Guild Wars 2

It is quite possible they will change the reward amounts for other things too. This is a new reward system and they may reevaluate all the past rewards. If they do so, then the points will change again.

How many points does the JP contribute to the total WvW points of your server? You can buy siege off the laurel vendor in LA, does that mean LA is WvW?

As far as I can tell, the only benefit it gives is free siege from the chest. Other than that it just messes up the queue into EB when people want to get to it for a PvE achievement.

I like the suggestion to move the entrance to heart of the mists. Then make every one your enemy, including your own server. Maximum PvP for people in the puzzle.

No I’m not serious, except about moving the entrance.

However, I really don’t see how the JP is contributing to WvW. Where does it show in the points?

If it hasn’t been mentioned before, I’ll point out that most of the content for this was likely locked in before Dragon Bash launched, so before they had any feedback about it. I doubt they could have changed this one in time and done proper testing and all that. That said, I’m not a huge fan of them tying event achievements into WvW either, and hoe they leave it out of future design decisions.

That’s my guess as well.

I mean, I understand the intention of getting people in WvW. Unfortunately it draws the exact wrong kind of WvW player for getting anyone to ever want to return. These caches/kites are only making WvW less appealing.

While what you say is true, there have been enough threads complaining about wvw being required for map completion for them to have a clue that this would be unacceptable to the same group of people. And while I play wvw a lot and enjoy the pvp there, I don’t like the jp. The only time I even go there is when I KNOW a Mesmer is porting people for the siege chest.

On a different topic, they should add more ways to earn achievement points for people in wvw. I do enough pve to get them because I like both but for people who are strickly wvw, there should be away for them to get more points.

Hmmm….well, since you can play against NPCs for free that is good. However, I want a lot of mini games in the game and I want lots of people playing them to liven the game up a bit. Money gates participation.

If every new mini game introduced is going to cost money (moa race was not worth doing even once for me at the cost per race) it will limit participation in them. However SAB and crab toss and dragonball didn’t cost so perhaps they will keep some free ones in the group.

Based on what some of the NPC’s said that I talked to, I’m hoping that this moves from town to town and shows up frequently. I would love if once each month it showed up in one of the main towns.

I have enjoyed this one. I’ve already gotten 6 things completed and am over halfway through the sky crystals. (Compare that to sky pirates where I didn’t do a single achievement.) And I’ve had fun while doing them.

I know that several of us have suggested that they do something to liven up the cities. This moving from city to city would help. Although all you would have in the city is the portal to this area, still it would be a start. I’m glad the mini games are being added…I think I read this minigame is permanent? I hope it is.

Pixelpumpkin.4608:

The guides say that some of the content will be available for 2 weeks, and the rest fo 4 weeks, but I haven’t seen what’s what.

I think we should sticky the deadlines.

Agreed.

They really should have a list of:

This is available for 2 weeks from date to date.
This is available for 1 month from date to date.
This is permanent: list what is permanent.

Ordin.9047:

I dont mind achievements being tied to mini games, if people actually played (as intended) them for the achievement. But, Im kind of getting tired of loading into a mini game and being yelled at by achievement farmers, when I try to play the game the way it was intended. This has happened to me in Keg Brawl, Crab Toss, and Dragon Ball.

I don’t know why they would do that in keg brawl. It isn’t short term. In dragonball everyone was playing as intended yesterday on my server. I expect because the ones after all the achievements had completed them and now people were playing just for the fun of it. Crab toss I can understand. Those were hard to obtain achievements unless the group would game the game. I didn’t get any of those achievements but the one for just playing it.

I wish they would leave ALL the minigames and their associated achievements in game. I enjoy those.

Can you complete the over all meta without doing the jumping puzzles?

Is there any point in doing the jumping puzzles if you can’t complete all of them? In other words, is that an all or none as far as counting towards the meta achievement or does each JP count towards the 16 needed?

Is anything in this event permanent? That is, can I skip anything now because it is staying in the game?

SynfulChaot.3169:

Hit the nail on the head there, Dan. I do so love the excuses bad PvPers make for trying to legitimize their behaviour.

I love the excuses PvE’rs make to try n legitimize their behaviour. You don’t wanna PvP? Than fine don’t get the achievement but don’t complain about it.

The point is, that puzzle is not proper PvP. People who’re genuinley interested in PvP don’t go there. When it’s not filled with incentives to lure defenseless PvE players in, it’s usually empty enough to hear a pin drop. It’s just a jumping puzzle that has PvP enabled which is causing players who aren’t good enough to win PvP against regulars to offload their frustration on PvE players.

The only relation this puzzle has to wvw is the siege rewards from the chest. As far as I can tell, it is just a legitimized griefing area.

Gotejjeken.1267:

How does dulfy get access to this before it comes out?

Since she’s done much for the community and ArenaNet acknowledge her, she’s most likely invited to a test server to try it out.

Since we are sprinting through content with a short expiration date, we need detailed guides with videos and screenshots to have a prayer of completing it. Being able to discover things yourself at a slower pace does not fit with the new philosophy.

And leaving content in the game ruins it for you? How?

I’ve received no weapon tickets and 1 pet. I hope these are not going away and I hope that you will make them available for candy as I don’t care for the wings and don’t have the time to harvest 100,000 pieces of candy any way.

All of this forum discussion plus discussions with my gaming friends have led to the following conclusions:

1. Some of the content isn’t really “new”, fun, or engaging. It is kill 150 to 300 rats. Click on 50 to 150 clicky things. Or do some other repetitious thing. Those are completed in a not too long amount of time but are busy work and having new rats or clickies every two weeks or month isn’t exciting. So why do it? To complete a check off task in the achievement tab or to get a reward you want. But is it fun? I guess that depends on what you find fun. I don’t mind having those for yearly holiday quests but I really don’t want constant kill more rats and click on more clickie tasks every 2 weeks or even once a month.

2. Some of the content is fun and engaging to us. The Molten Facility dungeon, the crab toss, SAB, dragonball bash (minigames in general), the disgruntled settler farming, and the story lines and instances (Rox, Braham, others). We (my gaming friends and I) are happy that some of these “probably” will return and annoyed that others won’t return. Given that we have jobs, and some are on a “work long hours for a couple of weeks then off a few days” type job schedule, we see only frustration in our future here. We want to experience the stories.

3. Deadlines, temporary content, and most of all unique rewards coupled with temporary rng are frustrating to us. We especially don’t like temporary rewards coupled with rng based on buying chests from the gem store. One of my friends dubbed the game “Casino Wars” and quit playing it.

4. Bugs are more frustrating when the content is temporary. You already feel pressured for time and now a bug is there. With regular content you can wait it out. With temporary content it is way more noticeable and irritating.

Why am I posting this? Because my group of friends and I played GW1 for years and eagerly awaited GW2. We want to keep playing it and are hoping that it won’t change in a direction that we just won’t play. There are things I absolutely love about the game.
I love the active combat, the looks of the game, WvW, and lots of other things about the game. I just don’t like how the story content is currently being added then removed from the game. I hope that part changes.

minbariguy.7504:

My problem with Living World is not just that so much of the content generated is temporary (though I do appreciate that they are looking for more of it to be permanent now); it is that, by creating so many limited-time events, I feel as though I am being pushed to play the game on ArenaNet’s schedule rather than my own.

I hate that.

The occasional limited-time event is cool, but a continuous stream of them creates a sense of tension that, frankly, is unpleasant to me. I feel as though the game has morphed into a perpetually urgent “To Do” list.

I play games at a slow pace. If something frustrates me, I will take a break, do something else, and come back to it later. Few things spoil my gaming experience like being forced to make a choice between doing content NOW (when I may not feel like it) or missing out on it completely. I realize that some people love the Living World. That’s fine. I, however, do not. My dislike for the feeling of unnecessary urgency it creates is such that I haven’t logged in for any length of time in over a month. It has pretty much destroyed any desire I had to play.

So yeah. That’s my feedback. It’s looking like GW2 is simply not the game for me. I’ll keep checking back to see how things are shaping up, but I can’t see spending any length of time in a game that simply isn’t fun to me anymore.

Those of this that feel this way aren’t going to change our basic personality and nature. In the end, if this aspect of the game doesn’t change, it will drive us away. I guess it comes down to the fact of how many are like us and are we an important enough group of players for this to change?

I personally think that the temporary aspect is the major problem. I wouldn’t feel pressured if the events weren’t temporary. Perhaps they should change the achievements so that only permanent parts are listed. All the temporary ones are not an achievement to obtain. Then tie the rewards to the permanent parts of the additions.

The two week schedule would not, in my opinion, be too fast if the content stayed in the game. How many are really not opposed to the schedule of releasing new content, but are in fact opposed to removal of the new content?

Honestly, what bothers me most is the game is not growing in content. Any game when it is released has a fairly small amount of content. As time goes on and content is added, the game gets larger in content.

Additionally, I have never liked the aspect of temporary content in games I play, but in most it is just something that happens every now and again, such as just before the release of a new expansion or large feature. Since it isn’t the primary focus of those games, it isn’t a big deal. Now, it appears that the focus of gw2 has become temporary content. That was not the focus when the game was released.

Picture this:

The game two years from now.

1. Every two weeks new content is added. It is temporary.
2. Every two weeks new content is added. It is permanent.

A new player starts playing the game. In the first case, the game has about the same amount of things to do as it had at release. In the second case, there are two years worth of new content that was added every two weeks.

In which case is the new player less likely to run out of things to do?

Perhaps I’m missing something that is obvious. If so, please point it out to me. But I don’t see how the game grows in content overall if the content is not kept in the game.

I think we can all agree that we want more content. After all, playing a game is all about having content that you want to do. I think the difference is that some of us think they could leave the content in the game.

When I’m running with a group that stacks and stays together perfectly, we can wipe an opposing group that is double our size or more. When we don’t stack and run every which way separately, we die to much smaller groups if they are doing what we should have been doing (stacking and sticking together).

Our skills, boons, shouts, condition removers, aoe heals, and so forth work well together but we must be together for maximum benefit.

The OP summed up how I feel about it exactly.

I am achievement oriented but I am relaxed about obtaining achievements. I’m not pushed to get them immediately and frankly don’t have the time to grind things out quickly. As long as I can gain them steadily at whatever pace I want to set for myself, I’m happy.

I don’t have a problem with things in the game that I will never do or get. I doubt I will ever have a legendary weapon. I don’t have the time or desire to put in what it takes to get one. I’m OK with that. If I change my mind, and decide that I will put forth the effort it takes to get one, well they aren’t on some deadline that rules out that possibility.

I don’t object to the living story itself or to things being released monthly. I do object to it being then removed as that puts an arbitrary deadline on doing the content.

I realize that some of the the achievements can be done in a couple of hours. However, there is an entire list of achievements. How long will it take to do all the achievements? What does it take to get all the rewards? If the content and achievements and rewards were permanent, that wouldn’t be a problem.

I realize that I don’t have to do them. I realize that in real life birthdays, weddings, and other one time events happen and you have to participate in them at that time. However, this is a game, not real life. The deadlines that are put into place aren’t based on real life deadlines. They are arbitrarily chosen deadlines.

In the end, games are about what you want to do, not what you have to do. Games don’t have to be played at all. They are what you do for fun.

Well, the debate will go on and the game developers will do what they do. I will decide if what they do is compatible with what I like and either stay and enjoy the game or play less and less until I drift away.

Well, with each new temporary content release I’ve done less of it and had less interest in it. Now, I’ve just not even bothered to look at the latest. For some I’m sure this is perfect for them and they will enjoy it. For me, I’ve gone back to EQ2 and Lotro and have relegated GW2 to doing my daily and participating in WvW. The funny thing is, I didn’t participate in PvP in any other game so it isn’t that PvE bores me. In EQ2 and Lotro its all PvE for me.

I do like many things with GW2. I like the gameplay itself – how you use your weapons, how you can fight and use skills while moving, how in fact you HAVE to keep moving to survive. I like how the harvest nodes are yours alone, the loot is yours alone, and the competition for kills is much less than normal games.

However, there is much missing that would keep my interest. I like a variety of things to do and I don’t like deadlines. I don’t mind holiday content. I don’t like here today gone forever in a week or two content.

That is why I decided not to purchase Defiance. I thought the game looked interesting and it was tied to the tv show I’m watching and was on the verge of buying it when I saw that they were going to have content that you had to do each week and it would then be gone. I just don’t like that kind of game. I have enough deadlines at work, I don’t need a game that has constant deadlines. Some of you have said, but you don’t have to do the achievements! Just ignore them if they are not your cup of tea! However, that seems to be the focus of the game now. I would love to do other things but where are these other things to do that have been added? The quests and stories that have been added?

There is much I like about GW2 but I think it is becoming more of what I don’t enjoy and perhaps they will not add what draws me to the other games for a long time to come.

I want the feeling I have when I play Lotro and EQ2. The feeling that there is much to do and I have all the time in the world to do it. I like appearance armor, and houses to show off my rewards from questing, and a feeling of immersion in a game world where I learn about the history of the world and the people in it. I just feel disconnected from GW2. The personal story is over too quickly, and the people who are your friends just disappear on you. I don’t know much about most of the inhabitants in the world. It’s hard to describe what is missing I suppose but it is definitely missing. I started getting more immersed with Rox and Braham’s stories, then it was over.

I want more minigames. I want hobbies. I want housing and cool stuff. I want crafting to mean something. I played GW1 from the time they previewed it at E3. I really wanted GW2 to be as compelling and entertain me as much. Oddly GW1 didn’t have the house items. or crafting, and the appearance armor was sparse and came late in the game. But that didn’t bother me because we had the quests, the missions, FOW, UW and so many fun things to do.

The good thing is that there is no subscription so I can continue to do the daily, the monthly, and WvW. Perhaps they will add more permanent things to do that I enjoy. I really want to keep playing this game.

Honestly, I think if they left the content in the game, then it would add more and more to do in the game and the pressure to do it NOW would be gone. Right now there are two things that I don’t like. It’s temporary and it has a deadline. You could still release new content every month. Just leave it in.

My ranger was my first to get to level 80 but I find that all of my other classes are better to play with …. guardian is better in wvw and dungeons…ele is better in wvw, in dungeons, for dps, for healing, running in groups….necro is better in wvw and dungeons and overall, mesmer is better, well you get the point….haven’t played thief and warrior. I want to play my ranger but she just seems to not be as good as my others at anything, anywhere.

Can anyone tell me where the ranger is better than the other classes?

Donari.5237:

I’m still most interested in a LotRO style housing system, minus the regular rent requirement. I played Horizons for three years. They developed open-world housing in specific locations. Result? Cutthroat competition for prime lots every time a new area opened. Very bad blood between players. Urbanized sections of what had been wilderness. Huge FPS drops (GW2 might avoid that, HZ had a horrible rendering thing where no matter what wall was in your way, every object behind the wall had to render).

LotRO still had some issues, in that wanting a whole neighborhood for your guild was hard to manage as anyone could hop into the instance and buy a house while your guild was getting coordinated. Plus the rent thing meant that if you didn’t affirmatively upkeep the house, you lost it and all the decorations went into an escrow locker to be retrieved once you coughed up the gold for another house, possibly no longer with your guild.

I bet ANet will come up with something fun. That’s been their goal in everything, to get rid of the unfun parts of game features. Likely it will have ideas none of us would have thought of but once we see them we’ll be unable to imagine doing without. Still, I’d bet against open-world. There’s too many players and not enough world.

The portable door sounds -awesome-. Though then the interior of the house needs to be customizable to an even higher degree, or you might enter a noble mansion via a sewer grating …

(btw I want Caudecus Manor or something on the same scale to be my family estate. I can has?)

I prefer the EQ2 style of housing or some combination of the two. I don’t like how you lose your house if you are gone for a while in LOTRO or the limited amount of items you can place and limitations on where you can place the items. EQ2 has prestige housing you can get that doesn’t even require rent and you never lose your house. If you have one that requires rent, you just pay rent to open the house back up. Plus the decorating is amazing there. You can place items anywhere and there are many ways to obtain items. Quested, carpenter made, artisan made, purchased from the cash shop, etc. Plus the item amount in the home is much larger than in LOTRO. The only thing I like better about Lotro is that you have neighborhoods. I do love the neighborhood concept.

I would like for us to have guild neighborhood instances similar to lotro neighborhoods but with the EQ2 features.

It doesn’t matter that it was a bug. It matters that the letters sound rude to customers. They can actually change that. The words of the letters sent out aren’t chiseled in concrete never to be changed. It is surely possible to sound firm but not rude. They should think, how can this be said so that the rare innocent person won’t be offended greatly. There are many words in our language and many ways to say things. I honestly believe they can craft a response that sounds better.

Honestly, for people who didn’t do anything to get suspended/banned/punished but now don’t know what they did (like falling through a glitched floor or something), their account should be flagged with a “leave this person alone now” note so they don’t end up being repeatedly flagged erroneously.

It has been previously stated in the forums that you don’t get the 72 hour suspension on your first naming offense. Unless they have changed their policy you should be able to login and rename the character.

Hickeroar.9734:

I’ll start this thread the same way I started last week thread: By addressing each server with my thought for the week.

TC: /cry

SoS: /cry

CD: /cry

ANet: Go home, you’re drunk.

The last sentence made me laugh. However, my reaction was quite different from yours. I have enjoyed these matches. I find TC challenging but I enjoy playing against them. And CD is like seeing an old friend again. I encourage everyone to have fun out there! Never give up, never surrender, and …today is a good day to die!

(How’s that for mixing up quotes from a variety of sources?)

People have commented in threads about their displeasure about loot being subject to random acquisition through purchasing chests in the gem store.

Additionally, loot that is subject to luck from chests from mobs.

I hope that ANET is aware of the long term potential consequences. Eventually people who feel like I do will become fed up with the RNG and cash shop dependent systems and leave.

My suggestion on how the system could have been better this time is that the vendor should have also taken candy in as payment for the armor skins. As it is, you could kill mobs every day during the event and not get one ticket because it is totally and completely up to luck.

I prefer the system in WvW where you get badges and then use those to get loot. Effort equals rewards.

I did not even attempt to get the tickets for the last skins that are RNG or gem shop dependent. Now that this appears to be an established trend I’m beginning to lose interest in shallow stories with little of note to do other than hope for a ticket that has nothing to do with effort and everything to do with luck.

What I have enjoyed in the temporary or seasonal content:

-Wintersday – fun events, loot could be obtained through effort, other skins were on sale in gemstore (not RNG)
-Mad King Event – fun things to do, nice quests
-Living world – the dungeon like instance in Roxie and Braham’s quests and the quests for the two main characters, the loot reward for the achievement
- Southsun story was ok but not in depth enough, the buffs from the npc’s were a nice addition, drops were ok
- SAB – fun activity, great way of handling loot

What I haven’t enjoyed:

- RNG for loot, gemstore chests for loot, content that is temporary and looks rushed.

I enjoy the game. I think it has a solid foundation. For the first time ever I prefer PvP over PvE. Ever. WvW is just plain fun.

But I still want the cool PvE stuff. And I want my friends to not say….I’m going to go play (insert game name here) until they stop with this RNG crap. RNG is ok for the best of the best of the best. For temporary skins its just annoying.

Suggestion:
Come up with some sort of in game survey to find out what your players prefer and work on improvement. If it shows that the majority of your players prefer the gemstore chest RNG and in game RNG for those items, I’ll know I’m just not the typical player and forget about it.

Wow TC 3 weeks in a row. I’m getting kind of attached to y’all.

It isn’t working for me either.

Ask. If Gaile Gray suggests you should ask then it is not a waste of time to ask.

I suggest that you put in a support ticket and see if anything can be done. Support can look at the circumstances and make a decision. It might be that nothing can be done but it doesn’t hurt to ask just in case something can be done.

LanfearShadowflame.3189:

Although, for WvW the best option might be to just have the loot pop into your inventory directly as a ‘bagged’ item, and those bags then stack. This does a few things:
- You don’t lose loot if you die and it times out or you can’t get to it
- Stacking bags doesn’t clutter the inventory as badly
- When you’re done you can can take the time to open the bags and a$$e$$ (gosh really, dumb filter) what you got

Similar to how ToT bags or Wintersday gifts are simply added to ones inventory during the events in GW1.

This is the best idea.

I think more hologram mobs should spawn and it should be like the presents were, anyone can loot from the bodies. That way there is no KS.

I took one look at the cost of the bet and moved on. I have better things to spend my coin on. I’m a completionist and it annoys me to leave achievements undone but I’m not throwing my money away.

Quit fighting each other SoS and TC

I wish this was possible, but SoS seems to have an obsession with TC only… :-/ SoR will be pushing TC….and SoS sees an opportunity to join in the fun or something. It’s been the source of a bit of frustration in TC this week.

I don’t know how much more obvious than “TC and SoS make sure you 2v1 us so it’s an interesting week” it can get.

/shrug

I’m hoping the (usually pretty strong) weekday NA presence can give you guys a run for your money, at least in that timeslot. :-) They don’t call it Tarnished Tuesdays for nothin!

Apparently some of the people on both sides don’t understand that would be a good strategy. SoS has had the same frustration with TC this week. I’ve mostly been playing on SoS BL and to us it seems TC leaves no opportunity untaken to help SoR out there.

However, there have been some good battles fought when we have had enough people on. I’ve learned a lot from observing tactics. All in all its better than being where we were before the match-ups changed. It was no fun for CD or SBI playing against us then and I’m sure they are happy that we broke up with them. :P Just as happy as we will be to find a better match for us. Its just more fun for all involved when the matches are more even. I envy the servers that are almost in a three way tie. That’s the best type of match-up.

In addition could we filter armor by light/medium/heavy.

Thanks! more letters for 15

When someone wants to play with family members or friends in the game and they get the game for that purpose, being stuck on a different server is no good. It doesn’t matter what else you say, the simple fact is that they want to be together.

I guested one day on two different servers to find open temples for karma armor. From my experience it looks to me that you can log into another server exactly twice in 24 hours. This means you had better only want to play with your friend or family twice every 24 hours. If I’m wrong about that, please explain how you can guest back to the server.

People always talk about freedom and never mention the responsibility that comes with it. Let’s face it, self centered people want to do what ever they want to do, when they want to do it, and how they want to do it because they are the only one that matters. The rest of the world can just put up with them because no one else matters.

People have twisted the freedom of speech from the constitution to mean what they want it to mean. It in no way guarantees that you can create a toxic cesspool of society everywhere you go.

I try and keep map chat on so that I can keep up with things and often it is fine, but there are times when it gets really awful and I turn it off. I’ll ask my friends, did you see what that jerk said? Their answer, no, I never have map chat on. And I do have the filter on. People get around it and not everything is filtered.

I’m glad ANET tries to keep chat clean. If they didn’t it would continue to deteriorate.

PurebladeProductions.4875:

Don’t quite get why the chest is always marked on the map. When I first entered Southsun to do the meta event I was confused why there was a chest on the map, and even more confused when I found an invisible object in its place.

I expect that is so that people can easily find the location of the queen spawn. I assume that either the map marker will go away when living world ends or that they intend on adding these markers to all chest bosses.

There is no reason for it to not be permanent. They should keep adding mini games into the game. Please anet, just leave it in the game.

Sinbold.8723:

“We’re aware that people want new armor skins. I want new ones as well, and we’re working on things. Armor skins are much more time/resource consuming and difficult as opposed to weapons.”

How about taking skin designs from GW1? I’d love to have my elite gladiator armor again, or the Defender (or Tower) shield skin, Draconic Aegis, Emblazoned Defender, Eternal shield, or Norn shield. And these are just the Prophecies skins. I’m hoping in the future, the Fire Islands open up and we get a chance for a Magmas shield drop. There are some beautiful designs from Factions and Nightfall as well, but I’d hope those might come with a future expansion, along with Celestial and Zodiac skins, and Vabbian armor.

This. You have just one set of gw1 armor skins. You could add skins for all of the armor and weapons from gw1 to the gem store. I too am tired of the town clothes. I assume they sell and hordes of people are standing in town just to show them off. However, those of us that only bought enough to costume brawl would rather have clothes you can wear actually playing the game. Either give us activities in towns that you can wear town clothes doing or give us armor skins please. I would buy the pirate outfit for my asura and my charr IF they were armor skins.

Second, the suggestion for the tribal set to be the Southsun skin, that would be a good fix.

Third, please don’t limit the items to short term here today gone tomorrow content. It’s annoying and as I see it a waste of valuable time that could be spent on permanent items. Yes I have enjoyed the living story content but I wish more of it would be captured for long term fun.

What pirate coat?

I know that farming zergs are often frowned on but I think we need some farming events like this for those that enjoy them.

Those were ideal for socializing. You would have time between the events to wait and chat with people. It is a perfect combination of farming and socializing.

I know you can complete dungeons and gain more rewards, etc. But these were low key, relaxing, no stress, good for when you are just not wanting much of a challenge events and make a little coin farming runs.

I’d encourage you to make something like this permanent.

… and the associated achievements?

I’m asking because the Moa races will and crab toss is another mini game. Also, its the only achievements I might not be able to finish by the end of the event and wonder if I have more time to work on those.

Unfortunately, sometimes it puts in the name of someone standing nearby. It might have been someone not on your friends list.

Some great fights here. Enjoying the match up this week.

Thanks for the group the other day. It’s nice to finish that instance with someone who knows the ropes!
