This has been bugging me for awhile and I just needed to go to the forums (which now has 100,000 members...HUZZAH!) for help. There hasn't been any Holiday Events for Factions but Nightfals gonna come out before Haloween.
De vraag is (the question is in Dutch) Is the Halloween event gonna to be exclusive to Nightfall only? Anyone who can give me a heads up will be greatly thanked.

Factions didn't get an event as blaitently based off a real world holiday like the mad king and winter's day; but it did get the Day of the Tengu and the Dragon Festival.
At the moment; no one even knows if they're going to have the Halloween event at all. So sit tight, and Anet might announce something in a few weeks.

Maybe we get a celebration island which can be accessed from any chapter. Harder to make new graphics for each chapter's main regions.

Part of the reason for no "holiday" event as there hasn't been a holiday to celebrate since Factions came out.

There has been rumors that there might not be a Halloween event planned for this year because of the release of Nightfall is very close to halloween which means Anet will be more concerned of making sure Nightfall gets released properly on OCT.27 than working on a holiday event. I really hope the rumor is false and Anet does have a Halloween event planned because imo it was the best event ever.
Vamps
hmm, and I still have all my halloween freebies from last year, too.
TheMadKingGeorge
i can asure you he will be back in tyria

I hope for a Halloween event too. Already got 1,007 decayed orr emblems saved up for it so far and plan to have at least twice that much by then.

oooh need more halloween items!

Basically Halloween was the most fun I've ever had playing gw, so i'd rather have them belay the release of Nightfall (the only reason i re-installed gw after a 3 month breather) to after Halloween than have them not do Halloween because they're too busy w/ nf.
Maria The Princess
just a tough....maby the holiday celebrations are gonna take place in the Great temple of balthazar, since its accesible for all chapters?
Kotetsu Rain
Guess I just have to keep my fingers crossed.

I'd say they won't Halloween. The items are insignificant, and no one is making much money from them. Way too close to Nighfall aswell. I think they're going to redo Christmas though. Some people are making a killing from Candy Canes.

In any case, I know Anet will be swamped with the release of Nightfall right at the same time as Halloween, but I really hope they do it. The Halloween and Wintersday events were the most fun I've ever had in the game.

and 1 week after wintersday people will be happy to get 100 gold for a candy cane.
if you dont believe that it seems everybody is stocking up tradeables so they can get thousands of candy canes they plan on selling at at least 1k each.
look at them all trying to sell their load of CC to each other with 100+ times the supply on the market
maybe 1000 times last years supply

I wont be getting Nightfall so quickly after its release ( wanna hear the reviews first ) before buying, but the Halloween event ( if being held at all this year ) would have already been finished by the time i buy Nightfall
so im really hoping if the event does take place, it will be in Factions.

I hope there is an Event I really want a pumpkin head!
Priest Of Sin
Figures my internet wasn't working last year when they gave out pumpkin heads... now my necro just looks like santa... FROM HELL!
but seriously, I wouldn't mind them laying off an event. Nightfall will be enough fun for me

I would love for this even to happen again this year. The Mad King was the most entertaining event NPC yet. But I would not be supprised if it didn't happen, since it is only a few days after Nightfalls release.
themickman
they will probably coincide the nightfall release with the halloween event. similar to the day of tengu, there will be some special event in the n00b areas of nightfall about halloween, and it will change once the holiday is over

I really hope there is the event though. At least have the same thing from last year. Even that will be good, although, since many people probably will be playing nightfall then, I can understand if they don't have the event. As long as I can play nightfall, I'm happy.
(though special events are always a bonus!
)

if they have the event there will be CC.
dont worry about the profit on them as everybody is going to get a bundle of them to get rich and then they will all be trying to sell to someone who already has them.
the few that are buying will be paying 50-100 gold max

But I sure wouldn't go farming in advance since it's awefully tedious to do it in the numbers bryann is talking about, and you never know if the collectors will be looking for different items this time around.
I will be very disappointed if they don't have a Halloween event this year. I've been looking forward to it since November!
Coridan
Its been confirmed in another post that there will be an event....no clue where to!!

I really REALLY hope they will do Halloween again. And hopefully in a big city like Lions Arch again. Make it really creepy, with the cool moon and dark sky, and zombies walking around again.
But if they celebrate it in Nightfall starters island, which is what I would do, to stimulate sales of Nightfall, then the collectors for holiday items will need new, different collectors items from elone. So don't stack up on orr emblems.
Man, 3 out of 6 of my chars have pumpkin heads. The other 3 are SOOOOO jealous of them. I need pumpkins!!! And Yule caps too hehehe.

As Gaile said yesterday: there will be an event. But she also said we shouldn't expect too much, as the crew - of course - still concentrates on GW:N until its release. She doesn't know anything about goodies, headgear or special items, but there will definately be some Helloween-stuff. I'm pretty sure it will be seen in all campaigns.
She also said that she'll ask about getting masks/hats from events for a small amount someday, as well as the option to upgrade the candy-weapons from wintersday.
