Yay. I got a fright at the suggestion that it was no longer repeatable. I was using Every Bit Helps as:

a) A risk-free opportunity to make a Legendary Survivor... and I was only half done by the end of last night.

b) My ToT bag farm - Easily 320+ per hour, which is double what I get from Vaettir farming

Bug Fixes

* Fixed a bug that prevented male Dervishes from dyeing their Lunatic Court Finery.
* Reset quest completion status for 2009 Halloween quests.

Am I the only one who noticed this? The big Dervish update has finally arrived that so many have been waiting for and people are only noticing new Quests?

EDIT: in 3 Months the big Ele Update will hit live. i got a sneak preview of the changes;

* Fixed a bug that made the female Elementalists look like they disslocate their shoulders while using the /Dance Emote.

An other epic update showing lazyness and no thinking :
- Sure there are new quests , but seriously , no scenario , no fun doing it , not original reward ..
- Removal of 50 tot bags for winning in gvg apparently , while quest is still repeatable in PvE, epic logic

In other words , if you are a hardcore PvE farmer gg , if you are not bb

They seemed strangely coherent if anything to me. I expected complete oddballs. They've got nothing on Malkavians.

If that's really all for the quests... pretty blah. There was way too much playing a standard map with one little objective change. It would have been nice if they reflected Halloween a little more too. I mean yes undead are horror-related but it felt like they were taking it a little too literally for a holiday quest line. Also no Lunatic Court instance...

I guess Guild Wars Beyond is going to overshadow this kind of content though and make it look weaker.

I actually got laughs out of these quest dialogues, they were reasonably designed without any stupid mobs(people whined about Rotscale but he's a pansy) and I actually got to do them with my girlfriend. WAY better than last year's. Good job fellas, Live Team really seems to have gotten it together recently.

I thought the dialogue was great! I don't understand why people complain about the festival quests. They are meant to be mini-quests. Just a little fun around the holiday.

Screwed my self on the chests (dragons... find the coffin quest) No lockpicks in inventory (I am an idiot) 3 of them spawned too

. I was not expecting the large groups but my mesmer shined (Panic Chaos Storm Ether Nightmare Cry of pain) At one point it was just me and the candy corn boys and a few minions that went AWOL. Great quest fun and unexpected. (smite crews should have a great time on this one)

LOL the crazy quest rewards have ruined selling ToTs. I'll have to figure something else to do with them. The amount of people selling stacks in LA is crazy.

How'd you do it ?

I think more than anything for me it was that we finally get access to the mausoleum, which people have been fixating on since 2ØØ5 and yet it ends up being so... trivial.

I'll take a guess and say he didn't have the quest.

Does he have EoTN? Since the Mausoleum is a EoTN dungeon, if you don't have EoTN I think you'll get that error.

You know I'm not sure if he does have EoTN on the acc he was playing on. That would explain it, thanks. Still..you should not have to have EoTN to take part thats silly..not everyone has EoTN.

'Oh heres some halloween quests..even though Halloween isnt celebrated in the EoTN ..you still need it to do the quests sorry'..GJ.

Oh Well

Well, I can understand the feeling and disappointment in not being able to do certain things. However, a complete Guild Wars as a whole is all of the campaigns and EotN. We know that they've limited cross campaign material to prevent such issues with pretty much just the Black Moa hunt covering all the campaigns. To be honest I would like it if they didn't segregate the campaigns and expansion as much as they choose to. There are some neat, fun things that could have been done had they allowed themselves more freedom in crossing 'boundries.'

I liked the new quests very much; thanks, Anet.

Can't believe we finally got to go inside Rotscale's tomb.

If anyone is haveing problems in the Rotscale Area there is a bug~ well not sure if it is a bug, but you can get 6 candy corn Necros. Run to Rotscale from the Wild out post. When you zone into his zone you get three. Then run to little dock down by the rez shrine it is close enough to activate. Then if you die you will rez there and three more will pop up. I did this by accident. When you enter the temple they do dissapear and you only get three.

if anyone is having problems in the rotscale area, just run past him and enter the mausoleum. Of course, every pug I've been in (done this on a half dozen toons) already knew this.

) ...but it'd easily be fixed if they just made his minions into a real threat you'd actually need to put in Stasis instead the little yappy ankle biters they currently are. ...that, and making Rest a bit less binary or maybe even redundant if more than 1 person is chain casting it.
