Guild Wars 2

Hello ArenaNet.

Please Don’t Get me wrong here but Winter’s Day Was displeasing in some aspects.

First off let me say each event Toypocalypse, Winter Mayhem, Choir bells, And the Jumping puzzle Were all in their own great things to kill time with and have fun.

There is however A glaring problem with how you choose not to let groups play.

I know groups with Voice chat have an advantage persay and why you wont let groups do some actions together like sPvP, They can do tournaments together if they want.

But when It comes to Holiday events I want to play with my friends, i want to help my friends my guild and have fun together not separate doing the same things and talking about it in guild or voice chat.

What is the point in not playing together but doing the same thing?
Its not really fun at all if the point of your game was to let friends play together why does more than half the game split you up?

Everyone has a Voice chat, And those who don’t are not blocked from getting one, they have just as much acces to it as anyone else id challenge you to find in a group of 5-16 one person who does not know what Team speak, Ventrilo, mumble or skype are.

That’s how i see it. You had fun events, but parties and guilds and friends are told STOP Go solo from here on out.

I want to chime in, and say that I am disappointed too with this. I tried Toypocalipse early this afternoon and loved it. But when I tried to enter with my girlfriend, we were separated (we were already in party). Actually, after some tries, we never ended up in the same group. So we just ended up doing something else (exploring lower lvl areas can net you more gifts than doing events). The event can be a blast, but there’s no point in doing it if I can’t enter with my friends. Besides, Toypocalipse is a tower defense game, and a hard one at that. Extremely difficult to win, and let alone win it with 5 dolyaks alive.

TL;DR: No point in running Toypocalipse without your friends.

(Edit: Forgot a point to mention. Grammar.)

This is a Solid point. Our guild started out with 100 members and now we are down to around 20 just cause most want things that a group oriented yet all we see is solo solo solo. I don’t really feel the MMO part of this game since most of the time I’m spent either soloing or having to be with random people. Love the game just sucks all my friends are going to other games cause there isn’t much group stuff. The Mad kings labyrinth map was awesome. We loved going down in it as a big group and have a blast running around it for hours. I thought wintersday would be a blast if they had something like this but the only group event we get is the 5 paths of the dungeon that doesn’t even give good rewards after your first time through. The more this game becomes a solo aspect the more people i see leaving just sucks the more i think about it.

Agreed in fact the same story, my gf and me can’t go in together.

And how is it your going to save all 5 dollyaks without some kind of team orginization it does not even have to involve guild friends of voice chat, but some kind of plan is needed to win.
