Q:
End Date for Wintersday?
Yeah no idea why this information is not available. Would be nice to know.
Yeah there’ve been a lot of complains about this Wintersday, all of which I feel are mostly just complaining.
THIS is about the only part of Wintersday I feel is worthy of having an issue with. Timelocked content with no timer is not good game design. When does it end?!
I’m fairly new to the game but it seems every event that has happened the past few months people ask the same question – when is the end date? And it takes forever for devs to respond to a simple question. I would think they would know? Other MMOs I’ve played, when they have seasonal events put it right upfront; ‘Hey this ends in 3 weeks, have fun!’ But GW2 it’s like a mystery for the first week or so and then; ‘Oh yeah this ends in a few days, hope you had fun.’
For sanity’s sake can in the future just tell players when an event ends right up front. I don’t think it’s a lot to ask for.
As an aside, I don’t want to say GW2 is stingy with rewards, but well ya are. I don’t mind some hard work in the game, but it seems you guys are expecting a lot from players just to earn a few fluff/fun items. Instead of a relaxing fun time with the event, as a player you feel pressed to grind the activities in order to earn what you want. This is compounded by not even knowing when the event ends. So how about taking just a tad bit of pressure of and let us know when things end; especially if you’re going to keep up this level of grind for some festival rewards.
Maybe we should check reddit …
