Now everyone can have a mullet!

I think it's great:P (/throwup), so what was dwaynas?

Edit: Maybe the icy hat isnt so bad...A little different from what I expected, but not exaclty bad.

I'm glad they added a wig, but.. does it at least look better on female characters?

What in the world did you do to Nian's design -.- could've put a little more effort Anet.

As I post this, I think thousands of players just attempted to pick up gifts at Kamadan all at once, and possibly temp-crashed Anet's servers. We didn't mean to be bad children!

All the good modelers are working on GW2. So i guess the back up modeler is left to gw1 but his/her self :/

LOL, I got the serious error too. At least it's not permanent.

Oh well, shame about the hats; I was looking forward to the ice crown, too. There really isn't much you can do once you've exhausted Reindeer horns and Santa hats, though.

BTW, to Sarah something-or-other in LA USD4 who bet me about green rings belonging to Grenth? I was on as Kai Wolfe, I'd like my 10k please. :P

I'll be honest, Anet failed massively on the design of both of these holiday hats.

Neo is in the same guild as I, you can imagine our reaction -_-

Very disappointed in both hats... The Grenth design is just lulz with the 'try' on the hair fix. And the Wreath... well lets just say both make you look female.

Totally ruined the ice crown - doesn't look like ice at all - I am very disappointed and I have never been disappointed by any of the festival hats before (not even the demon hat so many thought was ugly). I guess the Dwayna crown is ok but looks pretty odd on guys.

May I suggest ANet employ Nian - looks like they need a good artist.

Wow, I feel bad for Nian. They completely ruined his design. (shock!)

The Dwayna hat looks bad too. Why didn't you go with 4 hats again anet? You'd have more room to experiment. These are just bad.

Also, it's lagging so bad I can't even pick up my presents. Last year I couldn't because they spawned in an unaccessible area, this year I can't because your servers failed.

Happy New Year! <3

Hmm, sadly the Ice Crown doesn't really look like the artwork very much at all.

Just these two. IMO they don't look so bad that I'm gonna scream OMG PHAIL WTF. I kinda like the wreath; it'll look good on my ranger.

They said weeks ago there was only going to be two. IMO, four was too many anyway. Loading us up with hats just makes them less special.

Shitty event all around to be blunt and honest.

And thanks for slaughtering a good design from Nian, I mean it looks NOTHING like the design she drew.

I'm pissed that you'd hold an art contest and then not even design the hat correctly. Wow. RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO you Anet, that is very disrespectful I can't speak for Nian but I'm sure she's pissed also.

Designing (you know what I mean) them horribly makes them less special too ;D

Same thing happened to me. Sat in LA AD 108, nothing. Zoned to Kamadan AD 57... Nothing... o.O;

As for the hats, Nian's design looks like it might be bugged? Not sure. But the other one looks good.

Not crazy about the ice crown but I like the wreath crown. Either way, both are worlds better than the Halloween hats this year. Thanks for the event Anet, and try not to let the humbugs that hang around these forums get to you too badly.

The wreath crown will look cute on my monk, but the ice crown is hideous.

You know what this means, guys!

Grenth is going to "win" Wintersday so it lasts 2 more weeks, and Dwayna will not like that so she'll challenge him to another fight!

XDDDDDDD anet for the fail. All we got was two new quests, those being rehashes of a dungeon, shitty designed hats and a laggy event! Love it.

ugh, i was hoping for a hat that WOULDNT remove my character's hair and make him look bald, but thats gone down the toilet. plus, they butchered Nian's design on the ice crown, and that wierd looking dwayna hat looks like melandru threw up on a birthday cake/ happy new years from anet? :P

IMO, the wreath isn't too bad, just looks bad on male characters. The Ice crown was a great idea, and the drawings were beautiful. It's just been badly made in the game..

And yeah, I was on English 13 as well, until it became apparant that no one was coming. I'm guessing the lag caused by the presents is screwing something up.
