Fixed something, but your post was pretty much correct.

Its what anet does nowadays, they just pump out failure after failure. I'll definitely retract/apologize if somethings off because of Daylight savings time but I dont see that happening.

Because the quests were only stated to be available during Halloween very specifically.

It would be fun if there was a quest line at wintersday and only the people who had finished the halloween quest line could participate in that :P.

Or Make a final quest that is repeatable, and have a chest at the end. Give the people who didn't win a Miniature Mad King Gaurd a chance to get one. Kind of like the Miniature Polar Bear.

What ArenaNet states and what actually happens in Guild Wars are, usually, very different things.

Uh should I? i mean why would they put in those skills into wiki then... There is a better percentage of those skills being used unless they were a decoy so i did the correct thing. ROFL I DIDNT make a whole team build settup. Just a quick glance at what could be a team build's. Didnt go into detail unless you want to provide it for everone.(waste of time)

Ah well, I guess we have to wait for Anet to confirm it for us if at all there will be any other quest.

I have no problem with the story being finished some time later, but I thought these were unique Halloween quests. What we got didn't resolve the story, and didn't even end on a cliff hanger, the whole thing just slowly fizzled out with no conclusion or even promise of a continuation.

I enjoyed what we got.. but that's just bad story telling. And I'm very disappointed it didn't really go anywhere or give any kind of special reward

Amazed at how people moan even when they get something for nothing, aren't 4 new quests enough for you? I don't think there will be another quest during hallowe'en imo. Why are people going on about the story not being concluded? I think it has been, something is happening in the UW so we run to the king to find out, we then recruit the reapers to find out more information. Dhuum is close to escaping and his minions are out in the UW hence the need to collect them in the final repeatable quest. Who is to say this change in the UW isn't about the worlds transition from GW1 to GW2? They used the worlds lore to explain it so it makes sense to me atleast..

Well we won't know if anything else is happening until update time comes tomorrow so it's pointless to worry about it now.

I wonder if there will be any hardcore collectors that bother to keep the Everlasting Mobstoppers and Captured Skeletons after this even is done.

250x6=1500

1500 skellies capped would take 1500 mins cuz of the cooldown

1500 divided by 60=25

you spent 25 hours capping skellies

now, 1500 divided by 3 is 500. Which means that you completed the repeatable quest at least 500 times. 500x25(ToT bags)=12500

You have at least 12,500 ToT bags

Holy shit, dude....

No point in really having over 50 since everytime you trade in the 3 captured skeles you get 3 stones back. Unless you really want to fill all of them and share them on diff chars for survivor.

Nope the idea was I farm UW daily.......I get around 9+ in 30 minutes at least.....so if the skeletons were year round why not bring the Mobstoppers in with you year long and capture them..
The next year (if they kept the quest around,) which they say there not....ill have a whole bunch of skeletons to turn in....
But of course Anet is spoiling my fun and saying the quest chain will not be around next year
Oh well though, I have toon filled with stacks of mobstoppers though just in case

Im finding it quite profitable using 4 on each character now that i did the other quests as you get 40 bags, a scroll and 3k
I can immagine for those who just wanna collect them keep the quest and they should still spawn, though u cannot get the reward. So those crazy people who like collecting stacks should use up as much on quest reward as you can for now and just leave the quest active. Also another strange thought the quests may not be here next year but what if the Steward is, would he accept rewards?

I know i havent got long left so just aswell fill the characters up with the quests, cant harm anything

I run Dual acts and use heroes. PuGing is fairly inefficient. I pack 100 Mobstoppers per act and go farm UW. I clear the first 3 skeles, 1 entrance to wastes and 1 entrance to mountains. Rinse and repeat. Takes me 8 minutes for both acts which works out to 10 per every 8 minutes. I have farmed "approx." 20 stacks. Used up some of the goodies so hard to keep track but from what I have left over it's safe to say I really did farm that much. I didn't even have to go sleepless either. The repeatable quest is just OVERPOWERED =p.

Correction: 12 PM (Noon) Pacific Nov 2 - as the event and all the quests appeared at noon pacific, why would it end at another time?

I think you found the reason why it isn't repeatable. :P

That, and the lore of the quests being a "permanent change" to the Underworld.
