"What do you like about Winterfest?" is what I'm asking...
Me? I can't wait to chuck flawed snowballs at other knights. xD

The incoming complaints that Black Kat has an unfair advantage when it comes to box hauling.
And reskins for We, the Peons.
And then there's the replenishing of Flawed Snowballs, which personally I think should be in the Supply Depot.
Guild Snow Ball Wars. Snow Balls. Frosty Gear. More chances to try to make enough cr to last until Halloween (FAT CHANCE!!!)
~{The ^_^, Frozane}~
The scarfs!
Also, the winter theme is so cozy and cute. Last year, they gave all monsters little winter hats. Even vana got a tiny wintervana hat it was so freaking adorable. Winterfest, marry me o.o
How about we curl up in front of a fire drinking hot chocolate while wearing those adorable hats? Oh, how I so hope I come across a love puppy during this event.
I love the haven music and the atmosphere! ~
Well, atleast I am getting a good hat.
Edit: ps. check out my first fanfic, Spiral knight:project retribution in treasure vault, the worst SK fanfic that has ever been written and actually lasted more than two chapters. And yes, I am a shamless self advertiser.
Winterfest 2011 was nothing special. I made a ton of money and Krogmo's off of the millions of 1time-login Steam nooblets who bombarded Tier 1 Lockdown with 'how do I throw snowball' but that's it. The santy hats were also incredibly disappointing, being only a limited time thing. I kind of wished they included permanent versions, as with the Halloween masks.
Winterfest 2012 was garbage in my opinion. The option to get prizes via Lockdown was still there, sure. And the Frosty Prize boxes were cool. But the Winterfest mission turned me off so much from doing anything. It was like trudging through molasses while being pelted by chunks of ice just to get a few puny tokens that wasn't really worth the repetitive effort.
Winterfest 2013 is hopefully going to be better. My lips are sealed on what I've found via Preview Server, but I can say it has potential to improve over last years.
Overall, I like the music and the change of scenery, and the general mood of the time. 'tis the season, after all!

You are going to FREAKING LOVE this Winterfest.
I just love the music. I uh tampered with the game files while doing some other stuff with Kongregate and standalone clients and copied the Christmas music.
And, like Bitsbee said, to trade my Hallow loot for my Winterfest loot. On a mission to collect a Hallow/Frosty set of Crescent Helms, Flak Jackets, Crests, and Wings.
Frosty Colors > Hallow Colors
I would go as far to say that some Frosty items look better than Divine.

p.s. im with Whimmy on this one, Winterfest 2011 went from nothing to Winterfest 2012 to just grinding all day.
I like that winterfest has no direct reference to anything but winter.
I also would like some accessories and/or costumes. now that I have my fire one made out of hallow stuff, it's time for ice.
The cold wintry atmosphere is cool. Then there is Impostoclause! I wish I could fight it...... But then, I wear my Hallow stuff all the time, so I'm a rebel.
Impostoclause, and gonna try again to get the scarfs that comes with the event, since I had all the tokens to get it, but didn't cash them in because the game decides to patch right after I get them.
Towing in a winter wonderland!
And now I'm a sellout.
The winter Haven theme and the snowballs. Oh, and let's not forget the smexy hats that the monsters wore. Anyone remember the Roarmulus Twins' hats?
Also, my memories of winterfest...
Winterfest 2011: Explorer Packs has just been introduced for $2.50 each. I had friends who bought so many that their elevator pass lasted until 2013. The CE price dropped to around 5700 at one point.
Winterfest 2012: Dat Humbug. I went on Humbug headhunts and got rich off those hats. I did grind the missions normally though for the scarves and for boxes. I just loved how easy it was to get a box. I remember it only took like one run per box. It was so easy to make a full Frosty set.
I joined last year around Dark Harvest, so I was only maybe a knight at Winterfest. I never really got anything good, but this year, I plan to get more outfits, to match my cake hat :3
And no one said "The same darn event from 2 years ago"? Okay...
This shall be my first Winterfest and I intend on cuddling with the snipes and throwing snowballs at everyone. :)
I don't think I was playing much at the time of the last Winterfest, were there any useful items (not decorations) that you could get during it?
So I can put on my Winter Kitty costume and purr in Haven...
Also, Guild Snowball Fights and the awesome scarfs :D
OOOH I wonder if this year they'll put little hats on the sprites like they do the creatures in the clockworks :D
Nuff said
Sell/Trade my Hallow stuff for Frosty stuff.
