"Wintersday" vs Halloween
Lets Get to Healing
Clearly Anet has out done themselves! Which do u think is better Halloween or ( as of the time u reply) wintersday? Hope to see you guys with the spirit. and necros . . DWAYNA FTW!

So far, Halloween because of the Mad King.

Wintersday, Gingerbread shields FTW

Wintersday obviously is better already and there is going to be a lot more.

This is amazing.
It's crazy out there... Just like in real life, people hurrying to shops to buy all the presents that's left... Just wonderful

Wintersday!
Halloween got boring after a couple of appearances of The Mad King. Same all over again got annoying. Hopefully this time Anet will bring new quests and such as we procede with the feast, inestad of stretching a few quests for a long time.

I am liking Wintersday better so far. Halloween was cool with the Mad King and all, but all you did was hang out in LA. At least with this one there are quests!
cup-o-noodles
All this talk about Dwayna and Grenth battling and stuff, do you think we'll get to see them beat the crap out of each other? If so, then wintersday by a long shot. Nothing like seeing gods beat the crap out of each other.

So far I'm liking Wintersday better, I like going out and doing the quests and trying to collect Candy Cane Shards, sure beats waiting in LA for the Mad King. My only problem is that there is a huge hole in my pocket, shouldn't of given away that 60k of gold.

Well I didn't get the opportunity to do anything over halloween and same goes for christmas here... sadly but I did get to log on last night and get 5000exp for each of my three characters that had Ascalon, Droknar, LA and Nebo village. I wish I had time to do the other 5000exp quests but I don't.
Sadly no santa hat to wear like pumpkin hats?

Remember the pumpikins came ON halloweenm there'll be more stuff yet

Is there an option to vote for both? they both had their bonuses and nice distractions. I must say that when the haloween update came out, there was more of a party than when the XMAS update came.

Interesting note. The explanation goes that Christmas day is called "Wintersday" In Guild Wars because Tyria is not Earth. So then, why was Halloween called Halloween in Tyria???....
Conspiracy?
BAH!!
Merry Christmas!!! To all.

EDIT: I also think that sometime on either night before, or christmas day we will get some santa hats, AND I WILL GET MINE INFUSED AND SUPERIOR VIGOR IT! YAY ME!
Fred Kiwi
Wintersday definately. Especially as there is likely to be a mad king event with santa. Oh and the shields are nice for farming
FeuerFrei
Yea...i want a santa hat
Mavrik
well if the hats become available over the next few days... I won't even be near a computer.
Shusky
Both were awesome in their own way. However, I believe the main event of Wintersday will happen in 8 days on the New Year (so says the NPC in LA), so it's impossible to tell yet
boxterduke
Wintersday for the quests and things to collect but Halloween for the decorations.
The cities looked way better in Halloween.
But all in all, Anet I luuuuuuuuuuve you

Well I'll be around for new years. Perfect timing for me to get the rest of the quests and a few items. I was thinking all this ended on the 26th or something...
greenlantern
I hate christmas, so I'd have to go with holloween. The quest are kinda boring... I am glad to see new quest though.
The Wisdom Cube
~_^ HATE CHRISTMAS?!?! why? ppl give you free stuff! halloween is gay, you dress up and scare ppl, big deal. Christmas is WAY better than halloween was, all that happened was some gay guy showed up every 3 hours or so. IMO, wintersday >>>>>>>>>>>>> halloween <---- x13241534533552435434

I think that it is great that they added new quests for a holiday.

i'd be happy if there were no more events, greedy selfish people are only using them to make imaginary money which mean nothing in reality and it spoils the whole spirit of it and turns these events into one big 'be the first to get items and make it rich' farce
Charr Fumes
LOL @ Greygon.
Smilies = Kidding.
Bill O' Reilly can, in the words of Ludacris "Blow it out his ass"
O' Reilly, that loofah mitt freak!
I'd lay a spike trap in front of that freaks microphone if I had a chance!

so far I am for winter's day. The lore talks about the follwers of Dwayna and Greneth fighting it out. I'm thinking a big pvp dustup with the winning team getting a hat or something, I want a red santa hat. Dwayna FTW!!!!

Oh man... you gotta have a drink or something... As long as YOU don't get taken by greedy selfish people then life is good and the season is Merry!
Besides I think I saw more WTB's in LA last night than I saw WTS's... I KNOW that was the case at Granite with the IDS's...

I wasn't around for the halloween event but seen some stuff about it and it looked great craic. However considering that wintersday will result in a battle of some sort between Grenth and Dwayna and the results will be either snow and beautiful winters scenes for a few extra months more of the normal boring "niceness"....em where was I? Oh yes, I like Wintersday.
Support Grenth!
Support Grenth!

I personally liked halloweens event when it came to graphics and such of the three cities and such. But wintersday is better for quests and more items and keeps ya busy since nothing better to do.
Thorn Fangslasher
As long as there is something like the Mad King for Wintersday, Wintersday all the way.
eom
'wintersday'??
how northern hemispherecentric.

if Grenth gives me good presents i will say Wintersday. I dont really like either of the holidays seeing as how people waste money on useless things like candy axes and stuff that cannot help you. I just go on and do what i usually do.
FeuerFrei
Wintersday...gotta love the snowball fight...i think u get a present everytime u participate...correct me if im wrong...and i love my new gingerbread shield lol...

Good job a-net for spending the extra time and hard work to make the holidays even better!
Very creative people working there obviously.
Fantastic job and can't wait for more!!!!

I just wish ppl would stop selling the Candy Cane Shards for like 2k.
Or, not really.. Love stealing their customers by giving the Shards away for free.
A-Net rocks for putting so much effort into the holidays. Great fun!
Shusky
Now that I discovered the snowball arena, I must say it's even awesomer 
Esuna
I'm loving Snowball, that's all I can say It's a relief from Pvp just chucking snowballs the hell out of someone and not worried about this or that XD Although, there are still bigots who take the fun out of the game

Wait a minuite. I recall one of the npcs saying it's "8" days till wintersday.( and that was yesterday).Maybe Tyrias christmas is later on than ours?
Also, I think if Anet do release santa hats on christmas, it will be really bad, as I doubt people would choose to spend time on a game than with there relatives and friends. Yeah, Halloween was ok like that, but Christmas is more important.
