Skill. Notice! While in this area, certain tonics will convert you into a more festive appearance. Affected tonics are: Abominable, Automatonic, Phantasmal, and Sinister Automatonic.
Guess there will be no bots covering up Grenth/Dwayna this year.
Basically, If you use a big tonic and go anywhere near either emissary it turns you into a snowman.

Anet did the right thing with these. It was the players who purposely tried to ruin things for others that are to blame.

This was one of the most pressing issues facing the Guild Wars world, and I am glad that the developers could stop a left-wing griefing group from destroying Tyrian society as we know it.

This time the terrorists will not win.

I heard a Tyiran man sacrificed himself to death with order of pain because he couldn't see the mad king thorn due to golems blocking him. Oh, the horror!
On a serious note, why did ANet bother introducing big tonics? I'm sure the whining of the Guild Wars community would have been obvious.

This was such a fix. No, seriously, above all else that could be done (fix those bullshit skills such as [[lingering curse] etc etc.), they pop up some conditional transformation if you stand next to a god in a one-off event. The only thing I have to say is wow.

I am curious as to what people look with these tonics when close to the NPC. I wasn't paying attention the first visit and fell asleep due to boredom before the second (woke up at the end of the third).

That goes without saying unless you some Xbox Live reject who can't handle real PVP on better games...

And there are only two people working on GW in its entirety, so its not likely there are different departments.

But hey, I better stop making to much sense around here; this is Riverside after all. *pretends to hate free hats*

But this sucks. I was planning on doing this.
Mr. Undisclosed
I planned on purchasing a Yeti tonic just for the event, good thing I kept putting it off
DoomFrost
Eh? No big deal, I had my lulz when I was blocking the Mad King. Anet focusing their attention on making a skill that stops griefers just brings me more. Plus it's always cool getting another skill, especially if it's a skill that was made just so you wouldn't ruin other people's fun.

Do you people really think that the reason they don't balance skills is due to lack of time, that a simple little update like this would in any way make it impossible for them to change a few numbers in the database to balance MoI, Palm Strike, etc? That has got to be one of the most stupid QQs I've heard on these forums to date; they've taken way longer to fix way more imbalanced crap than this batch (hullo to the months of spiritway and hexway). I think it's been shown over and over again that the limiting factor for how fast skill updates is not coding time, but the decision making process on what to do about the skills.
As to the actual update: good. There's not a single bad thing that you can point to that came from this, unless of course you like griefing other people, in which case...well, sucks for you. It's nice to see that ANet actually will listen and fix small, easy things like this that do make a difference to the players.
