New Halloween Quest Info

You know you can press R to autorun and press Ctrl to see the enemy names right? Wasting time? Don't think so. Kali is right, in a group with a thresher and a collector, target the thresher first (shiftclick so you don't start attacking but run straight through), KD, Tab, KD collector. This is because the collector has 2 spells he can use on you, Life Siphon and Shadow Strike, both of which have a 2 second cast time, giving you enough time to recharge from KD'ing the thresher and then KD the collector before he finishes casting. This ensures you never get a hex on you. The threshers, on the other hand, have 3 hexes with a 1 second cast time. Targeting the collector first usually results in at least one hex on you. It's just logical to go for the thresher first.

Sounds complicated. Not my style of playing at all. I never autorun and never click opponents. Pinky on the tab, rest of the fingers on QWE, slipping down to ASD as needed. Activating skills and changing running direction with mouse. Nothing in the pits touches me. I enter and leave without anything happening to my healthbar.

I'm really liking the second quest. Sure, it takes 20-30 minutes to do, but I've done it on 3 chars now without dying, and the first time I had no idea what I was doing.
I'm not a big time UW speed clearer or farmer or anything like that, and having these quests is really helping out a lot in me finding my way around the UW. It's kind of like having a free run of the place so you can map it out and get oriented. Pretty cool, imo.

There should be a good Dhuum fight with all the monster skills added with tonight's build.

So... new skills were uploaded onto wiki - supposedly Dhuum's personal skills and more.
So, if these are real (a bit skeptical since it was an ip), we fight Dhuum, who has a Scythe.
And if we die, our spirits go to the Forgotten Vale (now THAT will be interesting to see...).

I'm wondering how much QQing we'll see here if the final quest reward doesn't live up to expectations...

Good find Konig. It's gonna be interesting to see the new quests. Judging by those skill descriptions, it's not going to be another running mission.

Thanks Konig! Weight of Dhuum is just plain nasty though with only a 5 second shutdown it doesn't look particularly lethal. I'm actually more interested in what he looks like at this point...guessing traditional Death but we'll see soon enough.
Karuro
The "Dhuum does cool stuff." might be the same like Abaddon's easter egg.
Just throwing in my thoughts.

I definitely wouldn't expect a new model for him. I'd be very surprised (and happy) if he was a brand-new monster....but in my mind I can't help but imagine him as just a bigger version of one of the NF Demons.

I suppose if I can do this one anyone can. Especially helpful are the maps on page 21 of this thread. And Blaze Thirteen's slooow video:
For the pits it's basically the knockdown (tab KD, tab KD) skill and king's chant. It's the massive hexing that gets everyone, so the sticky ground skill is almost useless here. And again, use the king's chant when you get under the bridge and that friendlies the enemies on top where you have to run next.
It took 4 times before I got through. One time was at the end and rubber-banded back to the enemies. I used a cupcake in the pits but didn't really need any consets for the rest of the quest. The maps help a lot if you're unfamiliar with the UW.

I don't get how the last quest could be to get Dhuum's skeleton I mean he wasn't killed Grenth couldn't do that as we all know I'm thinking we'll probably have to hold off Dhuum's minons to hold the chains down (or whatever they are can't remember atm) while the reapers repair it that's just my [speculation as to what the final quest will be when it's released when it does get to us just thinking aloud here

I kind of hope the mini doesn't get put into normal circulation, too many have become self important in the community and think that they deserve everything everyone else has even if they didn't earn it.
Sure, I'd like the new mini, but did I enter the contest? No, no I did not, and so why should I be able to take away the value of someone's reward for their hard work?
I wouldn't complain if they put a different reward for the end of the quest line, though... like say a mini phantom or the like :-P

I guess Anet can't come up with any new names for quest as they are using old rock songs.

Yeah, the minis that do get released will only move around between the very high end traders. Also, well, we can expect Wasabi to have one before Wintersday at least >_>
Seems silly. But then, what else can do with all of your duped armbraces \o/ I also really, really, really don't understand the minipet obsession.

The reward could be something entirely new *hint hint*, and it probably won't be tradable.

Edit: And is it too much to hope for, btw, that the rewards are Weapons of Dhuum? I want to weild a Poking Stick of Dhuum. I'd even settle for candy corn weapons as an alternative to the candy cane ones..

I wonder if the final quest will also be a solo quest.
