Can we get any hints to what drops ? Dont really want to farm to find out its a wreath that i already own
This thread is getting toxic and im hoping to slip something in before it gets locked.
First of all, it is clear that last years grotto was incorrectly host-able without having to spawn a portal. It was supposed to be 50 platinum for 1 elixer that has a chance at spawning portal in the winter village or toy factory. The fact that people hosted it was not an "exploit" or a way around buying the elixer. It was hostable so people hosted it.
This year, possibly unaware that grotto was accessible for 2 plat last year, sts cut the 50 plat lix in half, maybe thinking that the players would be greatful for the break in price. In my opinion 25 platinum is too much this year for items that were obtainable for 2 plat last year (incident or not). If grotto was exclusively 50 platinum last year, these items would be much more valueable and crown of frost would not be 5k in cs all the time. However keeping the 25 platinum price this year could make people realize it wont be so easy to get these items in the future and price could go up?
Accidents happen and blame gets put on the people in charge, even if their intentions were good. My question is what is to be done about it? Keep it how it is? Lower elixer cost? Group grotto with 2 plat lix? It doesnt matter to me which, i would just like to clear up some of the confusion.
The only time i was disappointed this winter is when i realized village and toy factory bosses most likely dont drop anything. This saddens me as i love all the multi-colored wreaths they come up with and was looking forward to farming them all day long! It was what made winter event fun for the ones who dont have 25 plat to spend per drop.
Thanks for reading, kinda lengthy.

Yeah at this point I’ve spent close to 500 plat with absolutely nothing to show for it but old worthless vanities. I’ll finish up the elixir that I’m on then I’m done with this event unless something changes
New red starry A+, although the entry fee is a bit high in comparison to the low drop rate
Would you consider some changes in the Winter Festival Event to make it more active and enjoyable, and result in more plat purchased?
1. Map 1: Winter Village: Please increase the drop rates of items as it was previous years. It was very enjoyable to farm for 4 hours and see the rewards of our hard work. Now unfortunately we have no loot at all.
2. Map 2: Toy Factory: Please ensure a drop each time you kill the boss. In the past when farming this map you where guaranteed a drop and you lost access to the Winter Festival maps. Forcing you to pay another two (2) plat to reenter and farm again. This year you can farm this map for up to 4 hours with no luck of drops at all.
3. Map 4: The Gift Grotto: Please eliminate last years drops from the loot table. People pay plat to farm this map for new items, we want the 2017 vanities. This will make more people farm for items desired and not feel disheartened to pay hundreds of plat only to loot last year items.
4. Plat Xmas vanity packs and Class item packs: Last year the plat packs had new and older Xmas vanities, and older weapons like the peppermint pounder, snow bow and candy cane.
Again thank you for your efforts for this Winter Festival Event this year Cino. We do appreciate your hard work.

Ive just went through my 2nd elixir and still nothing.
Can we please get some insight on the drop rate ?
I understand you are the one who coded it but i dont want to waste anymore time on this event to find out you have made a mistake (we all do at time and nothing is wrong with that.)
We are thankful for this event us hardcore players are. Just all the event you have done in the past has been amazing for the amount of "worker" that is involed. And this one is just yeah...
Finally remembered my password and can post lol...2 things I wanted to mention. The rescue 907 elf quest will not let me rescue elves. Also, I've done about 550 runs in village and toy factory...I'm at the end of my second elixir, and I haven't seen them drop anything at all. Is the drop rate THAT low, or is it possibly bugged like my elf quest?
I have the same problem, it happened when i hosted the winter village and then went straight for quest. However on my other characters, doing the town crier quest and then talking to dash r to get to village, it did work. Thats all i know and ive done it through dash r ever since and it has worked every time

Do you have the 2016 Winter Festival quest still active on your toon?
I'll be doing an update to crank up the drop rates for Winter zones today also.
Everyone needs to calm it down a bit and accept it. from what I've read -- Last year, the 2 Plat "Grotto" was an exploit and wasn't intended. Cinco originally planned it to be 50 Plat last year hence the reason he stated that this year it's gonna be half off. 25 Plat. Now, since people don't like the new vanities, you're not forced to pay for the event. It says in the elixir that it removes itself if a vanity dropped from "Killjoy" is picked up. Just simply don't pick it up and continue farming. With ONE Xmas Portal Elixir, I've made 600k and gained 2 levels. imo that isn't a horrible thing. Just be appreciative of what is given to us.
Side note: From this recent update, Cinco has increased the drop rates for Toy Factory and Winter Village. Now go at it.
