The Holiday Helpers have five different types of hats for trade: two
colors of Holiday Hats and three colors of Party Hats. Each hat costs
one of each type of snowball.
The two Holiday Hats (red and
green) are for your snowball-pwnage pleasure. You can only have one of
each color at any time. The colors themselves are simply to help divide
players into teams if you want. What they're really for is to make you
Festive.
New type of fedora? Please? A fedora party hat, you know... for the holidays. It could happen!
The hats and snowballs sound like a lot of fun. As always, thanks for the update, Walrus!
Snow, snowball fights, confetti hats, new Cinematic, the new QA.. what's not to like here?
Can't wait for this stuff!
Can't wait for this stuff!
Cool sounds like fun..
too bad the party hats can't turn your flag off though.. 
owellz
OHHH geez! I definitely cannot wait for this. It's going to be amazingly fun.
Is the Winter Holiday Event going to be on the QA, too? I have a
feeling people will be torn between which two sets of servers to be on.
I know we're supposed to be testing on the QA... It'd at least be nice
if it snowed.

I wonder if Walrus had the Family Guy episode "and the wiener is..." (from season 3) in mind when talking about "the winter of our discontent"... oh, well, I wish we had some cool bazooka-like weapon to throw badass snow balls like Stewie to Brian there (it's not that I'm a total FG freak, I just happened to watch this episode today... no, wait, I definitely AM a FG freak, almost as much as I am a Matrix freak)
BRING ON THE PAIIIIN!
Too bad the snow won't pile up 
I guess we'll have to roll new chars and get them all to 15 to make parties in Yuki, and throw balls there
I guess we'll have to roll new chars and get them all to 15 to make parties in Yuki, and throw balls thereROCK ON! Sweet! Yes! Awesome! YEEEHAWW!! (etc.)
sweeeeeet thanks for taking the time to crank this out for us. some of us have some days off and no fam to visit, and it will be nice to have something new to play with!
what, no ABDOMINAL snow man? lmao
Ummmmmm yeah Uhhhhhhh wellll
Guess the only thing i can say is Merry Christmas
It seems like you save the best stuff for the holidays... ^_- Why?
Anyway.. Can't wait! This is gonna be so great. And for the love of god, Join the fun Walrus!:smileyvery-happy:
Not in time for the edit
I forgot to tell you... DON'T HAVE ANY OF THE LET SHOW UP WITH A HAT ON!!!
It's gonna look like this...

..............It's a regular dev party on the forums these days and I'd like to thank everyone for welcoming them.
Wha Wha WHAT?! When is it?!
Ahhh man...it truly will be a white Christmas. Hurray for SOE, devs, admins, and...hot chocolate!
*readies the yellow snowballs*

OMGROFLMAO :smileyvery-happy:
W,
Well, it's good to see the wealth of information that has been released this week. We even have 3/4 people servicing us now. There's even another event coming. Wow. Unbelievable.
SOE's feedback is highly appreciated. Keep up the good work.
Now, let's see how the LE plays out.
Yay for Winter! I knew they could change the rain effects to snow... they can change it to hail as well guys... hehe But the snowballs were a complete surprise to me, until Walrus posted that post earlier. Nice!
It's too bad there won't be any piling up of snow. =( But that would have been to hard to implement. Just think about how the snow piles up, snow drifts and slushiness on the roads... that would've been too hard to do. But maybe next year?! =)
Good googlie mooglie that just made me one happy redpill!!! :smileyvery-happy:
It looks and sounds awesome, I can't wait for the winter holiday to begin, I'm putting these right next to my masks from halloween... and can you possibly make it able for us to either decompile the masks and hats or upload them to our Loading Area's after a while? they're taking up room in my inventory and I don't want to destroy them. finally, AGAIN, is there any more room on the LESIG for another member ideas that I want to send in an avalanche onto the dev team and see what they think of my cool ideas.
Hope you have a white christmas, and Happy Holidays.

Instead of Rain they should pour down The Snow so it is a White Christmas, and MegaCity will be filled with snow… Woahboy :smileysurprised: Happy Days:smileyhappy:
Agent Gray is going to kill everyone with snowballs.
Hmm, guess it's safe to say I did, in fact, completely miss the LESIG sign-ups so long ago...
But I think the best part about this is... Snowfall! Should make an
awesome new atmosphere in the Megacity for my Player Event named Free
Verse [/shameless plug].
Thanks devs for listening to the players about the holiday season, and
thanks for becoming more involved with the community by joining the
forums and such, great work.
Here's looking to more covered up, shrouded, and cryptic Othersides about a subject many of us are on the edge of our seats about.

Merv2 taunts Zion1
Mech1 gets ready to sneeze
Everyone holds their breath.......
Cypherite1 pulls out two FM700's
Everyone pelts Cypherite1

Yay!!! But are they covering MegaCity with snow or jest
dropping it? If they are covering the ground with snow here are some
ideas I think other players might like.
They should add emotes for the Holiday /snowangel
so we can make snow angels. Grouped Snow Angels or Solo Angels
or /snowman
to create a Snowman in the ground...
Haha... Master Snowball Thrower, here I come.

Hehe No dodge ranged can save you from the rocky snowball.:smileywink:
I'm really looking forward to this! Sounds great!
It would be even better if I could pick up one of those Holiday Helper outfits.
Now if only they reactivated the Halloween masks. Or at least made them
worth something so that they wouldn't be completely useless and taking
up inventory space...
