Thumbs up Wintersday (Anet) Appreciation Thread

Saw one for the Halloween build, and I think they deserve another. Good fun, made lots of money, and added a bit of new life to the game. Thanx Anet.

I'll agree with everything Kane said...except the "made lots of money" part...I've gotta be doing something wrong...hmmm.

Thanks, Anet - I had a blast this Wintersday!

I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree!

I had loads of fun, hit people with all the kewl types of snowballs (ewww, yellow snow) and got way too drunk on different eggnogs... (how come my screen is winking at me...)

Then, I discovered how to POKE people with my Wintersday gift from Grenth... Bowing to them while wearing the horns....

AWESOME - Anet - Thank you for a great holiday special and hope the New Year is as good to Guild Wars as the last one!

Many thanks Anet.
The snowball fights, fireworks, and decorations made it a blast

for a game without monthly fees, you have given much better event updates than some of who has fees.

Lots of fun.

1) Loved the Snowball Fight - I became absolutely addicted to this.
2) Love the Candy Canes - hopefully they continue to remove DP. Hated the Gargoyle farming, but in the end even that became fun after a while.
3) The Spiked Eggnog rocks. Eggnog sucks, along with the snowman summoners.
4) Love the Candy Cane Weapons and the Peppermint Shield. The quests were a little quick once people figured out how to do them, so that was a bit disappointing (especially since they were supposed to be "long").
5) Love the Icy Dragon Sword. I have an absolutely blast soloing this with my W/Mo. I actually used to solo this a month or two ago trying to find "another way" to Thunderhead Keep...mostly for exploring though. Thanks for opening up this secluded and beautiful part of the map. I hate that they are still available, but I understand the decision.

this update KICKED ASS!

the only sucky part is that now it's over.

maybe you guys could add a north pole to the map where it's xmas all year, and we can cap a skill off the santa boss.

thank yeeeewwwww!!!!!!

Thanks for another beautiful holiday event! The effort put into the quests and graphics was readily apparent and I had a ton of fun weaseling away from my family for a few minutes here and there to get antlers and hats for some of my toons.

Now we need some holiday oriented emotes. *grin*

/hohoho

Great job arena net! Wintersday was lots of fun. The snowball fights were great. I loved the way the major cities were decorated (Ascalon with snow was great). The quests were fun and the wintersday gifts were great. I had a great time.

Thanks for all the hard work.
