Guild Wars 2

“Toypocalypse
The toys in Tixx’s workshop have gone haywire! They’re trying to take over the gigantic toymaking machine in the center of the workshop, and if they succeed, Wintersday will be ruined! Defend Tixx’s present-delivering dolyaks and the gigantic toy-making machine from waves of maniacal toys in these challenging and fun events.”

This sounded like a dungeon, the mentioning of waves of enemies on these forums made me super excited.

Look, you raised expectations for this event and now loads of people are disappointed, every friend or guildie i’ve spoken to expected something else. This event is nice for being a side activity like snowball, JP and bells, but it’s been hiped to be something else, wich it is not.

What people would have liked imo:
Waves and waves of enemies inside the airship, a chest after each wave, getting better the further you get in. Group content.

I cannot grasp how disappointing this event was for both me and my guild. While you basicly had the area and content available to make something really awesome. A total missed oppertunity. :/

It’s a cute mini game but in no way feels like a finale. But I guess they decided to kill the idea of finales because of all the people that complained about timing. This is what you get though… no huge event finale = rather simplistic content instead.

then this is the point where they need to make a choice, cause anouncing it like that and then giving this is not good

I was disappointed with this, too. It would have been more enjoyable for me if the toys I killed had dropped some loot like gifts and snowflakes and such.

Agreed. I really, really, really expected a toy invasion in Lion’s Arch for the finale. But . . . well, maybe it could still happen?

Here’s to hoping.

That doesn’t make any sense though. The problem with timing could have been solved by making the huge events repeatable. They didn’t need to dumb anything down.

exactly

I too was expecting something spectacular for this finale. I was hoping for a large dungeon run through armies of giant toys while devising strategies through wonderland traps and icy encounters. Oh well…

I found this event boring. I wound have enjoyed it a great deal more if I could enter with my friends rather than a random group of strangers, but even then it is not something that I would spend much time on.
