Jens Anderson pretty much confirmed Earth (tank) is the next planned DLC:
Seasonal stuff also brings along with it Seasonal Feats, the major reason you should give a crap about the seasonal stuff. Feats are in game achievements that boost up your stats by giving you extra skill points (every 100 feat points equals 1 skill point). Once the seasonal stuff is pulled from the server you'll have to wait till the event happens again for another chance to get these seasonal feats. Off the top of my head there's 6 feats for this event that equal to 75 feat points. There's one for spotting Larfleeze on 12 different days (He spawns at all these locations), one for doing the quest Hal gives you 15 times (days since its a daily), one for collecting the full Holiday Elf style available at the seasonal vending machine next to Hal, one for collecting the Naughty and the Nice collections (they randomly drop when you pickup a regular collection [the yellow question marks] in the cities, drop rate is kinda low for them), one for throwing 50 Snowballs (whenever there's an item that isn't tied to the main seasonal quest, it's usually a boss drop. you can get t from the regular lv 1 -30 instance boss, challenge mode bosses, duo bosses, and the last boss in a raid/alert), and one for completing all those feats.
There's also usually one item available at the vendor that isn't tied to any feats but usually has some good stats. It's been trinkets in the past, but this one has rings instead. This event is the first to use the Combat Rating to lock away vendor items. There's 4 sets of rings available from the vending machine, the higher your combat rating is the more rings you'll see available to you. You need a CR of ~50 to see the raid level rings the vending machine sells.
Hope that covers everything.
The game absolutely sucks at explaining basic game mechanics. It just throws stuff at you and expects you to already know it. Seasonal stuff for example is usually a daily quest and a vendor. You can only do it once a day and can only use the seasonal tokens with that vending machine. Every day after reset (Midnight PST) you can go back to the quest giver (usually he's in the Monitor Womb for Heroes/Broker for Villains) to get the quest again for another set of holiday tokens. Make sure you clear the quest off your journal before reset or else it'll count as you completing it for the new day.Where do you guys go to get detailed info concerning updates? For example, I logged in, saw the "Winter Plunderland" quest, selected it, found Hal, retrieved the gifts, got the holly, and that was it.
Hal didn't give me any further direction. He would only say "seasons greetings". The quest seemed to be a one off as it didn't break out into some kind of quest line. I had holly but no clue as to what it did nor why I should care. I had no other holiday themed quests in my journal. I was lost. After a bit of googling, I've found other folks with the same questions in comment sections/forum posts/etc and others had answered their questions. What are the odds noobs like me are going to instantly know to fly up next to a vending machine by Hal to spend our holly?
Is there a single place where everything in this holiday update is laid out in detail so that as a noob I'm not so lost?
Or maybe I'm just an idiot, a somewhat frustrated idiot.
