welp, this released early accidentally just in case this gets quoted in future, these blogs are intended to release on the weekend before the new month or the first weekend of the new month
Last year, three Guild Wars events were held almost back-to-back right during the holidays. And now, you’ve scheduled another Guild War for the New Year period, 31th December, even though you yourselves have made sure to take time off for the holidays. Are you mocking us? Why do we need three Guild Wars in a row, especially during the holiday season—a time when everyone else, just like you, wants to relax, spend time with their families, or go on vacation?
Is it just to stick to some rigid event schedule?
Why not move this “GW schedule-leveling” to a different time of year? That way, everyone would be happy.
I have never seen so many misprints in words “Holiday Vault” before… Somehow your T9 typed “Guild Wars” instead of … well, instead of anything else… But please, bring back Holiday Vault.
Everyone needs some time off to relax during the Holidays, and the schedule for Guild Wars in December is completely absurd. We need time off to spend with friends and family. Everyone should just boycott those events and just celebrate.
@Jeto, please ask them to reconsider scheduling Guild Wars during New Year’s. We are human beings too, and Guild Wars needs to be pushed back or something because there is way too much going on in December.
This is probably the one time of the year most people would celebrate something like Arena weekend. We all want an easy weekend. Some people might want to play the game but others will be too busy.
Guild wars should be pushed back and replaced with something players can enjoy without spending too much time.
True, but it’s much more skippable. Rewards are less desirable at higher levels, and I think less guilds focus on those kind of events. Does your guild require you to play faction events?
For you. Others might spend much longer. Less than faction events, but then they might skip those.
I think they’ll get criticism whenever they have events around Xmas. Better to avoid guild focused events at a time people are less likely to be able to play, and focus on solo events. But yeah, not everyone’s gonna want that.
Since I’m working 10h everyday on Xmas and also on NYE, it doesn’t matter that much which event will take place. I’ll do them anyway since I’m 2nd in charge of #3 on the Xbox leaderboards.
It’s just that GWs is the least preferred event in our guild. I was Paragon 2 GWs ago and 2nd last time with close to 5.6k and invested 5 minutes each day, but several just skipped the event completely. They prefer faction assault, cause they can decide how to spend their time. With GWs being skipped a lot anyways until battles can be done in one session like they used to, it’s probably better to leave everything as it is. That way players can still go for their individual rewards in faction assault whenever they have time. Just saying …
Problem is the Guild Wars rankings. If there are less members able to play on each day, the guild is basically guaranteed to drop. It’s mostly an issue for high ranked guilds that have worked hard to achieve their current position. Technically, the guild could just not register, but even that causes a shift in rankings.
problem with GW is that you have to play it every day. even during new years day etc.
faction takes a huge amount of time indeed, but can be done in a single day out of the three available. You can skip playing a day if you are celebrating with friends and family
