'Guild Wars 2' Says Goodbye to Wintersday Content In New Update

The world of Guild Wars 2 returns to standard with the removal of Wintersday content.

Wintersday is over, and Guild Wars 2 gold has been patched up to remove the content that seemed like a permanent fixture in the world of Tyria for close to a month. The presence of Toymaker Tixx & his presents and toys made up a immense part of the Lion's Arch experience.

With Christmas over & done with, a brand new update has been issued to remove the aforementioned content, so you will not find mysterious presents spawning in the middle of nowhere now that they are gone. Furthermore, you won't have the ability to purchase Wintersday items from the Black Lion Trading Company Gem Retail shop anymore.

Then again, ArenaNet notes that the Wintersday Merchant will remain in Lion's Arch for a while longer, so gw2 gold players will have a last chance to exchange their old socks and hats for Wintersday gifts.

The update comes with a little resolve for the Mesmer, whose Shatter capabilities now share a global 0.25 2nd recharge, to quit a number of shatter effects triggering on the same illusion. The Mesmer's Shattered Strength trait now grants 1 stack of may per illusion shattered, so the character ought to be a tiny beefier in combat.
