Have to say both the Midsummer and the Winter Festival are my absolute favorites in the calender. I have been and will be enjoying them for the second time. I think the zones are beautiful and the content enjoyable.
Winter Festival comes up on top because of the ice race and fishing, just grant. One thing though: I'd LOVE to have an item added to the event rewards sometime in the future that would grant you access to the areas all year, similar to the Garden Key. Just don't run the events and remove the currency outside the Festival days, but let us kill some trolls, herd chicken, ice race and fish all year!

Huzza!
And Hooray!

I hope they don't do the same thing as last year, since they deleted my 2000 lights when mod5 came. Hours of farming thrown away, like not getting my rewards last year wasn't enough.

I can't wait to skip it, since I use none of the stuff I got last year.

It's apparently the new pattern with Cryptic -- just before a festival or event delete all event currency.
They did the same thing with the Summer Festival.
So, only grind if you can complete and buy what you want BEFORE the end of the festival, 'cause any grinding you do that you don't spend will be deleted.
I might be one of the only people that does NOT like the Winter Festival. I hope it is better than last years, and I hope that everyone enjoys it, but I will not be joining in for the festival missions.
And this is what i like about the event.
Lazy people stay out, aswell as the majority of elitists, who don't want to farm/earn their items.
Merry Christmas, i'd say.
I am neither lazy nor elitist. I simply do not like the confluence of hundreds of people, large amounts of lag and repetitive farming for rewards that do not impress me that much. i do like the fawn, but I am content with not getting one because I would not be using it even if I had one.

Meh , the Ice Sprite still the only new addition to the reward list , thank god to get either the companion or mount you only have to spend 30 seconds doing the daily every day for a couple of weeks , hopefully the companion will be BoE again like last year , personally I'll do the daily on all my alts so I can get a crapload of free companions to sell later in the year like last year then forget about the place unless they added some new pass times and rewards to the place.

There really aren't any items worth working for. Even my newest alts have no use for the fawn, mimic and 50% sled. The only reason for most of us to do it, especially those of us who did it last year, is to sell the rewards, which really aren't worth much.
However if we could upgrade last years rewards, it might be worth it.

Puns, a primer: A pun is when you use homonyms to make a humourous yet painful statement. So for instance
Fawn of the Dead = a pun
Night of the Living Fawn =/= a pun.

Sprite of the living dead? ( IceSprite new companion)
Unfortunately no. "He cut off his nose to sprite his face." however would. "de Sprite all else." would also work. A little inSprite would help you generate your own.

Really hope they don't turn this into a grind fest.

Bought a ton of scarves for a character I don't even use now because all the HAMSTER was bound to it.

Yeah, but the Undead Fishermen do spice up the monotony.
That was half the fun I had there last year.. patrolling the ice so people can fish in peace. Nothing but nuking skellies, for me. Hahaha
Oh.. that, and doing the running jump over that accelerator hill to reach the ledge on the other side of the ice... XD
Yes, the event is grindy, but all are. Winter Festival has some unique fun parts though.
Don't you mean interrupt the monotony :P.
