Agreed. But an interesting way to provide extra rewards.

Although it does encourage automation.

Gill Halendt: Feel free to update it, GWW is written and maintained by the players.

chuckles79: I agree. I know it's Halloween today, but id they made it a day earlier, it would allow many ppl to come.

Agree completely. Iv got classes during the day, and as much as I love listening to the Mad King's jokes, I really can't miss class for them.

yeah sunday would have been better....lots of peeps work on monday/go to school/have rl obligations that just arent there on the weekends (and conversely I remember a bunch of peeps wishing that events would run during the week since all of their rl obligations ARE on the weekend).
but this is one of the few (only?) holiday that actually runs on the holiday itself....has since the beginning--we all knew it would be on halloweenday....

I stayed awake for the 1st 2 rounds (with both computers running--got one computer to keep the hax...couldnt type quick enough for the other)...then left myself afk so I could get a few hours of sleep----

will check out my other account to see if the gamer points are there later

You only need to play one instrument when he demands music, not all 4.

All instruments apparently have to be played among the players present, or he'll kill everyone. I had the same thing happen in a mostly afk district. Thorn complained about the lack of drums and killed everyone. (Can't remember his exact quote.)

yeah I remember a few years ago (06?) that me and one other person were the only non-afkers in the district...had to keep changing instruments.

I tried an experiment ...I kept my character in the same district (without moving) after a successful finale (got the extra bags and extra gamer points)...the hex stays with you-slowly ending, however, the next time the mad king showed up, and you kneel--it would restart....I am now seeing how long it takes for it to 'end' (was there for the last finale--and 7 hours later--still have the hex.

(was even picked for rps and won--and that round got an extra gamer point!)

Sagittario · Nov 01, 2011, 04:33 PM // 16:33

Have you gotten anything extra for having the hex from last time?

**cosyfiep** · Nov 01, 2011, 05:12 PM // 17:12

nope, as soon as you do 'kneel' again, it resets.....looks like the hex is going to last 12 hours (at 10 hours already and its almost gone).

edit: yep at 12:01 pm (anet time)..hex ended for a total of 12 hours.

I would like to thank the Anet team for this addition. I have moved on to other games, but I still play through the holiday events and new content. It was a nice treat. Thank You. See you on Wintersday! (or WoC part III if that comes first.)

**cosyfiep** · Nov 02, 2011, 12:32 AM // 00:32

gotta 2nd that nerfherder....getting another 300 or so gamer points this way was nice (since I am horrible at the 'games' that gives those points)...was nice to get something for being there and doing everything right--though I was very concerned when the mad king picked me (beat his butt

)....so yes thanks for the very nice addition
