“Happy Kryptis to all, and to all a good night!” ArenaNet declared while opening the Guild Wars 2 Wintersday events as of this afternoon and turning on the Christmas sparklies.
“Divinity’s Reach is the hub for Wintersday festivities,” the studio says. “Check your mail for a letter from Tixx containing an Invitation to Wintersday, which you can use to travel instantly to Divinity’s Reach. Portals leading to Divinity’s Reach will also be available in Lion’s Arch, the Black Citadel, Hoelbrak, Rata Sum, and the Grove.” Events at the hub include the traditional bell choir rhythm game, mount racing, snowball PvP, Tixx’s airship, the Secret Lair of the Snowmen strike mission, the Winter Wonderland jumping puzzle, and the Toypocalypse tower defense mode.
Patch notes are already up with some new additions; we spy some new cosmetics, cheevos, weapon drops, minipet, guild decor, and some bug fixes too.
Anet stresses that the festival is doable by all levels, so noobs are welcome. The events march onward until January 2nd.
