No I saw it for myself in game. Just doesn't seem right that in 12 days 1 dropped... or maybe a couple, those odds are lower than anything in the game

Man. I opened that chest I don't know how many times farming shards and Wintersday items. I never got the drop. Don't think I'm ready to go back to it either. =P Oh well.

no kidding, and it scares me

gg to the dev who fixed this ridiculous drop rate

gg for once again giving something uber rare to random persons who did nothing special for it...


I wish they made more minis like mini greased lightning, when it's not just dumb luck I have a chance to get one (like I got my mini beetle)

btw, I wouldn't sell it if I were you Witchblade, this mini is priceless

It'd still sell for more than a Panda. This pet will be the rarest, so well over 5000 ecto.

Nope, because there isn't a hard mode. Regardless of what mode you have set in Lion's Arch or Kamadan, it's normal mode once you're inside.

Frankly, i find it near impossible to beat this. (I didn't say impossible, before people say otherwise, i said near) I stand by the gate and let the snowman take the fight, the problem is the snowman get outnumbered by the grentches and die, and while they do respawn slowly they still are outnumbered and just die again....

For a short time it is worth whatever somebody can actually offer for it (jillions).

Everything else? The "value" on everything else just plummeted sharply. If you were waiting til now to go sell a bunch of golds or other "rare" items that arent mini polar bears, keep waiting or go sell them to the merchants.....otherwise you will only be dissapointed by the lack of interest your "non-mini polar bear" items generate. (example: "WTS unded. mini bone dragon 100K+ blah blah"....response: "What its not a mini-polar bear? Weak sauce, 2K final offer"

Just imagine.. all these fanatics spending last minutes of Wintersday by making some frantic farming... hoping for a bear-drop... cutting their wrists when the event ends and no bear appears... spending hundreds of $ on ebay to buy one...

and their bear minis, with all other pandas and onis... and kanaxais... will be worth 0g within a year, when GW2 show up.

Have fun, poor no lifes

even if there may be lag issues during special events, giving a mini as a reward for pvp or pve achievements is much more valuable than fixing a 0.0000000000001% drop rate on a chest anyone can open

hoh chest and coffer of whispers ARE chests ANYONE can farm, just like this wintersday chest (and probably zaichen chest)

make a snowball fight ladder and give one to all top 1000 accounts give one mini polar bear for any xx consecutive wins, make it a reward for a real hard solo quest, trade it for 1K candy cane shards... or anything, I'm sick of gambling in gw
