Anyone else want the winterevent extended?

If you're like me, you've probably been working sooooooo much the last 2 weeks that you haven't had time to really work on the event for your characters. Always seems to be a big time squeeze during the week before Christmas and the time afterwards with certain jobs now days, mine included.

With that said, how about extending the event duration another week or 2? Last years event ran for so much longer and there was more time to get things done. Not like it would hurt anyway to have more stuff to do between waiting on issue 20.

Other than having a few of my guys take on Lady Winter, I've not participated at all in this year's winter event and have in fact been absent for most of it. A slight case of the Ho Ho Humbug, as it were. I would not mind at all, however, if it was extended a bit for those still enjoying it.

Let the good times roll. Seylah!

Well it's not like the event significantly interferes with anyone who doesn't want to participate, so i see no issues with it being extended for those who want it. i still have a few alts that could use some of the badges and shinies from the events, but keep finding that i lack the urge to grind it out for the candy canes required after having done it on two characters already.

Likewise, today (or rather tonight) will be the first time since the event started that I may be able to get on and play. I'd like to see it extended for 1 week.

At least you did two toons. I am just doing it with one. Then I'll make a Spring Fling toon, and after that I'll make a Halloween Toon! Those will probably be my only three toons. Seems I finally found my way of having fun in the game with Event/ Holiday based toons.

/cleans up another winter lord someone left behind...

Other than these, and helping a friend get his Red Cap daggers, I've mostly ignored the event. *shrug* I don't really care *when* it goes away - unless there's a winter lord right by a contact or mission door, at which point having it done and gone is more appealing.

I'd like it extended. My partner just got back into Going Rogue, but she rejoined the day before yesterday. With New Year's Eve and all other such things, we haven't been able to go on that many in-game dates...

... we're dorks.

I don't mind them extending it ... some people really enjoy it .. I did the Winter Lady mission a few times, but I can't make myself do it any more .. it's just no fun for me to do the same mission over and over and over and over.

As long as it doesn't delay any patches (don't think there are any upcoming on the test server) sure, go right ahead.

I'm just tired of having to dodge all the lonely Winterlords that have been abandoned in all the lowbie zones. I'm event'd out.

2 weeks is plenty long enough. I'm not in favor of an extension.

Please, do not extend the event. Not enough people actually participate in them to make an extension anything more than a bother


There is no such thing as an "innocent bystander"

YES.

I wouldn't be so insistent if they just opened the ski chalet permanently though. It's the mean reason I want it extended.


A game is not supposed to be some kind of... place where people enjoy themselves!

 

Posted

Sure, I'd like it extended.

Espically for the ski slopes. Despite sucking at them.


I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.

Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.

So sad to be ending ):

I'll chime in for an extension.

I'm in the middle of my work weekend and can't log in till after it's over. With vacations, family events, work weekends, and over 50 alts left to go, another 2 weeks would be fabulous.

I agree that the Winter Event should be extended, at the very least, through January 6th (which is Christmas to orthodox Christians).

I also wouldn't mind if the ski lodge were accessible from the beginning of the Winter Event through February 2nd (Candlemas/Imbolc/St Brigid's Day) or even through the end of winter (20 or 21 March). Just "hide" Father Time and the Candy Keeper when the Winter Event ends and leave the ski lodge open longer

There's really no reason to. 2 Weeks is a long time for not a whole lot of stuff to do.

Unless you're one of those candy cane farmers.

Ski Slopes on my server haven't even been competitve this year, *sighs*

It's also during a season when a lot of people don't have much free time to do it. Some people actually work much longer hours than usual during this season.

Eh, don't really care. This year I about totally ignored it with the exception of opening 1 present near me to stop the humming sound (while I waited for the team to form).

In my perfect game world, the ski chalet would just be left open all year round (minus mission contacts and probably the candy cane store), along with some new addition on the other side of the club. The club is in a pocket dimension created by DJ Zero; there's no reason why it can't expand!

As for the event being extended? Don't really care either way. It's a fairly unobtrusive event.

I'd be OK with not extending the event if they kept the ski chalet open even just 'til the end of January.

This times infinity!

It gives us a great RP spot that has all the advantages of Pocket D, but a different feel.
