Costumes? Can someone explain to me the purpose of the costumes, and why I'd want to pay $10 for one?

I just started last week. Skill unlocks make sense, but I don't see the point in costumes?

There really isn't any other than wanting "that" look.

they can only be used in a town, right? Not in a PVE setting, and not in a PVP setting?

Can be used in PvE, not in PvP as far as I know.

I wish we could get Headmaster Quin's armor. I've wanted that armor ever since I started my rit and love it when I get that costume in the costume brawl.

That's a 'Canthan noble' type of armor. Like those worn by many ministers and the Jade Brotherhood.

I'd love if there was costumes for each and every single 'army' and group.

We have White Mantle and Shinning Blade.
But what about the Ascalon Armor, the Ebon Vanguard Armor the Zaishen/Imperial Guard armor, the Jade Brotherhood/CAnthan noble, the Am Fah, the Lionguard, or the Kournan?
There are also armors for Vabbian, Sunspear, Luxon and Krytan, but not costumes.
Imagine a full goth costume...
Well.. if you are more into hippies you'll favor the ragged appearance of the Luxon... I must admit I do like the bodypaint, but everything else...

Won't you like any of those! Don't tell me you won't love the Ebon Vanguard armor!

That armor is awesome, it can be worn by any profession... Assasins, Rangers, Elementalists...! It's like some kind of super-armor capable of withstanding Charr attacks and all kinds of weather and rough conditions.
And it doesn't hurt in the groin like many others!

Those who were wondering about the White Mantle Emblem trader being in or not; he is in Denravi and taking the emblems

It looks like those pumpkin heads have an animated aura around them. If so, make that two dozen cookies.
And I'll happily cover the cookie donations, having baked something several dozen yesterday XD

Oh thank you! I was in Denravi yesterday looking for him, and couldn't find him. I tried searching him up on Wiki and it said he was only present during the 06' Halloween. I thought I had been collecting these emblems for no reason!

Ive been pokin around GW.com and wiki etc, but havent seen anything related to quests. Does anyone remember when they rolled out last year?

Everything on Gw.com is just last years info. I searched halloween event 2010-halloween 2010 and just halloween for a general search and got zilch.

I do recall one of the devs in one of these topics saying the quests are coming later.
I believe the log in annoucnment was different last year so not just copypasta.

"A number of new quests will become available throughout the course of the events. " --- is in the game update notes.

Last year the quests came out 3 days after decorations went up. So I would start looking for them no sooner than Sunday afternoon.

I just wanted to say the new costume art is epic...

This will be the first costume set I buy. Good job Anet!



BTW, when does it go on sale? (or is it already on sale, I'm at work....)

Does anyone still have last years halloween quests in their logs? I've still not done the waiting game, and it appears you now get 250 ToT bags for beating it, didn't realise this had changed until I check wikia nd that says it gives 100 ToT bags.

It was definitely 100ToTs last year, i just finished them with my toons a few days ago.

I am happy that it'll be 250 this year if thats correct!!

I hope sure they don't remove "the waiting game" from people's logs though.

So much for the 2009 quests being unique.

Mines been 250 for a very long time though as i've been meaning to do it beforehand. I'm pretty sure they are unique quests though as this was something that actually changed guild wars with Dhuum etc.
Also "The waiting game" was mainly a tease for us waiting for something to actually happen and the previous quests wern't required to take it.

Yeah it will be disappointing if the quests are just last years quests, especially after all the hype about them being exclusive to the 2009 event.

Anyway where are the costumes? and for that matter the missing Halloween Info that the login page has been directing us to for two days now

Earlier poster is claiming he turned in the waiting game for 100 ToTs a few days ago. Are you absolutely sure?

As far as I remember those quests where a one off for that particular Halloween in 2009 from what Anet told us that year. Might want to double check that to be sure.

Get Minecraft, then you can look at other people's costumes in GW and play Minecraft.

Games > pixels or DLC in games


I still have Halloween 2009 quests in my logs on almost all of my characters on both accounts. Waiting Game is indeed listed as 250 ToT bags in the reward.

Minecraft is worth every penny, in my opinion. Good timing, too, as the next big update is coming on Halloween.

On topic: What did the latest update add? Neither the wiki or official update page are saying anything.

Waiting Game used to give 100 Tots - I only ever cashed it on 2 characters. That it now gives 250 is a change from the reward I got 2 months ago because it didn't used to give 250 Tot's.

Perhaps the missing CB map? cant see any changes, the costumes arent in and nether are any quests (which dont usually require an update anyway).

1. Check around, someone was offering help with that quest sometime in the last two months.

2. And the wikia-hosted wiki is in turmoil due to changes made by the host. That wiki is in the process of moving to a new host. The copy that is left behind on wikia is being vandalized by angry wiki members.

This is interesting. I'm currently in 2009 only UW instance of Don't Fear the Reapers quest. Click the image.



I can post further proof if requested, like a year 5 mini in inventory, or whatever.
