Halloween 2011
The leaves have turned. The air is chill.
Spectral fiends do what they will.
We light a candle, draw the shades,
And hope it's just the light that fades.
Can ancient bonds still hold back doom?
Is there no everlasting tomb?
Should we help break the Mad King's yoke?
Are we a punchline in his joke?
Let's robe ourselves in others' guises,
Dodge the tricks, and seek out prizes,
Risk our souls for passing fame,
And pray that this is just a game.
Halloween Events
* Preparations have been made for Halloween 2011.

The in-game store and NCsoft online store show the male Ravenheart Witchwear Costume in black. We will change these images to reflect the default color--orange, but we do not have an ETA on when those store images will be changed. Like all costumes, they can be dyed. We're sorry about the confusion that the store images may cause.
EDIT: The Witchwear costume when purchased in-game is currently defaulting to black. However, this default color will change to orange when the next update goes live--which should be later today.

Breaking news: Costumes for Halloween 2011 are almost immune to clipping.
Shame they forgot to translate their names properly but hey, at least they look great.
EDIT - no, wait, just kidding. Clipping as usual.

I really like the looks of the Vale Wraith costume, so I'll probably end up picking up the costume pack sometime later today.
A new challenge mission sounds very interesting as well. Looking forward to seeing what that is.

Im pretty sure they are talking about Dhuum not Mad King.

Costume Brawl, woohooo
StormDragonZ
I've secretly always wished that they'd let Rats and Ooze run rampant around Lion's Arch again for Halloween, similar to how it was when Eye of the North started.
Nonetheless, how bad is the clipping?

Bug: the decorations cause Loremaster Ermenred to no longer be in Lion's Arch.

They ruined the wraith. Fortunately the original version on one of my toons hasn't changed. Still looks dark and spooky not that horrible bright green my other toons got stuck with.

I haven't got mine yet so I just took happy snaps of random ppl. Sorry I couldn't find a female Ravenheart outfit.
Hope it helps.

as always, i am highly impressed with the quality of the costumes. Its too bad anet isn't willing to add them as new armor skins instead (or use the resources that they are using on costumes to product new armor skins).

Anyway, the costumes look ok I guess. I bought the first bunch of sets prior to the wedding outfits, but I think I'm done giving ANet my money for "fluff". They should think about using some of their resources to address some long-standing annoyances like all the clipping problems - I'm looking at you Paper Fan (among others).

They should have named these Dhuum and Gloom costumes!
I especially like the dhuum-y one. Would be nice if the character floated rather than walked with the invisible legs but that's probably a major programming feat.

Clipping seems to be minor in the wraths costumes when breating, specifically:
Females- Left hand clips when breathing
Males- Patch above right breast
- Chain on left hand
Here's a more colorful version of the ravenheart outfit:

Dye the male version of the Ravenheart costume red.
Instant pirate costume.

these costumes look odd
am i the only one noticing awfully striking similarities between the shining blade garb/ grenths regalia/these costumes?
although if i wanted to dress my char up as a mariachi member i guess the ravenheart would be mucho bueno.
