The Waiting Game
Wyndy
Has there been any news on the quest?
Covah
nope or else we would know by looking in the halloween quest thread. It will also be announced over GW just like the dragon festival.
Bob Slydell
So this quest has not really been completable by anyone yet, and yet you can't even if you do? I bet you have to wait till Halloween 2010 LOL.
Eragon Zarroc
Trust me, if any new info of this quest shows up, there will be a couple new threads popping up about it ;-)
Voltaic Ectoplasm
maybe the quest is doable towards wintersday when grenth + dwayna appear?
no-one knows :P

I'm still kinda hoping something happens this friday the 13th...

Regina said when this quest first came out "Don't camp here over night waiting. It will be a few days not a few hours." She didn't say weeks or anything so hopefully its sometimes this week.

I think we'll see GW2 before we see the end of this quest -_-

someone had an idea about a global meeter that counts the number of dead skeletons in uw and when its high enough it releases the quest.
he though it had something to do with that they had to see if there was speedclears to counter the update and since not many now not even looks at uw its gonna take years.
allthough this is weird since i cant recall any global killcount before?

It would have made sense because:
1) It would have been a few days
2) We'd be facing the big bad Dhuum on Friday 13th
...the list goes on.
To quote myself: "It would have made sense". Now, how did you ever believe ArenaNet would do such a thing?

Has this thing ended?
Or is it still in limbo, and none of us can join in on the *PHUN*?!?

noone knows what is going on. The only 2 things we do know are:
1. Anet seriously screwed this thing up in several ways
2. CR is yet again sorely lacking

No, the quest hasn't ended, and there hasn't been an update on it.

Typical of Anet. No resolution in sight and no word on it at all. /fail

Umm...... the quest is called "The Waiting Game." Read that name carefully. Did you do it? Ok now read it again, but this time switch on your brain before doing so. Yep, you're supposed to wait. Who knows how long, but it has been what, a week or something? Probably they're still working on it or something, so just be patient.
As for CR being lacking, Regina said specifically we'd have to wait at least a matter of days. As for Anet screwing things up in several ways... that just sounds like a "wahhhhhh muh UWSC doesn't work anymore!! wahhh!!"

Might be a hint as to what we need to do, or if it's complete or not. >.>

In my opinion I just think its an excuse there to keep the skeletons in Underworld for a little bit longer so they can think of ANOTHER way to permanently keep skeletons without screwing up anything else.
Because if you cant do the quest, then they wont go away amirite?

I've tried doing UW in NM with a me and my gf, using various discorders, sabs, raceways, our own builds and the skeles that patrol aren't a problem, it's the stupid RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing missions that require you to protect the reaper or another npc from two directions, or a spawn or 20-30 nuker spiders....With skeleton that spawn when you pick up the quests.
Checking wiki doesn't help, it doesn't even mention skeletons actually spawning in when picking up the quests, running over to the npc(s) and killing them.
We managed fourhorsemen once, by bring a perma hero and flagging him on one side, way to go, good mission design. Failed on servents of grenth, due to skele spawning outside of aggro and running off to kill the spacky npc.

My pet theory: Dhuum needs more deaths in the UW to become strong enough to bust out. In other words, as soon as a new UWSC becomes prevalent (eg. the rate of end chest opening exceeds a certain value)... then we will see a new nerf (Dhuum), and the end of the quest :-D :-D

Waiting for a sign, a hint to GW2 or anything like that?
Or am I too optimistic..

I've had this quest in my quest log for the last 2 years while waiting for a decent update. Not expecting a quest complete anytime soon.
sykoone
Realistically, Anet is probably evaluating how people are farming/clearing the underworld so that they only need to do one more update. I think if they find that speed clears have dropped significantly enough, and normal playing and basic farming is still viable, they'll release the end of the quest without any major changes. But if the skeletons haven't sufficiently nerfed the speed clears, they'll probably add a few more changes to the end quest before releasing it.

Being that the prize is ToT bags, I've a horrible feeling we'll be waiting til Oct. 2010

From wiki:
Notes
* The waiting time is a couple of weeks. How long exactly is unknown.
* Completion of the other Halloween 2009 quests isn't necessary.
* The Mad King's Steward has left Lion's Arch and Kamadan. This means you can no longer obtain this quest.

Maybe this is the endquest to stop Dhuum, we will destroy ourselves and the story of GW1 ends here. To keep him in chains, we must give up our lives. Thus is how it ends for GW1.
GW2 starts with our legacy in the form of decendants etc.
So we can't complete this quest, till GW2 is in the final stages of development or something like that.
I also like the theory that they are waiting till some new UWSC becomes the meta of the game and lots of things start dying again in UW. Then Anet does the ultimate nerf in the form of Dhuum, a former god with the powers of a Base Defender. A.k.a. unable to clear UW at all.
Or we have to wait untill Christmas and Grenth appears in the real world, and therefor weakening his grip in the UW.
