Another fine example of arenanet's lack of common sense.

Are you kidding, don't come down on them for this, like someone posted earlier, this could be the funniest thing they've done. Only thing I think could have made it funnier is if they had done it April 1st

Seriously.
I will be there soon to let the uninformed know, once again, that the quest will begin IN SIX MINUTES - JUST WAIT HERE - DO NOT MOVE OR YOU WILL MISS IT - IF YOU HAVENT WAITED LONG ENOUGH KNEELING BEFORE THE VOICE OF GRENTH, IT WONT START FOR YOU - and other such nonsense and jackassery. trust me it's much more fun.

Apparently the UW is full of skeletons now, more so than were there previously

This is bs, this quest not being part of the chain I mean. Would've weeded out people who couldn't even finish the 2nd quest. Ah well, at least I can take this quest on my lvl3 mules in Kamadan in case I'll play them for a good reward.
Azora
just think the reward could be cooler but watever

Lol
the Mad King's power has faded - we will need to use Grenths, which is strongest in winter
It's a wintersday quest - duh

okay the wiki page for the new quest confuses me. If the wait for quest is DAYS and the steward is leaving in a few DAYS does this mean we wont be able to get the reward? or am i just being silly? xD

Get the quest on all your chars. Then on the day he leaves or whenever we fight Dhuum we can probably hand it into someone else.

I hope that Dhuum is not in a non-repeatable quest. I want to fight him multiple times!
Divine Ashes
I think it would be pretty awesome if Anet took a page from Diablo 2's book in this case.
After enough enemies or skeletons or something similar have been killed in the UW, a mass pm states that "Dhuum stirs in the UW" or something similar, indicating that Dhuum is available to be defeated in the UW for a certain period of time. He might have a chance to drop a unique item, new item skin, mini, etc...or maybe a chest pops after killing him.
It would be a blatant copy of Diablo 2, but at least it would be fun.

What the dick, ANet. I am not pleased by this cliffhanger ending.

How long do you think it will be until A-Net figures out that wiki is a $hitty way to keep their fanbase up to date?

I really think Anet should use their announcement tab more.

Might be a bit off topic but all this dhuum stuff made me dig into lore and wiki. It is said that "Known followers of Dhuum include the Terrorweb Dryders, Tortureweb Dryders, Riders of Dhuum, Skeletons of Dhuum and the Emissaries of Dhuum." Makes me wonder do aatxes serve anyone? Aaxtes are nightmares.
From wiki
"Nightmares, also know as Shadows, are creatures that seem to come from The Mists and look like they are made out of shadows, mist or darkness.
Although it is known that most servants of Menzies are nightmares (with few exceptions like the traitorous Eternals, who are ghosts, and the Darknesses, are suspected to be demons), it is not known if all nightmares serve Menzies."
I can understand purpose of ghostly types (mindblades , dream riders,smites etc) ,abominations, skeletons and others... but aatxes seem neutral, they just wander the labyrinth (minotaurs reference) and do not share aggro with skeletons...
Kinda nerdy... but meh i love the lore :P
Edit: Also what would Menzies and Dhuum do? Till recently they've been aiding abaddon with realm domination and stuff... makes me wonder what will they do next. I think we will find out that in gw2. (I don't think we'll see dhuum destroyed in gw1, only sealed again maybe)
Also if there was disscusion on this, can someone please pinpoint, i would love to read any speculation on this topic. I've tried search and failed, cause i can't use search.

Dunno really where it is leading in the story, but my guess is the quest is going to open up that area behind the Ice King in the halloweenquests...That area has been sitting useless for a long time now (maybe there is a quest reated otherwise, im not sure), but it seems logical that they would open the door behind the ice king since that is where the ice king was and he spoke of the door behind him. Maybe? who knows

Ooh. Cool. Hurry it up.

I don't mind the cliff hanger much, but in the mean time I already grabbed the quests on my characters.

I still find it weird and funny that the reward also include ToT bags.
and I still think the 5th quest was supposed to happen "During" Halloween and something went wrong in the coding.
Skellys /no skellys/Skellys again and the diapering Steward.
Oh well guess if we have to wait we have to wait.

As for this being discussed - there isn't a specific thread, but among one of the three lore forums (two I've pointed to, the third is on the GWO site here), I'm sure it has been discussed. Dhuum seems like as popular a topic on GWO as the Elder Dragons are on the GW2Guru lore forum.

I hope he busts through those doors.. I remember when the game released- I used to go back there with my monk and bag of hot ectos and wonder wth that room was put in for
be so cool if you walk in there.. and then the doors bust open and he's like on roids- sweeps around the room like prince with a big scythe and all noobs die instantly.. then us vets get the enchant strip treatment and he smashes all sprits
then you end up in forgotten vale and all you hear is the mayor say.. great another noob! (and you de-level to 19) then I come in vale farming and save you
