- No frostivus till late December. "…we’ve got a ton of stuff our Frostivus elves are furiously polishing to get ready for the new year ^([1])**"

- Cosmetic stuff they keep talking about is most likely limited cache mythical sets for Muerta, PA persona, etc. “This round of submissions also welcomes designs for Muerta, Crystal Maiden’s Conduit of the Blueheart Persona and the Exile Unveiled Phantom Assassin Persona, which are all now included in the workshop*^([2])*”

- and no arcana during frostivus patch “… we haven’t finished everything yet, and won’t this year, but we’re looking forward to releasing it in the next few months ^([1])”

- Frostivus will not be same as previous years and probably just like compendium 2023. Maybe a event if we are lucky. We could hope for previous BP arcanas or something like a swag bag as part of the patch but wouldn’t count on Valve to do it " looming large on the December calendar, and arriving with a sack stuffed to bursting with new features, new cosmetics, and some surprises ^([1])**".

With all these Realistic yet doomer take, I hope I would be proven wrong when mid December arrives.

P.S: Not all of us are complaining about the lack of cosmetics this year but rather not delivering what was promised.
