    Well, I like how this year that Q's granted us his powers to manipulate time and space but finding out just what to make with such godlike powers is a little...

    ...wait, that's the Foundry coming back online. Ah, the winter event. The Kramp'ihri fight is fun but it feels a little light. Scrambling for presents could be a bigger part but I don't think they come frequently enough. You could try to make the man a present piñata and see how that goes (change emphasis on rewards versus other events.) Being sacked also doesn't seem significant enough to factor into gameplay choices. I'd like to see a slightly longer sack period to make it something you try to avoid, rather than just deal with for a brief moment.

    Well, "Being Sacked" is amusing to those watching. And I'm sure to Q.

    I am so over the ice race. You all need to do something different. You know something gimp friendly cause not all of us are able bodied people.

    I am disappointed that after holding on to wild cherry and cherry epohh elders I still cannot turn them into marks. Over a year now and no one checks to see that this is working?

    I have always loved the way the Breen ships looked. Sleek and intimidating!

    I want to be able to earn the previous years ships, bring back that feature for those that come in during later years or missed the event from the year before. Makes no sense why you guys wont let us do it anymore after so many years of being able to.

    I also can't sell cherry epohhs. Expanded the window for the GPL console, checked every single item at the bottom. Cherry epohhs are not there. Come on people, it's been a year now!

    I enjoy this event every year. People often ask me why I won't go outside and play in real snow. Well, real snow is cold, and this event facilitates simulated snow in a warm environment.

    Me too. This would be great.

    I like the Winter Event. The Pumpkin Spice coats are so hideously orange they are bee-yoot-iful. Like the Nerf Gun as well. Seems a bit OP but maybe that's just me. I say this because I was one-shotting Snowmen during the Snowball Fight. Enjoyed the ice fishing event last year. Laughed whenever I caught the fish so big it fit entirely over my char. Enjoyed it this evening as well. The Black Nanopulse Mek'letlh really should have something other than the standard sword animations. While I don't mind the race for tokens to acquire the Winter Ship, I do wish there was an additional way to earn the tokens. This year, I want to do all the events I normally don't pay attention to.

    Overall, the general silliness of Q's Winter Wonderland is a fun time where I get to kick back and not worry about saving the Galaxy from the next Big Bad.

    I’m having a blast! Really enjoy the nerf gun and sticking it to Kramp’lhri. At one point I had a 100k plus hit with that weapon. Got my best winter duds on, switched to ground specs for the first time in a year, dusted off the old kit modules from last year. Probably the most instances I’ve seen filled in a lonnnnngggg time. My fleet had more than a dozen members working together on one zone. In fact, they’re still going and I’m about to hit the hay.

    Wondering if tomorrow the new ground weapon will be visible.

    The other Winter Kit Modules need to be turned into BOFF Training Manuals.

    I spend 2-3 minutes to get my ship tokens, then log out as the rest is meh. Nothing there to keep me occupied.
    Definitely not an Arc User.

    I just tried, scrolled through every item in the store to sell Epohh Elder - Wild Cherry, no option there. Created a ticket: ticket ID #4,631,216.
    Pretty please with icing on top, fix it!

    Ok it's winter...but breen again and again and again? That's a bit boring.
    I would have appreciated as the reward : "choose any event past ship".
    I missed the nandi warship, and i would like to get it.

    You don't sell them in the Winter Event Store. You convert them to Marks at the GPL station near the Epohh Lady.

    You know what... You were right. I sold my Lime Epohh. I still have a Cherry on my KDF Orion. Yep. Somebody slipped up on this one. :/

    Edit - I just re-checked - Epohh Cherry and Wild Cherry can only be sold as pups the way it looks right now.

    This was my first time undertaking a Winter Event (curiousity, rather than a desire to get the ship) It is a really nice event. I love the Nexus-esque music. I really can't decide if I want the ship or not, I might run a few more races while I make up my mind... That said, I'm pretty much done with it... Nanopulse lirpas all round, and a spiffy long-coat for my AOY tac alt, so there's not really anything left for me to do (unless I do decide to go for the ship) :sunglasses:

    The only thing I'm a bit disappointed by, and nothing really to do with the event itself, is that there's only one of each color lirpa per player, meaning I can't have an away team where every boff each has, say, a blue one. And it's a shame that they're not upgradable.

    Can't comment on the mek'leth yet, as I can't see it... Hopefully, when their visibility is restored, they won't be as oversized as they appear in the promotional picture, afterall, they're only about a foot and a half long, not a full-sized sword ;)

    But those tiny gripes aside, a really really nice level and activity. Thank you :sunglasses:

    Bored its been done to death. Yet another ice race which is no challenge, just a waste of time. After running it 100's of times on 1 character we now need to run it again.

    Brought all the new stuff on day 1 but wont use any of it as unlike past years all the new stuff is rubbish fillers without a decent use. The new event is just a rehash and boring with little point to it. This year I will be spending the bare minimum time needed in Winter land.

    I used to come for the fun, and the prizes were a nice bonus. Now that they've sucked the fun out of it under the banner of anti-griefing I just farm the race, collect the accolades, and log off till the following year.

    Somebody might want to send up the Bat Signal because the servers are down. Looks like across the board.
