So I was just thinking about what you lot out there would like to see in this years Wintersday and what will you be doing during the event?
Would also be nice to see if they will continue WoC this month.

new quests is the number one thing i want. xD i love the quests we have now dont get me wrong...but even halloween got new quests. why havent they ever given wintersday new quests? a new type of sugar/booze/party (i know this wont happen) xD new ways to get the polar bear mini. and more different types of hats like 2 per town o.o xD

I think the flux itself will present an interesting take on the snowball fights and may catch some off guard.
I would also love to see some new quests, or get a polar bear mini drop, but I won't hold my breath for the latter

I'm going to do the same thing I do every Wintersday:
TRY TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!
As for hats, I'd like to see a Christmas Tree hat (witch hat that is green and when dyed, the small ornaments turn into that color) and a bunny ear hat for those, like me, who adore rabbits.
Also, make it snow in hell... if you catch my drift...

Going on the premise that they (anet) are to busy for Wintersday Art contest this year and have basically worked out the ele/hm update (specualtion based on the leaked update), I would hope to see new quest of at least one of the following.....
WoC...new quests....maybe giving us the option to turn it off seeing how it is taking soo long to receive it.
Wintersday quests...even though much of the new quests turn into giant farming exploits...they promote lots of team gameplay, which is much of what is lost in the game at the point seeing it is soo old.
All in all I hope to see both of these...but won't hold my breath.

cosyfiep

I think so Brain, but what if the Charr don't want to wear the elf costumes?
Horace Slughorn
Well, I am going to do snowball AT with friends... hope to make some zkeys and get my next rank of gamer (lol r4).
I doubt there will be any new quests tbh, but I can live with that.

I hope for some kind of repeatable quest that is 100% survivor-safe.
Spiritz
one things thats probably 100% is that anet wont release any updates (buffs/nerfs) on skills or woc content - last few xmas`s anet have shown they go on hols till jan and usually first update is in mid jan to early feb.
We may get just a few bugfixes - like vanishing npcs etc.

I'll probably be doing some snowball, and something snowball-related.

Snowball AT's ofc, by far the most fun thing in gw.

I'll get drunk and laugh at people semi-naked while they get annoyed by how little cold affects me, when they must cover themselves with winter gear.
I don't know what I'm going to do in-game, though.

As long as they still have Crush, my wife will be happy.
I just want the alcohol, party, and sweet points.

Am I the only person who remembers this?
MithranArkanere
Oh. yeah. Were I live it gets cold, but it never snows. So in-game I'll be trowing snow at people in PvP.
I wish there was some kind of consumable to do that in outpsots too.

That MOBA snowball thing was cool. IDK though, I just play RA now.
Garreth MacLeod
It's been a while since I played but I thought some of the quests gave candy cane shards as rewards. Or am I mistaken. I thought in years past I had lots of those in my inventory but so far only have 16. And I haven't seen a quest that offers them as a reward.

cosyfiep
yeah a lot harder to get shards now (grentches used to be a good way to get them too), I have only gotten about 7; the rewards were changed...so now doing mpb runs is just about the only fast way to get shards 
I still miss the grentches

Even with the changes this year to the event it's still boring. I only hope the new hats can turn it around but my hopes are not high.
EPO Bot
Just got my envoy staff a few days before Wintersday started after grinding it for months. I'm on a GW hiatus now, so i'll only get the hats and that's it.

Hanok Odbrook
What I would like to see is are deaths in the festival quests NOT reset the survivor title, just like it doesn't in the PvP mission.
Aside from that, running all my chars through the quests, and do some farming in the Strength of Snow and Kilroy dungeons.

I wish A Very Grentchie Wintersday was fixed in Divinity Coast. No amount of speed has let me save Necromancer Skorzena. Why is there a level 2 NPC in a level 13 area? The WiK guys totally slaughter her.
tonini
id like to see a red nose hat if at all possible think it be a cool hat
and not a reindeer hat cuz the char head mask is just awful.. and im picturing it somewhat similar

Missing HB
Well, i'm mostly doing snowball AT's and i'm astounished at the number of guilds with 1 guy using several accounts( with a score of 2/4, you get roughly 20 rps, so that's as if you were in playoffs with 5 accounts...)... It's besides quite annoying to see afkers getting to playoffs, especially due to luck and tiebreaker issues
I'm noticing less bots this year, but there are almost no real team playing around apart of top ones( MoO, idqd, hf, etc....) and this is leading to quite a boredom due to players only here for the reward...
Apart of that, i'm hoping some nice hats that will have a link with christmas spirit..Some kind of hat with fir, or like garlands could be nice

The spectercles and the furrocious ears at least had the justification of it being Halloween, so kooky costumes are "normal". Steampunk and black cat costumes (possibly "sexy" thrown in there somewhere) make sense, IMO, and the potential audience for each was at least obviously there.
Who, on the other hand, wants a scarf or (another) hoodie? I'm just not seeing the immediate appeal, nor do I really see how those are going to look good on most bodies / armors.
But, hey, I'd love to be proven wrong.
