As if it's not already stupid that every event only happens every 3 hours or so, making it already difficult to be present at an event, the higher district didn't get anything.
Now i've gotta wait another 3 hours and I can't do that, so no hats. How difficult can it be to have the event constantly or at least every five or ten minutes instead of every 3 hours...
Problems with the event

Higher dist got nothing? Hmm I was just in LA dist99 american server and I got 15 pressies and some antlers..

Don't get so angry about it, there will be 7 visitings, and you need 4 max. you can afford to miss some dude...
Amity and Truth
Could be anti afk measures. Sort of like "do nothing, get nothing".

Hell, but i was present, I was in kamadan district 37, and the gods never came there. I warped to district 23 and presents were lying all over the floor, so the event had ended there, i immidiately warped back to 37 and still no gods there. Waited for half an hour after is supposedly started, they never came.
That's also one of my problems, and I bet there are more people with me on this one, I don't have the time to wait all day for the hats to come only every 3 hours. Why can't they come every 10 minutes or so. This is just lame.

oh well.. nothing is perfect... and many people i saw were excited about the new helms. *shrug* I think they did a fine a job and it was an overall success.

I had a friend get nothing during the first event. The second event he managed to district hop and get all 4 hats during that one event. Also - I was generally in the highest district and received a hat every time, even when district hopping during the second event.

No the cmmon thought is that districts that weren't open alive and active when the event started missed out on the event.
100 people suddenly zoning to LA would create a few extra instances.
But if there created after the event has started, they miss out, or that what the general idea is
but [DemoniC][EVL] you should take a chill pill, yes it a problem, yes it a issue. But posting about in such a manner isn't going to get alot of decent answers. And I'm sure all the extra stress isn't healthy.
Just next time get there early and try for a lower dist, good luck.
P.S. It won't help you this time, Anet isn't going to roll back the event now, nor will they supply event hats after the fact. But they can prevent this from happening next time

Very easy to tell the op to chill out when you got your hats, eh? Try putting yourself in the op's situation. Its hard enough for some people that Anet is only giving 9 visits in a 24 hour period. Getting stiffed on two visits is icing on the cake. ANet needs to do something to ammend this. Extending the event by a few visits or making the visits more frequent would be ideal. I would guess that some people have other things going on and can't dedicate 12 hours of their day sitting in front of their computer to get the 4 event hats.

No problem with this event. And finally we can get some nice armor in Elona.

I've seen this happen beofore some of the districts do get "skipped" and if you just get there during the time theyre supposed to come it's rather evil ;/
you won't get the hat and with the time you wait the others will most likely end....
i understand that [evil] is pissed just because he had 1 chance to attent to the hat event. (read his first message)
but chin up fellah hopefully you can make some time today for another event :|
but on a sidenote this is very meager for a finish event, i recall most being more fun then just standing on rings -_-

While this is a problem that needs to be addressed, the discussion in this thread is not pleasant.
Keep things civil here.

Demonic chill.....If you have a friend that got the hat simply copy it. I don't know if it will copy the customization as well but its worth a shot.
I was here so I got absolutely nothing from this even except for the treasure chest runs which only 2 characters were far into the game to collect.
Events are for people that have nothing to do for people like us that have real life obligations just move on and don't worry about it.

Hats are customized. You can't copy them and give them to somebody else. So no, it's not worth a shot.
shivanSoule
have to be there before the avatar appears. you could get one hat in LA then go to kamadan and get another, and come back in 3 hours to get the other two. hats can only be copied from other char from same account tho.
Sli Ander
There were some bugs in the event not related to Avatar spawns(afaik). From what I could tell, the party menu in districts above 25ish(I obviously didn't visit all these districts) was completely blank. to find a party menu that wasn't, I usually had to let the comp auto select a lower district.
But that's just my two cents

I think I was actually in dis 78 the first round and I got zip, but it was ok because I got to spend an hour or so talking to some people even though I was kind of mad that I didn't get the hat, but most likely A-Net will extend the event because they know they messed up. And if not it's not the end of the world. I missed the original tengu day even though I had all the naga fangs and because A-Net decided to end it like 20 minutes early, but I have to deal with it it's not like you will be at any imbalance in GW if you don't get a couple hats. I also missed the Dragon event, but that was because of vacation.
p.s. I want my dragon mask...

Kamadan has a notorious problem of having inaccessible presents. That's the most brutal thing ever.
FeuerFrei

Menzoberranzan
All those poor lonely presents all locked up in isolation... *Sniff*

I saw some rather shrewd assassins shadowstepping up to those presents in Kamadan earlier.

Previous events like in factions made you just wait around and then speak to an NPC.
This year you have to vote for who you want. Making us wait 3 hours adds to that, because you end up with hundreds of people stood in the circles.
I can understand that if your busy all today, then you might miss out on it. But they might leave an NPC behind for a few days to let you purchase hats for those who miss it.

I planted myself last night in LA, woke up this morning foudn i hate error 059, and a stylish yule cap! seems that i was lucky staying online long enough

Just a reminder for our studio audience: This event is supposed to be fun, and more importantly, It's free. Arenanet and NCSoft have no obligation to give you anything really. In fact, you might as well get nothing and be grateful. Posts such as "Anet, you suck" might as well be taken as a sign not to do future events. I mean, you didn't want them, right?
It's not the end of the world if you miss out. I had to miss the Horns of Grenth last year by about 3 minutes to go to bed (Didn't afk it). In the end, nobody gives a flying RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO how many hats your characters have; they don't grant extra stats and tend to spend hours in your storage anyways.
Nuff' said methinks.
Edit: Next event in ~20 minutes, try and have some fun...

You don't have to be there before they show up...just before they give out the hats. I've been to 3 districts and gotten the horns, freezie crown and the jester hat. for the jester hat I showed up in the middle of teh game; the score showed up after the next round.
edit: I agree that it is all for fun and ANet doesn't have to do this. Thus, if I don't get a hat I don't worry about it and let it go. I was a little miffed about not getting a witch hat; my nightfall didn't com euntil the day after, but I got over it...it's just polygons and paint.
There are better things to do.
Cheers and Happy New YEar\

In Kamaden when the presents started falling I moved my agro circle away from the walls and it seemed to keep presents from falling on walls. But lets not be too greedy people it is a fun event and I have enjoyed it a lot.

How did they get up there then? You can't get onto that ledge anyway that I know of, and it was definitely assassins, so I just assumed they had.
There were grentchies up there as well at the time..
Conn
Anyone can get up there, the grentchies are the key

yeah i got all four hats in 2 runs... now to wait untill something new and interesting comes along *sigh* lol I think another online game...
I have to say though I'm very impressed with the Kamadan hats.. i was expecting more or less tyrian type hats

Hi, I will try to call this one in, but it's New Year's and I don't think we can do a build. My suggestion is this:
If you are in a district where the avatars don't show up, zone until you find a district where Grenth's and Dwayna's dialogue is present.
Speaking of presents, stand away from the walls in Kamadan and you will not have your gifts land in inaccessible places.
Next event Noon Lion's Arch, 12:15 Kamadan. Both times Pacific. 20:00 and 20:15 GMT.
Apologies for the minor glitches and I hope you have a great time!

Tis a great event Gaile, always a good laugh out of these and other than a few minor problems that I have heard of *experienced none myself * it seems to be going very well.
And for everyone who thinks this is the end of the world, keep in mind bugs will happen, hell I just had a spider walk in and it's 26 degrees
Thanks to the staff for doing an extra that they didn't have to do (some people forget that part)

I was just in Kamadan 131 and I was there ON TIME!
Nothing happened a district full of the big "G" supporters and nothing happened.
Its now 12:45 and still nothing.

While zoning, I found the delineation-136 in kamadan is finished, and 138, also in kamadan, is still waiting. Everything even numbered and higher than 136 did not get their visit from the noon pacific scheduled visit. If that whole thing made any sense. lol

The presents up on the walls are hilerious.
The ; and *space* spammers are running into the walls like the Cyote in Road Runner flying into a cliff face.
