Confirmed: Halloween Event!
Kook~NBK~
Doing my happy dance now!
I for one am hoping for a central location *coughbattleislandscough* & Witches Hats would be the bomb.

Battle Isle isn't really big enough..compare LA to it and then think how many districts there was last Halloween..

Unless they do stick with a formula of: 2 events = 1 campaign; by the time they hit the fourth campaign I wonder what ideas for the event’s they will have (Saint Patrick's Day anyone)? However at least they are keeping their options open, so who knows.

Lets just hope it's not gonna be in Elona.
It's supposed to happen few days after Nightfall is gonna be released, and Factions appeared on stores here like 1-2 weeks after it was released.

If anything, I'd like to see some new event hats. Pumpkin crowns are cool, but let's see some Witches hats, some Skull hates, some zombie hats, stuff like that. Maybe multiple quests so we can choose which hat to get (or all of them)?
Evilsod
Spiked Eggnog all the way!

Spiked Eggnog on Halloween!? hehe no ty, the ones from Wintersday was enough. Though i found them verry funny

Anet won't do the halloween event in Elona, because its a brand new area, and all the players won't get the chance to join in on the fun. Plus, I'm not running out to the store 3 days before halloween like a nerd, so I can rush in and play the halloween event lol. Even though it would make more money for Anet. **coughsolame**
Battle islands for the event sounds cool, but I think the event is Tyrian only, and will stay that way.
Nadasee
I sure hope not to.
Allthough i have Pre-Orderd Nightfall i want time to explore it in my own rate instead of rushing to the town were the event will be. If that's the case.
I stay with my previous statement:
"Not sure if it will be in Nightfall, or even fit in, since to my knowlage they do, just like Cantha have a different season calander ect. Just like Cantha has "The Dragon festival" and "Day of the Tengu" While Tyrians has "Halloween" and "Wintersday". So i'm really hoping for something new for Nightfall instead of having Halloween there to."
"I hope it will be the same this year in Tyria (Prophecies), as a true prophecies fan that i am. Yet i know that thoes who dosn't own Prophecies will rage over it in that case, so i prefere a common gathering place for all chapters to join in on the celebration. Like a haunted island!"

*does the song and dance of wootness* I'm so glad! I missed Halloween last year, and even if it's just a hat that I get this year, I'll be stoked!

That would rock Kill Gwen and her trio of evil base defenders!
If You thought shiro was tough. :P Would be amusing seeing that crash through the towns of tyria.
Me: Ok guys lets think about this tactic... *spontanious combustion* -500 Ahhhh I'm burning! *Base defense* -999

I hope it isn't pumpkin helms. That was special for last year, this year should be something different.
Jetdoc
I really hope it's not an Elonian holiday as well, for those of us that won't buy Nightfall the second it comes out.
I also second that I'd love to have some other type of helmet - a witches hat, skeleton mask, etc...
A different type of alcoholic beverage would be sweet as well!

Witches Brew: Get's you tanked instantly, special effects and all, but the buzz lasts half as long as regular ale (aka takes twice the ale needed to stay drunk)
Bane of Worlds
dunno but I"m so ready to get virtual ales for my characters
Jas D
I really want a witches hat! And a pumpkin crown..
Vilaptca
I kind of want some sort of Skull Crown... Something a little more scary than cute...
Wabbajack
Woo! My first GW event!
Hope they offer Witches' Brew this year!

I hope that it is as good as last year. They need some new masks and such. Hopefully it will be aviable everywhere, since i wont get Nightfall as soon as it comes out. It should be universal though just to make it far to the silly people who only got Factions.
Patriarchofchaos
i hope it includes all campaignes due to the fact that I MISSED DRAGON FEST, i HATE not having factions

I would like to request a headless horseman helm!!! My toons have always wanted to walk around with no head and a pumkin under one arm.

Game Update Notes Archive: October 2005 Update - Thursday, October 27 When the moon rises high over Lion's Arch And the wind moans through the most hollow of eves Shutter your homes this holiday Steer clear of the shadows For on this night, they say, A long-addled spirit returns from the grave Pumpkin upon his head, A wicked deed within his heart A pint of witch's brew for all those who misbehave Heed these words, all ye who dare enter here: Bind your souls to the mortal realm For the regent of madness draws near |

Oh, and lets not forget the warrior hip thrust *shudder*
Nadasee
Bunny ears for Easter, i can agree on that, BUT i'm SURE alot of people will make sexistic comments about it for no reason. So what you have bunny ears or a small tail? no different them being dressed like a bunny on Halloween to me.
Bring on the Witches hats or others now for Halloween, or perhaps...Bunnyears/costume

Casinobunny costumes would be the bane of any female class due to the amount of "attention" they get from male players.
I could just imagine hearing this all the time at Balthazar Temple:
*Warrior hip pivot*
"Female" ele in Bunny costume: What the f*** are you doing?!
Male Warrior: (Random corny internet pick-up line)
Female ele: I'm a dude irl
Male warrior: g******* F***!

whens the event date?
Sir Skullcrasher
So is this event happening on Halloween Oct 31 or like a whole week event?
Painbringer
I hope it is a whole week event
Nadasee
Yeah i hope so to.
I don't quite recall but i think last years Halloween Event was about a week loong though
(3-7days), and it started on October the 31:st.
Anybody remember?
Couse i remember having alot of time to get the Pumpkin Crown to all my chars and the other event items. That's what i liked about it, it was long and you didn't have to stress through it to get all items on one day.
Mad King Thorns precence was great to to get extra reward items for doing his Mad-King-Thorn-Says game!

I don't think it's gonna be the whole week, because 1. that's not what they did last year, and they had a lot more time and it was a higher priority than this year. 2. it's supposed to be "modest". What would be better, a half thought out event that last a week, or a higher qaulity one that last the weekend?
BTW, has there ever been a week long event?
