About 50min ago Bobby disappeared, and ToTs no longer seem to be dropping. The official website slates the festivities as continuing through 11:59pm on Sunday, November 2.
Just a lil frustrated. I'd been planning on working on my gamer title today. : /
I'm not posting this to open the gates of Hell and unleash the "ZOMGWTFANETSUX" QQ-fest that I know will ensue regardless, but more or less to see if there'll be some action to fix it in a timely manner.....or at all.
I realize they have limited staff working on GW1 these days and all, but mishaps like this really hurt their reputation as a business over time. Yes, I know they're not obligated to do anything special. Although I would argue it's somewhat necessary to keep your player-base satisfied, since a solid amount of profit stems from repeat customers and all, as well as word-of-mouth. I think they're on the right track with some of the more recent updates that have been implemented, as well as those planned in the near future, since they seem to be seriously considering player feedback regarding some features (hurray for grind reduction), but disappointments like this leave a sour taste in everyone's mouth.
Please get the remainder of Halloween back on track, Anet.
Halloween ended early?

Whatever, i'm shure the booze and sweets production this year was higher then ever before. I have enough for months now. 
Sidheyuna Aetheris
Mostly yeah, I don't even really care about the bags....I mean...there'll probably be more sweets and alcohol dropping over Thanksgiving weekend too. Just not another chance to work on gamer until Wintersday, as far as I know, and with the revamped rewards for costume brawl this year...it was better than the 10pts/win you get in Snowball Arena....especially if you can get a good streak going.

That stinks. I was looking forward to some more costume brawls today. Needed 53 gamer points for the next level, but more importantly, I really enjoyed the games. I posted this topic on another forum as well, and hopefully, they can get Bobby and the ToT drops back in the game before too long.

Halloween ended for me after the 4th mad king appearance I attended. No more farming, no more event participation...I just got myself into RA and lost a lot because I was bored of other things.
Oh and i was getting bags after midnight pst..I think.

I don't know how the rest of you feel but its sometimes a pain working out the time translation.
Mostly the times of events are stated in pacific time, and this festival came at a time when many where altering clocks back Much of Europe did this on the last Saturday of October
USA didn't till change till Dec 2nd, and sometimes I believe individual states change on different days, changes also take place at 12 1 or 2 pm adding to my confusion.
Its possibly because I'm an old guy with a lower level of mental agility than I used to have.
Maybe Global games need global time info.

After I got kicked back to GToB from Costume Brawl, I switched to my Ele and did several raptor runs.....no bags. This was around 3am for me, since I'm officially in EST. If your clock said it was 1:30am, don't forget....Daylight Savings (Spring ahead, Fall behind). ^ ^;
Wonder if the clock change was what threw things off. I'm not really pissed about the mistake, I'd just like to see if get fixed as soon as possible today. ><

Oh well.. needed to farm more in pre, but no point now if they stopped dropping

I haven't checked in-game this morning, but are the decorations still up in LA, Droks etc? If they are then the disappearance of Bobby could be as planned...the halloween npc's (Bobby, horsemen collectors etc) appear at staggered intervals over the first couple of days of the festival, so why can't they disappear at staggered intervals over the last day of the festival?
upier
OMG!11
And this happens just when Australians have their prime-playing time!1!
Why?!!?!?!?
WHYYYYYYYYYYYY!?!??!?!?
Are there no gods?!?!?

I suppose it's their prerogative put them in or take them out, but to randomly do so unannounced and without precedent is a little....well, it just sucks. I find it difficult to believe that it was their intention to shaft people out of some good fun, and am much more inclined to believe that someone miscalculated something or entered the wrong data. Crap happens, and I understand that. Fixing it would be nice though, and I'm hoping that happens soon.

Not at all surprising, they always end events too soon, heh.
Slabby
Auch... so that makes my total of Halloween drops stay at 0.
citizensmith1001
Thank god ,its a shame its ended early but now hopefully there wont be 100s of morons in LA and Kamadan waiting for the mad king to appear just one more time.Now i need to get into this ridiculous drunkard title, 1000 minutes.... UGH! O_O
MannfredSetha

fowlero
Haha, didn't the exact same thing happen last year?
So long as people QQ enough they'll probably add a day which is what happened last time iirc.

Third.
I hate all the sellers of junk that no ones ever going to buy in Kama/LA
Taking up space and the fact that noobs lagg EVERY district in the game
(Even Asia - Chinese - 2) Waiting for Mad King Lame so that they can get the pointless masks and some extra tot to take up even more space.

Yay to less lag and the hair ripping frustration that is costume brawl.
Dru Stratas
Some just can't be pleased.
The event was fun, personally I hadn't been playing GW recently, but costume brawl, is a very fair and profitable means of pvp. I really enjoyed it, and hope to see it again soon ( I said hope ).
GG on the event as last year, really enjoyed it. It is a shame it ended early, maybe we will get that time back, I hope so, but if not, we didn't miss out on much.

The problem here is that the one day where people would have intended to participate would be the day they don't have so many other commitments, like work. For there people there is now no event, not even a weekend event!
Has to be an error, even ANet aren't this mean.

Disappointed, I was counting on spending all day today in Costume Brawl.
Now I can just curse college for taking up my time until Wintersday rolls around.

The resetting of the server's clocks due to Daylight Savings Time caused the halloween events to be removed.

technically midnight Nov. second is 1 minute passed 11:59 nov. first. because as soon as it hits 12:00, its already the second. of course i could be wrong.
and it also could be day light savings ending. i got so screwed up when my alarmclock said something different from my computer clock..

No, technically midnight Nov. 2nd is 12pm tonight. 12:00:01 is the morning of Nov 3rd. The top of the hour is part of the previous day while any time after that is the next day.

I'm SO glad its over. It was fun while it lasted but the questions of all the people were getting annoying ><
Although, I only CB's for r1 gamer and did the mad king thing for the tot bags, I was much too busy doing stuff on my sin. But still, all those questions....RAWGH
Plus, no more epic lags. Cept it still might be there, but not as much xD
