Guild Wars 2

I… don’t… understand…

There is this great (so much fun) Snowball-Minigame in there now – it get’s removed after the holidays.
There was this fun DOTA-style minigame in at Halloween – it got removed after the holidays.
(and so on, there were quite a few of those in there, included activities like the hunger-royale)

and now we only have one (?) constant minigame in the game: Keg Brawl. It’s fun. But why is it so alone? I can see that Anet want’s to bring content first for the lv.80 crowd, but why remove all those fun minigames? They could keep it at least until the other 29 minigames appear (looking forward since the blogpost on the minigames a long time ago). As Colin said: I want to play to have fun.

Sometimes I want to make a break of vertical and horizontal progression – to bring some variety in there. The thing is: it’s already a finished bugfree design but it get’s removed from the game after a short period of time.

It’s clear that those minigames from the holiday-events stand as content for those events, but you could change the looks and sell it just as a new activity with nice achievements (and leaderbords in the future). Don’t throw such great designs over board Anet. Those deserve to be played longer than a short period. The DOTA-like Halloween Map could have had a new Wintersday-Map too.

Is it perhaps a problem of having “too much content/game-modes” in the game and thus splitting the community?

good idea, in with the new – preserve the old

I totally, totally agree

Keep the stuff you add for holiday events in, or make them return periodically like 2 weeks every month, different events at different times so there’s always various mini-games going.

Please refer to the thread in my sig if you want to know more!

But then those activities wouldn’t be special anymore when holiday come back.

They should develop more permanent activities, but I think holiday one need to stay exclusive to holiday.

yeah, but until those other 29 are in the game, we still only have 1 when no holiday is happening. Halloween and Wintersday was very close together, what’s the next one?
