I myself and some of my family have really enjoyed the events in Winters day and both me and my daughter have loved exploring for presents in the world. So far we have collected one of every item you can get from the ugly items merchant and completed all the minis we could get from the Tixx event. She has run all the events many times I my self stuck to the main things to she got me to go try the snowball event. But we both are having fun trying to get a few members to log into the game when they have time throught the holiday so we all can run Tixx's stuff so they dont miss out is not so easy with family stuff happining.

It's been a pretty interesting take on the holiday, the jumping puzzle is good and although I'm terrible at it the piano game is fun. I've seen similar open world stuff before in RiFT but still it makes people go out and about looking for presents so it’s a nice addition. |

I enjoyed GW2 for what it was and got a good month of out it for money, so no bad feelings towards it here, but these continous puff pieces on it from this site while other games go uncovered are getting predictable. Break it up a bit eh plz mmorpg.com? |

I personally prefer the wintersday in the original GW.... This is far from the worst holiday thing I seen in a MMO but its nothing special either (my score is 3/5). Then again, I am not much for real world holiday events anyways. This is too much "Star wars holiday special" for my taste. If you want holidays in a fictional game they should be fictional as well and taken from the worlds lore, they should not be very similar to our own holidays. Wintersday is about toys just like Xmas been for the last 100 years but it was a very different thing in the pre industrial world. And yes, even if the Charrs have some coalplants Tyria is still pre industrial. |

That isn't fully true. You can create 2 of the dolls from doing all 5 dungeon instances. Then you can buy more materials for 2 gold to create a 3rd. The last 2 have to be bought for about 4.5€ / 4.5$ each from the cash shop. For the other dolls you have to gamble by opening cash shop boxes : 1 attempt = 1€ / 1$ Lastly the Tixx instances were so similar that it got boring after day 3. Giving Toxx a shield and some mortar fire didn't change anything about that.
Having said that I have to admit that the 3 original event activities were brilliantly done. Toypocalypse not so much.
PS: Toxx is a female character noticable by her voice and Tixx's reference: "Put her into sleep mode" *edit* NVM I could have sworn I saw a "he" reference for Toxx.
anyway: "For a few of the battles, Toxx just gets a bit crazy and the players are tasked with beating the crap out it" Either my memory is letting me down or she was the final boss of all 5 instances. |

I'm not sure if I'm having a lot of fun sometimes, but I am playing it a lot. The jumping puzzle was more frustration, but the triumphant jubilation after was very satisfying. I liked the pvp game, and Tix's Infinarium or whatever it's called...I've done quite a few runs through there to make the minis. I got the Princess doll first, of course (giggle), then the Satyr.
I have all the frames, I just need components. Probably do some more runs through later today, but there's not as many people around as I'd like. I'm on Ferguson's Crossing. It's pretty active but I would like crazy active. Keeping my eye out for a busy, busy, busy server. |

Originally posted by Terranah Tarnished Coast is a busy server. I was playing in the norn starting area and during each DE there were at least 8-12 people. I ended up doing the skill point 3 times because people kept starting it while I was standing there, so I helped them out. All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick. |

I have really enjoyed what they have right now. Tons of fun, and a surprising amount of content put together for it! Don't have much feedback (asI am very gratefull for what is there), but would love to see a bit more of the questing aspect from the first one. Maybe something similair to halloween... but i like the tixx instances as well. Leader of Knights Templar |

We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion. The great task in life is to find reality. |

If your idea of a Sandbox is open FFA Full Loot PvP, full crafted world with minimal support for anything combat then your sandbox ideas are bad! Sandbox means open world, non-linear gaming PERIOD!

My issue is more that they've had four whole articles on Wintersday. I mean, c'mon, Wintersday is a sidenote. Nothing more. I'm currently playing GW2 casually, but have zero intrest in holiday events. No matter what game it is. All these articles on a holiday event really makes GW2 come across as very stagnant. Nothing other than holiday is happening in the game atm...
Actaully, back in the last 80s or early 90s a xmas tree appeared in Dark Castle to Mac if you played it on Christmas Day. That was kinda cool, and definitely enough holiday content. |

When you have played WoW for 4-7 years, you don't need to read what they are doing this year. Same with every MMO that's been out fir years and years. GW2 is getting no more focus then a new triple A MMO should. When your current MMO does something worth taking note of, I am sure mmorpg.com will cover it.
