It’s nearly time for the Wintersday festival.

Living Story Season 3, Episode 3 has launched, and takes place in the Northern Shiverpeaks.

So with all these cold-climate events, why hasn’t the Arctic Explorer Outfit been reintroduced to the Gem Store?

I was thinking that.

My character is wearing the medium carapace coat, and just looking at her in Bitterfrost Frontier makes me feel cold. Admittedly there are medium coats I could wear which are more appropriate for the climate, but the arctic explorer’s outfit would be perfect.

Plus I just generally like it when releases and gem store promotions go together. Especially with outfits as I like to role-play a bit when I’m doing the story, for example I always switch to the noble count or wedding outfit for Party Politics.

Braham is a Norn. I am an Asura. No way would that fit me! (Besides, what would Braham wear? He would fall asleep from the intense cold, and that would be it. Braham’s Lullaby. Zzzzzz…)

My goal is to be warm in the new content. So I previewed the Arctic Explorer outfit and Braham’s Wolfblood outfit side-by-side. There’s no comparison.

  • Arctic Explorer: Mittens! Big fuzzy hood! Soft and furry!
  • Braham’s: Gloves with the finger-tips cut out (clipping through the ever-present skirt). Lots of cold metal pieces. Bared chest.

If it’s all the same to you, I’ll keep asking for the Arctic Explorer outfit to make a comeback real soon.

Okay… they’ve released the same ol’ same ol’ Wintersday stuff. I guess it’s two more weeks until another chance for the Arctic Explorer Outfit to return? (Sigh).

QUESTION: WIKI seems to indicate that the Festive Hat (Santy Claus) was only available once, and is no longer available even during the season? Is that right? Back when it first came out, I didn’t get one because I was playing a character who didn’t want to be bald. Lately I’ve been playing a character who has no problem with that. Please tell me I’ll be able to get one…?

Golly – between these two issues I don’t know if I’ll be able to properly participate in Wintersday activites or A Crack in the Ice.

I hope this Outfit will return soon. It’s the only Outfit I like on Asura. So cute, especially when I make it all colorful. They look like cotton candy.

(Sigh)

…Another Tuesday and no warm Arctic Explorer’s Outfit. Looks like I’ll have to stay indoors during the Wintersday festival.

(It also appears as if Wintersday will only be in Divinity’s Reach again this year too. Booooo! Bad decision, ANet! Wintersday is for EVERY race, not just Humans! Bring it back to LA!)

I know this helps nothing but I’m sure it will be at the shop soon since it’s winter.
I do hope artists patch the giant hole before it gets back… Yep, it’s still there :F

No, No, No! Mummified flesh on the left! Dried bones on the right!

That would be a good re-release. Hopefully they offer when Wintersday arrives.

Wearing and loving it in Bitterfrost.
Celestial dyed and the second additionally with Mystic Chromatic Ooze. Tinfoil hat is so 90ties, the up-to-date ’sura wears full-body tinfoil insulation to minimize the infrared footprint.

Ban me for it, but I keep nagging; save dyes per outfit, separate headgear hide option and perhaps color channels per gear piece, pretty please. My other outfits suck in celestial.
