Hi everyone,

You may experience a bug where attempting to join a Wintersday activity may cause you to get kicked back to Divinity’s Reach with the error message “The world you are attempting to join is full. Please try to have your party member join you in your world. (Code=33:9:19:1761:101)”.

We are aware of this bug. We are in the process of trying to find a fix and will correct it as soon as we identify it.

You should be able to get into an activity by trying again until you are successful.

We appreciate your understanding.

Am I the only one to not see the meta achievement?

Some old wintersday achis appeared already completed and no meta achievement.

No, I can’t see a meta and the Wintersday Cheer one says there should be one there in the Festival tab (unless it is a text bug again)

edit: The “meta” referred to by the Wintersday Cheer daily is in there as “A Season of Merriment”. It’s just not static at the top of the acheevo list like traditional metas.

It’s nice that someone can look on an old bug with fondness. Thanks for sharing your holiday spirit!

I am just happy there is a work-around and that we can get where we need to get, even if it may take a few tries.

Hi,

I just asked about the meta achievement, and one of the devs said that there is no permanent achievement, but there is a daily achievement and a repeatable in the non-daily group that tracks how many daily metas you do.

Hope that helps!

Everything got transferred from the last year… Even the bugs.

Yep, found it. Edited my above post anyway, but the equivalent of the meta from dailies is called “A Season of Merriment”. For some reason I didn’t see it despite looking multiple times…

Perhaps someone threw a snowball in my eye..!

This bug is particularly galling with the bell choir instance. Twice in a row, I joined a game in the “free play” phase, waiting for it to end so I’d get into a fresh instance, only to get stuck after the error message.

I’m throwing in the towel for now.

It’s not a bug. It requires a complete redesign of the instance due to technical reasons and the potential to cause more serious bugs elsewhere.
