With the completion of today's maintenance, Guild Wars 2 players will be able to take part in Lunar New Year events that begin in the Crown Pavilion in Divinity's Reach. Activities include Dragon Ball and the opening of Divine Lucky Envelopes as part of the celebration of the Year of the Dog.
Another new year dawns on Tyria—join the festivities in Divinity's Reach! The Year of the Dog is upon us, and the Lunar New Year festival returns with new rewards and activities. Collect and open lucky envelopes to earn essences of luck, delicious foods, fireworks, valuable items, and a chance to find the new Lucky Dog Lantern and Lucky Great Dog Lantern backpacks.
- Lunar New Year achievements have been split into three categories: New Year's Customs, for repeatable achievements and annual achievements that can be completed once a year; Lunar New Year, for one-time festival achievements; and Dragon Ball, for achievements specific to the Dragon Ball arena.
- A new seasonal adventure has been added to Divinity's Reach for the festival! Show your speed and talent by lighting off firecrackers that are spread across the city.
- A new seasonal race event has been unveiled in Divinity's Reach! Ring in the new year on your favorite mount—or get a head start on your exercise goals on foot—to earn new annual and daily achievements. Festivalgoers who haven't earned an official mount license can speak with a race coordinator to temporarily rent a mount for a small fee.
- The Dragon Ball arena has been updated with rebalanced skills and shorter match times.
- Lunar New Year festivities will be available until February 22
