Elite Santa Armor
meialin
Well this is the last big wintersday for GW before GW2 hits. I say its time for a big wintersday. I want elite santa armor set for my chracters. What about everyone else post your thoughts ask anet pass on the message. I heard people asking for it in Kamadan so I decieded to post a thread here.

This sounds very interesting. I think it would be awsome to have elite santa armor, but i think we should acquire it through hard quests. For example we have to do 1 quest for head peice and other quests for each peice of armor. IT shouldnt be that long of a quest but kinda hard to do. The quests should be a challenge. We can also instead of doing mutiple quest, just make one big quest and when finished u get the full set.

Sounds like a good idea but i don't know how many people would bother doing a difficult quest for the sake of walking around in a fat red suit.

We are already getting 4 masks and more ways to get the mini polar bear. We don't need a retarded red suit.

I want festival hats to have armor and be insigniable before I want event armors that will end up having 0 armor.
Besides, many professions have a furry coat that looks good dyed red.
And I'd rather have a Mad King Thorn outfit before a fat man in red outfit.
At least All Hallow's Eve is more universal than Christmas.

Don't forget, this is Wintersday, not Christmas. I'm pretty sure ANet doesn't want to pin Wintersday to any specific holiday as then it wouldn't appeal to another religion.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween
For that matted christmas day was chosen to correspond with a pegan holiday, and closely coresponds with haunaka, which also involves gift giving. So the "Christmas Season" is pretty broadly recognized.

Pretty much no. I would prefer Anet to work on anything at all, instead of making a Santa Suit. Anything.

genofreek
Hell yes I'd wear the go red engine out of a santa suit, but I really doubt it'll ever happen.

However, there are other winter holidays around the time of christmas, as pointed out. And that is why this event is not only called "Wintersday" but people say "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas."
The winter isn't just about buying and giving gifts and fat men in red suits pretending not to be pedophiles.
Why do you think the finale of Wintersday is New Years? Because New Years, unlike christmas, is universal - to the extent of Gregorian calendar (with the CE and BCE labeling, that is). The presents theme is based off of christmas, Hanukkah, and various other winter holidays.
Christmas has, to be honest, become less of a religious holiday and more of a "gimme gimme" event, only truly beneficial to companies.

I agree with Covah and Azazel on this one.
I would be much happier with a max AL, inscribable version of my Event Masks that gave +1 to linked attribute.

I would have signed this, but Azazel made a good point. As a matter of prioritization, I would rather have my Festival Hats gain a proper AL and functionality to other helmets of a class than get a holiday armor set, regardless of whether it had a real AL or not.
Work on making what we have now useful, and then do something new.

This idea is old and, frankly, hard to implement. With varying classes and sexes, making a full armor set would be difficult. This is why anet has only ever given out even HATS on holidays, and also why EOTN "common" armor was limited to gloves. Both hats and gloves change little in appearance from class to class and from male to female chars.

Ok then how about this idea. A Wal-mart greeter uniform with footprints all over it? Wal-mart is universal isnt it?
Shasgaliel
I am for it. It will be much easier to find decent pugs after that, we will get another selection criteria: 1. Kick santas 2, Ask remaining to ping their build....

and for the santa armor - /notsigned. why?
If they would put in a new set of armor - it would ofc cost some amount of materials.
New armor --> all ppl want it --> all ppl buy out materials --> market change --> kaboom
and also that it takes time to set the armor for every profession.
maybe a tonic but that requires a model too...

Useless, there are many things MORE important, they would probably just reskin existing armors, many of which require a lot of work (clipping issues).

Although most of the families give out presents only on either 6th or 24th, it's easier this way.
pumpkin pie
if it comes with a walk-in closet then yes, as of now, no thanks. but you can have it, just not for me.
I also remember having to wear santa outfit when i worked part time in a bar for one day. so, you go ahead and have fun.

I would like to have a santa set, but maybe it shouldnt give max armor, just a nice costume ,like the masks, or maybe prophecies end armor, but that wouldnt fit ^^

/signed, and for the people who disagree, what harm would it bring you? Im sure if they did add it, you surely would in fact get the santa armor...

i Fixed that for you.
Everybody knows that American Xmas has always been "Jeezus vs Santa" and not "Jeebus and Santa"
I challenge anybody to find in the bible where it even says that Jesus H Christ was born on 25 Dec.
http://www.simpletoremember.com/vita...eRealStory.htm
Nicholas was born in Parara, Turkey in 270 CE and later became Bishop of Myra. He died in 345 CE on December 6th. He was only named a saint in the 19th century.
Nicholas was among the most senior bishops who convened the Council of Nicaea in 325 CE and created the New Testament. The text they produced portrayed Jews as “the children of the devil” who sentenced Jesus to death.
This is probably why a Santa Claus outfit should NOT be in GW, Because the Original St. Nicholas was part of the Organization of senior bishops and became one of the first Anti-Semites who is loved by all.

If these suits DO come out, but we still have 0 armor for hats, guess what the rating on the suits will be. Unless Anet is content with giving armor rating for hats according to the class wearing it, don't expect much from the suit other than outpost usage. Just leaving you guys with the thought.

/signed if could have a Santa Elite Armor, we should also have Buddha, Rabbi, Osama Bin Ladin and Barak Obama Armor.
Or what about a Mr. Grinch Armor and even Frosty the Snowman Elite Mesmer Armor. Fancy top hat bitches!!!!!
