Great opportunity for survivors

Interestingly, the King Frozenwind is no longer guarding Dhuum.

I'm thinking now that we'll need our phantasmal tonics to go in and fight as reapers, but that's just a guess.

The reason I think there's more is because they said it would become clear why these are 1 time only quests, so far, if they left it as is they could have the same near emergency every year, there needs to be something to close off the quest chain.

However, I suspect there is one more quest to come or why put the stuff about Dhuum in the dat?

Oh, suppose you could be right about that... didn't think of that. Well, if that's it, it'll be good I suppose for people who want to use it to farm ToT bags and nothing really lost out on for those who didn't/couldn't finish the quests.

So all this stuff about Dhuum boils down to the addition of a new monster in UW to make farming a bit harder (like the Dying Nightmares back in the days), which are only useful for this weekend because the quests are Halloween only?

I really hope that there is one more quest, or at least after Halloween we get to see Dhuum... would be disappointing not to.
I guess there will be something, because "As inevitable as death itself" amiright?
Maybe today? A hint from the devs would be nice...

But i don't know why this quest is onlyfor this year .... there is no chance and a weird quest line .....
Shayne Hawke
There will be one more quest where we fight Dhuum.
There only seemed to be four new instances for festival quests, but we've only experienced three of them. The last two quests used the same instance.
If not for the festival, it will probably be a permanent addition to the Underworld itself.

Divine Ashes
There has been no final resolution or even a hint of resolution in the quest line, so I would have to assume there will be at least another quest.
Sarc
If another quest does not come for the Halloween event (doubt it), I'm actually thinking that they might add some continuing quests for Wintersday (if people haven't speculated this before).
optymind
it appears no new quest...............
Mr. Undisclosed
Guess no new quest today?

awww, really??? I was looking forward to doing the end quest all weekend long once I got home.
FengShuiDove
Man, I was hoping for an 11 quest UW...
MisterB
Perhaps there will be a new quest or more changes in the Underworld after the event concludes with some lore explanation based on the actions of players during the event. There's always later today or tomorrow, I suppose. After all, the Mad King has not officially appeared until today. Who knows.
Wheel of time
argh
im wrong shame on me
im wrong shame on me
Free Runner
Maybe they set it at a different time to stop it colliding with Mad Kings visits?
tONYY
Will I be right after all?
I speculated that we'll see an update at the end of Halloween that adds a new permanent UW quest, as the last part of this quest chain. That would be so much better than a halloween quest we cant do again.

Adding a boss encounter is a huge undertaking for the live team, it would need artists, modellers, play testers etc etc to make sure the balance is right. The last thing we need is another Mallyx/doa fiasco.
Although i would love a new boss etc and I hope we get one now, i'm not holding my breath. The live team already did a whole load for this halloween so we may need to wait until wintersday for the resolution if at all.

But yeah, another quest tomorrow would be nice. I've had my fill of repeating this one...

Im not underestimating the resources needed to do a new boss, but they're pretty much already in place. The boss would probably use an existing model (whether its Dhuum or not) that's simply reskinned, which is essentially a more complex version of texmodding.
As for play balance... the Test Krewe has already been informed and should be in place by now. Perfect use for them right there.

Wrong. We got notice that we were selected, and received our NDA to sign. That's been it so far, since Halloween has been keeping everyone busy.
Reflect
so are we getting something more?
I mean i think there should be..but 1st and 2nd quest tell bout Dhuum comming back, and still he doesnt?
Or maybe add him later as a permanent UW-addition?

If this is indeed the last quest, I wish we were informed of that fact before hand. If I had have known that the last quest was repeatable, I wouldn't have wasted the time doing the quests on my other characters, nor the party points (as my main is going for that title, and needs every point). I also do not like that all of my characters have a title started that I never intended on giving them that they will never max, for essentially nothing. If there had have been another quest, or the last one wasn't repeatable, I wouldn't feel this way.
Ah well, life goes on. More than a little annoying though.

yeah, Grenth has definitely taken a backseat in this Mad King vs. Dhuum episode. Which is cover for providing new one-time content and nerfing uwsc.
