Farohna.6247 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I look forward to Wintersday and have been decorating the guild hall in preparation for it. What's your favorite part of the festival? I genuinely enjoy building the army of snowmen and catapults, although I hope they make it a little harder this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fueki.4753 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) Excluding all the over-sized Charr and Norn players, I usually enjoy the Jump Puzzle the most. Arenanet really should turn other players into special snowflakes or something else that's seasonally fitting, similar to the wisps in Halloween's clock tower. The bell choir comes in at second place. Edited December 5, 2022 by Fueki.4753 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I like the variety of mini games. There's some I enjoy more than others (I especially like Bell Choir and the jumping puzzle) but the main thing I like is having multiple activities to choose from and working my way round all of them. I try to make sure I do each one at least once a year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashantara.8731 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 The Winterwonderland jumping puzzle is my favorite, too. I also like the strike mission, though it should be farmable like Halloween's labyrinth. Certain rewards are limited to "once a day". 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HnRkLnXqZ.1870 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Winter Wonderland. I love doing the Gingerbread path, because it is the most challenging and gives the best loot. All the macro users keep the challenge up. I do not consider them a disturbance. Even the big characters are fun to outrun. I do not go for maximum efficiency, rather play for fun and entertainment. Which means I sometimes go for extra-risky jumps that almost always end in the pit. On the other hand, I like waiting at the gift-stairs for more people or use the initial snow-flakes the proper way. It is not much of a slow-down, but brightens the mood of the other participants ^^. The only really annoying part is the targeting of other players which has never been fixed. It is only used by salty trolls to distract certain players, so they make mistakes. We will have a bunch of threads about this topic again this year. Sigh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh I'm still working on that after four years as well, don't know if I'll ever finish it, but it's a long term goal. 13 hours ago, TOAD.4718 said: This will be my first so I’m sure I’ll enjoy just participating in it.

MarkBecks.6453 Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Hoping for better loot, otherwise it's just rinse and repeat, but do like the festive atmosphere and the number of people on the same map, reminds me of Friday night reset in wvw, the anticipation, the wait, the nervous chat and finally, go go go!! otherwise, we welcome all the bots and trolls and wish them all the happiness in the world 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashen.2907 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Perhaps an odd response, but for me it is less the activities and more the general ambience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't find that odd at all, I think that's a good 75 percent of it. The activities are fun, but the ambience is a huge part, much like festivals in real life. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a massive part of it and why I like it in Divinity’s Reach which has a Victorian Christmas feels in its streets. The activities and ambience together create it as a festival. Oh and the food. Just saying Anet if you are reading this. The food. Don’t forget the food… 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheQuickFox.3826 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Getting the annual +50 AP pop up. For the rest: I just like the atmosphere and music. It's a nice festival and it truly captures the Christmas spirit. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eekasqueak.7850 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 The karma is nice, I'm not -really- the biggest Christmas fan so most of the rest is just ok. I guess I like the minigame activity thing where you hold off waves of toys too? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
