    I don't recall, but I remember reading that it periodically spits stuff out. Either way, new News post tomorrow after Maintenance will give all the detail you need (except for how much grinding you'll have to complete to earn it). :)

    Yeah the Water balloon animation is totally ruined at the moment , I'm guessing it has something to do with the new water fight event , we are getting new Water fight stuff too .

    Can we(I) please really, really Q.Q and whining about hitting such a fun dragon Pinata?
    Is a mexican in your staff or how do you come with so a freaking funny Pinata hitting item? xD
    Is it the same like last year? Collecting flowers, slaying trolls and getting corn/pigs/chickens?

    Edit: Is the Pinata a permanent consumable like tymora lucky coin/liira bell?

    Considering they deleted all flowers from player inventories with the release of Mod 4, I sure don't hope so. I had around 15k flowers I legitimately farmed and then never got a chance to spend due to an unexpected hospital stay, was looking forward to have those if the event ever got recycled.

    Could have told us a week ago so we can be ready!

    There's nothing to get ready about. All resources have to be farmed at the events of this fest. :p

    I as well had over 10.000 flower peddels. I have a ticket running for over a week with support.
    First they told it was normal when a event ends some items get deleted.

    I told them they were in my inventory for over a year.
    You can understand how big my suprice was when i saw the summer event being anounced today.
    Still in the reply i got on the same day they let us know the event will return. No knowledge has been shown of them knowing the event is comming back

    I really can not apreciate this kind of action. It feels sneeky and slimy. On top off that when it is adressed to them in a ticket they deside not to just give a strait awnser and tell you how it really is.

    How many people still have stuff from old events in there inventory? And for good reason becourse a lot of the event return after some time.

    Is this really the only way this could have been handeled? Why rub players the wrong way.

    I know we are asking for things to stack, but dont just delete all that hard work. I know I missed out on turning in my winter event stuff cause my comp temp broke down. If I have to fish another 30 days I wont be happy. Cause fishing was boooorrring.

    Fret not. There will be bottomless waterskin, too. I was hoping for yet another sunite weapon for my CW, but we'll be having some farmer reskins. Ha! Will be hoarding piggies again!

    The pinata could be very interesting - imagine if when you dropped it, everyone just got 1-2 whacks at it, so all in the area can get a chance for its duration. It'd make it a really great party/team item.

    I'm hoping they addressed some of tedious aspects, like endless fire blossom petal farming. I hope the farm weapons are nice - a cool pitchfork or shovel could work well, if done right.

    Deleting the flowers is annoying. I had some on two characters. Not enough for an item, but still - we earned them. I hope that they are putting them back with maintenance this morning, or this topic will become 75 pages of complaints.

    I guess I had better take screenshots of the Winter currencies. And my fish! I have the purple and blue fish in my bank, got rid of the others.

    Due to the fact I always go on vacation around the new year, I wasn't able to participate for more than a few days in the Winter Festival - not long enough to get any of the items I wanted - I just expected to be able to continue a year later, but if my currency items get deleted just like that, I will be pretty annoyed.

    Summer festival is not an issue for me...had only a handful of flowers etc leftover once I had gotten all the stuff I wanted (several sets of fashin otems, armored boar and the waterballoon).... still missing that blue ribbon pig, though - was going to get that this year.
    Hoping for improvements...

    Guess my enthusiasm for farming stuff for these events might drop into the negative range. Considering all the time spent in farming those petals, only to have it wiped out, just before the event. Very sneaky.
    So yes, hope it was a glitch and add the petals back to provide some motivation again. :/

    I bought some leftover Summer Provisioning supplies from the Auction House last week.

    This is an AWESOME event that doesn't take a lot of time for dailies - especially if you team up with a buddy or two.

    Thank you for bringing back the Summer festival! It has a great feel to it and offers a rather nice respite from the daily grind :)

    The pig is my all-time favorite mount and I am looking forward to earning it for the toons I didn't have last time. And some Sunite outfits of course.

    Please make the festival longer, and festivals in general. I was on vacation for the last event and couldn't participate at all. I really wanted to get that new mount :( The summer festival could last a month easy!

    Thank you,
    Philip

    After looking into the event, it just suck.
    The Pinata is a useless - buy it every time you will hit it - item one time consumable instead of a high cost permanent one.
    What is new? I think the normal horse.(I remember only the two pigmounts)
    Then the farmergear...
    Pinata...
    Anything else? Two new permanent water splashes? (Wasn't it so, that you could craft one last year with the temp profession???)

    Are people required to transfer Zen into the game once each day
    for each of the drawings? Or does one transfer at any point make
    you eligible for all the remaining drawings?

    They make MMOs, I'm guessing making a consumable item is a lot easier then making pinatas for dungeons and raids.

    I like the fact they wiped to stuff away gives everyone an even starting point. After all its just a game and I for one just want to have an item for a character and to have fun adventuring.

    I'd like them to wipe my Winter stuff so I have room. I can't get rid of the 4 module items.
    (Dropped all I could.)

    Or.... More Room in the inventory!
