Wintersday - Missing Quests/Activities

It appears that decorations, 4v4 Snowball Arena, and some of the PvE quests have been rolled out.

However, there is nothing at Tolkano about the 8v8 Snowball ATs (EDIT: this was resolved about an hour into the event), and some of the more popular quests such as The Strength of Snow and Straight to the Heart are not available (EDIT: still no Rift Warden).

Is this an error, or is there a staggered event rollout schedule of some sort?

thank god someone else noticed i thought i was going nuts....nothing on wiki/GW site about staggered events so...reply plz anet XD

No they've always come a few days (think its 2) into winterfest.

QQ i was freaking out cuz i thought i wasnt gunna be able to farm mini polar bear this year xD i remembered something about them being late but yeah lol

lol same...but yeah they should still let ppl know this as i know people that wernt here last xmas ...so for there sake (and maybe mine :OP we should know)

yeah, I thought I was crazy yesterday, not knowing there was no snowball fights

wasnt there supposed to be new content this year

It seems that the new content they have been working so hard on is the costumes you can buy... n/c

And the White Jingle Moa.

Waiting for the lovely Rift Warden.. ):

you can tame them now?

Me too. Does anyone know when it comes out?

Maybe tomorrow. Last year this happened and Rift Warden appeared the next day.

Yeah, the Rift Warden was a day or so late last year as well.

No biggie. Gives me one more night of peace before the farming commences.

Same as jingle bear,will be in gwen's garden once you do the wintersday quests at eye of the north outpost. Not the ones in snow man dungeon.

Update? Perhaps inserting these NPCs and options?

still wondering when kimberly with her snow ball throwing self shows up i always liked watching her plus the tonic traders arent here yet
