Who's Ready For Wintersday?
There are snow ball fights in the norn zone you even get helping out when you hit the kids with snow balls! So i hope there is a crazy snow ball fight… no WAR where only the warm hearted will live coming up.
Guild : OBEY (The Legacy) I call it Obay , TLC (WvW) , UNIV (other)

I can’t wait! Now that they have left the world, maybe it’ll just be the priests dueling it out over which god is better. I really hope they continue the tradition of the old Wintersday, where it is about Dwayna and Grenth.

If I remember correctly, the GW1 snowball fights were 8v8. They were amazingly fun, and believe me, they got crazy

If they bring that back, I wonder what they’d do instead of us choosing a side to stand on. We don’t have districts to hop between anymore so it would be a pretty solid pick between one or the other…. hmmm… I think they’ll reference it, a lot like they did with Mad King Thorn (Mad King Says anyone?). But they’ll probably add loads of dynamic events and probably a new quest/storyline.
Never cared for the snowball fights. Don’t care one way or the other if they bring them in to GW2 as I would not play them there either.
Return of the gods maybe. So far there seems to be no reason for the gods to have lefdt only then to be connected with the elder dragons or to make the Human situation seem more dire.

Meh! To each his own! But is there anything from the old Winterday events you’d like to see come back? Or anything besides the snowball fights you would prefer not return?

To be honest, I was kinda hoping they’d explain why the gods left a little more as well I’m a lore junkie and would love to know the details!! I have a theory but it would spoil the story for players that haven’t completed/reached a certain point in the story.
Nope, but have fun y’all that do.
I’m anticipating the wintersday too.
I hope they put an improved version (more fun instead of punishing) of rng BLC and not like the consortium chests in this seasonal event. Rare-looking skins with money where majority can’t afford is better than cheap-looking skins with more money per chest. The reason why consortium isn’t selling well compared to halloween BLC is because it’s part of nature to seek for rarer and more beautiful gear skins like chainsaw and shield. (This is why branded companies and casinos in reality succeed well in business).
If I could get off the treadmill I might have time for the event… unless part of it is another special one-time-only thing where one part of the world never gets to see it due to bad timing and general inconsiderateness. I hope they learn from their mistakes there and never do that again.
Christmas (as we here in the warmer climates at this time of year call it, it’s never been known as wintersday here) is something to celebrate, something special to be together with family, enjoy the festivities, tradition, etc. which, for me, includes a bit of GW action as well. I just hope by then I can feel that I’ve started achieving something in this game rather than playing catchup with every other hardcore elitist and his dog.
While you’re in the festive mood, look up a vid on Youtube called Six White Boomers. We don’t really relate to your northern wintery melodic fantasies when it comes to carols, though people here who just don’t know/care will sing along blithely anyhow. If you’ve ever spent a Christmas in the southern latitudes before then you’ll be able to relate to this ‘carol’.

Not luck and credit cards.”

I think Wintersday is simply used because it doesn’t have any religious connections and fits better in the Guild Wars universe. I first heard of the term in Guild Wars… (and I don’t live in a warmer climate!)
I’m really curious how they’ll do wintersday (lorewise) in GW2, as the gods have gone. But then, the Mad King hadn’t been seen in 250 years either, so, we might get surprised!
