Great.
Well, A Santa-Cube named Imposto-Claus was there, advertising for King Krogmo Santy Hats, and a lotta snow was there. LD and BN was already available, I might add.

It was more eye candy than an actual special event like punkin.
Plus lots of steam newbs asking about where to find snowballs, never to be seen again.

Praise the sun! \o/
When it came around last time, there was snow. Lots of snow.
Imposto-clause came around and advertised the PvP modes, and Krogmo coins could be traded for temporary Santa hats a-la Dark Harvest's paper masks. Overall it didn't affect much, but the visuals and new music were a nice touch. It's a shame there weren't any permanent versions of the Santa hats though.
As for this year I'd love to see Santa hats as an accessory, instead of a proto-based costume helm. That, or permanent versions of the snowfall Santa hats.

Comments alone make this worth reading.
I hope you enjoy this year's Winter Festival.

Last year's Winterfest sucked. It was pretty much just temporary hats and a new LD map. You couldn't even do anything with Impostoclaus outside of haven. Hopefully this year they do something less disappointing.

Yeah, and T1 lockdown was a bloodbath, although most of em would just throw their snow and leave. Less scrupulous players would tell them they need to fill the bribe meter for snowballs to appear.

Whoever said that we need to bribe King Krogmo for snowballs is totally a liar.
He wants elemental bombhead masks and mini mist tanks from the bribings.
LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE!
/e casts flare on the liar's butt

Look at this thread!
Anyone else have any ideas?
Yep. We totally need Impostoclausecubes.

You guys are forgetting about
You guys are forgetting about the Explorer Pack. Best SK promo ever and possibly the cheapest accessories that ever were. Oh, and Snipe Hats.

Ahh
I'm sure they can put permanent santa hats when they release the Winterfest.

Its nothing to really get excited about. The Santy hats magically dissolve, so there isn't too much of an incentive to get them... unless you're just rolling in krogmo coins. Then you can be all cool with your hat for a week or two. I'm sure that this year there will be some kind of event or something new, though I really don't care too much if there is or not. Like I always say- more content for the "actual game" is always better than temporary events.

I remember I was one of them, now I have been playing nearly for one year :)

Frostbite disaster from my perspective
Perhaps with the new mission system more of the "steam newbs" will be retained if it is repeated this year. Last year was a complete disaster. I played a bit of T1 LD and am not at all surprised that people tossed a snowball and left. The games were filled with "Pro's" who lied to them about bribing and then proceeded to beat the crap out of them with fully heated weapons. Materials were purchased for a fraction of their value in front of the AH as players tried to gather enough crowns to play lockdown. Players stood in haven trying to figure out how to play LD and were ignored. The game mechanic for them to figure out what they needed to do was broken, and a portion of the community did everything they could think of to take advantage of them.
TL:DR
embarrassing disaster

I loved it
Snowy and I loved it. Although hopefully my last box gives me a scarf for winter...
I like winter.
I don't like "fests".
But if there's snow I could back it.
