Guild Wars 2

Hey all and Happy Wintersday!
The main reason I’m adding this post is because of the quick join on events during festivals. As a guild leader, doing events as a group is really great and we enjoy working as a team to accomplish something. However, in festivals I’ve noticed it can be quite frustrating when we want to do something as a group but don’t have the option. Example: this Wintersday we wanted to play Toypocalyse as a team only to find out we weren’t able to enter as a group Does anyone know if there is a way?
Festivals in GW2 has always been a highlight and I can’t complain about the content other then this problem. Keep the festivals rolling!

I’ll tell you a secret. There is actually a way this time. You all add others as a friends, create party, all join in toypocalypse and open friend page, right click your friend and click “join your friend in pvp” Sometimes this sends you to same map as your friend, most time it doesn’t.

You spam each others names to join until someone finds empty map or map which has enough space for all and ask others to try to join you. Eventually you all are in same map but this might take 30 minutes and more even with TS and its mostly luck. If event runs few rounds this probably doesn’t work cause systems doesnt seem to like putting people in maps half complete. But if map event is done/ it fails you are still in same team in next one.

If you got 3/5 people in same map but random joiners gets in first you can try to explain what you are trying to do here and ask in polite way them to join in another map. It’s worth of trouble if you really want to play as a team but it will take lots and lots of time with more people.

Thanks for the reply. Have tried this with the snowball mayhem and it didn’t work but will try again with toypocalypse. Takes a while but I guess there’s nothing else we can do.
