Curse

On the twelfth moon of Wintersday ArenaNet gave to me...
Blessings from Dwayna (can't see)
Festive decorations [Confirmed]
One mighty snowman [Confirmed]
Weapons made of candy (can't see)
Gifts that might kill you (can't see)
Snow-covered henchmen (who cares)
New winter monsters (ok, that I'm really interested in)
Some really long quests (WHERE ARE THEY?)

Lots of drinking Dwarves (can't see)
Gingerbread shields (can't see)
Curses from Grenth (I like curses, WHERE ARE THEY?)
And a new way to watch PvP! [Confirmed] Press B in Towns

So, as you can see the update looks a bit bleak to me. Skins come and go but Items are eternal. (Stop whining about your Axes, though)

Please drop your infos here.

Don't know... but maybe it was just some poetic writing?

Also, it may be that new stuff which have not yet been confirmed still have to come. I think that was the same with Halloween.

Perhaps the candy weapons and gingerbread shields will be the event items.And you will probably have to do a very long quest to aquire them.

Last time I checked Xmas was on the 24/25th. Sorry, no presents before that date, kids!

The Wintersday event in Tyria will be an 'evolving' event over the holiday period, just like the Halloween event evolved over several days.

Keep coming back, and you'll experience something new. Keep your eyes open!

I've said this elsewhere, but you dont usually get your christmas gifts before christmas

(just a thought, not actually based on any evidence)

Cronos Khan · Dec 22, 2005, 03:33 PM // 15:33

Indeed!

I'm sure Mad Santa will come and kill us all if we don't type the right emote

and yes I was hoping for candy cane monsters to use in battle..similiar to the candy corn monsters. Oh time will tell if it does happen...
