Well, starts tommorow, no information though on guildwars.com yet as stated from log-in screen. Should be fun to see what new content is available this year.

Are the dates set in stone or could they postpone starting it closer to actual Halloween?

The actual event of Mad King coming isn't until the 31st. Decorations and Costume brawl start this weekend.

Its about right on time, so don't expect them to postpone it unless something crazy happens.

I do hope the brawl skill-bars are pretty sweet (again) this year.
The most fun festive mini-game imho.

If anyone is interested in teaming up for Costume Brawl, private message me.

EDIT: Actually, I have a thread for it in the PuG forum, post your in-game name there. That's much easier.

Some new things come for GW around the time of every Halloween.

Last year was Dhuum.
Hard Mode was another thing.

I wonder what will be this one.

....a new costume!!!


I am looking forward to at least one new mad king joke (since that is probably about all they had the time to do)

would love to do the costume ball, but since I have never tried it would be a complete waste of my time (and I dont like getting NOOOB! yelled at me...so doubt I will even think about it)....

yes what will the mask be this year?????

Well, then....shit.

I always get my hopes up for CB. If they messed it up, I won't have much of a reason for playing this Halloween (other than GvGs and the like).

The most I'm hoping for is decorations on Thursday, then the actual quests, brawl, and NPCs arrive on Friday. But it would be nice to get the brawl rolling early.

Going to enjoy the Costume Brawl all the time i can, whatever the builds are, unless there are some new quests worth taking a break from the arena. No farming planned.

+ Kormir ( most hated npc in gw )
I understand Elder Rhea (didn't wanna hand over the spear and forced us to fight), but why you wanna harm Danika?

It doesn't appear as though any of the changes that we've worked on have made it in. I don't know what the reason for this is, but I've informed the Krewe.

ok, i was wondering. I took a look at the builds and was like "these look awefully familiar". Then I check last year's halloween archive on wiki... and they are the same builds from last year. I certainly hope that anet decides to impliment those changes because my paragon was thoroughly disappointed in the build in 09.
