So, Santa Bomb is back? Still a lot of time to December and event won’t be before, so it’s a bit strange move by Rovio (mostly they’re giving clues about new updates week before releasing)

[Mighty Red]

I hope this time the event will have no flaws. As I remember, the Christmas event of 2014 had bugs that forced Rovio to end the event shortly after it started.

[angryde]

@mighty-red-1 That’s my recollection + was my experience too, Mighty. Fingers crossed!

[Angry Johnny]

The Christmas event of 2014 was a failure because they had redone the main mechanics of the events (mostly behind the scenes) and that was full of bugs when it was released. It was also the reason why we didn’t have any events whatsoever for a long time after that event was canceled beforehand.

This time they had time to iron out the kinks with events up to now so I doubt that it will be a catastrophe like last year.

looking forward for that event

[KillerKea]

Some of us were able to really take advantage of those bugs because you could rapidly click on the presents to make them give you 10 gifts instead of one or two now. I probably earned a few hundred stamina potions, thousands of snoutlings and a bunch of experience potions that way so last year’s event wasn’t a complete disaster.

Anybody have a feeling this is going to be another mini-map campaign with Bomb’s new class? I just have that hunch…

[GrauGeist]

I hope so! I’ve got a bunch of birds within 6k of their next level, so it’d be nice to have them go over the top in one fell swoop.

[epicMarksmen]

@partshade I do. But some of us aren’t ready for this, the period between these campaigns is short.

[Green Whacker]

I surely hope it doesn’t happen cuz I’m sure most of us will be away on trips to Christmas visits/vacations.

[GrauGeist]

The Necromancer event is happening over Thanksgiving.

I expect we’ll see Bomb’s new hat 2 weeks after that, and then another small event (Raid?) over Christmas. Note that they always schedule events on holidays, precisely because people would otherwise stop playing for those weekends.

[Ravinda Bulathgama]

What could bomb’s class possibly be?

[Anonymous]

@ravinda-bulathgama Likely Santa. It wouldn’t be the first time Rovio dressed up Bomb as Santa. :D

[Ravinda Bulathgama]

Yeah

[Angry Johnny]

Not so sure Santa would be a good idea, it seems too season specific. Sure the Witch class works in the season of Halloween but horror works all year around. Christmas theme… not so much.

[Ravinda Bulathgama]

Well. You have a point.

[DuncTK421]

I still have a stockpile of EXP and stamina potions from last years Christmas event.

[MVNLA2]

Let’s use this thread for the Christmas Event.

[Anonymous]

Guys, you can say if you noticed Christmas Event on this thread.

Guys, the countdown starts saturdays or sundays, and the event will begin next week. The event last 9-10 days. The new class will be Santa. The event contains a mini-map campaign.
So prepare your weapons for this wintered event coming :D!

[Anonymous]

See I told you guys it would be Santa :D! Can’t believe my feeling about a mini-map campaign was true as well. O.o

Bottom line is that it’s time for another class and 6k for da birdies! :D

[Anonymous]

Just thank to me @partshade :D

[Angry Johnny]

So has anyone gotten the countdown yet?

[Anonymous]

The Final Decision: The class will not be Santa, probably will be chieftain.
Probably the next week will come the event.

[Angry Johnny]

Rovio have tweeted a sneak peek of the new class for bomb in the Holiday event, and it does not look like Santa:

A new class for Bomb will be the Holiday event reward – what do you think it is? #HolidaysAreComing #AngryBirds pic.twitter.com/Vee00I2cjW
