Guild Wars 2

Do we have an official date and time for when the winter festivities will be kicking off? Looking forward to it quite a bit this year :P

15th December is when Wintersday starts off and hopefully a big patch with them fixing up waaayyyy to many broken things. Not sure what time it all starts though.

15th. About this time – after the patch.

Thanks for the speedy response, I’ll be loading up on the eggnog for some all-nighters

Hopefully they’ve tracked down the issue that prevented Mad King stuff from giving mastery XP and we’ll be able to feel we are progressing when we toss snowballs at our friends.

Was that actually stated? Because I remember last year on a day off of work I could get about 60 or so levels with boosters and a zerg that skipped lich. That would likely break through the central Tyria mastery system too quickly (at least in ANet’s view). I don’t believe Wintersday gave as much XP as the Mad King events did, so it wouldn’t be as detrimental to the longevity of the game (even if we feel differently about the mastery training grind).

Hello, does anyone know the date when Wintersday starts and ends?

Start: 15th December

End: maybe 29th December or 5th January
