Guild Wars 2

Hey guys! I just wanted to make a tread about how you people think wintersday should be this year, and what you liked most about it last year.

My opinon for last year:

This best patch i’ve experinced. so many things to do, all activites aside from that music kitten was atleast 20 hours of entertainment for each avtivity, and the jumpingpuzzle was 20 minutes as thats how fast it took me to finish it, i also loved that an airship like moved from city to city each day, it brang ppl out in the other cities and it really gave that LIVING world feel, whole guild wars 2 december was WINTERDAY, screw pvp, wvwvw, open world WINTERSDAY FOR THE WIN!!!!!

How i want it to be this year:

Almost exactly as last year, but id replace that music thing with another minigame, make a tribulation mode of the JP, revamp the airship inside and make the rewards of the patch worthwhile, perfect replacement of the music game would be a dwayna priest VS Grenth, it would be like with spesific skills for the god you pick of these in a deathmatch minigame, then the one which grants most wins in the month, will get like a impact on LS untill next year.

So tell me what you think, and how you want it to be this year, what do you like about last year? Let me and everyone else who watches tread know by writing in the comments!D

Yeah, i know im pro at paint (Not XD)

The only activity I enjoyed doing was the jumping puzzle, because everyone sucked at it and made me look like a God in contrast. They finally implement a thing that takes skill, and I dominate every single person every single time. I just wish the rewards were better. Anyway, the only thing I want, or need to see is the jumping puzzle.

Ey, the snowball game was really fun! Sniping or running over ppl

Wintersday jumping puzzle is one of the best things in GW2. I hope it will make comeback.

Bump for the win

I dunno, lately the releases haven’t been great. Last year’s Halloween I thought was better, I just hope that’s not the same for Wintersday.

there was way too much casual stuff last year and the JPwas one of the easist in gamei just want somthing that requires skill

The music game was great. No reason to remove it. We should ADD content, not replace existing.

The only things I didn’t like were the gemstore RNG bullkitten, handling of the snowflake jewelry problem, and being spammed with confusion from dolls.

I enjoyed the jumping puzzle of Wintersday as much as the Clocktower.

It was good fun last year. Would be happy with the exact same, maybe a few new rewards thrown in too. And no grind like the Halloween items. Fun before economy – it is just a video game after all

I think it should be better than Halloween, because Halloween was horrible. That’s all.

Just dont fall in same trap as haloween did this year great holiday was made awful :P

I love Wintersday. Snowball fights were always my favorite in GW1. Wish they’d bring back yellow disease ridden snowballs though. Hitting people with them was so satisfying.

I loved Winterday last year,
I loved the music and the decorations and the bell choir and snowball fight s and Toy Maker Tixx’ ship was great.

I would love to have the opportunity to get the ingredients for the mini’s again because I still have all my spare frames and the mini Ventari is still my favourite today.

Hell I even loved the dolls from hell running all over

After this year’s epic fail of a Halloween, I don’t even want new content for Wintersday. If they keep it exactly the same as last year, I’d be satisfied.

Bell Choir should be renamed and updated to use the other instruments that have been added since then. They also need to add a more fast paced song so that there’s a hard mode. The only bad things I remember about Bell Choir was the downtime caused by people not on a platform and lag breaking it.

What I want to see for Wintersday 2013 to not get disappointed, like Halloween heavily disappointed me this year is:

• Don’t put into the game again a gazillion new Minipets that can be received only through massive RNG factors through the mystic toilet

• Let us earn enough of that glue stuff ect. to let us make with the last years minipet blueprints all of the other minipets we couldn’t make last year due to not having enough glue ect.
  Everything I have earned last year is sitting since then for 1 year in my account chest, waiting for that event to come, so that I can finish these creatable minipets too.

• Implement a new Music Instrument… last year we got the Bell.
  This year for Wintersday, I expect something else, that fits to the christmas theme.
  Something like a Triangle, a Xylophone, a Harp, a Tambourine or a Violin..
  Maybe even more than only 1 new Instrument.

• More new Wintersday Town Clothes including the one from last year

• Bring back the Grinches! Let them try to sabotate this years Wintersday and run around like in GW1 in all Towns (LA, DR, BZ, RS, TG) Let all towns get a Wintersday Theme, but important thigns this year happen only in DR, BZ, RS and TG, so that not everything always happens only in LA, LA gets used too much… let LA be the beginning and that was it, the bigger parties this year should happen all in the other towns

• Improve the last years Dungeon Instance Infinirarium for those, which participated it the last year with a few new instance levels that have other new “toys” against which we have to fight. 3 new stages with 3 new toys, they can be received as minipets if you want, but you earn them not in the same way like last year.
  Those 3 new toys simple can be bought through a new droppable loot item, that functiokittenes also as nourishment like Zhaitaffy. – Peppermint Bonbons, you know, these red/white or white/green bonbons, which existed also in GW1 (even as weapons)
  http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Candy_Cane_weapon

Those 3 new Toys in the Infinirarium would be:

• Plush Grinch
• Toy Nut Cracker
• Plush Ice Crystal

Stuff like Festive Golems, Infinirarium, Foostivoo become sellable via the TP now

• Put Rox and Braham in some kind of Side Story which rewards us with an Upgraded Version of Rox’ Reward Bag from 12 Slots to 20 Slots plus an item for the personal Instance, that lets you on daily basis receive randomly the Wintersday Crafting Materials – i.E. Snowflakes
  http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Snowflake

New Mystic Forge Recipes get added with that you can upgrade lower tier Snowflakes into higher tier Snowflakes.

• Together with Candy Cane Weapons a new more serious looking Weapon Set will be also introduced – the Glacial Weapon Set (Among them again also the Glacial Blade from GW1)
  http://images.wikia.com/gw/images/archive/9/97/20070721080332!Glacial_Blade.jpg

So all other weapons will get their version in the similar style of that weapon too.

• Other non wintersday related features to come by with that patch to improve the game:

- Skin Locker, through improving the Skin Reward Locker by adding all those other Skin Items to the list too, so that once you used a Skin, it gets automatically unlocked for the Skin Locker to be drawn from it unendlessly again, so that Skin Items like Wind/Sun/Thunder Catchers and so on don’t block our inventory space anymore.

- Account Chest Improvement through Adding a Tab for Tools & Toys, so that we can store away our Music Instruments and Meta Achievemnt Rewards like the Balloon Toy, the Diary of Marjory and so on

- Adding Options to raise the Maximum Stack Number from 250 to 999 for our Bags and Account Chest

- Make Hall of Monument items also dyeable , I want to dye my Ice Crown for example, but can’t …why??

- Implement missing Minigames finally like Polymock, Bar Brawl or the Target Shooting Game to DR & RS to let those towns get some activities and remove the activity NPC from LA, as long as this NPC exists, nobody will ever visit the other towns for their activities, if you can do from LA also stuff like Keg Brawl >.>
When you want to play Polymok, you should have to go to Rata Sum and not to Lions Arch ….this simple.

That are for now all the things I could come up with, which I would like to see for Wintersday 2013. I know alot might be wished too much, but we all can dream..we all may dream…
