Guild Wars 2

But they can’t do Toypocalypse together? Please, do whatever it takes to fix this issue. This is something that is so much fun to do in a party with friends. Why not make it just like a dungeon? Or just like Tixx Infinirarium? We can party up for that. It’s the exact same arena.

I don’t understand the reasoning behind this decision at all…

The grinch infiltrated Anet and wanted to find a way to at least partially ruin Wintersday.

For reals though…sounds like someone screwed up and is now on vacation for the holidays and no one is willing to fix it.

Yea…it’s because they haven’t really updated the winter’s day stuff. This has been one of the few grievances that I’ve had since the game first released (special PvP-like events not allowing players to join together) that hasn’t been fully addressed. Fortunately sPvP now fully allows players to join together. Hopefully it’s a matter of time for holiday events to catch up.

Yep-saw that. Terrible response imho. The only alternative is not to play the activity.

It’s a shame. Would be extra fun with friends!

I was just going to start a thread on this but here on is; what the cat? Why the cat would this even seem like a reasonable thing to do? The whole mini game is broken as far as I’m concerned and won’t step foot in it until we can take our teammates in with us. I’m not going to jump into a game that already has 6/10 waves completed and we can’t talk to e/o via party chat and people come and go and throw stuff wherever because they themselves are going “uhh”. This needs to be fixed because this is unacceptable when we for the last two years have been able to bring in our own friends/teammates. there is no coordination within the group under the current circumstances as the lay right now and has turned this into an uninteresting bugged cluster cat of a mini game.

Next year I vote for no toyocalypse and something that actually WORKS as intended is what should be put out. If toyocalypse does not fit the current code for game stabilization purposes then a new game needs to be created that does work because this is broken and I myself will not be stepping foot into it this season.

It is a simple thing to fix. Put Toypocalypse in the “Dungeon” category instead of PvP. Put it in the “Looking for Group” menu.

There really is no valid excuse for saying “It must be this way.” This is lazy developer syndrome and a company that preaches progressive thinking in MMO’s will not be excused for this behavior.

So I’ve tried to go into it a few times now and the timer is down into the 20 minute range. the team score is up there. there is now wave counter. everything is built. And everyone on my team has 0 points and nothing is happening. this is not acceptable in any way shape or form this is a farce if you call this content. I’d rather see it simply removed. Everyone in game is asking if it’s bugged. No. It was built broken for our players anger and disappointment. I was actually enjoying everything up until I put up an lfg to plow through 50 waves and here no one can get into a decent game; let alone one that already isn’t cat completed and empty. Whoever let this slide into the game this way needs a serious talking to. If it was a team then they need to re-prioritize what they deem as quality anything because this does not fit any measure of quality.

They didn’t fix lunatic inquisition balance issues, so why would they bother fixing toypocalypse?

Then delete it from the game. it’s not a balance issue. it’s purely broken.

I still want the ability to enter any minigame activity with a party – preferably through a custom interface similar to the one in pvp. I dont care if the activities give rewards or not – I just want to have fun with my guild and friends in a nice game of kegbrawl or sanctum sprint race (or, yes, Toypocalypse).

I realize (now, after seeing the other post) that there are technical issues holding this back, but it is something that would be a fun addition to the game (and fun is all the game should be about).

Honestly at this point joining with your team isn’t the issue. when you can leave and re-join over and over and you get put in games that are already over? That’s not working content. That’s built for disaster. I would be happy if it just threw us in with anyone at this point AND we had to ready up like in pvp (since that’s what the issue is about why they made this change) and THEN the match starts. Never should anyone EVER join a game that has already begun. It builds que, waits for ready then starts; builds a new que different instance/waits for players, ready up then start and creates a new instance. people are completing their 10 waves leaving and the instance stays open still allowing and forcing people to join an empty and completed game.

And if someone leaves just like in pvp mid game then you’re sol stuck with 4/5 and it doesn’t keep throwing new people at you looking to start their own 10 waves.
