Ah, we knew it had to end sometime. Guess it's time to take my own Christmas tree down.

I usually get a bad case of the PHD (post-holiday-depression), but this is another thing to miss.

Thanks again, ANet! Really appreciate all the effort.

I've got an information from pretty reliable people that some of them got IDS even 3 months ago.

Another Wintersday has come to a close,
And the sun shines anew.
The Grentchies have been banished again,
And Dwayna has smiled upon you.

Happy New Year!!!


It's Dwayna's fault that the snowball fights are gone.
Everyone should've supported Grenth so we can have snowball fights all year long.

Dwayna huggers...

Me too, about 12-15 of them Just last night I was thinking "man, I should really convert these to weapons before they remove Wintersday ... what weapons should I get? I think i've got one or two of everything ..."

He who hesitates is lost, I suppose ... isn't that the Wa/Mo philosophy?

regarding the IDS situation

The Ice imp cave now has level 24 ice golems casting rust, for those who dont know what that means, its bad for heal signet for solo IDS farmers. I dont know yet if IDS still falls, but it probably does since it was said it will stay.

Just finished clearing the cave. Last imp, hiding behind seer, dropped a +15 > 50 req 9 IDS. So, there you have it, they're staying in the same spot and everything.

As the above poster stated, the old level 10 ice golems have been replaced by their bigger cousins. Won't be a problem for good solo farmers (only time I even used my heal sig was fighting the shadows).

My W/Mo will still be able to solo the IDS with the Level 24 baddies.

Yeah, the siege golems with rust are a bit of pain in the neck for healing sig, but I still mamanged to clear the cave solo. No IDS drop though. I must be pretty unlucky. That's 8 solo complete runs for me and never once an IDS drop.

Wahey I'm in that screenshot over there!! At last I'm famous!!!1!one!

But anyway, since Easter has a major religious symbology behind it'll probably be renamed to something else IF they do it. On a side note now all us wintersday item collectors can just wait and watch the price of our items rise and rise

It was a Great Event. I wish I had more time then to play around with it. I agree the Snowball Arena would be spiffy to keep for awhile.

As for Easter...if they do a event then...I'll bet it will be a "SpringFest" or something to that effect.
