For some strange reasons, all the Quests under the Festival Events tab in Log were recently removed as part of post-Halloween clean up build. Please revert and restore all the quest with their correct status flag (especially Waiting Game which can be completed in UW anytime during the year without special NPCs).
Thanks A-NET!
PETITION = Please at least bring back the "Waiting Game" quest!!!
Please support by signing below....
Petiton "Waiting Game" restore! (part of Festival Events removed from Quest Log)

Taking away all the quests was the only way they could stop players from going into the monoleseum and getting bugged weapons with extra mods.
They didn't take away your quests in an evil attempt to ruin your fun.

It seems most people are upset due to the removal of "The Waiting Game" quest, which could be done and redeemed after Halloween was over. To solve this, they should just place a temporary NPC to allow you to obtain only this quest.

Hey...
I like that idea (see my "suggestion" @ http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/t...t10457651.html ) for NPC just giving out the "Waiting Game" quest! Maybe can combo.. please go over and sign that as well. Thanks!

I fail to see the problem here. We knew when Halloween was going to end...This is a Halloween quest...that gives Halloween rewards. Weather the reward accepting NPC is special or not, I don't see why we need this.
Mine was taken away but it's my own fault I didn't turn it in in time...

I think you are missing the point ajc, most of us had the quest from last year, we had no notice it would disappear. It is not strictly a halloween quest as it could be done at any time during the year.

While having it back would be nice, I believe it was removed because this year it was to be Halloween specific only. Which is why, at least why I think they increased the Trick or Treat bags reward from 100 to 250. Last year was 100, this year was 250, so I think they intended for it to end after Halloween. While notice may have been nice, they technically can say nothing and get away with it, which is what they did.
In short, be upset, but it was intended to be completed during Halloween, they did not have to announce that it would be unavailable. Sorry if you all disagree, but this is how I took it. I had 5 characters with it, and I am a little sad that I cannot complete it anymore, but I at least look at the other side of the coin

Anything that gets more title points into the game is great on my watch... with the population shrinking the price of points has to be kept down.

/Signed return the Waiting Game quest
The quest is entitled the WAITING game. We waited to collect it after the event was over and then it was gone. If they were going to remove it then something should have been said so we could cash it in

I guess I am just repeating the point made many times already. It was a Halloween quest, all the other holiday related quests end when the festival is over why should this one be any different. If you want to say "oh well last year it didn't" that is simply because last year it was part of something larger, a build up to a new UW boss (Dhuum). This year was simply a re-enactment.
I myself had it on 6 characters but it was a risk I took as farming every little bit helps was easier to get done, I am sure the majority of people who had it removed were doing the same thing trying to maximize their take during the event and then cashing in on the waiting game after the event.
You gambled, the house won, its gone; deal with it and stop whining.

/notsigned. Get over it. You should have done it during Halloween. It was a Halloween quest, not an all year quest.

/signed....I liked the incentive to actually DO the uw....now I have zero and without groups that do it NON SPEED CLEARING, hopes of getting it finished again ZERO.
dont understand why they could not just change the mausoleum so that if you tried to get in you are transported back to the outpost (like the bug that happened to peeps who didnt have eye).....would have been the best solution.
(not to mention over wintersday I did some of the wintersday quests and the ones I did not complete then were removed with OUT removing my waiting game quest)

There's no reason to remove it, especially since most of us still had it from 09 when it first came out.

Signed, and all the guys saying its a haloween get over it have no idea what they talking about.
Even tho they removed ta and hb, I still got the ta zaishen combat quest.
That makes their argument of removing it flawed.

The only reason I can see is if you completed the quest but didn't turn it in in time. Zaishen Quests are year round, not a festival event, even if they removed TA. Keeping it in wouldn't give you any extra time to complete the quest, really. If you didn't do the ZQuest before TA was removed, you'll never complete it so it's a useless quest sitting in your log. If you did do the ZQuest before it was removed but didn't turn it in, you still don't get any extra TA chances. You just get to turn the quest into a quest giver that's a part of the year-round game. Whereas if you complete the Waiting Game, you get 250 ToT bags that are exclusive to a certain festival in the game that is only available for a certain period of time in the game. Not to mention we'd have to have a random Halloween NPC sitting around.
So, completely different situation there.
Like someone else said earlier, you took a gamble. :/
Coast
Still, theres no reason to remove quests even when the event is over

FYI.. I have opened an official Incident ticket with Support as well as posted item on Gaile gray to get involve for assistance in at least determining whether this was an accident (something that can be fixed) or it was intention (and if so, why?). That way we can at least get an answer and see if any hope this is addressed. Thanks for everyone's support!
Surge goes pre
Lol this quest is the least of Anets worries right now. Let it go. The only reaso you all want it back is for one lousy tot stack. Let Anet focus on their problem of triples without QQing over 25k...

Last time the quest wasn't removed after Halloween because Dhuum wasn't implemented into the game yet at Halloween. That's why it is called the Waiting Game.
This time Dhuum was killable at Halloween, so I have come to believe the removal of the quest was intended, like happens with the other festival quests.
Wouldn't mind if the quest was restored though, it's just that I don't care one way or the other.

I understand why it was removed, but it would be nice to be able to get it back to do at any time, just as we could when it was offered last year.

I don't understand what makes this quest so special to people... is it the stack of Trick or Treat bags it gives you as a reward? That'd be kinda pathetic.

The holiday is over. If you had the quest, should of done it during that entire time the event was going on, instead of holding it to the end and then being shocked that the event is over and now your quest is gone.
It was a Halloween only quest. Who cares what happened last year? That was last year. This is THIS year. You thought you could keep the quest, you couldn't. Oh well, move on. It is just a quest.

Becos the quest reward can be gotten from a non-Helloween only NPC, the quest can be done all year then.
As mentioned, it may attrackt more players (like me) to try UW, also becos killing Dhuum is not required for completing The Waiting Game quest !!!

Even though the "Waiting Game" may have just been a victim of a sweeping change implementation, I have gotten reply from support that it was not a bug or mistake to remove all the Festival quest but Dev team intentional to make them limited to only seasonal time. So upon their recommendation, I have now submitted the request to keep this as a year-round quest into the Feedback portal on wiki as suggestion @ http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Feedb...le_year-round! ; please consider reviewing and commenting with support if you agreed & miss this UW quest. Thanks!
