The Halloween festival is brilliant, one of the best events I have seen in any game. Some tweaks would be nice, but I don't see what the big deal is. They're busy working on GW2 now, and could just as well not give us anything.

Or can you only enjoy things that are completely 100% new and original?
It's just a bit of fun, sheesh.

I'm going to play a male rit just to be Razah!

Hmmm, a gender transmorgifier would be a sweet mystery item...

I sure would prefer something useful in game. The birthday cupcakes were great, the candy canes were great, the easter eggs were ok. All the sugar rush stuff, blurry effect booze, etc.--no thx.

The description on the site says the mystery items drop (just like easter eggs, etc). So doubt its those weapons again.

argh cant wait.....
and when will they announce the winners for that contest (I know they will put it up sometime in November)....I entered and well, I know that I dont stand a snowballs chance, but I would like something emailed to me saying at least 'tanks for entering, but your entry was sh*t so you didnt win nothin'....'
instead of having to wait to find out WHO did win. (and search in vain for my name in the list).

I just wish there was a confirmation email saying that your entry was even received. After all the work I put in I hope the server didn't eat it somehow. (For any who remember my mini-monk from last year, this year's entry is 4x as good.)

Yay for holiday events and for kids going off with their grandparents for a few hours. I will get to spend at least 4 hours playing. *lol*

Honestly, I'm sick of all the PvE bonus items. GWEN made all of it redundent anyway, with the purchaseable consumables.

Multiple Mystery Items would be pretty sweet though...

With Hats and Minipets out, though, I suspect a consumable will be the Mystery Item.

On the Halloween Brawl thread, it was suggested the item would be a Tonic that transforms you to one of the "costumed" NPCs. That would be great, IMO.

I can really see that new mystery item as just a sugar rush item.

Maybe the mystery item is just a present that spawn random items from the game?

e.g. it may spawn an ecto or a gold item.

Looks like its shorter than last year, unless i missed something

That moon in the sky is the coolest thing ever by the way

I really hope we get candy corn weps. Plz no mini though, kinda sick of the fellas.

But /excited for costumes!

Surprised nothing is being decorated in GW:EN though.

Well, its an expansion. They guessed that people would head back to a main city for that.

Nah, I have a feeling it will be a sweetooth item (since there isn't one for Halloween, and with all the trick or treating that doesn't make any sense) with some extra affect (like the birthday cupcakes).

I really don't see the point of them since we have consumables now.

Are you consistently excited about the same thing with minor variations?
It's just how I feel, sheesh.

As far as I'm aware, this is the same length as it was last year....Wintersday goes for a very long time (around 3 weeks), but Halloween is relatively short.

Which is a shame, i hope they at least leave the decorations up 1 or 2 days after

More costume battling time.

Wintersday was extended this another week last year because of something that knocked out internet for a lot of people in...um Asia( i think)? December was such a long time ago

OO i see gaile is viewing this thread. /wave

I'm glad to see that the event is happening. I'm sure the costume battle will be a fun way to rack up some points on the Gamer title track.

Cantha didn't get one because Nightfall was released around last halloween, they probably considered that everyone would migrate/new players would come so i t wasn't worth their time to do one. Tyria gets one because its just the original one repeated, they already have the code to do it so it isn't too much hassle.
