Timing of Wintersday - Page 2 - Guild Wars Forums

Fire Rm · Dec 20, 2006, 09:49 AM // 09:49

how much time is it from now? im in 2:00+GMT

Tact · Dec 20, 2006, 09:56 AM // 09:56

GMT = PST -8

So it should start at 4 (GMT)

Symeon · Dec 20, 2006, 12:06 PM // 12:06

Possible times:
- 7:00 a.m. PST (3:00 p.m. GMT)
- 8:00 a.m. PST (4:00 p.m. GMT)
- 9:00 a.m. PST (5:00 p.m. GMT)
- Noon PST (8:00 p.m. GMT)
- 7:00 p.m. PST (3:00 a.m. tomorrow GMT)

Those are just predictions based on previous events and time zones. I expect it will most likely start at 8:00 a.m. PST or Noon PST.

Maybe that clock on the front page of gulidwars.com is the start time?

Wintersday doesn't bring trade improvements. And what more is there to improve?
And they are late yes, because they said wintersday would be 13 days long, and they're site counts down till (less than) 12 days for the finale, which is the last day of Wintersday.

Wait, like a child on Christmas Eve, and behold the wonder of Wintersday when it arrives.

Nope Wintersday is not xmas. It is the new year celebration.

Tyria and Elona are right by each other if you look at it. Plus Elona had some lore to do with the Krytan Mad king Thorn visiting on Halloween so no doubt there will be some connection this time aswell.

And dont forget its a new chapter

Its funny to see all the interaction between players waiting for the snow

vixro · Dec 20, 2006, 08:39 PM // 20:39

Past noon PST now, by 30 minutes and still no event and no word. The description of the wintersday event says it's supposed to last 13 days... it would have if it went from the very start of the 20th, to the beginning of the 2nd, but at this rate we're not even going to get 11 days.

Why can't anet just tell us what's up?

More than likely they haven't perfected the reconnect after disconnect patch and they want to make sure that it works how it should before releasing it. You know how anet likes to make something that important as part of a huge update. I'm expecting to see a lot of fixes, new features, skill reblanace, and all the wintersday stuff on the same patch. Sure would be nice to hear what Gaile has to say.
