Watch it be a weapon for something I don't even have a character for...

There were 6 others where I was only one off. -_-

Edit: Just checked myself, not a single...damn...point. ;_;

I know you figured this out by now, but for the others, yes you have to check as far as I know.

The crap thing is I would have got five of the six that I was one off on if I hadn't moved all my choices over 5 down one slot, in order to offset any dark horses. Had I left my guesses as I originally had them, I would have had 7 correct. ;_;

Haha, it lost my choices so I got none right!

I did originally pick Peace and Harmony to win though. Oh well, 1 freebie is a nice consolation.

Just for your information

If you submitted the list without changing any of them around you would of got 3 right.

5th Frozen Flame
22nd Rise in Superior Competition
32nd Ward Against Noobzz

What is frustrating to see is that a lot were off by only 1 spot, 21st instead of 20th etc.

you get 1 item just for registering and 1 more for getting 2 teams right, if anyone gets more than 2 items on 1 account I will be amazed

so anyone that registered and subbmitted the original list with no changes will get 2 wintergreen picks for that account

11 does seem rather steep to get a second pick. I'm glad I got just the 1.

Edit: I just took out the larger part of this post. Rok posted the rules just before I did.

I don't know, with only 2 items to pick from the 10 listed I think I have to go for ones that were not available last year

Rod, Dagger, Scythe, or Spear. Of course the new ones are inscribable, so that makes it doubly hard to choose. I just don't know...glad we have time to make our choices. I have all the unique daggers for my Assassin so I will definately take Daggers I think...

Of course if these will be the same items available during the Wintersday Festival it makes choosing moot. Anyone know?

If they are the same as last year, except inscriptable, they will have a set dmg 10-10 or 15-15. Not sure why they would make them inscriptable if they are not max. Anyone know people who were in the tournament and received weapons already?

Gaile what about those people who predicted the no. 1 slot for this tournament, do they get an extra selection for wintergreen items? Just hoping so, since it's like hitting a jackpot in a lottery (/sarcasm).

Anyway thank you Anet for a wonderful year. Keep up the good work. God bless on the company and the people behind it

Would be cool if they did that. Did anyone actually get the top 4 right?

I think the most anyone guessed correctly was 5, still only get 1 weapon for that.

Which is probably why they decided to give out an extra to everyone who registered.

It is pretty much like the lottery, 32 numbers

1-10 numbers right = 1 weapon
11-20 numbers right = 2 weapons
21-32 numbers right = 3 weapons

Seems you should get the "jackpot" if you got all 32 though =P

I think the site says that they have 30 days to implement the npc with the items after the last day for submissions or whatever and then npc would be in game for 30 days from its introduction date.

It mentioned the 17th I think. I would find and quote it but I'm at work now and using my Sidekick II which is slow and not good for that sort of thing.

That aside I was getting the same response from the agents as well, hopefully they will update the agents with the Winterday update if not sooner.

Yay, I was so sad when I found out I didn't get a single pick right (never bothered to read it was SWISS tournament style play [darn you point system]).

But than I found out we get a free point for participating and I'm in a MUCH better mood! Thx Anet

Wouldn't a Wintergreen Dagger work better? Or is it so you can wear the Gingerbeard Shield too?

If he's going IW assassin, then daggers won't help him since he'll have to put points into dagger mastery to get those double strikes.

Even a small chance for Double Strikes is better no chance.

Well yea, I am going sword to gain access to a Shield's perks as well; Despite not having the requirements for the shield, the -5(20%) and 30HP still apply while wearing them.

Plus, It'll be funny as hell to have guys in AB die to a festively charming sin.

The only weapon I would even consider being happy about if they aren't max is a Monk Staff, as that's really the only class where I have no desire to actually use the weapon as a weapon.

Otherwise they just get tossed to my mule with the other low-end greens which are fun to keep for the novelty of saying I have got it, but is really completely worthless.

Well I entered normal e-mail and later after the tourney I spotted that there is a field that you must show your GW acc mail. :0

Guessing the winners was the easy task. Filling the CUSTOMS DECLARATION was the hard core business, which seems I failed.

Anyway are there any presents so far?
