Yeah, huge +1 to this update.
Nick has saved Winterfest! Or at least the integrity of Winterfest! Farming T1 was lame and dull.

Mid-Winterfest Update is a pleasant surprise
Agree that farming T1 was lucrative, but boring. However that is human nature, and required teamwork of a different sort to get those missions coordinated. Whatever the boundaries are, and whatever exploits are left open to capitalize on, people are going to find them. That is just part of the game too.
But fighting off Ghostwalker Stalkers in level 24 while lugging heavy red pressies is going to be interesting. I think I'll be adding the DRB to my Winterfest loadout. Teams may actually need to assign Riders to escort the wagon trains!
[Did he just suggest using teamwork in a coop game? Gasp!]

Now we are talking! Now I have something to aim for = 2k tokens xD! And nice way to balance the tiers sort of.
Also, the Humbug Hat is awesome xD Looks like it is auto-Prismatic too!

@Fehzor:
Seems a bit beneath you to laugh at other people's misery. @Lazerdog: You did have an hour warning, I believe.
Just putting this in here from the other thread - quite honestly I didn't see this thread since I generally disregard stickied threads (Funny how that works, isn't it?):
Instead of trash-talking reality, why don't we determine the best course of action?
At 6 minutes, the new maximum (Without Mercurial) should be 18 * 4, or 72 tokens per run, with a good group. It will also be easy to get at least 66 tokens.
At 8 minutes, the new maximum in T2 (without Mercurial) should be 24 * 4, or 96 tokens per run, with a good group. It will be a bit more difficult, but very possible to average 72~84 tokens per run.
At 10 minutes, the new maximum in T3 (Without Mercurial) remains 120, with the highest recorded at around 96, and the average around 70 with a very prepared group.
T2 is the new T1, folks.
EDIT: Oh, and Dear OOO Team, while I understand you are perfectly legally capable and whatever whatever to add in things as you please - I would really prefer if these new items were added in prior to this "Tier fix". I for one, will now find it much more difficult to achieve the amount of tokens necessary for these other fun items, since they were already spent on Frosty Boxes. I did not anticipate more Winterfest coming in the next few days. Thanks for reading. =)

I love it
It makes T3 more rewarding.
The Stalkers are welcome as it make it more challenging.
Also good challenge to see whos good or not :D

Correction, it makes T1/T2 less rewarding. Unless you're talking about the Humbug hat that you will likely never see...and if you do, a teammate will get the drop.
Considering it's full of Greavers and Devilites...adding Gremlins won't really make it a bunch harder. The only reason it would is that they're the only monsters that aren't weak to pierce in there. So, maybe DBB spam won't faceroll the world.

Or...
Next time - why not key the mission tier accessed to the level of gear you have equipped like is done in lockdown?
Want to farm T1 - no problem. Feel like putting on "big boy" pants and going T3 - no problem.
Everybody gets 10 minutes of token collecting for the same price of admission.
I wouldn't be adverse to seeing this done for the other prestige and danger missions.
Sometimes you want to run these with a newer guild member or friend and this keeps everything balanced.

Actually Jacobey, that's a great idea.
Though Lockdown servers are totally different than Clockworks ones I think, so I don't know how possible it is.
If it were possible, that'd be nice. But for anything other than Event-missions I'd disagree with. Sometimes you want to help a new player without having to wear unicorn poop gear, or sometimes you don't have 3* gear for those T2 missions.

Dear OOO
Hey GMs/Devs, I would like a response on this if at all possible.
It's about the scarves that came out with this patch. When you go to buy them, it says "This item cannot be dropped or traded", even though I've seen them in the AH (Please excuse the editing on that picture, someone was being very vulgar in the chat. I did not edit the rest of the image at all).
So, my question is...
Is the glitch the text, so the scarves are actually supposed to be tradeable?
Or is the glitch the fact that the scarves are tradeable? Because if it is the latter, I don't want to get one.

Sev- The description is
Sev- The description is bugged, the scarves are tradeable and will remain so.

@Nick:
Thank you very much for the response! Now I'll save up some tokens to buy one. >:D

Snowy Santy hat
Hello, I played Winterfest today and I must say IT'S EPIC.
Also I love new places in Haven and christmas atmosphere with snow and so on...
I was very sad when I realised that Taily Snowy santa hat (for 125 tokens) will expire. Maybe you should do this one which wouldn't expire after 16th January, but it will cost a lot more than original?
I don't know yet because santa hat must be weird without snow and after Christmas... =(
It's still great anyway.

Oh boy, more hats...(sarcasm)
This may be a bit belated but I was gone for at least 6 months and have come back now but I still don't see any new weapons, gear, or even balancing of existing items that has been done since the time I left, didn't even fix the gunslinger hat textures that were so lazily copied and pasted. When are you going to stop throwing visual knick-knacks at us and give some REAL stuff to work with, let alone fixing the existing ones?
