LIMITED-TIME CONTENT Meet by the Mistletoe šŸ’‹

Discussion in 'Events' started by [ATA]Marceline, Dec 10, 2025.

  1. was this supposed to be ā€œA Bridgerton Christmasā€ šŸ’€
     
  2. I’m into the main story avis and that’s it. There’s like 3 pieces of furni I like and would use. I’m confused on why we are putting a bookshelf in front of a window though? Sometimes the placement choices get to me. The main story stats aren’t bad, hopefully the side story stats are good too.

    I haven’t done much of the ad boosters and honestly I forget that they are there. My eyes just go right past it. The new drop boost sounds nice though. I’m too lazy to do math right now for the invites and p/potd drops so I’m hoping it’s good too.
     
  3. I like the ad for party drop boosts!
     
  4. still 5ever sad at the box layout being changed to this constant šŸ’”
     
  5. I will say in terms of themes this is a step backwards compared to last years steampunk-mas theme which felt fresh and interesting.
     
  6. The drop boost a great addition though.
     
  7. Worst Christmas ANYTHING after 13 years of playing this game.
     
  8. A quick reminder that hunt themes are decided through the surveys, and this hunt was one of the themes shown in the survey. Please vote in it because it really does matter! Most if not everything for the past year or two were decided through the surveys.
     
  9. My sentiments, exactly.

    It would've better placed at the head of the chaise longue ; with the framed cameo replaced with either a wreath or a be-ribboned mistletoe...

    That diminutive Christmas tree, as well, looks rather depressing to me, than festive. This is even more dismally noticeable, when you consider that the "Holiday Hibernation" only had that beautiful tree as the special 999-EC item; while, ā€A Dreamy Dusk in Decemberā€ had a potted shrub(?). True,
    not everyone has, nor puts out, a tree at this time of the year. Nevertheless, I had been hoping that there would be at least a decent one; something which would be easier (
    and, predominantly, more affordable) to attain (i.e.: via Lite Box drops, trades, and the like)...

    The rest of the furniture are alright, I suppose. Albeit, I'm quite partial to that chaise longue ; and would incorporate it with the other yuletide dorm items I already own.


    Meanwhile, on the topic of the avatars, I have two which I very much fancy: The one on the centre right (the Leaderboard avatar?) , as well as the female one (second to the last, far left). To me, they're reminiscent of both the old European (mainly, Germanic) Christmas times, as well as "The Nutcracker" -- particularly since the latter avatar (more so, its VIP variant) reminds me so much of Clara Stahlbaum...

    Generally-speaking, (from my point of view, at least) the avatars seem to lack a more cohesive theme. Though, they are well-drawn.


    I'm quite torn about how I feel about this event; as I was so looking forward to it...

    Do I hate it? Not at all.

    Do I love it? I want to.

    Does it inspire to me thoughts of merry-making and yuletide cheer? Not really, either.

    It is alright, to say the least.

    However, considering it's meant to be timed for such a meaningful and anticipated holiday for a lot of us players: Is "alright" truly enough to give to the community which has supported the game, all these years?

    Something to ponder on...
     
  10. Yes , you are totally correct. Similarly in September 2025 it was for Valentine, Mardis Gras, Saint-Patrick Day and Wedding clothing.

    In November 2025, it was for a few hunts ideas and there’s always a last section for you to write ideas and suggestions that we include details.

  11. I love your point of view!

    Would you say for a hunt furniture set or avatars clothings, it should retain the green or red ?

    A few suggestions as ā€œChristmas huntā€ was given on the second page of this thread like ā€œKrampus , Ugly sweater and other detailsā€, do you think that could feel innovative or interesting? šŸ¤”


    On the other hand, I feel that since it’s less extravagant, people can take a break for real-life and they aren’t missing out either on the game nor for their real life experience.

  15. Thank you, darling, and likewise! 🄰🫶

    I actually think those suggestions (" Krumpus" and "Ugly Sweater", in particular) are BRILLIANT!

    Since ATA already tends to splice the holidays into multiple themes, I believe incorporating those two concepts would not only be feasible, but oh, so, refreshing, too!

    We could have such unique and/or contemporary themes precede a more traditional hunt, later on. That latter one could, then, revert to the more classic elements (including, but not limited to, the red/green colourways--both of which, I love to see on Christmas-themed designs!). I reckon that would be a win for all of us, wouldn't it?

    I concur that, having a more laid-back event, or two--specially those right after Black Friday, and just before Christmas time--would give us all a much-needed breather.

    I think that, if this were the case, perhaps our collective eagerness to celebrate the holiday would be more renewed and re-invigorated! ā˜ŗļø
     
  16. Me waiting to see what the lb will be just to see how impulsive some players are šŸ˜‚šŸ˜­

  17. Boy am I happy I'm perm deleting all my accounts with all the shit that's coming out
     
  18. theres something off abt this hunt!
    you can’t match classic avis (which honestly most of them feel like wearing cheap garment with fake classic postures) with a dorm that looks like a basement!
    neither avis nor the dorm convey the aristocratic and classic vibe if thats what you’ve aimed for.
    the color pallet is off too considering it shud be xmas-y!
