What are you loving best about Wintersday so far?
Mine has to be being called a "complete and total buttface" by one of the kids in the White Mist quest when I killed his wannabe Freezie. I about died laughing. "He did NOT just say that?!?!?!?!"
Best part of Wintersday so far?

I love standing in LA and answering all the questions. Proof that once again, we have loads of new players around.

Being able to finish Sweet Tooth and Party Animal without spending a dime.
EDIT: Not enjoying the lag, however. My ping is at 4-5x its normal value (it's usually about 100-200).

Personally I like the involvement of Melandru and Balthazar in the event... it's nice to see the other gods get some love (and it's nice to see that Kormir isn't getting any bwuahahah) and while I don't really want to admit it, I like the Balthazar costume. The Balthazar one is a nice opportunity for my paragon to wear pants - yay!

Now if A.net could provide us physical therapy for the hundreds or thousands of clicks needed to open all those gifts, this would be the best GW holiday ever.

decided to try my luck at strength of snow. im finding it quite relaxing, which is pretty cool.

Definitely getting beaten in snowball fights by sync teams from NuDE and ball repeatedly, seriously this is beyond lame. It's far worse in RA since you can make up for people, in snowball arenas if you have one bad player you're screwed

but would be much easier to trick people if you charged less and said something like "Oh I give people a discount cuz you have to <insert whatever here> to thaw them so charging full price isn't fair"
In retrospect...has anyone tried getting hit by the Iron Forgeman to try and thaw them?

Do not do.
P.S. When I said it I was just joking around. Just do NOT post it in local chat or party chat.

The decorations are still my most favorite thing about Wintersday. And the Shiverpeaks music playing in LA/Kamadan is a nice change.

Yep!
....and Kathandrax's flame boulders
....and walking in the lava in Fire Islands
....And the burning forest in Sacnoth
....Heck, I even tried those flame spouts in Cathedral of Flames.
Trust me they can't be thawed.

Saw someone with "wtb antifreeze for MOX" in American LA yesterday. Maybe it's a bit naff, but I did lol a bit.

Yesterday I saw quite a few people ask how long until the next Dwayna&Grenth appearance cuz they wanted the new hats.
When I told them that it was another 3 weeks, they said they reported me for scamming. I lol'd

Well, they had the hats listed for Halloween correctly before, so I'd say yes, those are the hats we're getting this year for sure.

Wow,minotaur horns ? Seriously ?

Translate the page from German to English and they even say its a big mistake.
IMO the hats listed there sucks.
RedDog91
I think the Halo and Horns might just be images they found in the gw.dat file and they are making an assumption that its the new hats.
From what I recall, they posted the horns last year before the finale also...so unsure about how true it is.

Fighting in a Winter Wonderland was pretty neat once I figured out you don't try to kill the spawns. I also ran Snowball dominance for 10 times with a Ranger on my Necro and then got bored.
I missed last year's quests so being able to get the Jingle Moa (had bear already) made me pretty delighted.

Some idiot said they wanted cat ears because looking human apparently is boring.
Wouldn't surprise me "someone" said we need an angel halo and demon horns.

This is my first Wintersday, so I had a good laugh at the Winter Dwarf display ("There's only one way you're leaving here, feet first") as I hadn't heard of this before. I enjoyed Thackeray's first appearance also, in the pendant quest for Gwen.

Looking up what naff meant and doing shit with friends who came back for wintersday.

Getting both Connoisseur of Confections and Secret Agent maxed over the last two days thus bringing me to 50/50 on HoM Rewards Calculator. TY Snowball Dom! Now just 4 more titles for GWAMM.

I'm curious about the weapons section just below that. Would love to have a Rose Wand to go with my Rose Focus.
OT: As for me, I'm just enjoying the holiday with a few friends. Doing some SD of course and just having a good ol' time with the quests. Passing all my sweets, alcohol, and party stuff to my friend so they can work on their titles. But all in all, just enjoying the new costumes and new content.
A11Eur0
the mino horns are more like Grenth's horns...IMO they should go with the costumes and offer up some stuff more along the lines of Melandru vs Balthazar.
Either way, they're really screwing the pooch with these smaller and smaller offerings for festival "hats".

Maxing Party Animal in 3 days without spending any money is pretty neat, I thought I was gonna have to farm for a while to pay for it.
Mr. Undisclosed
Better than Halloween.
Ninja Dude
Maxed sweet tooth and party animal and now I'm bored out of my mind because I have there's nothing left that I need for GWAMM and 50/50 from wintersday.
Kosar The Cruel
Watching dat price drop...
hahahi20
I kinda like the new hat's, the best about wintersday so far i think is SD, a really easy way to make money.
