Wintersday Event Discussion

That idea of a full suit would be great! Maybe something like a wintersday transmogrifier tonic?

Mini Santa

Great idea! I hadn't even thought of something like that. Correct me if I'm wrong though, but isn't Santa just for Christmas, and Christmas for Christians/Catholics? LOL I should know this 
Maybe they could have a general purpose "Wintersday" pet. It IS named Wintersday and not Christmas afterall.

To further my last comment, ever wonder why they call it "Wintersday"?
My guess is so they don't get in trouble from a Jewish person angry at having to celbrate Christmas or a Christian person upset at celebrating Kwanza
DISCLAIMER- I just used those religions and religious holidays as an example, I'm not trying to get anybody mad, I'm just backing up a point. I would REALLY appreciate it if anyone who is thinking of making a response that will include anything about religion to stop it right now before this thread gets locked. Religious discussions on game forums most often lead to flame wars and heavy lockage.

It has been itching me for awhile, so I had to share it.
I have no idea weither or not the Wintersday celebrations will take place in Ascalon / Lion's Arch or Lion's Arch and Kamadan or All three Campaigns.
But My idea is such: Either as a single Item: A Tuque and a Scarf (as a helm) or as 2 Seperate items such as Grenith vs Dwanya (Both as seperate "helms")
The Dark Areas are dyable, (Or Red) The White areas are white and the Scrufy places are fluffy white.
I know physics can be enabled in Helms (The Dragon helm for instance) And was wondering if the scarf down the front could have Cape-like physics or if that would be too much. Even there, there would have to be a different scarf for male and females seeing as the models are formed differently.
But thats just idea, What are yours?
Personally I prefer the Scarf, Seeing as it would be something compleatly diferent then any other Festive item released, and we get to keep our Avatar's hair.

Anyways reading Galie's comments almost gave me the assurance that i will be able to make my second million this festive season.

My bad!To the above posters comment on a Turque and Scarf-
I see no problem with that idea, I personally would prefer the scarf more because as you said, it would be something new. I enjoy the idea of having a headgear that would fly around like my cape. Another possible addition (though I doubt it will happen) is to let us equip the scarf without removing the helm. I don't know about you guys but I would find questing in the shiverpeaks with a scarf on in my armor would be pretty funny.

And why is everyone saying they are gonna stock up on CC's for selling? I'm gonna stock up for my own use!
And about those candy cane weapons, how about the pvp-er's get weapons that are max damage, while the pve-er's get non-max damage ones that are just for show?

I just hope Anet brings back the Horns of Grenth... I missed Wintersday last year and really want my characters to have those horns.

Sivinn is the one on the right, wearing the 15k frostbound top, and 15k studded leather gloves, skirt, and boots.

I'm hoping for a Santa Sack (tm) - unlimited storage

Remember Winterday is the Tyria New Year... not X-mas. Lets not confuse them together.

I had some things going on in my Real Life, during the last wintersday event, so the only thing I was able to do was log in Santa Claws on Christmas and give away a bunch of unidentified runes to new players.
I really, really, really want a Santa hat for Santa Claws, I don't want some elf hat with elf ears, that's worthless to me. At most what I would do with that is get one for my mule, Santas Little Mule.
What I would like to see would be an event in Kamadan where they gave away new goodies (ugh, elf hats) and an event in LA/Ascalon that parallelled the original wintersday event (perhaps the new hats would look slightly different than the originals, but red with fur trim and a furball on the end of it is all good. Santa needs his hat, his head is cold without it).

Ohhh I'd kill for a mini-pet Ice Golem! Or the special 'Brrrl' as a mini pet (a special enemy monster in the last Wintersday's quest).
Hmm well I hope that we'll have big dance parties, lots of fun conversations and good moods Just like last year. And of course a special item, the IDS was just magic last year, new things and rumors ftw (well actually ftl as I spent 80K in an IDS thinking that it would stop dropping after Wintersday).
Anyway, I'd also like a Santa beard! (lol ye even for females) which you can wear together with the Jule Cap somehow... But I guess that's impossible ^^

Hmm but what about the Grenth version... Maybe a Rudolf the red nose raindeer hat :O (antlers, a red nose and maybe some hair ^^)
Or maybe christmas tree hat (makes your head look like a tree :P)
EDIT: Forgot about the snowmen :O So Maybe snowman hat
Or at least Snowman transformer...

I would like to see maybe another type of the halloween transform potion that changes you character into a snowman
Although i would not say no to some kind of full suit or a permanent item that when double clicked will put the disguise enchantment on/turn the enchantment off.
Rurik Jangeer
Good ideas all, keep them coming!
KoalaMeatPie
Why no more hats? I like the Hats, A lot.
And I don't really like the idea of a beard, or Elf ears, its just...bad.
last I remeber, there is no Santa Claus in GW, Dwaynya and Grenith, yes, but no Claus.

Im going to have to stock up on gold, greens and just a bunch of goodies before christmas. Im going to go into district 1 and give them all out for free. Nothing like free items to brighten ones holiday spirit.
hopefulliness

MMSDome
i hope they give us drinks that make us look like elves, santa, or snowmen! That would be awsome!!
and as for a cap thats a tough one... Id have to go with a ski mask (i know it wont happen) because it will be nice hat for scammers!

Why do people keep on talking about Santa?
There is no Santa in GW
Santa is the Symbole of Capitalism.. urgh. Its the Tyrian New year, Dwanya and such, no Santa.
natuxatu
She's not.. I've seen her.
Anyway.. Snowman Tranformation Tonic thingies would be fun.
I'd be all for a red nose. Or maybe even an outfit.. of course it would take up more room but it would be cool which is what it's all about. Like some winter dress clothes.
Maybe a halo... Dwayna has one if I'm not mistaken.

Dwanya Does not have a halo.
Her Image resembles that of an "Angel", And thus it has been inscribed in your mind that Angels Have halos.

The above poster is right, there is no Santa Claus because it is the Tyrian new year. If you have any questions on this it is pretty well explained on pages 2-3, I can't remember exactly. If after reading those posts you have a comment to make on their subjects please refrain from doing so.

Back on topic, I REALLY want that scarf to be added. I REALLY want to take a minipet snowman to the fire islands. I REALLY want a Wintersday tonic. I REALLY want that "something" that Gaile hit on earlier.

Correct me if I am wrong, but, Won't ANY other armor part / Mini Pet Be another slot of storage taken?
So why not just make it a hat?
(I was speaking to the people who wanted other parts, like "shirts")
