No big deal I guess since you get essentially free entry and pretty fast tot farming with every bit helps

Why can't I take "The waiting game"?
I never did it, never had it in my questlog, and wiki says there are no requirements, but the Mad King Steward only offers me the soloquests?

Because you need to complete the soloquests first.

Waiting for the new quests lol

Guess I should've clarified that although it is somewhat ironic seeing as there's an old quest with the same name

So still no sign of the quests yet, or am I just not able to find them?

Apparently they meant new quests October 25, 2011. Because the day is half over and no new quests.

BTW You didn't need to do the solo quests last year to get The Waiting Game. I didn't and still have that quest on several toons. I hate solo quests.

Intresting, its the 26th already in Europe and for most people in the US more then half the day is already over. New quests on the 25th? Intresting.

Don't start pointing fingers before the day has ended. It's still working hours (4 PM) in the west coast of the US and the any big update is normally released in an hour or two from the current time.

They said they'd deliver the 25th. That means they probably finish the job on the 25th. That means they probably do it just before they go back home. It makes sense.

I normally do not defend Anet, but pointing fingers at them already beforehand is getting ridiculous. Just be patient.

I wasent pointing fingers I was merely stating my opinion. Whats the point of a forum if one cant state his or her opinion? Dont like it, dont respond to it, simples.

Stumme has allowed the TK to state a little fact about this year's quests: They have to be put in manually and that is being worked on currently - along with a couple other things supposedly.

So much for automated events. I mean they've only had over 5 years to get it right.

In all fairness, I dont think you can automate new content.

EDIT: I have also seen updates as late as Midnite or 9pm eastern. So I dont think its over yet.

Not the first time it is put in, unless they put it in ahead of time (well ahead of time - i.e., before decorations).

Yeah, the area is probably tagged as a EoTN dungeon.

Kinda dumb imo. Getting EoTN soon, but hope they fix this "bug". Considering the area is 100% in old Tyria.

I got in and cleared the mausoleum. Just regular undead stuff but really AWESOME that we finally got to go in this place behind Rotscale!! I thought, "oh great, we have to beat Rotscale for this quest," but I didn't have any problems with him (that I remember from days gone).

Just wondering now, did I have to actually kill the mob outside and Rotscale? Has anyone just ran through them and gone through the door without killing them?

It is definitely an eotn dungeon. I've seen it when you could tour around the dungeons in slaver's exile with the portal jumping trick for some sightseeing. Also, drops in the mausoleum are inscribable.

No. You can run through them.
