Introductions (0:25)[edit]
Rubi Bayer: Hi guys! Welcome back to a Wintersday episode of Guild Chat. This is Nellie. Good Lord!
Nellie Hughes: No, it's actually Rubi!
Rubi: It's just going to be back and forth the whole time. We're starting to get like a little bit of the holiday fun senioritis, I guess? So we are going to do a Wintersday Guild Chat today. I'm not sure. I just asked Mark like right before we went live: how long is it going to snow? So... We'll have some snow for a little bit. I'm your host Rubi. I want to tell Bog Otter and AuroraPeachy and MMOINKS thanks for the pre-show. Thank you guys all for spending some time with us and letting us host your live stream. I also want to thank our Guild Wars 2 community for the cupcakes we got yesterday.
Nellie: They were so good.
Rubi: They were amazing. There was a really big collection. There was a lot going on to get those here and they arrived yesterday and it absolutely made our day so thank you all. What we're going to talk about today: we have an update coming next Tuesday and it's got a lot going on. We're going to be making some adjustments to fractal rewards. I know a lot of you were wondering about that, so that's coming on next Tuesday. Stronghold's coming back! We finally knocked out that exploit that we were telling you guys about. There are some bug fixes coming and a few other things. The big thing is Wintersday, so we're going to focus on that today and I brought in Nellie Hughes to come and talk to us about that and-
Nellie: Hello!
Rubi: Show off our Wintersday traditions for those of you who are new to Guild Wars 2. And we have some new things to show off!
Nellie: Yep.
Rubi: So it's a whole bunch so why don't we go ahead and get started.
Nellie: Alright!
Wintersday (2:01)[edit]
Rubi: Where is Divinity's Reach? Where is- We're playing Jeopardy now. Where is Wintersday this year?
Nellie & Rubi: What is Divinity's Reach?
Nellie: So Wintersday actually takes place in the Crown Pavilion. You know, most of the activities are there. You will find orphans scattered around Tyria. Some of them are cleverly hiding from you, so good luck finding all of them.
Rubi: The thing I did want to mention, we talked about this yesterday while we were running through this, the thing that I really loved was if you talk to the NPC when you come into Divinity's Reach, if you're coming in for the first time, there's a guide NPC right at the entrance to Divinity's Reach and you can talk to him and ask why, you know, well how come just Divinity's Reach? I mean it was all over the place last year. What's going on? And I don't know if you did that dialogue or if you've seen the dialogue?
Nellie: I have seen the dialogue. No, I did not do it. It's pretty ingenious.
Rubi: He's just like, well-
Nellie: Consumerism!
Rubi: The human race funds Winter- Uh, I mean they support Wintersday a lot more. Plus Lion's Arch has a tendency to sink so we're just going to do it here in Divinity's Reach, which I got, again, over in the Crown Pavilion.
Nellie: Sweet!
Rubi: So what have we got- Let's see. Oh, you know what? If you are a play for free player we want you to come celebrate, too. So you guys are welcome. You need to be level 10 to come into Divinity's Reach if you're play for free. It takes no time at all.
Nellie: Hang out in front of Queensdale and just kill stuff and you'll get there quick enough.
Rubi: Yep. Just murder things for awhile between now and Tuesday.
Nellie: Yep. just murder things for a while. Do events, too, but murder things. Bambi. Bambi and her family.
Rubi: Get to level 10 between now and Tuesday and come join the Wintersday festivities. Alright, so... We are in the Crown Pavilion?
Nellie: We are in the Crown Pavilion. And first thing we're going to do is we're going to show some of the sweet presents? We're doing the presents, right?
Rubi: Yeah! You get just like free presents everyday if you run around.
Nellie: Well you do! All of- You'll see the Wintersday trees around. You'll be able to get a present out of each one of them on a daily basis.
Rubi: Love it.
Nellie: Yep. And this year, you're using all of those socks, hats and sweaters that you collected last year and you are wrapping them up for some orphans who could use-
Rubi: Oh! I don't have any socks! Oh, no! Huh, let's see what I can do.
Nellie: But I can buy a Princess Wand Skin and then go back and wrap that, too.
Rubi: Yeah, so if you were around last year you might still have a Princess Wand Skin lying around.
Nellie: All the weapon skins from last year can be wrapped and given to our orphans.
Rubi: So can we talk to- Is there an orphan nearby that we can talk to?
Nellie: I think so. I think I saw one over here.
Rubi: Hear what he or she has to say?
Nellie: If I remember correctly... Here we go.
Rubi: You know what? We're going to find out now it like got cold and they all went inside.
Nellie: Yeah, right? These are all hiding.
Rubi: Oh, there's one.
Nellie: Yep. Aww.
Rubi: Aww! Bless her heart!
Nellie: Yep. She's sad, but now you gave her stuff so she'll give you-
Rubi: And she gives you karma!
Nellie: Wintersday is our karma holiday, so you will notice that all of our activities kind of revolve around karma. You will get a lot. Trust me. I have accumulated a lot.
Rubi: So much karma. I saw-
Nellie: I'm looking for the snowball fights! We're gonna go-
Rubi: Yeah! There is a thing of snow up here by the candy canes, I believe?
Nellie: Up here? Ooh, yes.
Rubi: Because I just saw like a snow explosion off in the distance.
Nellie: Alright.
Rubi: And if you guys have been around for, well, at least last Wintersday you're familiar with some of the traditions. If you're a new player who showed up in the last year-
Nellie: Oh! I got him! Pssh! So, yes.
Rubi: So... that's actually not getting him, that's him knocking you down. So you guys can see-
Nellie: I know, I know. I never said I was good at this.
i'm the worst oh see i got him oh nice i'm not like that kids knows players can also do this too so if you want to get in on the action uh all right all right i've i've abused enough children for today what else what else can we do uh where's some magic snow where we can build a snowman oh let me find something because you get there's an achievement for building snowmen there are yes so scattered around you'll find magic snow don't eat it if it's yellow none of our magic snow is yellow though here we go and no you cannot make yellow snow no you cannot nope all right so you build snowman um it gives you works towards your daily achievements uh just like last year we've got you know the winter's day achievements um um how about hohotron oh he looks i couldn't help myself that's where i was going i love him he's my favorite he is he's the best please give him a copper first because his snark makes me happy have a copper that was literally literally the least you could do geez nelly it sounds like what i would say all right we're going to have to do this a couple times your generosity will purchase food medical care all right so what nellie's doing you can keep donating gold to him and silver and copper there's also an achievement for each level of donation yep and once he has enough gold this okay yeah you can see his funds donated bar filling up once he has enough gold now in theory many people will be doing this yeah you are not the only one sitting here and spamming the fbi all of your gold yeah once players donate enough gold it will kick off the dolyak escort gully i guess i was logged in and could come could come i know i'm going broke here better give me some good questions i am equipped with all basic social interactions i love home i know he's just he's just in there doing whatever's needed almost yay all right here we go so this yeah feeding him gold is literally an event so you get participation rewards for that and then you follow him you gotta make sure the doliak makes it he's delivering presents interaction with caravan attempting distraction oh get the script so you gotta help fight off some script oh wait time to officially rename this script i like that i i agree with that this event makes me ridiculously happy because you're just booting these script they're trying to steal your gifts yeah oh oh he also every once in a while he will drop a gift i don't know where that came from i did not see it again don't ask back do not ask yeah i don't want one of those you'd rather just yep all right so every time you boot one of the script away his health goes down a little bit [Music] and again you'll have lots of people doing this with you oh hey present we get your you get presents along the way and hohotron is saying stop the script the donations must reach their destination is delivering all your donations yep let's see can you throw snowballs at the script i don't know let's try where'd they go oh he's taking it out right here oh no it's hard yeah no oh i see some up here though all right do it oh i got hit with one ass nope i don't think the snowballs do anything that's okay because you have two feet to kick with yep all right so those of you who are new to winter's day you can participate in all of these oh no oh we failed we failed was eaten i guess i'm not sure lots of script dragged him down yes see so those are all of our open world things but it's not even close to did we get all of the open world stuff yep i think we did all right why don't we check out the infinerarium all right but first you have to say it before you can go there you're going to make me do this i've been butchering it all week infinerarium yay i actually did say it right i got this while she's going there i will tell just a tiny just a tiny bit i got this great email from nelly i think it was yesterday and she was just confirming here are the events that we're going to look at on the show today and it was like infinite or whatever yeah was the email topic that was my actual yes that's how i pronounce it again i want to rename it uh so this one is the toy airship uh this is a five-man raid usually or five-man activity uh there's a couple different things that you do in here you paint dolls you collect toys you kill toys uh it seems a little counter productive but i get it uh evil toys they're evil broken toes evil broken toys you stop these evil script from taking stuff there's a lot of different stuff in here yes this is this is a a long event so uh it's got some really sweet words at the event at the end um and you'll want to play this one all right so we have you can collect the toys you paint the dolls the painting dolls is fun it's the one that i'm really bad at but you get literally a paint gun and you have all of these unpainted princess dolls that's pretty fun run around the infinitium and try to hit them with the paint gun and then they're a little more docile after they're painted of course my main character is not a revenant probably so oh it's taking all my health taking a revenant into the infinerarium for the very first time i am i am and i don't know how to stop that spinning stuff but i hear hammers thanks jealous all right so you have all of those things that you can do in the infinerarium there's also more on this same map that we will take a look at in just a little bit alrighty i'm going to get out of here yeah flee we won't spoil you too much but that is where the infinerarium is and how you get in there you can hop to character select to save time if you want does that work yeah oh yeah please let me out of here all right winter's day now and now you're back in dr yep um you want to look at bell choir next because you're pretty good at that you did well yesterday i did well that was the only time i'll ever do well but now that it actually counts i will i will butcher it all right well nellie's loading in and oh good lord look what you've done well nellie's loading in and getting over to the bell choir thing those of you who are new i'll run you through it a little bit it's a lot like we were kind of comparing it to guitar hero almost but with only choir bells and you stand on a stage and we give you some songs to play and you have to match up your choir bell notes with the notes coming down the line all right are we ready i'm ready to embarrass myself in front of all of you now you're gonna do well we haven't even gone to sad town yet i know wait till we go to sad town sad town will definitely be gone too you have to get that chest to strike me up the wall okay sorry no it's okay it's a personalized gift it is let's talk about those in a little bit we will all right all right so you pick a stage because there are multiple stages and then you decide follow along with me play what i play and i guess i'll play the middle part okay all right and you taught me a trick i didn't i did top down all the way back and that is the secret way to figure it out not secret it's the way that i was taught to by someone who actually knows how to get through the songs yes we can give you total credit for this all right it's gonna be so painful no you're gonna do good kill your specializations thing oh yeah jeez i know we do like to tell you how to do things all right ready all right so if you missed the note you lose health yep if you hit the note you gain health and once you are totally out of health you're done if you make it all the way through the song you win yep the note needs to line up right when it reaches that blue circle you're next to as you can see i'm not doing it very well oh that's where you go it's where the losers go [Music] do i need to embarrass myself again you don't have to obviously i'm going to avoid that but yes that is the gist of winter's day all right let's see what else do we have we have the snow snowball fight or sad town let's do snowball fight first all right i can embarrass myself after this all right so snowball fight is the pvp section of the winter's day fun you go in and every different class has special skills uh nelly switched her character to a revenant so we could take a peek at the revenant skills for snowball fight for those of you who aren't aren't new to winter's day do you think this person will go in with us he's too fun he's defined you should totally come in and play with play snowball fight with nelly all right all right i'll hang out here for a minute or two get rid of the specializations thing again and say hey hey hey hey you have specialization i just want to let you know okay now you got something to look at all right so what is the goal of this all right so this the whole goal of this activity is to be able to get the gifts in the middle and get them back to your stash okay so you're basically beating each other up for gifts which i'm kind of okay with so there's a black friday joke in there somewhere yes absolutely absolutely you know i think i'm gonna be let's see we got different classes we can do i'll be a supporter what am i doing make nice quarter okay okay i have one what are your skills uh because i know people want to see them let's see yes that was faceplate see we've got a throw snowball healing breeze icy ground ice wall snow roll and the revenant has a new one this year called vengeful snowballs invoke snowballs to circle around oh it's like the hammers yes it is amazing so let's see if we can uh and stefan's on his way in yeah he's not over well he should be here i think he's here i'm going to try to roll over him oh no he's got the gift get him ah too far away hey fun come here we want to show you something just just really forget you guys i know i got my presents i'm out of here i like the silhouette way off in the distance he is running he's ready to go he's playing the activity how should he play well he needs to quit it trying to show us let's see i've heard that this oh i did not let me do that all right okay but that's this is this is the big snowball this is my favorite favorite favorite skill no seriously because you just roll over everybody seriously i am gonna need this yes i like the revenant skills this year all right all right here he comes hey stefan what's up he still got the present he's touching you stefan stop making me look bad make snowballs happen okay hold on we do this and then we do this and so oh my goodness you've got snowball inception [Laughter] stefan i'm really sorry you can shout at me later yep he can have the present i'll let him have okay all right so that is the whole goal uh he's coming for you man how can i steal the this present yeah so what if you kill him uh yes i can pick up the oh well that didn't do much yeah but it looked neat it did look and it does does a lot just now let me show you my wall type of character i usually play oh i'm doing it i'm just gonna roll over again i can't help it it's so much fun [Laughter] i am gonna need to take my rev in there give me this present give me the present oh oh i'm gonna finish needs to be an enormous snowball falling all right so you have the present you are out yep i'm out now i'm trying to see if there's a shortcut but i don't think there is all right so this is 5v5 yes all right yes all right so that's are we good we are good all right i'll get out of here you're not embarrassing yourself you're not i am not i think that i was possibly just you know i would he let me win i'm okay all right get your thing back to your base oh i'm just going to get out of here you go back to your base it's the big present thing with the arrow in it you can't miss it you know what it's time for the train to sad town let's take the train take the train to sad town so we don't really call it sad town except me and nelly yep this is see oh winter wonderland jumping puzzle this is which some people in this room have never i played it i've never completed it either haven't you nope all right we both need to do that this year yes do it that doesn't say sad town at all no it doesn't it so this is the winter's day train to set it really is beautiful the giant looming snowman frightened me a tad but oh cool though they're holding like candies though so that makes them non-threatening they're a thousand feet tall i'm okay with that though it's like a stay puft marshmallow man and he's not scary at all he was super super scary okay all right i'm doing this ready ah all right oh i got two oh i got oh you take cold damage you do the snowflakes disappear there's evil wind that will like blow you right off of there oh yeah oh yeah there are many of obstacles in your way and i can yep see there oh no you're doing it all right one more time and then there's like a fire here so you get by the fire you lose some of your lose your pain and this is the easy part so there's like three stages to this jumping puzzle it's a very good challenge uh for those who uh all right if you get to the end though there's goodies oh yeah oh yeah yeah yeah if you you should try to be all of these activities multiple times and we can go into that later yes we should we should talk about that later totally worth it all right so let's do talk for a second about winter's day gifts because they are a little different this year and so we have two new gifts this year we've got the winter's day tradable gift and the personalized gift uh they give out much of the same stuff as last year but we also have a new script mini which i probably told before i should have talked about but no no no no oh yeah yeah so you know we've got some we got a new holiday script mini um we've got some other stuff we've got new booze we've got different kind of candies in there now we've got some new recipes for food and let's take a look at the scrutiny oh yes it's here actually i'm gonna get to a better spot where i'm like okay um i have no idea how i didn't notice this before i mentioned this to you yesterday to get to the jumping puzzle entrance you have to do a tiny jumping puzzle all right so look at this little guy we start off can we just do the mini is there any way we can just get the no no it's it's with you you look lovely by the way oh thank you i'm wearing our explorer outfit winter explorer all right so that's the first mini okay you can pretty cool he's pretty cool i mean you know he's carrying a package but you may you know you can work up get a better one three packages so then the best one oh my god super super weighed down by packages but yeah he seems happy about it he is like wagon i would be if they were for me i'd be happy you will yes i quite enjoy gifts all right so how do you get this guy so by opening presents that's there in the presents this year yep so uh you trading post two i think i think okay all right you know what we'll call this a non-spoiler we don't want to spoil you yes that's exactly um so some yeah like you know we've got a couple new um achievements this year that go along with the booze and the candy so look for candy canes and eat as many as you can all right so in real life too yes all right so here's my question last year the one of the big winter's day gifts for finishing all of the achievements and doing all this stuff i got was it like tix's super gift yes and inside was you had your choice of things and i want to open mine and choose the 100 winter's day gifts wow do that and gifts are going to come pouring out but the gifts are different this year what happened yes if i had gifts from last year when you use your old gifts they will convert into new gifts okay so those hundred gifts will give you some brand new sweet gifts so if you already have gifts you're not missing out yep you won't miss anything all right uh let's see what else do we have we have the we did snowball fight we did the jumping puzzle we did the bell choir toy apocalypse uh you know what let's can we take a peek up at tix's airship real quick because you can see it from dfinity's reach oh yeah sorry come back out not enough load screens in my life oh i'm not going through there he is that is the airship speaking of terrifying it's a gigantic golem yes hovering over divinity's reach it is okay so make sure you take a peek at that because it is pretty cool all right and now we can go back into toypocalypse which is also inside the airship it is uh this one you're this is my favorite you're protecting your doliaks that have gifts and you do that by beating up toys hey there's the airship again we don't need instructions all right we have toy smashers yes so we've given you a bunch of different weapons same as last year's uh let's see what am i gonna do i will use a candy cane on them all right hope did that work no you will use nothing this is the equivalent of a hammer this is what's happening here you have your skills you gotta wait all right all right so off to the right you see your three dollar i'm sorry your five dollar health bars a lot of dollars they're hanging out in the middle now you got a lot of presents and the haywire toys want to come and frankly murder them yeah pretty much kind of sucks but you know catastrophic failure production levels critical these are some toys i don't want in my life the toys are messed up and they are coming for you all right look out for the red i gotta run around and see yeah like hordes of them will start coming out from the edges of the of the ship oh there they are now you come in and you will go in with five players total so you're not just soloing this but see you're smashing them oh jeez nelly i don't like plush griffin i don't like that one that's a problem but as you see like you know now they're beating up the doliak so i gotta kind of manage my resources yeah titan's not in such good shape no also i won't make you stop defending titan well it's kind of a lost cause now but there are bits of it's like bits of hay you can go out there yep oh oh good lord that yeah okay so you can go out there and smash some of these pieces or to get um i don't know like beautiful tree or something these things all right and now there are scraps with which you can build defenses you pick them up you run them back to the center and you start building things to help save the doliaks am i running in the totally the wrong way that's all right you were kind of you were there you were kind of close all right so what can you do with this i'm going to put it right here build a catapult or a tribute yep now we have a turbo it's nice okay get more scraps and bring it over and upgrade them until they're amazing you can build like ice walls around your dollyarts with snowballs so it's not just hey beat up toys there's also like you said manage your resources some players could be running scraps and snowballs i love that there's like it's like dirty snow there's like sticks and leaves and stuff sticking out of it all right so now you have a snow wall which you can upgrade so you survive several waves of these guys malfunctioning toys remaining you just need to get that all the way down you have one dole yuck left i would build the biggest wall on the planet around her these poor dogs yeah ooh that didn't work all right so this is absolutely one of my favorite winter's day activities yeah this is one of the many winners day traditions we've brought back are we good we are good i think we should go check out get out of there before cold just completely dies yeah because it's just making me see yeah me too poor dog all right so we are bringing back one more tradition and that is the orphan's letter from orphan lane in your mail which is adorably spelled yes um so that one's a little more complicated you've got to go and we don't have to i'm not going to make you like run through the whole okay but yes go find seymour around uh tyria and feed him yes and then you will get the collection of stuff yep um i actually just got my my winter's day known my homeland yes cool it was it took me all year i'm very happy all right so the the gist of this is that you will have as a player you'll have a letter in your mailbox from orphan lane who says please help us is it the gronk the gronk it is the stall which is kind of like a grinch but worse because it's a crawl yep and he is screwing up their winter's day and orphan lane needs you to come help her so she will kind of get you started on what to do there's a roving npc yep that you will help out we need once you get your the collection you have to go collect your ornaments and then once you get all those ornaments you get this sweet winter's day tree note for your home instance so you can go get presents every day all year round every day can be winter's day okay so you're looking sort of fabulous which i want to talk about um i know those of you who have been around for a lot of winter's days are like okay yeah the traditions are great i love traditions i need new stuff this is very important in my life so let's talk about how fabulous you look and then yes and then we will use that as a little gateway to all of the new things oh nice all right well you know i've uh this is back in the store we've got this arctic explorer arctic explorer we've got um the lights now blink i i heard they didn't blink okay so right now they don't blink right now i don't like right now with a live client we are going to if you have the wreath back piece which is available now you will notice there are some lights we will turn them on for winter's day on tuesday and they will start blinking and look awesome i'm going to get out of a snowy area so we can get do you want to talk about i do oh all right i will i will let you do it because i know no way you have to do it yeah so you can nelly mentioned this is a karma-based holiday and you can go to this vendor oh look at that and go to this vendor and buy for karma and a little bit of i think it's like three gold three gold and a bunch of bunch of karma yep you can buy a blueprint for winter's day presents that's p r e s e c spelling is hard it is yeah no i'm i'm very aware i actually spelled a bunch of the files anyway so sweet so now they're like yeah three different spellings when it comes to this awesome all right so winter's day presence is a thing that you build in game it's kind of like if you worked on night fury around halloween it's a lot like that yeah right go for it well this time in order to get uh some of the pieces you know you you actually have to beat the activities so every third time that you beat an activity you will get a piece of this collection um there'll be some other things you have to do with some you know uh sigils and other stuff that you have to put in the uh the mystic forge sorry i just totally brainstormed right there um and so yeah so once you know you do that we get a shoulder piece that basically just makes it snow you look beautiful make it rain but it makes it makes it rain it's just colder yes yep i like the santa hat too yes it's back in the store yep but so there is this is like winter's day themed gameplay how you get this shoulder piece yes i kind of love yep just get really good at those activities i will never get this because i will never beat the winter's day jumping puzzle you know what you and i are going to beat that this year now we should just get together and power it out during the night never beat the clock tower me either i have never beat winter's day jumping puzzle i'm good i can do that i can do the one in divinity's reach with the three peppermints oh that's that's about my limit yeah yeah that's that's a difficulty level we're gonna do this this year you guys ask us after winter's day mm-hmm if we beat it or not so and what are saying you're gonna have some time to do this so it's not like oh my gosh i have to get this thing in 48 hours because then winter's day is gonna be gone it's gonna be around for a while you're okay yep you know where all right we have one more thing we do you know where this would look fantastic [Laughter] i had to think of like words that matched up with nell you know i like it it works all right i'm excited about this yeah i am too i'm sorry this is really cool guildhall is looking fabulous it is looking fabulous so some of the decorations that you can add as a scrub as they scribed this year and they start off at level 75 level 75 you do not have to be a level 400 scribe that was my first question yes as somebody who's scribing for my guild i was immediately like hold on stop everything because i am going to be incredible am i going to have a terrible terrible week trying yeah um so yeah so as you see we have these like snow makers that kind of are there they make magic snow they do make magic snow hey guys snowball fights guild arena yep do it and so i decided to make our tavern a little festive and you know we've got these street lamps the street lamps street lamps oops that i'll try the lights wrapped around them are gorgeous uh piles of snow just for aesthetic reasons we got the trees winter's day trees are there gifts under them no okay so you can't put down like 500 winter's day trees yeah and run around and like scoop up a million gifts okay this what is this is my favorite this is an enormous block of ice all right turn on do it oh you turned it back up what so an ice sculpture it's the guild chat moose yeah that's not right it's a reindeer it is a reindeer we can tell ourselves though for guild chat purposes this is a moose so some of the other stuff that we have is we have uh wreaths also with lights wrapped around yes got our little snow maker the trees and what else do we have so so we have the wreath the snowmaker we have the trees and we have the ice sculpture i think that's the piles of snow yes yep and the piles of snow yep so your guild hall i
