for those of u who played many other rpgs such as WoW and stuff, u may have noticed that during holidays theres special events that lets u have extra fun apart from the daily routine of 'kill mobs, find items' and 'fight other players', such as christmas event where u may find santa hats to wear on ur character, candy canes, and stuff like that
so wat if d3 (this never happened to d1 nor d2 before) introduces 'special holiday events' like every easter, u log in battle.net and it requires u to download a small (say 1mb) patch that lasts a few days and instead of fighting ordinary monsters, u fight cute little rabbits (and if more appropriate, zombie/skeletal/were rabbits) just for some extra fun? of course the drop rate and exp rate can be slightly higher, since purpose of holiday events is for u to enjoy the game more, and end of easter the original (or upgrade) patch kicks in and u resume to normal gaming
however im against the idea of having exclusive holiday event drops (like gayscape/runescape did), because people get disappointed if they miss out on some really cool drops and have to pay a lot (santa hats/party hats) or regret (if item is untradeable)
still, maybe exclusive consumables may be dropped like candy cane that lasts until end of xmas and adds special temporary buffs to ur character if eaten, people wont regret missing out because they'd disappear anyway, keeps the game fair dont u think :thumbsup:
Hmm, I could see maybe a "present" every christmas or so that spawns a random unique item, but definitely not candy canes or party hats or shit like that.

Predictably people are going to say it doesn't fit Diablo.
But who cares? If you have ever played wow on the holidays then you know how much fun they are.
Hell, most of my family doesn't celebrate Christmas so Blizz was the one that gave me presents =]
(I <3 Blizz)
The Holidays and special events honestly did make the game fresher and more enjoyable and is a welcomed addition by me any day.

i still think april fools you can play the archivist and when april first ends your character is unplayable, but if you save him for another year you will be able to play him.
I wouldnt mind something new for just the holiday season. Christmas made the 2 months I played WoW a lot more interesting after I got bored. Though I just had a thought, im not gonna get bored, because this is Diablo 3. So maybe in like, 15 years when the game starts to die down a bit they can add this in for some extra content.
Doesnt fit to diablo.. when thers hell out loose in the sanctuary there is no time for a human to celebrate anything
Well theres is always the possibility of taking a break in town and celebrating christmas. Although be the perfect time for them to attack. I think it would be cool if they had a Christmas quest where you had to defend a town celebrating from a demon attack.

I love the idea of decapitating fluffy pink fairies and rabbits! Just hate them soo much...!!!

on christmas everyone has to go to a major town and make sure reindeer on fire dont kidnap the children and use them as slaves in demonic reindeer games

How about Unicorns farting rainbows with bells and a Santa Hat!
I question the mental condition of these people. No seriously, this is scaring me.
And the idea here just doesn't fit Diablo, as said already. I really don't want lame looking stuff getting in the game. Be it christmas or anything else, any changes related to that will look completely lame and stupid in a game like this.
In order for Blizzard to do this they would have to make patches in a timely manner.
The whole thing about the patches is a bit awkward, I don't know where the idea comes form, but the game could very easily ship with christmas/event specifics things that are available only on specific days.
I don't know why anyone here think they -must- have Patches for this or something.

What if the date is wrong? And the same event every time would be boring. I still don't want it.

But if they do it for free (which they won't), than w/e.

At the rate they are going with 1.13, a christmas patch wouldn't come out until September.
