Hi.
I was in the mood of writing some feedback to Anet, because i know Anet loooove feedback. Everything that I say is MY opinions, you cant change it. But a few of the things here have already been mentioned here on the forum so i will only mention them and then continue.
I will try and cover as much as i can and that i feel that i can give feedback on.
The dungeons:
they were good. i liked them. ALOT actually. nothing here to say other than that. ( however u might wanna use more then 3 or 4 quotes from the main character in a dungeon that you run 5 timesor so. Enough with “brain hurricanes” and “brilliant toy ideas”.)
snowball fighting:
all winters day events needs some proper snowball fighting. and this was very well done. the classes was very unique and felt really distinct from each other. the V-shaped map was a good choice for a capture-the-object game. nice map overall. However there was one minor fallback. actually two but lets start with the one.the gift respawn timer was to **** low [insert meme here]. basically 80% of my games looked like this:
Both team rushes to the gift, the team with the first scout there gets the first present.
after that points the teams takes turn in scoring the gift because the gift have a … 20 sec respawntimer? i dont know the exact time but its low. therefore the team that just scored will be 1 less at the gift respawn location therefore giving favor to the enemy team and the teams takes turns.
I cant say all games is like this but allot are and that’s why i stopped playing it. Sure I had some pretty epic moment when we took the present 1m from the collector but that was only because the one holding the gift ran the long way around <.<. anyway. quickfix: spawn gift 1 or 1.5 min into game and make the respawn like 1 min. maybe even ad a notification like " the gift will respawn in 10 seconds". Yes i know, it isn’t a super competitive game. but its a small change that would make a big difference. and I would think it to be way more fun.
guitar he..erhm the Bell Choir activity:
awesome. its a great activity. its the thing iv’e been doing the most. however i feel it is missing 2 things:
1: a “hit-the-button-here-mark”. it took me a while to get where you were supposed to press the button. and I’ve helped out a ton of ppl who didnt figure it out before they cared to ask for help.
2: a background beat. maybe there is, but i cant hear it. but there isn’t allot of harmony between me and the other two guys playing. sometimes, but not very often. this can be partly fixed with fixing the first problem
the jumping puzzle:
the jumping puzzle was good, and its up to yourself to judge if it was to easy. ( or to hard?) my opinion: it was to easy, I made it on the 4th or 5th try i think and a few of my friends made it in 4, 3 or even 2 tries.but to be honest. Anet did the right thing. but they kinda overdid it. the clocktower was dificult because it was at least 1 norn/char max size right next to you blocking your view AND it was kinda hard, I was there for 2h before completing it. but tbh i’d rather see a to easy puzzle then a to hard one, due to that its a limited time event.
gem store:
I wont comment on any prices. however i will comment on the mini-pets situation( i’m a collector)lets sum it up:
you can make 2 pets yourself from things you got from the dungeon. the other 3 you have to buy for 350gems ea. this is ok, I guess.
the only way to get the 3 (4) other pets are from the mystery box. witch costs 100/80gems ea. and then u have a CHANCE to get what you want. i mean the pets are the only reason why you would buy the box.( and possibly the hat aswell). I mean everything u get from that box you can buy from the TP for less than 5s except from the pets, they are account-bound for some reason :S. this have already been brought up on the forum so ill leave it at that. ( here is the link, https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/wintersday/Solutions-to-the-mini-pet-issue i like the 1st and the 2nd solution, the 3rd is kinda weird)
that’s pretty much it. thank you for reading if you managed to get through it all, and sorry for all gramatic / spelling wrongs i did. English is my 2nd language ( hopefully chrome helped me out some)
