Top hats, you say?

HARUMPH!

That would be great if it also came with an optional monocle. I'm sure my main War would look brutally fancy running around in an Elite Gladiator and Mr. Peanut set.

Is it possible that maybe Emperor Kisu is getting married and that Keiron might still be lost for a while.

To me it seems like the Emperor getting married would be a great way to start GW:Beyond in Cantha.

Well...there is already a monument to him in Tahnnakai Temple. Maybe we could bring some stuff to his monument and his spirit is summoned.

Also, his spirit could bless his brother's wedding if my theory about Kisu being the one to get married is true

OMG it reminds me of a small fanfic involving my characters that i made where My main gets married to another but then the wedding there is trouble.
I imagine them saying about does anyone object to the marriage then there being a battle...but one can dream.

I like how the Mad King hasnt neccessarily wanted to come back on his own but more of the lunatic playing up. People think Shiro again because the canthan crisis but theres also the Lich too i suppose. I dont think Mad King will come back and never really did as it would make halloween less special and the whole kind of automated process of him playing his games would seem like a wasted effort.

Maybe Rurik...
ORRRR TOGO!!!! That would be fantastic, ghostly togo ritualist would fit in so nicely but then again Togo's in the mortal realm.

I've also stated that because of the original costume icon there should be a top hat and suit available for smart occasions and its about time they did. Aww SUITTT UP

I wonder if Pyre will go to Gwen's wedding... Or would that be awkward?

Veeerrrryy interesting. I believe the returning character will have to be one tied to Tyria. After all, he does say:

"They have been acting independent of the Mad King in an attempt to free him, but their plans may be attracting the attention of someone else who would like to return to Tyria..."

So I think Shiro and Togo are out on this one.

I especailly like the insight into the game mechanics about why masks aren't dyable and how helmets differ from dervish hoods..quite fascinating.
The final paragraph is very interesting as it gives the intention that the costumes they are making for wintersday will come..AFTER the wedding has taken place and that the wintersday ones would probably be for the other gods. Also...What is Gwens surname? OMG just had an idea...maybe Gwens mum will be returning
edit: Distilledwill, the planet is also called Tyria so it could be anyone thats died really.

You do realize that "Tyria" is also the name of the world, right?

As for the guys, I think all you need to know is "top hats."
I think I just tinkled a little out of sheer excitement but I do hope there is a version for the female chars too as not to leave anyone out!

while reading the article this stuck out for me

Quote:
Oh and as a bit of insight (because I know there was some debate about it): the two of us came up with those festival hats while trying to build the 40 model sets for the store.
What the hell is that ^ 40 model sets? Where when and omg what and why?

We were just talking about a lich with the mad court. You know, like the vizier of Orr who would surely love to return to Tyria. As mentioned in the article, the Canthan stuff and the Madcap are completely unrelated, that's why they introduced it with halloween so it was made clear.

Quote:
with their introduction, we wanted to set a story in motion that we could add to over the year without needing to be associated with the other content coming down the line, such as Keiran's return, and Cantha: Winds of Change.

Watch it be "The Frog (he/she has not been seen/ heard of in a long time" or Kormir (a mortal who once roamed tyria but became a god).

"The Frog" would more than likely come for the wedding though I think. or watch it be Gaile Gray return for one more time for old sakes though this is unlikely.

10 professions * 2 sexes * 2 costumes

Personally, I'm a big fan of the costumes that Stumme's team produced for Halloween, and I'm very excited to see what they churn out for these next events.

I don't really care about the hero, by the way, unless he is accompanied by six friends at the same time .

But...the frog is still around. He just doesn't talk anymore.
He's in LA by the storage chests on the hill and also in Wizard's Isle guild hall. I'm pretty sure theres a few other places, just can't remember them right now.

So, a wedding before Wintersday, hmmm. And a name for the Canthan content. Two nice tidbits on top of the great info about designing the costumes. THANK YOU for the link.
