Whether you enjoyed it or not, whether you're happy with your new hats or not, the event is now over and it's time to give A-Net the credit they deserve for bringing us another great event. Whether you thank them for snazzing up the towns, ToT bags, hats or whatever (personally I like Mad Kings new jokes, even he doesn't like Paragons), get your 12 chars in now. No QQ'ing about how to make it better or what they should have done, just give them a little appreciation.

Yup, and to top it off my Paragon got a mini charr shaman for her birthday.

He's such a dude.

Great event. Loved the ToT bags.

Most of it was just recycled from previous years, they didn't put that much work into it, besides making new hats and changing a line a text from the Mad Cow King.

Edit: Forgot about the costume brawl since I never even looked into it. Can't really comment on that, but yeah, sounds like it was fun.

Yeah, that Costume Brawl was soooo much better last year...

oh, wait, that was new.

So much for a positive thread...

I was sad that I didn't get to play as much as I had hoped. But not too sad. I was too busy living an actual life . Come to think of it, I'm not sad. All I got was about a dozen ToT bags...but I got first prize in a costume contest. Fair trade.

But it was definitely a cool event. I enjoyed the moon and decor. Would have been really happy if the event had lasted one more day as Thursdays are the days I get to play the most. 2 hours ftw.

my favorite part of halloween, like last year,

is watching people mis-type a command in public chat when king thorn asks them to do something.

King Thorn: "King Thorn says JUMP!"
Guy in back: .jump
*pause*
*aaauuughhh* <--Guy in back dying

i always laugh

Yeah, the best part is when the guy next to him calls him a NOOB, then does the very same thing a minute later.

While I wasn't a big fan of the event (and thought the masks this year were awful, frankly) I will certainly give Anet props for continuing to support the game and for going to a great deal of effort to try and provide enjoyable holiday events. Gifts are gifts, after all, it's only proper to say thank you for them.

I had a great time during the event. I didn't have much of a chance to enjoy the costume brawl (so many monsters to farm for decayed orr emblems and treat bags, so little time...), although I hereby resolve to do that next time

I especially liked the extra touch to Droknar's Forge - the Sorrow's Furnace soundtrack playing in the background rather than the usual music. Made the effect there so much nicer

And most of all, I'd like to thank ANet for all the free booze and sugary snacks!

Halloween was fun....

If they do the Costume Brawl again, it would be good if you could pick your class instead of being forced by your primary class... just my 2 cents...

Besides that... T-Bags for all!

I had a great time. :-) I liked the Trick or Treat bags, they made great things to give away since they have that little bit of festive suprise to them.

And that's exactly what I am talking about, all the little things that go unnoticed by so many. That was a particularly nice touch.

Love it, miss the Mad king, could't see him last year because of technical difficulties

Too bad there was not the joke

-A troll, a Dwarf and a tengu go into a bar.
-Oh wait, the troll and the tengu do, the dwarf goes under the bar!
-Haha, my jokes always kills the audience one way or the other!



The only thing that was bad were other people who though they were cool just wearing and calling people idiot when they lost agains the mad king

Even reported one of them....

But otherwise event was great!

I really liked the event and thought the ToT bags where a nice touch

The thing which really annoyed me was the number of bastards in towns trying to ruin the event for others. I must of added 10 people to my ignore list as they were constantly spamming local with, 'ALT+F4FOR X ITEM !!!', and stuff along the lines of '**** you king, give me ****ing item now!!' people like that ruined it for me
I also found that nearly all of the douchebags were in Kamadam, LA seemed a nicer environment

But anyways, GJ anet on a great event

I've tied the Mad King at rock-paper-scissors 3 years in a row now, but it's still fun to play.

I only played a couple rounds of Costume Brawl, but it was fun.

ToT bags are cool, I hope to see them back next time around.

And I like the new masks too, good to see they're still expanding on the holiday headgear.

GJ Anet, and thx.

Great time, and it lasted quite a while. Had fun playing CB. ToT was a good addition. My first time with King Mad Thorn and it was great.

Was good fun. Enjoyable. Giving away ToT bags instead of definite gifts adds a touch of suspense

Costume brawl was a riot, lots of fun and i finally got my first level of gamer from an event.

tons of TOT bags and went out solo hunting the undead for absinthe exchange. MAnaged to get about 10 golds doign that alone,

Really a fantastic weekend for doing things not normally done, and a welcome break from doing the hard mode stuff i still have left over,

Cant wait for the next holiday event, and its not to far away either

the costume thing was fun for about 2 minutes, then the pvpers took over and I was massacred and never won another round (with any toon), yeah fun for someone I guess. Nice idea, not so good on implementation.

Liked the treat bags.....but when you kill a boss and that is ALL they drop ....not so good.

The best thing was it was during the week and I could take part!! (though halloween day falling on a weekday anet had nothing to do with, but hey they could have moved it to the weekend so that all the school kids and day/weekday workers could attend, but ya'know there are people who work on the weekends and do other things other than gw during said days as well.....so I am happy that they didnt move it). [about the Mad king coming]

the costume (ack, not art) contest was less than spectacular, they should have just made it a costume contest and be done with it. (or made it 2 contests so th------)

The best of all?
Halloween sweets, disguise brawling and Paragon and Asura jokes.

Asura are the best option to makes jokes of... aren't they. Pride makes jokes better.

Now now, it's not his fault he's lacking in the mechanical knowledge department. No need to point it out and make the poor guy feel bad. He might take it personally and never come back!

What's the difference between the Great Destroyer and the Great Dwarf?

One's a harbinger of an apocalypse, and one's an oxymoron!


Loved that one. Most of my Kamadan dist. did NOT get that one.
GG A-net, and thanks for the treats!

But I Really wanted a witch hat for my ranger. *sobs.

ToT bags were fun. Costume Brawl was new and interesting. Not a fan of the new masks, which was only disappointing because I usually always do. Decorations are still fun even though they are the best the first time you see them. Not complaining, just sharing my thoughts.

I love holiday events. Thanks to aNet for keeping with them and always trying to bring a new element into it.

Ya for once I actually was able to laugh at a couple of Mad Kings jokes.
the Paragon one was pretty funny.
