Yeah, we'll have to keep an eye on these. A TowerTalk interview mentioned that we'll also see some NPCs in Lion's Arch talking about the next piece, so that may be the Dragon Festival stuff. Vahkris 16:04, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

Looks like this Dragon Event will go under the name of Dragon Bash and will be released with the next major content update :) --Landon144 (talk) 17:26, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

And per a recent post by Regina, there's a definite reason it's called Dragon Bash and not Dragon Festival. I've got a feeling anyone expecting something like the old Dragon Festival is going to be disappointed. Vahkris (talk) 18:34, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

It'd be a bit odd anyway, to re-introduce Dragon Festival when there barely is any Canthan related content. I can only hope there will be content again related to the Elder Dragons instead of opening another storyline. It's not that I didn't like any Living Story update we had before, but I'm ready for the next chapter of the main story, where it was all supposed be about, Elder Dragons. --Landon144 (talk) 21:57, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Released

Someone update the Featured Pages, maybe we'll get it updated on the actual day of release! (I don't know how, and looking at it I'll probably screw it up, if someone lets me know I can do it). Vahkris (talk) 17:14, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Can't find Southsun Supply Crate in the Gem Store lol.--Relyk ~ talk > 17:53, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

There it goes.--Relyk ~ talk > 18:05, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Game Name Usage vs This page's name

I propose making a page named Secret of Southsun separate from this page, that contains all the specific events, and such on it, instead of it redirecting to a general information type page. IDK how to do it properly, and would rather it be something useful to the players. 69.183.26.49 18:03, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

We do have something like this for the last four releases: Flame and Frost, a page that collects (or at least attempts to do so) for the previous arc. I'd like one too, but I know that Secret of Southsun is already a page for the achievements (since they're called that, oddly), and I wonder what all would go in it besides dialogues and events (which might just be enough). Vahkris (talk) 18:10, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

[[Secret of Southsun (release)]], [[Secret of Southsun (achievements)]], [[Secret of Southsun (living story)]] -- those are bad names, but I think that covers the articles that people might want to see: the updates, the stuff for the achievements and rewards, and the temp & perm changes to Tyria, along with a timeline. 75.36.182.167 18:33, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

But this page should be a general purpose information about the Back story of the release, if you will, where as the other page will reflect the event list, and related stuff like that, was my thinking. 69.183.26.49 20:32, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

The release is called The Secret of Southsun, the achievement section Secret of Southsun and the meta-event Secret of Southsun Cove, so if we'll make separate pages for all of them, those should be their names. Although it's incredibly confusing, we can just use Template:Otheruses on the top of the page to help distinguish among them. 15:31, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

It's not really a meta event, but just a Special event, but either way the page might work. After adding and updating a bunch of stuff, I'm agreeing we definitely need a page just for the content of this release. Inspector Ellen Kiel's page is getting freakishly long by itself for her various dialogue, along with Researcher Levvi, and it doesn't even have all the stuff she says, either here or back in Lost Shores (although I do have that recorded, and this was all back when we had some people intent on putting all dialogue only on their respective NPC pages instead of the common event pages like we did during Flame and Frost). I'm going to be moving that stuff over to the Lost Shores meta event Act pages (and removing all but a reference from the respective NPC pages). There's a few interactions that I will be documenting for this release and I think we'll need a place to put it so each NPC's pages aren't long sheets of dialogue.

Put the historical dialogue in a separate section--Relyk ~ talk > 19:45, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

It pretty much is right now, but the page is still getting really long. Vahkris (talk) 21:43, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

I would move it to a subpage--Relyk ~ talk > 00:01, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

mini moa chick

I don't think that the mini moa chick should be on this page, it is not part of the secret of southsun content its just available at the same time, hippo and lion weren't part of flame and frost. Spark GOLD "talk" 15:52, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Move it to Spring 2013 minipets on the Gem Store.--Relyk ~ talk < 23:38, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Spring 2013 section doesn't exist on that page, looks like I'll have to create it. Someone added all five to the Flame and Frost page too. Vahkris (talk) 15:12, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

I wonder who that was--Relyk ~ talk < 18:08, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
