Welcome to Lion's Arch Wintersday Train

Events usually start at 12:01AM PST on that Day. That allows for the full amount of time that was announced. Which is what players expected.

But it didn't and there currently isn't an announcement from Gaile yet. But players are also used to them being late all the time. Which is why this thread isn't 10 pages long.

There were also a select few events that took off at 7:00AM and 3:00PM all PST time. But they extended the time. Since this event is 11 Days long, I don't think that they are pressed for time(yet).

Of course but lets remember this is not just an event being put in. The party feature could be rolled in alongside it much like observer mode was rolled in last years.

I can only think of the bugs adding such a feature could cause if a update fixing agro can turn Lions Arch into a desert....

I would prefer a bug free Wintersday

So when will it start?

Well the counter on the guildwars site say 11 hours to go, but I saw other people post that it's starting in 3 hours, so I'm still confused as well!

it's 11 days till the end, not 11h until it starts...

I'm betting on 12:00 PST, which will be 20:00 GMT here in England.

ya know they really should put a time converter on the guildwars.com site so we can see when stuff starts for our side of the world...i know im not the only one out there whom gets the time zones confused

Well they usually do put the start time up in GMT when they announce one, which they did not do for this event. Of course, most Americans have no idea what they are in relationship to GMT.


Also, the last several weekend events have started at 12pm local time for them, not 12am as had been common in the past. At any rate, it'll get here when it gets here.

Looks like you lost. Its now 12:15 PST and still no decorations.

yeah nothing yet

Euro Dis 1 just had a huge conga after realising the update was not coming..now everyones on the boat getting drunk

I am pretty disappointed that the event did not happen at the predicted time...so many people gathered for nothing

Just a comment from Gaile would make me happy...we are being kept in the dark here.

yea i want some pressies !

Ok when is this starting ?
Gaile please respond !

Well, they have 3.5 hours until the 20th is over!

Where you live maybe. Not here.

Better late than untested. *cough* everyupdatesincelastdecember *cough*

What's that got to do with the price of eggs? On the English GW site it states that :-

Like I pointed out the 20th ends in 3.5 hours!

They go by the PST time zone, meaning they have another 11 hours until the 20th is over. Plenty of time left to get the update in by today, for America at least. It will probably start when us in Europe are sleeping though.

Ok soo.. what does this have to do with anything?

The only thing about it, is the people that spend that much time online, dancing, cussing, causing a horrible and immature environment for everyone else that stay in that district for HOURS makes me sick.

Well Gailes just arrived...finaly some answers

EDIT: A couple of hours
