I hope they make you collect like 250 pumpkin seeds or something to get a pumpkin crown...*Yay more mini pets and ectos for me!*
And they leave like an Undead Supply Master after it is over so that everyone that was out partying i.e. ME will be able to get one.
I was out partying last year and I was to lazy to walk home from a few blocks away *I WASSNT WAISTED* to jump on real quick...Oh well I will be home for this one, Cheers all!
Confirmed: Halloween Event!

Yes, the Wintersday Festival was like over a week long (spanning both Christmas and New Years).
In fact, we got Santa's Hats on New Year's Eve, LOL!
That was a blast though: Snowball fights, Candy canes and candy cane weapons...
I hope by a "modest" Halloween event, they just mean, don't expect a Wintersday type event!

Yes Wintersday was a week long event.
The only thing i had a problem with was that you got the "yule hats" on new years eve...when Christmas was practical over. you had to wait a whole week for it, BUT the candy weapons and other stuff pretty mutch made up for the wait
Wintersday had so mutch to offer, Snowball fights (Yellow Snowball FTW, poisoned for 30 secs haha!), candy shard hunt for the Candy weapons and all the other items. So the 7 days was well filled.
Lets' hope they add some things to the Halloween event and then expand it. couse if it will be like last year then 3 days is enough to get it all and do all things there is to do.

I wasn't too into Winterday for some reason. I didnt stay for the hats and any cand canes I got went to guildies. Maybe this year will be different.
Sir Skullcrasher
Wintersday, Dragon Festival were week long event. Hell even the Tengu Event were like 1 or 2 days.
Carinae
oh....Snowball Arena ftw! That was the best PvP experience I've ever had in GW.

Indeed, it was really fun^^
I would really like to se something simmular to it in the Halloween event.
Someting to do with "Trick or Treat", capture the other teams Candy or gather the most candy in a surten timelimit (dosn't have to be candy though, pumpkins, scarry objects ect) kinda like the present gathering in the snowball fight

I only bought guild wars about 3 months ago and heard about these events for xmas and halloween and it got me quite excited!
I heard it wasnt going to happen due to the release of nightfall but im really happy to find out its been confirmed for this year
I'm just looking forward to it now, just a quick question, should i start farming and saving money to get good things or are things usually available from collectors and are things given out?

Plz dont ruin the event by making you collect like...250 pumpkin seeds lol.It didnt let me play as much of the dragon festival as i would have liked too with the orbs.
But otherwise im freaking excited
But otherwise im freaking excited
Spike
You could get 240 orbs (at least) form doing all the quests which took at most 20 mins if that. So unless you can only play like 30 mins a week how does it ruin it ? I'd love to get pumpkin masks for my other characters so heres hopeing we DO have to collect stuff to get them.
Ascalon Chariot
I had my whole storage full of orbs...I traded 250 orbs for a Jade Armor mini pet then i traded it for 1000 orbs, and so on...I got over 500k off of that festival

Yeah, I'm thinking that person'll be pissed if they put something like the orbs in as trading for the collectors.
Man, I hope they don't.
Ascalon Chariot
I kinda hope they do...I mean come on...Dont be lazy...You do like 3 quests for 240 of them...Go outside and kill about 20 lvl 1's and get 10 more...
Anyways....WTT 5000 Pumpkin Seeds for 15^50 fellblade req 8 Not really...lol But I will start getting mini pets and ectos if they do...Thats what I did with the Jade Wind Orbs..

The last big event was canthan only, so I imagine the halloween event will be Nightfall only. Let's cross our fingers that it's not.
Things I'd like to see in the Halloween event:
1. As someone mentioned earlier the mask from Scream would be awesome.
2. Some halloween item, maybe an eyeball or something else icky, that would work like a candy cane.
3. Witches brew- /signed
4. Halloween quests/missions in a cemetary or haunted house.
5. Halloween weapons, shields and focus's (foci?)
6. Halloween presents aka a trick or treat bag that gives random halloween items.
Anet, please don't make the halloween event Nightfall only. Ascalon would look great all dark and gloomy with spiderwebs and bats flying around. Also some undead guards and zombies.

i joined like...february last year so i totally missed wintersday and halloween too, so i really dont care as long as it (for some strange reason) doesnt exlclude prophecies-
c'mon think about the rangers, why not let us have an undead pet (Zero would be cool, but i'm sure there could be copyright issues or something rather) ? XD (i kid, i kid), but some devil wings or a new bow skin (a halloween set of weapons, period) would be rockin.
absinthe >witches brew, but i doubt they'd call it absinthe instead.

Instead of absinthe, the could call it wormwood elixer (I think absinthe is made from somthing called wormwood). I don't see what absinthe has to do with halloween. Though I admit, it is cool.
Das Hip
Yeah, I don't see why 'modesty' is necessary when they could easily redo LA like last year using all the same code.. That's the least they could do, and it makes old GW: Prophecies players happy Wouldn't be that hard, and definately not 'modest' lol
Uh, I would like something new though.. Makes the 'exclusiveness' of my pumpkin helm not all that exclusive if every yahoo has one... :P
Skeletor-masks FTW!!

Grr, all you pumpkin-crown people make Thor Angry!! Thor SMASH you!! 
Think of the people who were actually cool enough to HAVE guildwars when it first came out late April '05 and think about how they'd feel if their exclusive pumpkin crowns were given out again!
I couldn't make it to the Christmas/Wintersday's events because I was out of the country, but do you see me beotching/bellyaching about me not getting antlers/ a santa hat?? NO!! Suck it up, you didn't get a pumpkin crown, nor do you deserve one... Time for something new and unique for a new event.
I might make a few enemies by saying it straight up but guess what... Don't care!! Suck it up people. No crowns for you.

I'd also be fine with them giving out something else, since some people seem to be so up in arms about it. I don't see the big deal, really - it's a game, it's not like the helms are a real trophy you earned for something. *shrug*
Basically, I'll just be happy that we have a Hallowe'en event at all.

To People griping about the bonus weekends though, geeze, I consider them well, a great bonus considering ArenaNet didn't have to have em (and didn't have them with the prophecies campaign release).... These kinds of major celebrations are for major events... like game launches and major holidays...
Although I too would appreciate more of these special holiday events (An Easter event would be great, as would a valentines day, etc...), I know there a heck of a lot of work for the folks at ArenaNet to put together so we can't expect a tonne. Nothing wrong with recycling an event though from a year previous.. I just appreciate the gesture of different items to be earned.
Well, I'm babbling on... But here's to looking forward to Haloween! </cheers>

Sorry, but you all sound like a bunch of autruistic individuals... BS I say! BS!!!
That's not the real world., sorry... What if Arenanet was to suddently say "Hey, lets give away miniature Kuunvang's to everyone this halloween as well", or "Hey, lets give out Divine aura, and exclusive CE dances out to everyone who wants to pay for em,"... Or heck, forget paying, lets just give 'em out for free!
Would everyone here be keen on that? The majority probably would be because they likely wouldn't have those items/emotes... But the ones with 'em wouldn't be too happy now, would they??
How about those rare Zodiac items you really liked... What if they just started giving out max stat orange ones to everyone, or heck, Icy Dragon Swords... Would that bug ya at all??
Well, I think you get my point... I'm opinionated, and I argue for arguements sake, but .... geeze , 'nice' people bug me... lol , and they just aren't very damn interesting :P

Why are you comparing Event items, that are ONLY for sentimetal value and for fun with Rare weapons and CE items anyway!? I really can't see any recemblance in it.
And yes i play on the events just for the fun and NOT the Items, they are just a bonus.
Like i said, no real use for them anyway in GW.
Event items has no real function after the event is over, except from looking cool and get you drunk ect, but nothing that helps you in the game.
Rare items and CE items does on the other hand have a function (dispite from the dance emotes) but some people want this stuff.
What is your point? You don't want them to use the Pumpkin Crowns this year to since some allready has it or what? Sorry just don't get it, plz explain.

I repudiate your claim of BS.

They are free items so why not get them while you can? I sure would if i like them. Dispite that they have no real use after the event. It was just great fun running arround in it among other fellow Pumpkin heads in the Halloween towns!
I would really like to see the Pumpkin Crowns again to, YET i might want something new for this year. I don't demand it i just wish it. Couse i know Anet has their hands full right now with both Nightfall and the event so new items might not be avaliable.
