    I see it on my screen and I'm pressing it like crazy. It does nothing!

    Where's the panic button for the panic button?

    They pushed the wrong button. It appears it was the PANIC button. Hopefully things will calm down once they notice which button was pushed.

    Thankfully not being a Christian I have avoided this years Christmas Emergency, as in my mother in laws awful awful super dry turkey.

    So lets say a prayer for my husband known in game as @magikmidget1975 who will no doubt suffer a serious bought of food poisoning . It is double awful for him for he had to go back to Texas for the holidays.

    Me I have the house to myself and a brand new Wii U \o/

    Yes I know there is an awful lot of hypocrisy in this post but its FESTIVE HYPOCRISY!

    Merry Christmas XD

    I'm sure that Cryptic defenders will post any time now to tell us that everything is ok and that we just have to have a bit of (blind unconditional) faith in Cryptic like they do. And to stop the fear mongering cuz the Christmas event being broken and still not working on Christmas day is not the end of the world, or any indication of Cryptic's competence and dedication to this game, at all...

    I have the odd feeling that it went like this...

    "Hey Bob, don't we have to put that event on tonight?"

    "Naw John, we'll do it later."

    -Next Day-

    "Yeah! Holiday! Don't have to work!"

    And thus the event was spoiled...Wait, do we even have two people on the team? :confused:

    I think instead that it went like this:
    Ok we are a little late but we can pull this right John, Bob, Samanth...where has anyone gone?
    The janitor : They are helping the staff of STO for their winter event.
    WHAAAT ?
    Call on the phone the manager
    The manager : Oh. Hi I was just about to call you. Listen when you have finished there could you join temporaly the staff of STO ? Just for the Christmas...

    Nah they will tell you that the event is suppose to start 10AM PST/1PM EST. At least that is what I was told in zone chat, however I have not seen an offical post anywhere stating that either. My hopes are low on this one too.

    What exactly is the Christmas event supposed to be again? Really, I can't tell anything from these forums as everyone is trying so hard to out-sarcasm each other you can no longer tell what's true or not.

    There's a tree in ren cen and snow effect. What is supposed to be happening that isn't? Like an invasion or something?

    Or, y'know, you could have just enjoyed a morning with family and friends (assuming you have any), and come this afternoon to find the event in full swing.

    But I suppose if you're looking to hate on folks for not being GW2 or having elves qua elves, that's your prerogative. It just gets a bit tiresome after a while, is all...

    You can get gifts from the Tree, if you collect a bunch of mob-junk you can trade that stuff in to the elves for some gear, Clarence is out and about hugging and smashing, and there's a mini-lair to run for costume pieces and stuff. You get the mission to do that after beating Clarence.

    I finished Black Harlequin's lair for the first time this year and I have to say I greatly enjoyed it.

    The boss was very challenging and I simply adored the voice acting.
    It may not be a huge addition to last year's event but it was well executed nonetheless.

    This^

    Also missing the point--I don't have to compare this game to GW2* to draw the conclusion that this event not being on was a fail because as far as I know this event has never been this late in this game before, which makes it a failure even if we lower down the bar to CO's standards.

    *which I haven't been playing this month, by the way--been focusing on TSW and CO

    I was perfectly chilled at the time of that post. It was more a comment on the fact any time someone brings up something being broken and people start to comment on it someone seems to come along and chastises them for acknowledging the presence of broken features.

    Yet it reads as if you're overly defensive and shrill. Passive agressive, one might say. Attempting to shut down any counter views to your own before they're presented, others would say.

    I hear acceptance is the last step in the greiving process.

    There is a whole dedicated team of devs working hard on this game, it's only that they can't answer to each and everyone of your posts, of course!
    Just because I look outside from my window and see no cat outside doesn't mean cats are an extinct species.
    Now lay down the doom pipe and be more positive, it'll help the game.

    Very strange cat analogy, tell me...when you look out of your window and see no cats in your garden, would you think that there are no cats on your garden, or imagine an invisible team of them, in your garden shed, working on an mmo? O.o

    I hear acceptance is the last step in the greiving process.

    I already had before you dug up that post from the first page after it had already become irrelevant, considering that the event was already up and running by that time.

    You keep drinking that Kool-Aid! I'm sure that if you say that often enough it might be true. And considering that (as has already been pointed out) two could technically be considered a "team" it might already be.
    Just because I look outside from my window and see no cat outside doesn't mean cats are an extinct species.

    Of course it doesn't. There might still be cats in other parts of the world (other game companies) or even in other neighborhoods (projects or divisions within the same company). But if you consistently look outside your window and there are never any cats, it might just be an indication that there might not be any (or many) around your house or neighborhood (the actual game you play).

    I'd say that bringing up questions about my family/friends--whether I have any or spend time with them during the Holidays--just because I made a comment in a game board that did not involve anyone's family in it qualifies as a personal insult.

    Because the devs are supposed to out on the factory floor in full view of the foremen-players once they've clocked in?
