Guild Wars 2

I wish to thank, and congratulate the GW 2 design team for their wonderful Winter Wonderland. It is beautiful, highly imaginative, and some features are very inventive in their originality in design and presentation.

You’ve done a stellar job with this. Well done, indeed.

Happy Holidays!

There is probably some merged thread for this somewhere already but I would have to agree. There was a variety of events to appeal to just about every type of gamer and the end rewards were geared so it didn’t matter if you played one thing over another to acheive your holiday title.

The creativity of some of the events and the in-game items are amazing. The graphics and designs of Tyria’s landscape also never ceases to amaze me when I see the new decorations for events the first time around and Wintersday was epic in Lion’s Arch. Also allowing players to play the one time events over and on their own time was a HUGE step forward for one time events. A lot of past mistakes were corrected from previous events and I’d say Wintersday was a HUGE success. I’ve had a blast with the content and have absolutely enjoyed it all, well I still hate jump puzzles but that’s besides the point

Happy Holidays and a huge thanks to those who made this all possible !

Well said, it’s a very nice event with a little bit for everyone!

Especially enjoyed the bell ringing! Would love to see more musical things in future events/content.

This was a very well done event. The only part I don’t like is the gamble boxes on the cash shop, and I don’t think the developers / content designers had anything to do with that. Kudos to them for a very fun Wintersday!

I agree the event was fun for what it was (with the exception of the Festive Mini pets!!! and before anyone harps on I don’t mean the toys). It was casual enough that the casual players can’t expect to cry how they didn’t get to join in and easy enough that the hard core players did it then moved on to normal game stuff.

Bell ringing was fun
Jumping Puzzle was easier than Clock Tower, so there was less hate, but more of a challenge would have been nice.
each of the 5 Days was a fun diversion
Toypocalpyse was boring however it took too long and has zero replay value. it should either take long but be worth it or be short and never played again not both IMO.

GreyFeathers.8175 the only thing I would contradict you on is that favourable threads never get merged only the criticism threads do.

I would not be surprised at all if more musical elements are brought to the game in the near future, really different play style than the rest of the game. Made me think of a class in a now shut down MMO.
