I think it will be like King Thorn, several times a day on New Year's Eve. That way, there's a good chance of popping in LA inbetween champagne

Snowball arena is utterly awesome, especially the sound effects

By the way, what is mesmer's unique skill? These that I saw were:

Ranger - Ice flurry, like Barrage only with snowballs.
Elementalist - Icicle, crippling stuff.
Warrior - Let's get em, you move faster and gain adrenaline if it affected allies.
Monk - Ice breaker, health regen and every foe attacking is knocked down.
Necro - Wintersday blues, a kind of a well. I don't know what it does.
Mesmer - ?

Dwayna - Avalanche. Cripple.
Grenth - Yellow snow, disease.

Edit: Nm, all described in sticky

Except for the quests, it's about even. But the new quests makes Wintersday the better update.

These were two good quests! Long enough to give you an evening of entertainment, and pretty funny. Even if you didn't read all the things the NPCs said (which were pretty funny for the most part), who out there can honestly say they didn't laugh when they first saw Freezie?

Or, not really.. Love stealing their customers by giving the Shards away for free.

A-Net rocks for putting so much effort into the holidays. Great fun!

Especially since they are easy to get, I got mine from the garg, behind Nolani Academy and the Sanitarium, plus the colector only want 1 garg skull, I got enough dp candy canes to last me a while.

The resasen they did Wintersday instead of Christmas day is because many people have diffrent cultures. Christmas is a christian beleif. If they called it Christmas all the people besides christians will be pissed.

I am surprised they didn't do a Winter Solstice Week...or something along those lines...

Wintersday of course. Ascalon looks great in snow and at night, I wish they keep it like that forever :|

halloween was far better, xmas items are total crap, candy weapons are total crap, the 5 minute quests were ok to relieve the boredom but still halloween had a much better party atmosphere and didnt inspire greed as much as wintersday which will be only remembered because of the IDS greed.

Shusky · Dec 30, 2005, 01:30 PM // 13:30

Yes, Halloween party atmosphere was awesome. All the frog waiting and community events. For example, a quiz where I won 20 plat

Hopefully, there will be something similar on Wintersday. In the meantime, I'll give away some of those Eternal Shields/misc Golds and Purples that clog my inventory to the newbies in Ascalon. *Pats self on the back*

Wintersday.
I hope there will be easter stuff too.

Mavrik · Dec 30, 2005, 08:58 PM // 20:58

Wintersday for me because I missed out on most of the halloween stuff.

So I've been having fun doing missions, farming for shards and collecting candy canes.

Lord Of Losers · Dec 31, 2005, 01:13 AM // 01:13

halloween, because of winter break here in reality, i got stuck at a relatives house with them hogging the internet (me without a router), so i dont ever get to play. =(

Cronos Khan · Dec 31, 2005, 02:55 AM // 02:55

Wintersday is cool and all, but the Halloween event started it all. Mad King, Rock/Paper/Sissors fight....PUMPKIN HELMETS!!!!

since Wintersday isn't over, I'm sure we will see something awesome happen tommorow

Draeco_Smash · Jan 02, 2006, 09:33 PM // 21:33

So has anyone got a confirmation on when the DAY "wintersday" is taking place? and if there is going to be Santa Hats???

Cuz I still Have yet to see anything really cool , besides the snowball fighting that shit rocks!!!

bottom line, i guess i just want a santa hat... cuz i missed the halloween celebration

McHearty · Jan 03, 2006, 12:06 AM // 00:06

Halloween was better, because I was gone the whole day and wasn't able to participate in wintersday.

Wintersday was great, apart from the botched finale (too short, wrong day).

Lets Get to Healing · Jan 03, 2006, 08:11 AM // 08:11

The battle between Grenth and Dwayna was not at all impressing. Ive seen noobs in missions do better than that! And right after Dwayna run i got a smack of beta test flashback . . . .
