Halloween event information

Accumulating Gamer points ftw ^^.

lmao, it is TOTALLY possible.

That's exactly what popped into my mind when Regina posted that.

The new quests sound exciting. I've always wanted some quests for Halloween.

New builds for costume brawl sounds good.

Oh, by the way, why are people flipping out about quests that are available "for this year only." How is that any different from... the first dragon festival? Other holidays have done that before. There is no reason to freak out about it.

I was thinking the same thing:

If you must bring in new CB builds, don't change them too much around from the old ones.

Well, change the rit and the para atleast.

Yes, true, but the others were fine.

Change like 2 skills on the rit, and it will be fine.

new quests for this year.....which will ONLY be for this year....hm, doesnt sound like gw2 related, sounds like the reward for the quest will be something they will only give out this year, like gee....maybe its the way you get the hat this year....or something lame like that (remember the jade wind orbs and those fangs which were the only way to get the hat?????)

but glad they are doing something new either way.....and will be happy with tot bags dropping to finish off a bunch of titles!

Already says you get two hats from the finale, one from Kamadan and the other from Lions Arch so it wouldnt be that. It could be a story that impacts GW2's story/Halloween story (dark forces in the Underworld sounds alot like Dhuum unless they have made a direct nemesis for Mad King Thorn) or it gives out something Anet dont want becoming a routine. Or it could be something that actually impacts the Underworld/SF issue like someone else posted (though not as dire as removing the Underworld ).

Whatever the case, considering its Linseys team thats done it i'm sure it will be great.

It will be incredibly boring if they don't change every skill bar. I want to see some crappy setups that work with only what the other classes get. That's why CB is fun.

The quests being year-specific make me think that there's going to be some kind of exclusive reward, and I'm not sure if that really makes a lot of sense. Why not have it still be a seasonal quest?

Guess we're stuck to wait and see.

Why are the quests only this year? Doesn't make any sense, even if GW2 is planned to come out before Halloween next year...

GW1 won't be shut down nor disappear when GW2 releases. So I don't see how time limited quests implies anything GW2 related, unless one is reading what they want to believe. There are any number of explanations for limiting the quests to a one-time event.

Regina's post implied to me that the specifics of the quest(s) itself would explain its time limit. So the explanation could be lore, limited time item, NPC, etc.

GW1 will be shut down when GW2 is released?

Pure speculation on my part...but, player driven changes to the area become permanent. Would be a creative way to work in a nerf to SC runs while having some major change to the area itself stay plausible as far as the game is concerned.

^That would be uber :3

mmmm, UW and a returning Nemisis.... sounds like Dhuum to me... should be interesting.

anyone that tries to RR during Costume Brawl is an idiot. Are you really that desperate for balth points + bags and just want to ruin the fun?

because next year we'll have GW2?

EDIT: and if the quests relate to somehow changing UW from then on, then this would be the perfect time to use the most-hated phrase in all History essays: "This changed the Underworld FOREVER."

lol A reskin of an old mask is a new mask.
