this is just retarded, sorry to say anet, but come up with something sunny instead.
can easily think of beachballing or w/e, adding aviator shades to the headgear or something like that.

That sucks. Snowballing was and will be my favorite minigame forever. Real shame I will be on vacation for a few weeks including that weekend. Guess I will have to wait till it is really wintersday again.

Hf all!

I love people going "OMG a.net is retarded" when the posters are the ones who are clearly a little slow since they don't get the fairly popular and well known reference to Christmas in July.

How can you not understand a) there is life below the equator b) the simple marketing tool of "Mid-year Christmas" that has been employed for decades.

Xmas in July has been around in Aussie land for a long time so good that we get some love.

While I don't hate anybody who got a mpb drop last wintersday, I do loathe the drop rate. Over 900 runs through that damn quest, and nothing. Now that made me angry.

The question really is, when can I AFK the Rings again?
Everything else is just filler.

It's really quite sad how ignorant many people are with the "anet running out of ideas?" or "anet is retarded" comments. If you don't know the Earth is round, and those in the southern hemisphere are currently in Winter (and have "Christmas" during their Summer) due to the axis of the Earth. They also had the event last year too. Instead of complaining go learn about the seasons.

I wonder if the nerf for shadow form was slated for July. Then they moved it to august becuase of the mass outcry it would have caused right before an event?

Nope. We get snowball fights against some bots and people... Love getting the bots stuck shooting into the hillsides.

BTW Upier drop the harry potter books and pick up the Song of Fire and Ice series.

I know I came off a bit strong but i experienced this is the only way on these forums to provoke a reaction...

Actually this is the first time i experience this summer christmas event myself, been on holiday for all others apparently, and yes i know the earth is round (although it looks more like an oval shape to me, prolly just my crooked vision of the earth, or too much pot) and yes i know christmas is associated with snow and everything, but it's not like the whole northern hemisphere is covered in it on christmas day, quite the opposite actually, white christmasses are almost extinct. Also, it's an online game which is the same for guys from oz as for guys from holland (like myself), so it's just as white on their screen as it is on mine (although i must admit shades can differ because of brightness settings).
Now, i know my earlier remark referred to summer times with the shades and everything, fine, let em come up with something different, but another christmas is just unoriginal in my opinion.

i praise a-net into the sky more than most, but for this they just go a little less high than usual, keep it up meboys!

We normally have our events during the weekends. We schedule our events independently of whatever Aion is doing in-game.

Just pump your airconditioning, add some "cotton flakes" around your window and it could feel like wintersday..

What the hell am I talking about? It's 40 Celcius outside, even the damn cotton will melt..
