[b][i]HOLIDAY FESTIVE IDEAS![/i][/b] [b]HALLOWEEN[/b] -custom holiday ghost shells such as pumpkins, ghost cloak, vampire cape, ect. -Holiday emblems such as jack-o-lanterns, ghosts, bats, witch hat/witch on broomstick, etc. -possible Halloween shaders with Halloween colour themes such as Black and Orange, Purple and Green, etc. -character class items! (Hunter Cloaks, Titan Marks, and Warlock Bonds) There can be holiday themed class items! For Hunters; evil jack-o-lantern cloak, ghoul cloak, [b]vampire cloak[/b], skeleton cloak etc. For Titans; Pumpkin mark, ghoul/ghost mark, monster mark, skull mark, etc. For Warlocks; Pumpkin bond, tombstone bond, skull bond, bats bond, etc. [i]Now for the aesthetic looks of the tower:[/i] Possible little details such as leaves falling off the tree or leaves blowing in the wind. (Another idea to have the tree decorated :D) Pumpkins sitting near the steps, pumpkins near vendors, etc. Any other ideas are welcome. [b]CHRISTMAS[/b] -custom holiday ghost shells such as reindeer antlers, Santa hat, Ugly Christmas sweater shell, etc. -Holiday emblems such as Santa clause, Reindeer, Snowman, Christmas Tree, etc. -Christmas shaders! Of course having colour themes such as red and white, red and green, and other possibilities that relate to Christmas colours. -character class items! Christmas themes class items for each. For ex: Hunters accessories; Snowman cloak, Santa Clause cloak, Christmas wreath cloak, etc. Titan accessories; Christmas tree mark, The Star mark (debatable because of religion issues), Rudolph mark, etc. Warlock accessories: Santa bond, Christmas Wreath bond, Christmas present bond, etc. [i]Again, for looks in the tower:[/i] Animations of snow falling during certain times when you're at the tower. Christmas decorations can be put on the tree and presents underneath! Possibly holiday themed music playing softly in the background. A possible Easter egg that you activate to see Santa clause fly through the sky! Again, any other ideas for this are welcome. [b]NEW YEARS[/b] Because New Years is a short holiday, there can be at least a New Year's Eve event in the tower. Just a thought, but other ideas are welcome. [b]I apologize for such a long comment, but I think this is good for others to take a look and agree or disagree, or possibly add opinions of their own :)[/b]

Everybody keeps complaining about offending people based on their real life religions. Guild Wars fixed this by creating a winter holiday called Wintersday that incorporated all of the secular representations of the Christmas season, ie presents, snow and snowball fights, candy canes etc. Bungie could do something similar and call it Light's Day in which the guardians celebrate living through another year fighting against the Darkness and decorate the tree in the tower with lights to represent the Light with which the guardians fight the encroaching Darkness. This is one of the wonderful parts about creating a world like Bungie has done. This way you can stil celebrate the holidays and not offend anyone by excluding their beliefs.

Agreed! The tree is a pagan celebration. If anyone is getting offended for religious reasons they need to learn that Christmas trees have nothing to do with actually celebrating Christ

I say make it snow instead to avoid any religious feuds or whatever.

I think it would be fun, but on the other hand adding whimsical things to a game that is somewhat serious just makes the game feel.. Cheap? I don't know how to describe how it makes me feel.. It just feels out of place.

I'd rather have a resturant in the tower. A guardian has to eat.
