New Halloween Quest Info

Candy apples don't work. I used three.

The last Reaper is the one in Ice Wastes, so unless you don't know the way to the King from there, you should not have faced Aatxes and Graspings on the way there....

You can do them out of order. I did the Ice Wastes Reaper 3rd.

Just spam the 3rd skill for kd 10s mobs before running.
I did it like this at my first try..

/waiting for another quest !

New quest is pretty cool I guess, but it took me way too long because I didn't know the way.

Pretty easy imo. Pits were annoying.

So you were able to take and do today's quest without having finished yesterday's? I did yesterday's with all of mine, but if for some reason I get miffed and don't complete today's I'd like to know if I'll be able to do the next one(s). ??

As mentioned I also did them in any order, starting with Labyrinth and then Ice Wastes. If I had known in advance that I would need to end up at Ice Wastes then I would have left it til last.

Ho hum.

Died 3 times to rubber-banding, then 3 times to those blasted Bone Pits.

Can reach the Reaper every time, but then cannot get every single one with a 4 on the way out - always the pair after the bridge who survive, and the 2-3 seconds it takes to sprint passed them lets them lay Hexes which take my bar from full to zero.
No darn worse way to go than sitting watching Hexes expire as my last 50 Health counts down, invariably fatally.

I really want to get this ticked off for tomorrow, but can't go 5 minutes without swearing at the screen so maybe it's best I give up on festivities before festive spirit all used up.

Update: THANK YOU, SUGAR SHOCK. I'm ready for whatever fresh horror awaits tomorrow.

"upier: The quest is part of a chain/series, so you will need to do the first one before you can do the second one."

It feels like work to me. Not fun at all. Games are supposed to be for winding you down, not stressing you out.

would be nice if regina or wiki would say we have to do each one to get the next one. And if we do have to do todays to get the next one then anet failed big time.

"upier: The quest is part of a chain/series, so you will need to do the first one before you can do the second one."

She said it right on page 3.

Didn't like this one nearly as much as the first. Running to one point is fine, but running to 7, spread all accross the UW, is monotonous. The worst part is that, say you die on your way to the last one...you have to start ALL over again. I might finish this one on my main character, but won't do it on my others...for them, quest 1 was the end of the line.

I loved the second quest ... Pits is a bit tricky but easily doable if you time your skills right.

Where's the "rolleyes" simley?

Seriously, this quest is not difficult, it takes some thought and some time.
And this is a quest *SERIES*, it wouldn't make sense if you could just skip the quests you "don't feel like doing" or "can't do".
Let's see... *plays some other game* "Oooh getting this key to this dungeon door is too difficult... maybe I can just skip it and pick the quest line up once I'm supposed to be inside..." See? Makes no sense.
Of course you can do this one! In my opinion these quests so far are designed brilliantly, can't wait for the next one!
In the meantime, I'm gonna do this one on all my available toons. ^_^

Thanks Anet!

This just in: not everyone agrees with you.

^_^ So?

Just stated my opinion, and what makes sense to me. Whether people agree with me or not is their choice.

So this quest seems to be hit or miss, either you love it or you hate it. I'd be interested to find out if the people who hate it are UW veterans (and thus find this monotonous) and if those who love it are unfamiliar with the UW (and thus find this an easy way to explore).

I'm hoping that this marks a new direction for festival quests/games. Instead having us grind easy quests endlessly for a chance at a good reward, we have a super-challenging quest chain with (hopefully) good enough rewards that grinding it is unneccessary. It at least seems miles above farming grenches for candy canes or hunting down mini polar bears. I'm looking forward to how this plays out.

^^^this^^^

Long boring runs aren't fun to me and the bonepits are just stupid imo.
Would it be too much to have a heal in one of those empty skill slots rather than getting to watch your hp drain out because the 2 necros just outside of your aggro bubble didn't turn green like everything else on the radar did?

This would be better if they would just let us keep normal skill bars and clear the damn place.

End of halloween quests for me as I'm not playing this to get stressed out but rather to have fun.
THIS ISN'T!

no rolling eyes because its stupid. and it is difficult. and i didnt say thing about picking and choosing which ones i wanted to do. thank you for putting words into my mouth. and i went back and reread what regina said. when i saw the second part of the post i assumed i could pick up the next quest if i couldnt do/missed the one before that, so that was my mistake. and so sorry if we arent all good at stuff like you minami. *sigh*
