It seems that if you joined a district that did not exist at the time the avatars showed up then it will not happen for that district.
Of course that is going off of what i have seen in game and talking to others.

Was anyone able to get 2 hats from the first round? I tried district umping but they seem to have all happened at the same time. I didn't try to go to Kamadan though, just stayed in Lions Arch.

I've managed to district hop and grab gifts that fell from the sky(assigned to me), but the high district I'm in now has existed since the start without a visit from the Avatars yet.

/edit Thats cool CrystalMeep. Though I wish they had given LA top hats(real ones,not snow man faces). While I prefer last years Santa hat(which I didn't know to get, was new to the game) I'll settle for this years hats.

The Jester Cap from Kamadan (Grenth winning district) is dyeable.

How'd you manage to get 62 winter gifts in one visit? I only got 2 .. . or did you pick up presents of people who forgot to grab their's?

I got like 30+ gifts assigned to me - rest was assigned to ppl that clearly didnt want them and just left district.

I'm sure you should have waited too to get more presents - 2 gifts is too low number.

I feel screwed over by anet like with any of these kind of events. The gods come like what, every 3 hours? I can't wait around that long, and then there's even different hats in different towns plus the 3 hour waits. For some people it will be impossible to get all hats.

And the promised hat storage = the festival hat maker, that's no storage, now I still can't keep around dyed hats.

Other then that, the event has been fun, at least the quests were nice.

If you dont like the events don't take part! If everyone had the same hat it would be boring same as if aevery one had same armour dyed same colours, i dont have factions so will never get a draon mask or similar but thats ok I'm happy with my pumpkin, witch and now santa hat.

The hat crafter is a great idea at least you dont have to be at the event with each of your chracters now.

If you want a dyed hat that bad just dye it again or keep that one safe.

Happy New year!

I like the event, I don't like having to wait 3 hours every time for a single hat, and it's only available for one day, so you can't get them all if you don't have the time.

"If you want a dyed hat that bad just dye it again or keep that one safe."
3 words for you: no storage space...

BeXoR · Jan 01, 2007, 12:30 PM // 12:30

Thank you ANet for another fun event! Despite any glitches I had a good time and am looking forward to the next few finales to grab myself some more pressies!

I loooove the Freezie hat. It's all :|

HEHEE!!

And the Jester hat is adorable too. I am going to have a lot of fun with these.

Thanks again for putting all of this effort in for us. It's much appreciated, especially around this time of year.

Good luck to those who had problems. Hope you can all make it to one of the finales.

Cheers mate. I can't be bothered getting all the hats, so I think I'll go for the jester one, and maybe the Freezie if I have time.

Feathermoore Rep · Jan 01, 2007, 04:06 PM // 16:06

If you time it right you can get all four hats in one swoop. Kamadan Starts 15 minutes after LA. So get in a low district early get that hat. Switch to a higher LA district, nab that hat. Switch to Kamadan in time for the start of the event again. Then switch to a higher district after that to nab the final hat.

I came late in LA so i only nabbed 3of4 hats. And i didnt think about posting my presents results...i picked up about 45 too.

Jetdoc · Jan 01, 2007, 04:38 PM // 16:38

Wow - you guys got this down...I only got 14 presents on the first visit. ;(

Xenrath · Jan 01, 2007, 05:51 PM // 17:51

Can someone confirm if Grenth LA antlers are the same as last year's ones? Seems to be buggy so the "jump to higher districts" doesn't seem to work too well. Dwayna LA yule cap is different but are the antlers different too or same as last year?

FalconDance · Jan 01, 2007, 06:05 PM // 18:05

The antlers are MUCH better than last year's. Larger and more like a reindeer's or elk's.
