None of the games associate their "Winter celebrations" with Christian holidays. I've never gotten a mail or quest in any western MMO telling me to come celebrate the birth of Jesus. If you can't enjoy Chrismtas decorations just because you associate them with Christianity, I don't know what to tell ya'

I don't celebrate Christian holidays, but I do put up Christmas decorations because they look pretty. The point that you seemed to miss was that Bioware did nothing other than monetize some massively overpriced junk and then tell us to go celebrate. It's cheap and lame.

I dont know how you can pay to win against yourself but im sure someone will try and tell me. As for gamebreaker, they are a running joke between me and my mates as we try to see how bad they can say swtor is before shouting 'but hey try rift, its great, its over there'. Anyone would think gamebreaker are being sponsored to promote rift as best they can, ow wait they are.

I tried todo a drinking game for everytime they went well x amd x is bad but in rift its AMAZING, i had to stop as i couldnt see properly on the last show.

The only thing I can say about a Christmas event in this game is this.

I knew they were not having one. It was stated WAY before even beta started. So it does not bother me that there is not one.

BUT!!!!! Putting Christmas lights on a speeder is just plain wrong.
I have been called a hater for voicing my opinion. So be it. But I would rather die on my feet, then live on my knees.

That's pretty interesting since it came up like twice. Did you get drunk after two drinks? Cheap date I guess.

Twice lol, watch it again. who was it that came up with the jesus patch name, who was it that hyped the game to hell, who is it that makes a show about something they dont even play anymore. And his excuse is ow but he wants the game to be good, enough to bring him back. Ye right pull the other one cos that has bells on it.

He spent how long on an xmas mount you dont need, dont have to buy and arnt forced to use hmm.

That's not why they did nothing. They did nothing because they lack organization and direction.
All warfare is based on deception If his forces are united, separate them If you are far from the enemy, make him believe you are near A leader leads by example not by force

Aside from the speeder with lights, which of the items have any relation specifically to Christmas?

1. Orb? Nope, it's just an orb. Not specific to Christmas.

2. Holo-tree? Looks more like an Oak than an evergreen to me. Not a Christmas Tree.

3. Tinsel Bomb? Confetti and the like is used to celebrate many holidays and other things, including New Year's Eve. So, again, not specific to Christmas.

4. Robes? They are dark red. There's no white in them at all. And no Santa hat anywhere. Again, not specific to Christmas, since red isn't only a Christmas color.

5. Fireworks? Those are more of a 4th of July item than a Christmas item.

Granted, there was no Life Day event, but to say this is all Christmas stuff is just inaccurate. And you could argue that the lights on the speeder are just colored lightbulbs that have no specific connection to Christmas. There are no Christmas trees, no Santa gear, no elves, no crosses, no wreaths or poinsettas, and no reindeer. So, I ask again, which of these items bares any specific relation to Christmas?

Those guys sometimes are on point and sometimes way off... they said lowbie PVP would be broken and unplayable with the new +41 crystals..... and actually its almost no different. I have toons that have both +41 power in main and offhand not that much of a difference. I also have toons that don't have it and i cant tell the difference.

I love where this game is going and i'm enjoying it more and more.
This week I got a revan mask, diplomats chair, dominators throne, and a bunch of new weapons. I'm stoked and my toons are looking better and better with all this new gear....
