Update - Thursday, October 27

When the moon rises high over Lion's Arch
And the wind moans through the most hollow of eves

Shutter your homes this holiday
Steer clear of the shadows
For on this night, they say,

A long-addled spirit returns from the grave
Pumpkin upon his head,
A wicked deed within his heart
A pint of witch's brew for all those who misbehave

Heed these words, all ye who dare enter here:
Bind your souls to the mortal realm
For the regent of madness draws near

Additional changes:

* Added options to toggle the display of helmets and guild capes.

* Added the ability for players to bind the Escape key to in-game actions.

* Added "Heal Signet" to the Priests of Balthazar.

* Corrected text description for skill "Order of Pain."

* Fixed skills "Battle Rage," "Edge of Extinction," "Illusion of Weakness," "Martyr," "Plague Signet," "Plague Touch," "Predatory Season," "Spinal Shivers," and "Thunderclap," which had portions of their functionality broken in last week's update.

* Fixed the order of removal for Condition, Enchantment, and Hex removal skills, which was broken in last week's update.

* Fixed collectors in The Catacombs, Skyward Reach, and Whitman's Folly.

* Fixed miscellaneous rare crash bugs.

Woohoo! Cool stuff.

" A long-addled spirit returns from the grave
Pumpkin upon his head,
A wicked deed within his heart

The poem makes me think, new enemy? quest? mission?

I too was thinking the poem described some form of new quest.

Asked Gaile in-game, but she either-
A) Missed the question
B) Won't reply
C) Is overwhelmed with questions and didn't have the time to.

Whatever the case, I hope there's something interesting other than graphical changes, though they are absolutely beautiful.

Wow... this is one more reason to get down on my knees and worship ANet. Very few companies will put in this kind of work simply for the payoff of seeing their customers' reactions, kudos to ANet for being one of them. Though this update is mostly aesthetic, it's one of the best so far in my book, and I can't wait to see what's in store for Christmas!

What I heard so far. There are new monsters called pumkin riders, outside LA a little ways. They are lvl 10 and they drop candy. I have yet to see them. Good hunting.

I doubt it. If there was any, It'd take quite some time to get there i suppose. I doubt anyone got that Far in the UW just after this update, which seems to have pleased most players.

:Poem Break Down:

"When the moon rises high over Lion's Arch
And the wind moans through the most hollow of eves

Shutter your homes this holiday
Steer clear of the shadows
For on this night, they say,

A long-addled spirit returns from the grave
Pumpkin upon his head,
A wicked deed within his heart
A pint of witch's brew for all those who misbehave

Heed these words, all ye who dare enter here:
Bind your souls to the mortal realm
For the regent of madness draws near"

On Halloween night, there will be a mission. Will be at the gate in LA that has a warp, but doesn't do anything. Will be the pumpkin head guy.
Referance picture

Post your other ideas, what you think this could be.

That picture will not depict reality because there is a ranger in the group.

On a serious note, i don't know what the riddle means. I'm hoping the brains can figure it out like they did with the Sorrows Furnace riddle.

Hopefully that "pumpkin" guy will drop some uber stuff for everyone but i doubt it.

Hey...maybe it's Rurik in disguise!!

The closest thing I can think of is Ordran (?), the wizard in the GW lore book who initially opened the gates to the HoH.

I also believe the pumpkin person will be Rurik.. Since he's missing it and all.. Anyway he needs a new head.. His decayed one is a bit old now.
