big drop in numbers and BP / AR more so BP had great numbers. I mean we still own both of them, just pissed of the regular WvW people that so many guildies could not make it to raid night due to the events. S

Yeah the news section is locked up so we don't get random news. Just official news.
No worries though, post it up on the general forum and I'll generally see it and move it over for you.

Ah, look at all those pretty Cantha assets they'll never be able to use. :<
I also want those wings. I don't care how many baby seals I have to strangle to get them either.

I just don't get why is it so hard to just put the skins in the gem store. Ok, some of them will be bought with gold to gems thing, but some people will be more willing to pay money for actual skins then RNG bullshit of any other useless gem store items.
I know it has something to do with asian market, but still it's just weird and backwards.

Here's a link to images of all the skins: http://www.guildwars...-weapon-gallery
They said they were making the boxes that give tickets drop more often, and making the tickets more likely to drop. I'm excited because I want so many of those.
I'll be farming holograms all month. Need 100k zhaitaffy to get the holographic wings.
