Wintersday is comming to Guild Wars 2

You just can’t have a great Tyrian holiday without the ancient Wintersday event. This holiday is scheduled for December 14th and will continue until January 3rd.
 

The official announcement for the Wintersday event:

The nights may be long and dark, but Tyrians of all races keep joy alive during the ancient holiday of Wintersday. While each race celebrates Wintersday in their own unique way, children all over Tyria share a common love of one thing: toys.
 
This year the city of Lion’s Arch will host the asuran Toymaker Tixx as their special guest of honor. Before Tixx arrives in Lion’s Arch in his massive airship toy workshop, he’ll visit every major city in Tyria to deliver Wintersday toys and holiday cheer.

 
In the gallery below you can find some breathtaking screenshots. I truly hope that ArenaNet learned a few lessons from the previous events, which means the players will be able to enjoy the event without lags, disconnections and unnecessary in-game bugs.

Create a new look for your Guild Wars 2 character

total makeover kit
It would be a great mistake if you are still thinking that you cannot change your character appearance. In the Black Lion Trading Company, under the Services tab, there are two new items: Self-Style Hair Kit and Total Makeover Kit.
 
With the Self-Style Hair Kit you can modify your appearance settings for hair style, hair color, horns and facial hair. The kit is consumed on accepting a new appearance.
 
With the Total Makeover Kit you can modify your appearance settings for height, physique, skin color, markings, face, hair, gender. Race and profession will remain the same. The kit is consumed on accepting a new appearance.
 
The prices are great: 250 Gems for Self-Style Hair Kit, and 350 Gems for Total Makeover Kit. In the video below you can see the new kits in action.
 
Tell us is your character perfect or you want to change something?

Rewards for those disconnect at the end of GW2 Lost Shores Event

Martin Kerstein, ArenaNet’s Head of Global Community, posted on the official GW2 forum the following explanation:
 

We have a team looking into disconnection problems that prevented some people from receiving their event rewards.
 
We will implement a solution so that people who participated will get their rewards, but this takes work on our end, so it will not happen today.
 
Keep an eye on our forums and social media channels, we will let you know once we have the solution in place.
 
Thank you, and we apologize that you were unable to claim your rewards.
