Kill stuff to unlock weapons skills, most confusing thing I ever heard of. (sarcasm)

Sorry, get over it. That’s all I can tell you because that’s all they tell us.
But, I do have an alternative: If you want to do Wintersday-esque activities with your friends, do the Infinirarium over and over, or play a different game.
Ran it twice just now. It’s not broken but kind of spotty. Took three tries to find a map that would kick off.
Just a observation but it seems to depend on how many are in at start. Almost like its looking for five participants. Not sure though, could have just been coincidence.
Peace.

You and the OP are talking about two different problems. He is talking about the non-intentional bug of joining a map which has already finished the mini-game.
Alara Vesmir – Guardian
Tyr Sylvison – Warrior
Illyiah – Revenant
Tyr Sylvison – Warrior
Illyiah – Revenant
Took me 30 min to find a map with ongoing events.
The problem wasn’t lack of player as much as the whole events were over. The 10 rounds had been done, players left and the instance was still up with people ending up in there anyway. You can see from the timer that the event had passed and had been successful, the instance just didn’t vanish and kept accepting players.
If you want to see this in action, just remain in your instance to witness the continuous flow of players coming in and back out immediately.

Both are which are problems with the instance-creating/grouping system.

That forum is about parties in toypocalypse not the actual game play of killing those adorable toy part. So no their not going to fix the fact you can’t get into the same group with your party, However they’ll probably try to fix the fact that it’s not activating. If they care enough….which they may or may not knowing anet.

Gaile, a female by the way, is referring to the entire Toypocalypse instance-creation/grouping system, which encompasses all the problems Toypocalypse is having.

The question is when the dev posted that comment from the dev was the comment from the dev just about the party system or the entire system. We don’t know.
We don’t know if the devs were asked “Hey, can the party system be fixed for this year”
Or if they were asked: “Hey, there are some issues with Toypocalypse that we’ve encountered in testing. They are X, Y, and Z. Any chance on a fix this year?”
We don’t know the question asked and since the thread was specifically about the party system issue, I wouldn’t hold that statement to other glitches until someone says otherwise.
That being said, we’re just under a week away from Christmas and two weeks away from New Years. I wouldn’t hold your breath for a fix, but I wouldn’t be surprised if one did come out since the mentioned glitch in here is pretty bad.
Edit: I read the thread and I only got the feeling she was talking about how you could join with your party instead of split up. The current glitch may be a side effect of them reversing the change to stabilize the more permanent group activities (Activities and PvP). I don’t know.

This is the same problem southsun survival had for awhile. People were getting placed in instances where others were leaving and it never allowed the instance to reset.
When SS was doing this it seemed easier to work around during off-peak server hours, I don’t know how much the megaserver change affects this.
Since this thread is all over the place, I’ll go ahead and throw in my two cents:
I strongly recommend that you get online at whatever “prime time” for your server happens to be (usually around reset is a good bet, but it varies based on the location of the server’s bulk and/or average population), and get the Toypocalypse achievements done asap (and I mean, like, get them done today).
The view of wether or not a piece of content is “dead” will always be anecdotal, but I’m willing to bet that the dual frustrations of a blatant bug (finished maps not closing), and the… let’s call it questionable decision to roll back the ability to play as a party means that players are going to get what they need from Toypocalypse and then abandon it entirely.
All three of my guilds, as well as the majority of my friends, did exactly that last night (see? Anecdotal, lol!), and while it’s possible that the holiday dailies might drag us back in there, the stipulation that you only need five out of six possible festival dailies makes that fairly unlikely.
TL/DR:
1) Anet borked up toypocalypse in a way that upset a not insignificant number of people.
2) Anet’s response to this current state of affairs upset people even further.
3) Seeing how upset people are, it’s very likely that people will get their achievements and abandon Toypocalypse as quickly as they can.
4) You (and by “you” I mean everyone reading this, not just the OP) probably want to join the initial surge of Achievement hunters and also get them done asap, so you’re not stuck needing them later when practically no one will want to touch that hot mess of an event/activity.
This is, of course, just my own humble opinion based on what I’ve observed so far. You may of course feel free to heed it or disregard it as you see fit
Thanks Krestfallen, you’ve summed it up fantastically. if could give you a prize I would, and I do mean that.

On the other hand, if nobody’s doing it, there’s a better chance that you could end up with your friends.

Thanks for all the info. Gaile is male though.
I agree with Filaha; no need to rush. If less people do it, the cahnces of creating a new instance is higher and you only need 5 people. I guess in all of EU/US there will be at least 5 people at all times who want to do the activity.

That’s so strange. I could swear I read that somewhere. Guess it’s not a good idea to believe everything the internet says :/
