Problem – Your responding to a very different topic. The issue that this person is mentioning he’s running into isn’t that he can’t join the dungeons or even select which one he wants to attend, rather that he can’t get glue OR stuffing that is required to make many of the rewards from this holiday event. For instance he can’t make the Endless Tonics or the Golem Toy mini pet because he is no longer being reward the mats to make them. I to have this issue and I hope Anet allows us to reliably and repeatedly acquire more of the Enchanted Stuffing and Drops of Glue so we can actually enjoy the items they put effort into making.

What doesn’t work – Black Lion is not a reasonable solution as the prices for even ONE of these items is 1 silver. Assuming you had neither Glue or Stuffing you would have to spend 1 gold only to have a CHANCE at getting ONE tonic. That is not including the other mats that you need.

Effect – This makes it very hard for casual, new, or poorer players to enjoy a casual event as they probably don’t have their pockets lined with gold. (Unless they are relatively wealthy IRL and are willing to spend it).

Possible Solution -
1 – Returning the Stuffing and Glue drops to Tixx’s dungeon completion.
2 – Make the Wintersday Gifts drop Glue or Stuffing but maybe only 1 – 5.
3 – Make the holiday vendor sell Glue and Stuffing for the all too plentiful Ugly Wool Socks/Hat/Sweater.

This IS a issue, people wouldn’t post it on the forums in mass if it wasn’t. People like to play this game, it makes sense to let them actually have fun with it not bar them from it. Have a good one guys, Happy Wintersday and Happy Holidays.

id like to give some feedback to your solutions

1. maybe but not realy. this would make wad/ glue worhless. making the endless tonics worth next to nothing and way to common.and if the reward was to low it would be to grindy.
2. there is already a small chance 25 wad/glue drop from boxes. all boxes have an equal chance of getting them. its a rare drop though. but in the end of the event the price should be alot more wellcomming to poorer people thats why i sold all of mine. and to buy it back later.
3.see 1.
I hope you understand why 1 or 3 cant be done. and the 2nd one already is in effect.

Merry Christmas!

I meant to be relatively loose on my solutions and it’s my fault for not stating so in my original post, so apologies.

For your response on 1 yes I realize it would make the items worth less but if that’s the case then simply lower the amount that drops to 100, 50, or even 25.

2, Yes it’s already in effect but that shouldn’t count, as the drop rate for them is less than 0.1%: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Giant_Wintersday_Gift/drop_rate. What I was trying to say is increase the drop rate to something more reasonable and maybe lower how many you get this way people have a much better shot at achieveing their goal without needing to spend gold.

I don’t see why 3 shouldn’t work so long as pricing for each item is made reasonably.

The holiday events aren’t meant to be a stock exchange bonanza, it is literally a time for merry making and spreading cheer. It’s hard for people to spread that cheer when they don’t have the resources to do so.

I was very dismayed to find out that once Tixx hit Lion’s Arch, that I no longer got a choice of stuffing or glue. I thought he was suppose to give you opportunties to recieve this items you missed. Very disappointed that the only way to get 250 stuffing is thru the Trading Post. Even your vendor does not have an exchange rate for those items with socks/hats/sweaters. This needs to be more customer friendly for a holiday event.

You can still run the dungeons you missed. You have to go in the Infinarium with your party and select which dungeon you want to run. That’s what I think a lot of people are not aware of. You have to enter the Infinarium in order to selct the dungeon you missed. There is a control panel in the area where you enter.

WvW isn’t pure PvP, it is their answer to world PvP. In the traditional sense world PvP is a fusion of both the PvE environment and the players for combat. They made WvW as another world to engage content in NOT simply as a battleground. That’s why they have skill points on the map, that’s why they have NPCs. It’s another world and so must be treated the same as the “PvE” world.

Giving everyone all the weapon skills does just sound lazy to me in all honesty. If you want those skills soo badly their ARE mobs (simple as a moa) that can unlock all your weapon abilities easily.

Lets just say they do unlock all your weapon skills, (people are almsot NEVER satisfied) the next step they will want is “just give me all my utilities and elite skills too, this doesn’t make sense”. After that who knows maybe they’ll be wanting armor from the beginning like SPvP.

What I don’t think people understand is WvW is a alternate way to progress your character through means of “open world PvP”. If they remove the progression in that aspect then it would just feel like another game mode, no progress, no satisfaction. It’s more fun when you earn things than when your given it by default. I both like and enjoy ANets decision in WvW.

P.S. if you don’t want to fight PvE mobs to gain your weapon skills, I have run into a TON of lone players who either haven’t unlocked their skills either OR haven’t quite gotten their bearings on the game yet and are relatively easy to take out (even with auto attacking).

Mavrx is recruiting all players of any level, class, race, nationality, and play style.

What we do – We are active in SPvP (structured player vs player), WvW (world vs world), open world, dungeons, and any other content that rolls our way. WvW is the most prominent of our activites.

Who we want – We want people who are nice to their fellow guild mates and willing to engage content with them, and in general just have fun.

What we * DON’T* want/condone – Cursing at guild mates, or rude behaviour will not be tolerated. Cursing in general is alright so long as it is not directed at a individual (cursing into the wind) even then don’t abuse it. Sometimes we get upset over things and we have to let it out, just don’t let it out at another.

Rules/requirements – Must represent the guild. Cursing is limited and NOT to be directed at others. Rude/obnoxious behaviour is not allowed. Last while not a requirement it would be nice if you were active with the guild.

How to join – Send a in game message to Xoa Wolf, if I am not online feel free to send a mail stating you would like to join and what you are interested in doing. I will read it and invite you into Mavrx as soon as possible.

Have a good ones guys, and good luck out there.

Hammer of Wisdom (Command) – Tool tip on the command ability states having a 1200 unit range, when activated the hammer will only fly about half that (roughly 600 units), often times falling short of the target. The hammer will not even try to follow up by using standard attacks on the target it will simply be destroyed (or if traited with Eternal Spirit will just return to you) wasting the commands activation.

Commands for Hammer of Wisdom and Shield of the Avenger will NOT actually cause the units to do anything (other than float there) without a target and they WON’T engage the target either, but the Command ability’s cooldown will go off. I noticed this while I tried using it against a Thief that went into stealth only to find that I wasted my cooldowns because my Spirit Weapons didn’t even make a attempt to hit it.
