Suggestions:
Add some actvities, time gate them over the run of the winter event. Scavanger hunt, Snowball a Ferengi for charity. Snowman contest (might require a little work...) SNowball fight V Q. (Q: Oh come on, you know want to do it. Look.. The klingons are allready growling and lining up! I'll give you a chance to win.. maybe....)
Mass of Q in historical military uniform voice epic macho "follow me men", "don't throw untill you can see the color of thier comm badge!" etc. phrases as they advance flinging snowballs by volley fire...
More Ice Scating!!!
Sled races, toboggan races TEAM BOBSLED RACES! Hockey game.. (klingons, playing Hockey.. oh YES!) Curling competition, more winter sports activities. More winter themed clothing!! especially for the gals.. Long coats, fur hats, hand muffs, period style winter clothing from different civilizations, era's, cultures, races. Definatly aquireable via contest, purchase, or simply plugging away at it untill you get it..
And Please... the BIG gift from Q should be Q asks you what you want.. and you get to pick from a list!
And oh yea... put to gether some more music this year.. can never have to much music! that way theres a bigger playlist for thew game to choose from.
Add Couple Dancing, couple ice skating (sycronized characters doing things TOGETHER.. the RP crowd will likely go utterly ape gaga over such a thing) We players would consider that really really fun trust us!
More Q.. definatly more Q, lots more Q wise cracks, snide but kind remarks.
What we need is a "winter holiday" reputation line that will take three months to complete. And the Winter Event is only active for 1 month, so it'll take 3 years to finish!
My #1 want? FREE BOXES! They got a lot of money out of the gift boxes last year. You get one and only 1 box(per char) for free each day. Last year you had to complete the ice race to do it. I'd expect something similar this year. (the catch that let them get a truckload of money was that the race usually gives you a crappy box that only has the low teir prizes in it. Buying a box in the store gave you the highest teir of box, but those would sometimes give the best prizes and sometimes give a lower teired box)
Seriously though, I can definately see them doing a daily that gives you a special prize.
Due to high demand, nano-pulse weapons are now unlockable from reputation projects costing 500 Omega Marks, 500 Romulan Marks, 25000 Dilithium and 10 Powered Alien Artifacts.
"We recognise the players' enthusiasm over these weapons and will bring back the weapons to allow more players to have access over them through reasonable reputation projects which has been scaled down to a single player level.
We expect the playerbase to appreciate this and continue to meet our expectations on Dilithium refining through more interesting reputation projects."
As this years "Q" winter Wonderland is already in full swing and would be difficult to do, I would like to Suggest that Next Year for the festivities that they add in a Floor Trophy(s) for your Ships lounge. As either an accolade/comendation? Or Purchaseable through holiday items for the winter wonderland event
I.E. A Christmas Tree with presents underneath (Feds)
I.E. A Snowman Overlord with a hole in his head (KDF)
Or Both for Each. Maybe make them purchasable with Holiday Items like the Coats. This seems like a more appropriate idea than an UNANIMATED Snowman pet that sits there and melts after winter wonderland ends. It would be nice to have this year, but i realize that it takes a lot of coding to add something like this in, so i put it in the suggestions box for it's consideration for next year. But if you can make it happen i am sure that plenty of players would certainly be appreciative, me included!
Would be nice to have friends over in your Ships lounge and sip earl grey tea by the tree, Or open a barrel of blood wine and reminisce on how you took down the snowman overlord with ease.
I'm actually surprised that you guys didn't consider this idea sooner but here it is to think about.
As i stated in my opening, the event is in "full swing" I didnt have forum access before the event started, But a good idea is "STILL" a good idea, even if it does arrive a little late in the game.
And i also stated that they could use this as an idea to implement in FUTURE EVENTS, so i dont really see a problem.
So technically your post is only stating the obvious of what i already said, but thanks for pointing it out.

Won't that be friggin' awesome?

And I have no idea why I saved them.
And add some new types too. Nano Pulse Falcion
OMG.. wouldn't that be rotten by now? Quick dispose of them or risk salmonella poisoning!!
The only reason those showed up was because it was the start of SW-TOR.
They most likely were a one time thing.... and I believe Cryptic even said this.

I'm quoting from a possible future dev blog :eek:
They've been in cryo-storage in the Fleet bank.
Why? Unlike most food items they give combat buffs.

If you look at the date on the post above yours, you will note that these suggestions were made before the event started. That happens to me too
And i also stated that they could use this as an idea to implement in FUTURE EVENTS, so i dont really see a problem.
