When does the Winter Event ACTUALLY end?

I've read that the Winter Event is until Jan 31... but there are still 'presents' one can grab, the winter area in Pocket D is still accessible, and etc.

When do these actually go away? I'm guessing tonight at some point (Jan 1), though I don't know what time zone is the 'official' time zone for the game (PST, EST,...)...

You might be confusing the date the Holiday and New Years Packs stop being sold (Jan 31) with the end of the Winter Event itself.

Yeah, the ski chalet, the presents, all of that stuff goes away this Tuesday.

The Market items for the holiday, which includes the Winter pack full of stuff -from- the winter event, are available until the end of this month.

Basically, if you want specific winter items for free, do it before Tuesday. Otherwise, you'll have to purchase stuff with paragon points, though doing so will unlock it account wide. And for anyone that misses out on the event they'll still have a window to get the unlockables.

I am as shocked that CoH actually ended their winter event on time as I would if the government actually finished something on time and under budget.



Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.

Is it because of the shock of a timely manner or the fact that they have a habit of extending events? :-p
