Awesome work, ANet! Makes me feel like a kid again. Keep it up!
P.S. A suggestion for Thanksgiving and Christmas: A giant turkey boss that drops pilgrim armor, and Santa and eight reindeer bosses that drop either antlered helms or Santa suit armor.

A big thanks to the Dev team for the Halloween content!!

An ever bigger thanks for the treat of cape and helm toggles. I wasn't expecting this until chapter 2 and I was impressed. Just a big "THANKS!!"

That's 'cause they don't need one. If someone needs to come online and explain what's coming up to keep people happy...... well, I won't ruin the happy buzz.

Love the Rikku though

Damn, they should permanently switch a candy corn golem into the necro henchman slot or at least switch the skill sets.

THANK YOU DEV TEAM!! Wow, if there was one thing that I wish you could do, is at least make the Absinthe permanent. I keep getting Stone Summit badges and I never know what to do with them cause I can't just keep getting collector's items forever and just selling them for gold... bah. It'd be nice to set myself on green fire every once in a while.

And maybe if it IS made permanent, maybe variations on the effect based on Class... like getting swirly green leaves around you, swirly skulls, green fairy wings, feathers, swirling fire and motion lines (each to a respective class).

But yeah, that's just my two cents. The Halloween update has been A BLAST!

PS; I love the Mad King Guards.

What wonderful Halloween eye-candy you've given us! The moons, the clouds, the water, the ghosts, and my personal favorite, the Mad Kings' Guard. A guildie and I loaded up a full party of them and went out and kicked some righteous byootox all over N. Kryta right in time for my wife to get home, look at my monitor and ask "What... the hell... are those? Are those ... candycorns?"
"Even better, they're candy corn necro's!"
"You haven't been sniffing DraNo again, have you dear?"
"Nope, because you can see 'em too! Halloween update!"
And she logged in and we went our merry way spreading Halloweeny goodness to the little boys and girls.
Things like this, and the fact that you actually listen to us, are what's earned GW my Game of the Year nomination. As someone mentioned earlier, you guys are +10 to Customer Relations and I greatly look forward to see what you do for Christmas. Antlered Charr, tinsel or candy-cane golems, Sandy Claws the two-headed Christmas Hydra. Droknar's would be the perfect Satan's... Santa's, sorry, Workshop, especially with the dwarves as elves.
The ONLY critique I have is to echo someone's earlier mention that Ascalon City deserves the same make-over.
As well, a huge thanks for the cape/helm toggle.
And please ignore the gimme-tards... the ones for whom nothing is good enough.

Can we have more options, like "Show Only in Towns and Outposts" for example (cause thats the only time I'd want my cape to show on some of my characters).
Yeah I felt this option was missing as well.

Excellent work, it is much appreciated! My fav is the 'Transformed Tengu' ^_^_^_^
