Well it's about time they increased something that's beneficial to us.

"Increased mat drops" Dumb
"Increased mat drops" Dumb question: does this apply to the rings too? Me sad that i haven't got one yet.

Hrm...
Does this mean that the crn and heat payout is decreased due to increased chance of mats?
We shall see.

Will the Winterfest weapons still be craftable even after the event ends? Just like how the Obsidian weapons/Kat Tribe Hoods can now be crafted as long as you obtained the materials earlier.

An interesting undocumented change: Stalkers in the final room on the first floor have been replaced with polyps.

:c
They nerfed the mission under our noses. Changes noticed:
Shadowmanes in the final room of the first depth are replaced by Polyps.
Bosses missile AoE heavily nerfed, now half the rockets fall, and it's random where they spawn. Only some will leave behind landmines.
Improved framerate in the boss room.

Can the mender still heal the battlepod?
In my elite two-knight party we got past the battlepod at the end, but the mender didn't touch it. Did the developers make the battlepod unable to be healed directly?
If so, I shall throw my confetti in the air and cheer.

@Skepticraven
If you're looking for rare drops, heat and crowns should go out the window. In winterfest, at least for me, any crowns and heat collected are simply a bonus :) From screenshots I have seen (my skills are too pitiful to make it all the way up), the payout for an entire run up Mount Krampus is so pitiful, you may as well overlook it. It's mats, rarities and snowballs you should be going for in winterfest. Cheers!

Yay, I had that problem.
Also, nice addition of the Polyps to the last room on the first level of Assault. Those were fun to deal with... #sarcasm

I'm worried, will we have to download a full patch after this reset? D:

Double-post because we ^ HAVE TO.
I hate this, I plain hate it. Another hour wasted.
I'm not java savvy, but isn't there a way to make small, specific patches? Having to re-download the whole game is... *sigh* ;_;

@Fangel
In one of my parties, a mender heal aura circle thing was somwhere at the battlepod's edge and it keep healing 276 per sec ._.

this is a real slap to the face for those of us who actually were farming the materials despite the harsh difficulty, it would have been much smarter to decrease the overall mats needed, so those of us who gathered the mats early were not punished. I am pretty upset about this. I was afraid they would do this, but kept at it because I truly believed the game makers would uphold this to really put some value in the weapons.
But unfortunately those who worked hard early were just punished.

"much smarter to decrease the overall mats needed"
And then those who already crafted the weapons would feel cheated.
"But unfortunately those who worked hard early were just punished."
Exactly the opposite happened with the Apocrea. Score is now set 1-1

Those who already crafted the weapons are cheated either way smart one. And bringing up the apocrea mission makes no sense, early farmers should not be punished. The problem is the makers made a hard mission and then took it back.
Well the mission is still hard, but those who farmed before really got cheated effort and spark-wise.
My suggestion would harm the least amount of people while still pleasing the majority by making the reskins easier to get. (Only way to save everyone is to send those who already have the reskins extra mats, but that is very hard to do/wont happen ever.)
