Thanks Dev's.

Some great new features as well as the halloween eye candy. Got used to the halloween theme now. Will be a shame when it goes.

Love it! I don't think I could ever say I was burnt out on Guild Wars, but this fun little weekend did perk up some excitement! It's like a vacation with in a vacation. I've noticed my whole guild on more, and everyone's just having fun getting halloween items and sync dancing in town.

And thank you so much for the toggle helm/capes option!! I wanted the cape option so much for my mes! She looks awesome!

Great design! Great humor! Love the candy corn henchies!! It's all been very fun! Thank you!!!

thank you, devs!!! the cities look absolutely amazing, I don't think any other game that I know of, has gone into such detail for a holiday before. ghosts, graves, skulls in the sky, changed NPCs, and a live event..

I could only imagine the artists and designers had a lot of fun preparing it, and it shows. Great work, I kinda wish it could stay for the whole month! But makes me look forward to the future events all the more. GO DEV TEAM, and Happy Halloween to all of you!

I wish I saw this thread to be one of the firsts to reply but I was busy the whole weekend enjoying the game.

Great job and I just love it. Everything about the atmosphere and the feeling is great, it make us feel like one big family

I cannot wait to get off work and get my helmet.

Thanks to ArenaNet for a wonderful update. The new graphics, NPC's, and surprises are a welcome addition to an already enjoyable game.

I particularly enjoy the Lion's Arch changes with the giant cauldron and the talking corpses (I tried to Restore Life, really I did!).

All this and no monthly fee, that's a winning combination.

I do wish we could get a couple of extra days on the changes. I'm pretty busy with real life activities during this time and don't have much time to play. But the rest of my week after tonight (10/31) looks great for a little gaming relaxation.

Eagerly awaiting other holiday surprises and Chapter 2,

Thank you to everyone at ANet who took part in creating this wonderful event for us! The cities look absolutely amazing. The detail that went into creating the atmosphere is top-notch. The moon in Tombs in particular is very spooky!

Thanks again to all the developers and everyone else at ArenaNet. Great fun in an already amazing game!

Thanks so much for all the fun stuff. It made me feel like a kid again, my husband thinks I've lost it completely after seeing my ranger dancing on the boat last night at Lion's Arch. He did go out with me and Mr Giant Candy Corn though, so I've got that going for me.

The mad king's games were fun, as terrible as his jokes may have been.

Absolutely beautiful update. I have so many screenshots now that it's silly. I loved the moons, I love the clouds, I love the collectors items, I love the pumpkin hat, I love the talking corpse, I love the open graves, I love the floaty ghosts, I love the candles everywhere... I just love the art team, period. Everywhere I looked in the two big capital cities, there were tiny little touches everywhere. A skull in a pot, different emblems on the trader flags, witty commentary from NPC locals, et cetera...

I've never seen a MMO that put this kind of care into the holidays. So much love from me.

Thank you all so much for this guys! Not many games have had me addicted from the start, but I've gotta hand it to you....Guild Wars has!

The Hallowe'en special was fantastic and really showed that you are thinking about the gaming experience for all of us!

Three cheers...

hehe... AWESOME job Anet. Good use of all your current content as well as new content to keep things fun and interesting until the new chapter arrives. This was just a lot of fun. Kept me in game almost the entire weekend.

I had posted way eariler in this thread about giving us a collectable or special quest, I had obviously spoken to soon as you all continued to roll out more "tricks or treats."

Any group that would unleash bone dragons and psycho-pyro gwens on their beta testers was sure to not forget any details for a weekend Halloween Event.

Just simply fantastic!

Ever since it's initial release in Europe I have enjoyed this game much more than anything else.

There were times that when the builds come up, they often crash (some of you can remember it's first crash upon it's first update), but in a matter of minutes or hours the servers are sorted out.

Also, the challenge of the nerfing and enhancements to skills also makes me believe that you do need SKILL. And that is what is apparent in this game. Topping it off, some of the best graphics for an RPG are notable on the mid/top range Nvidia and ATI cards.

Thank you guys! Now make something even better for us... HIGHER DAMAGE WEAPONS!!!

Oh my God, I love you Dev's, didn't even expect this kind of action or presentation. I thought it was gonna be some what boring -- only having an art etc entry contest for the website!! BOY WAS I WRONG!!

Hats off to ArenaNET, You have my undivided attention as always for all future updates!!!!!!
