The Outfits
Jack’s Savior
This is an okay-ish outfit, I'm a bit tired of all the armour clothing that we have and I hope we get a break from them for a little while. The only part of the outfit that I like is the large axe.
Delicate Warm
This is my favorite outfit from the bunch. I love how much detailing was put on the coat, dress, and overdress. I did hate how I was unable to see the shoes I was picking because the dress was in the way and I ended up picking a pair that I didn't really like. Beemoov really needs to fix this because it was a complaint I had last time where I unable to see the outfit piece properly while I was trying to chose a color. When I saw the hair I was worried that the multi-colored portion of the hair was going to be different for all shades and that I could possibly get stuck with an ugly color, but I'm glad to see that all of the hair share the same color. The only parts of the outfit that I am iffy about is the eyes because they make it look like Guardian hasn't slept in a year. I'm also not a fan of the huge, clunky earrings.
Toy Maker
This is a nice outfit, although it is a bit too busy for me. I do really like the hair and the dress.
Cold Explorer
This outfit is nice with my favorite parts being the hair, staff, shoes, and pants.
Exploration
I'm glad that we got all the old outfits back on the map since all of the outfits were made via the mini-games, and it also allowed for me to collect some outfits that I wanted but was unable to get. The drop rates of the clothing is good, but that is to be expected because of the sheer amount on the map. The drop rates of the bait is also very high, which is good since the bait is always overpriced in the shop (and sometimes on the market). I never managed to get any food, so I'm assuming it wasn't on the map, which is disappointing. The companion drop rates is somewhat low, but the worst part is how hard it is to catch a companion, I tried to catch 8 companions and only managed to catch 2. During the Halloween event I managed to catch the companions almost every single time.
Companions
I really like the Yakadlle companion since I don't think we have a gotten a Yak companion yet and it fits well with the winter theme. I also like the look of the Gladanel as an adult, although its baby form looks a little odd.
Mini-Games
I really love the Bejeweled game (especially since I do find myself playing it every once in a while), although I did hate how every time that I got a score over 400 the game would always freeze. This is one of the major issues that I had with the event was all the glitches, like the Bejeweled game freezing, not being able to access the the rest of the event when the community goal was reached, and not being able to collect snow in exploration for two days. Beemoov should have extended the event for at least one more day especially since the exploration portion of the event is still going on until January 5, so it shouldn't be that hard to extend the event by one extra day.
Illustration
Eh, it's an okay illustration. I have not been impressed with the event illustrations for a long time now.
Overall Thoughts
I was happy with the event in the beginning, but I did get a bit disappointed with the few things. I'm disappointed that Beemoov did not address nor fix the freezing of the Bejeweled game (as far as I could tell). I'm also disappointed that Beemoov did not extend the event considering it had so many issues. I'm also disappointed with the catch rate of the companions, especially since the Halloween event had the companion catch rate to be so high. Overall I did enjoy the event, but I am disappointed that Beemoov did not fix some of the issues that plagued this event.
