Guild Wars 2

Will we be able to race our friends or is going to be under the PvP mini game way of doing things where you can never play with party members/guild mates? (Wintersday snowball ctf or Wintersday defend the presents mini game or Crab toss)

In crab toss I’ve managed to play with at least 1 member of my party two times while listening to the rest of us play separately. I can understand on the one hand you don’t want to have soloer’s suddenly face a group of ‘organized’ (not the term I’d use on my group) people but on the other hand we can’t ever play competitively against each other either. Sometimes it’s fun to be able to jeer and rag on your friend as they are winning/loosing. It’s something we often comment on whenever we try to do anything that is not sPvP.

No, it’s not a racing game, it’s a betting game. You don’t become a moa and as far as I can tell, you’re not controlling the moas.

Edit: In another thread Colin said it was inspired by 9 rings in Guild Wars 1, which is purely a game of chance.
