Rift Warden?
Where the F is the Rift Warden? I don't see him in Kamadan.--99.225.28.182 22:46, December 18, 2009 (UTC)


 * They'll appear on Monday. &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 22:57, December 18, 2009 (UTC)


 * Geez, it's that time of year again? Time to buckle down for some more attempts at Polar bear farming.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]] Entrea   [Talk]  23:52, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * They are here now, happy farming everyone. Try to keep count of how many runs u did :P Lยкץ๒๏ץ talk  21:45, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

Factions
Why doesn't factions have the event yet? what's wrong? Jedibob5 19:06, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * Um, because it doesn't? Prophecies/Nightfall get Halloween and Wintersday, Factions gets Canthan New Year and Dragon Festival.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 19:18, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * The continent of Tyria is roughly equivalent to Europe and celebrates the more Western holidays. Cantha is effectively the Asia of Guild Wars and celebrates holidays that are more closely related to those of Eastern cultures. Don't ask how Elona has the same holidays as Tyria. Probably because it would have been too convoluted to have another set of holidays to keep up with throughout the year, so it was just easier to synchronize it with Tyria. SlothIncarnate 14:53, December 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * Not to mention Tyria and Elona are on the exact same continent, one just being south of the other. The two have always been much more closely linked.  It makes no less sense for Tyrians and Elonans to celebrate the same holidays as it does for Ascalons and Krytans to celebrate the same holidays. --76.113.200.14 01:23, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

Costumes
With the recent introduction of costumes does anyone think is it possible that we could see full costumes replacing the festival hats in events? SlothIncarnate 14:57, December 19, 2009 (UTC)


 * Possible, but I doubt it. If people can get full costumes for free, they'll be less likely to want the ones that aren't free, and that would reduce Anet's cash flow.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 16:35, December 19, 2009 (UTC)


 * Unless the ones that ARE free, are bullshit ones like Santa Claus suits, Grentch suits etc. At least the Grenth's and Dwayna's costumes look good. -- N  aoroji   16:38, December 19, 2009 (UTC)


 * any predictions on costumes for the other gods? maybe Melandru in the spring time. Bottle130 11:21, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * That would have to be free, no one would pay to have wooden tits strapped to their body.--99.225.28.182 19:56, December 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * Well apparently we get hats again this year, but they don't look too bad. There's a picture up on the German wiki page here. --82.71.41.74 19:02, December 27, 2009 (UTC)


 * More female love. Hmm... And I think of all things, we will get new holiday hats and celestial minis until all GW1 servers are completely closed, which I don't see happening anytime soon. RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 19:35, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

CC shards?
Will we be able to trade in CC shards for presents at some point? &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.101.182.153 (contribs).


 * Wintersday Gift Givers are in LA and Kamadan, as well as the Dwayna Vs Grenth outpost. &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 14:52, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * First I'm getting that übercool Candy Cane Longbow for pulling. But what to do with the rest? Save till you can bet on Grenth or Dwayna or just trade for gifts? Fleshcrawler   Soban  15:29, December 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * You only need a few CCS to play Nine Rings (Wintersday). Dwayna's/Grenth's points are based on how many CCS are "bet" in the game, which is 1 per character per round, not how many the characters have in their inventories.  And no matter which circle you stand in, you will at least break even, on average.  So yeah, keep a few for the finale, but go ahead and trade the rest for gifts.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 15:40, December 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * Iirc, there are 15 game rounds. Considering you win some shards back during the game, you can probably get away with 6 or 7 at start and still get through all 15 rounds, unless you hit a really bad losing streak. RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 19:39, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

Presents after leaving the area?
Lies... O_o RoseOfKali 09:30, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

Mask Bug
Stupid bug. Every one I spoke didn't get a grenth head in LA, In EU dstr. and so did I. It sucks. More have the same problem? --   † F1 ©  Talk  11:34, January 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * I got a Grenth in LA En-5 at 8:01, no dwayna in En-8 at 11:01  Random  Time   11:37, January 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * (EC) Oh, yeah. I've had two fails trying to get Grenth's hat so far... now 2 and a half more hours to wait.  Glad I'm afking and working on something else right now, or else I'd be more than just mildly annoyed.  But yeah, lots of problems so far.  Nwash  [[Image:User-Nwash-Eyes.png]] 11:38, January 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * It seems loads of people didn't get a hat the second time. No one I talked to got a hat. I was in Am dis 33 LA.--[[Image:El Nazgir sig.png|Talkpage]]El_Nazgir 11:39, January 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * I did get Dwayna's during the first event. It does seem like more people are reporting problems with Grenth's, so maybe the whole exploding present thing is exacerbating whatever's causing this.  Maybe.
 * Or it just means more people start with Dwayna first, and the problems cropped up halfway through the first event. >.>  Nwash  [[Image:User-Nwash-Eyes.png]] 11:45, January 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Checked all Districts of both cities...I only talked to two people who got hats. Somewhat depressing that A-Net would let this slide. Everyone is hoping for new build or redux. I guess we'll just have to find out. Middleschoo2  11:50 January 1, 2010
 * Even better... just have an NPC I can turn in 250 shards to and pick which hat I want/need/etc... Nova-exarch 11:55, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

I had two characters (one from each account) in the same district on the same spot (EU-Russia-1-Kamadan) and only one of them received the Snow Crest. Been AFK since before midnight my local time on both accounts, so have gone through two rounds on them, and still nothing. HanokOdbrook 12:32, January 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * I've seen alot of reports of American and Euro-English Districts. But what about the german/french/spanish etc. etc. districts?. I assume the same but who knows... Lยкץ๒๏ץ talk  14:06, January 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep, exactly the same problem. I'm from Germany. 2 tries in Kamadan no hat. -- 84.175.82.170 14:27, January 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * After 4 tryes I finnely got the Grenth hat in Kamadan Dstr 7 -- F1Sig.png  † F1 ©  Talk  14:35, January 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Another weird thing is that some people DO get them while others dont. What is the diffrence between the ones that do get em and the ones that dont? Lยкץ๒๏ץ talk  14:47, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

This is just bad. I mean, it's not really the first time ever they had these events. Just give all accounts one of each hat, can't see why I should have to pay up with 250 ccs.
