Halloween ended early?

Really Skippy? Name one...

Dragon Festival, all 3 of them. I think one of the last wintersdays allowed hats to be made from the Hat Maker after the hats were given out too.

Yeah, last wintersday, and it was because of unplayable lag or something like that.

Yep the Dragon festivals kept the guy there for about a week so people who missed the event to get a hat.

On a side note Halloween is back again starting tomorrow after the update.

Aww man I wanted the Boardwalk...

Name one since the Hat makers went away? Name one since the the new style of festivals existed...

all i have to say is H-ween Redux ftw. i need to raptor farm for more damn tots lol

Are u sure u dont want to tell us that again?
U told us at least twice

Another Note

Think this a good idea They Added the extra 2 days and its not like they Had to do it, Just be happy they did

wrong. all i am trying to do is make it so events offer the "hat" at more times then just one day. Like the Dragon festival and the wintersday event. i don't see why they have to only appear for one day and one day only Yes it is a little selfish of me to ask for a this change because i want a stupid hat. but its i think more selfish of you to be so determent to make it so i and many others don't get one.

Looks Like i use the Words THOSE And EVENTS as in it has happened multiple times. not that it happened during the tengu event.

no what this shows is that this is a point less thread to which i keep replying because of how out outlandish you are.

Well on that we will disagree, as I think you are given an event that anet certainly dont have to do, a special event with extra drops to improve peoples enjoyment of their product, but yet it is not enough for you and you want everything laid out for you exactly when you want it. The only thing thats makes me "determined" is QQers who are and will never be satified until its all about THEM.


Your response was to mine mentioning two events, the Tengu and one other. Go back and check if you forget. so your response was wrong, period.

Funny, to me it means that you dont mean (or cant be trusted to mean) anything you say as youve said it twice and yet are still here and posting -the fact that you rage on a guru thread shows some issue with control, Id suggest a referral to a relevant professional.

Hey, ANet. Stop screwing up your schedule in the first place, and you won't have to have these silly reduxes.

I'm mostly pissed because I'm pretty much totally busy from now until the event supposedly ends. Unless I can get a week's worth of homework finished in my ~6 hour morning tomorrow, I'll be missing out.

Yeah ArenaNet stop hiring humans and get to hiring robots also created by perfect non-human beings so that you'll stop making mistakes, jeez, how dare you make a human mistake with your server timing cause of DST...

As i said before this isnt about me its about the people who missed the one day they handed out hats.
no actually seeing as i wrote it i know what i meant at the time. As you pointed out this is not all about you.
ORLY i already explained why i came back to defend my self. and you don't seem to get it so looks like theirs no hope for you.

I refer you to your previous post Hmm so it isn't about you? Nice way to contradict yourself in consecutive posts /lmao

Are you sure you know what you meant as it doesnt seem to be clear at all in your posts. As your response was quoting me - then it was a response to me or did you miss that part of conversational English 101??

So let me get the straight, you were ignoring the thread, but yet knew you had to come back and defend yourself, I am imagining you must have exceptional ESP.
Just an fyi your "explantion" made no sense, but then again, neither have any of your posts such as having a rage and then accusing others of such, so I shouldnt expect otherwise.
Have a nice day now

Your logic is undeniable. (soz i just got through watching I-Robot)

your twisting my words. I said this Change Implying
the change which would benefit everyone who missed it. Let me Clarify this seeing as you will probably try and twist it even further. when i said this change; what i was trying to say is changing it so in future events the part of the event that is the hat give away last for more then 1 day so people like me who go to out of town have the opportunity to get the hat.

actually no my post was directed at you and 2-3 other people whom also quoted me.

no i how i knew the tread was updated was by clicking on the user cp. which told me people had responded. so i decided to take a look see and see if anything anything interesting was brought up. and if you cant understand me that's not my problem but your own.

Uhhh, since the Hat Maker went away? They are still around. And since the "new style of festivals"... Canthan New Year and Dragon Festival are the "new" festivals. Halloween is the oldest event. Wintersday being the second oldest.

I personally think that hats should be available for those who cannot make the finale. But I always make the finales (so far), so until we talk about getting hats from past events, I'll stay at "prefer, but whatever."

How do I twist the words "it isnt about me" and "selfish of me to want the change because I wanted a stupid hat" ?

Answer, I dont, they are your words - please try not to contradict yourself in consecutive posts as it makes you look silly.

As you obviously have problems with reading and comprehension (or maybe it was your "rage"), may I refer you to your post #140

Or maybe the Xmas hats from 2 years ago for the people who hadnt bought the game yet?
Because its not Halloween and if you were too busy to turn on your computer and be afk before you did your important stuff then you obviously didnt really want the hat that much. "

You answer

"first off i don't like to wast That thing Called ELECTRICITY secondly you should Be more Elitist about a Hat i mean for real. ALSO ON THOSE EVENTS YOU COULD GET THE HAT FOR MORE THEN JUST ONE DAY all right my rage here is done /ignore tread. "

There, does that help? You quoted MY post, then responded to it. you didnt quote "2 or 3 others" just MINE as I was the only person to mention "other events" and answered just mine. Deny it all you want, but its there in written word for all to see. Your denials just make you look worse and worse /lmao.

Guess what? Noone who is /ignoring the thread would do that - unless they have some issues - I refer you to my previous suggestion to help you with your issues.

The fact is, this event as quite clearly stated well in advance had a finale on the 31st where hats were given out. If you didnt attend "for whatever reason" you didnt get the hat. Its called making the smallest of effort to partake in the festival.

YOU had a choice, you didnt want to waste electricity then that was YOUR choice - lots of others took an alternative approach and got their hats and bags, they had a choice too.
When you have a choice, then you can't come back and whine about the result of your choice - seriously, grow up.

sorry i used the wrong term your taking my words out of context. as you have done yet again and are blindly not excepting my explanations to you.


actually that was a blanketed statement and quoting you was just out of convenience. and to prove my point i have these direct quotes.
looks like i was simi wrong about the amount of people it was only 2 people who quoted me including you. but after your post that 2 other people replied with the same stuff you did. and its blatant that its you with the "reading comprehension" problem.

ORLY i didn't realize i that once i said /ignore that i could no longer read a thread. or reply back to it. i said the rage and /ignore more as a joke then anything else.

First of i never Disputed that it was on the web site. that was never my point my point as i have said quite a few time is : Events should Alow you to get the hats on more then just one day so everyone can have the chance to get the hat if they go away for that holiday. You are the one using personal attacks and the person who needs to "grow up"

*note* I'm currently ignoring this thread and as such will only check in and post at most 27 more times */note*

On topic: Halloween has always offered hats on just one day. This does not mean that the event is not ever changing as they do bring in other features (like it lasting an extra week or costume brawl being added). If you want a hat maker for halloween to stick around, gogo suggestions forum. Again, suggestions forum. It's where you make suggestions.

The problem that occurred during this event: three hours were lost due to server patching. An additional day was lost due to a bug with a DST update. The content that was missed during this time was ONLY the festival drops, the collectors, and the costume brawls.

The solution: Anet came out, said they would see what they could do about it, responded quickly and are giving us over three additional days of the content that was lost.

Analogy: My internet service stops working. I call the provider, they apologize, tell me an error occurred and I am without internet for a day. They then get back to me and give me four days free for the loss of my one day.

Somehow I managed to miss an online sweepstakes two days before the internet went out. It is not my isp's fault I missed the sweepstakes, as such there is no reason they should give into my demand that they find a way to get me an entry into that limited sweepstakes when missing it was my fault to begin with.

*note* Although I am still ignoring this thread, i have decided my input into this subject is so important that I will now have an additional 763 cases of selective memory during which I will forget I am ignoring this thread and return to share my vast wealth of knowledge on the subject. GOGO post count. */note*

LOL GG as i just said in the above post i said that as more of a joke then anything else. also who cares if i said i am going to /ignore this thread. and then start replying to someone who quotes me. i don't think i lost the right to defend my self just because i said that. you are also right i should have just posted in the sugstion forums but seeing as Regina was replying to this thread i wanted to throw my idea out there.

So.. halloween + AB = woohoo DOUBLE LAG WEEKEND!!

Wasn't sure about the server time out I wasn't online than.

Token could = tot bags ie hand in 50 tot to get mask.
They are plentiful easy to get and then its your choice as to how much you want a mask against what else you can do with tot bags.

That would mean you could plan for events ahead of time
Unable to spare 30 min to see Mad King on the day, then work on getting tots over the event to hand in later.
If you have any left over you could save them till the following year so if something makes you miss most of the event you can still claim a hat.

good idea.

I could see that working as you say people would have the choice then (not sure about 50 as a number as I got several stacks from CB and I didnt do it that much) but a good suggestion to make to Regina to take back to the devs - if not for GW1 then at least for GW2 events.
Talking of which Ive got about 1500 token things for next years factions new year thing

I have used the phrases you typed, if you didnt mean them you maybe shouldnt type them?


I read the posts between quite clearly, I was the only one who mentioned specific comparative events to which you replied "Those events" so again, deny it all you want but you know, I know and everyone else knows the facts .

Maybe you should not quote people on your rant threads then if you arent referring to them....


Definition of ignore for you. To refuse to pay attention to - just fyi
Yes, of course you did, the same way you used Caps in the post too.


As I have also said time and again, everyone did have a chance to get the hat per the terms of the event. Those that didnt get the hat made the choice not to - Just as I made the choice to be in Vegas on the Tengu event. You make a choice and stand by it, not run around QQing coz you cant have your cake and eat it.
Its a shame my helpful advice for you to seek help is seen by you as personal attacks, but I shouldnt be suprised I guess.

Should be a stack just like for the Dragon festival hat.

I almost missed out on Halloween this year because of a problem with my internet provider, but it got worked out by Friday evening so I got the hats. Had to Afk for one while we took our daughter Trick or Treating but I got it.

I missed out on the Dragon mask and would like a way to get one, but back on topic.

I think Anet is doing more than enough to make up for the mistake.

We are getting three days of Costume Brawl and ToT drops for 1 day and 3 hours of missed time.

I was going to say 100 to 200 tot bags for a mask but I wimped out and put 50.

I know many people got more I had about 200 left from last year I got another 75 this year.

In normal play you don't get that many and 250 would be tough, you do get around 25 for a Mad King visit/

However I was addressing the problem for those who couldn't spare much time and didn't make MKTs visits.

50 was a compromise esp as there are no missions to gain more like you get at the other festivals.
I can repeat those missions with multiple characters and get many tokens.

Collecting for the mask would be stupid.

The masks are for attending the LIMITED TIME festivals.

THEY ARE FOR A LIMITED TIME.

This doesn't need to be changed, whine like a little girl all you want about "having a life" but if you really wanted a hat, knowing the rules, you would find a way to get one.

Really, that is all there is to it.

I think it would be best if changed to a system where all holiday drops are one collectible item and can be turned in during the event for packaged goods or after the event for the mask. During the day of the mask being given out, it would be free to those that would attend.

Essentially a best-of-both-worlds concept between the two systems we have now, and eliminates the QQing about missing the event and missing the mask.

That would defeat the purpose of the Gods/King/Emperor's visits and how the hats are handed out now.

I got my mask, showed it Hat Keeper... looked at it for a little, then deleted it.
It seems all the QQ is about not having it, but they don't realize... why do they need it at all? All the mask shows is that you were there to see Mad King Thorn (or just afk), nothing else.


P.S. Oh, I gave away my old account (means I lost all my old characters and hats...) and then bought myself a new one (when I returned to GW)... So, I only have this Halloween's masks. Do I consider this a big deal? Meh, not really. I'd rather sacrifice my mask for more funny *new* jokes from King Thorn and such.
