Guild to the Winter Event

[Maressa]

I've created a guide to the Winter Event so that you can make sure you've collected all of the temporary powers and badges that are available.

Thank you!

 

Edit: On the ski slopes, if a player completes a particular course within the hardest time on the first try then do they get all the badges for that challenge?

I'm 99.99% sure the answer is no, from past memory of getting a harder time on the first try and having to slow down for other badges.

You do not. You only get the badge for whichever time you completed. If you don't have one of the slower time badges, for example,  you won't receive it if you complete a gold run. I confirmed this today when I got gold on the advanced course my first try* and didn't receive the silver and bronze badges as well.

 

*Don't be too impressed, I spend many hours learning that course back when the game was live.

Whoops!  Sorry,  I was impressed!  Lol!

Afterburner helps a lot. It also doesn't hurt that the game runs much more smoothly on my current PC.

Are there any zones that are "better" than others for gift hunting?

 

Edit: Independence Port seems a good candidate.  Just keep running laps until you get 200.  The maps are at the bottom of the page:

Echo: Faultline had exploration badges as of Nov 23, because I got all eight of them on one of my characters that day.

 

As for finding zones for presents, I'd take a look at the maps available at the bottom of this page as well as the maps for the PVP zones and Kallisti Whaft that Voltor posted in this thread. Visit each zone, do a /whoall to see how many people are on the map, and once you find a relatively empty map, hunt away. That's pretty much what I did.
