Guild Wars 2

I’m seriously bummed that I missed GW2’s first Wintersday and the pimpin’ outfit that was available in the gem store. (I’m also regretting not buying the witch/warlock outfit during Halloween. I did get the Mad King one, though)
So, I was wondering if the costumes will be available for purchase again next Wintersday (which is way too long and it makes me sad), because I seriously need that outfit in my life.
Why…why did I have to miss Wintersday…. /cries forever

If GW1 is anything to go by, you’ll probably see those costumes return again this year. Plus, ANet would be foolish not to seize the chance to earn more revenue.

On the other hand if they make a different one each year it means everyone will still have a reason to keep buying them and the limited time aspect of it would apply more ‘pressure’. It would be ‘buy it now or never’ rather than ‘maybe next year …’.

Mmm, I see your point. Still, as I said, going by GW1, it’s more likely they’ll make a return again next year. The main thing that I’m wondering about is whether content from the Lost Shores, which IS confirmed to be a one-time only event, will be forever unattainable by newer players. (I’m talking about things like the Consortium skins, not the minipets, which I know are rare drops from monsters in Southsun Cove.)

Yes, I was hoping they’d keep that GW1 habit and make the costumes available again, but…you never know ):
Still, I’m going to keep my fingers crossed and hope for a second chance this year.
Thanks <3

In GW1, the equivalent of the BLTC costumes would be the hats that were given out at event finales. But if you played the game, you would know they were a “be there and get it or miss out forever” thing until GW2 came out. At that point, they didn’t have the designers or programmers to make new festive items anymore, so they’re reusing old ones.

So that’s not a very good comparison…

That just means whoever wants them will have to wait 6 or 7 years. :P
On the other hand the store in GW1 was more or less bolted on rather than designed to be there from the beginning.

Aahh don’t crush my hopes!! XD
I’ll gladly give ANet more of my money if they bring the costumes back!
