I've received a number of questions about whether you will see a conclusion to the Dhuum-released Halloween quest content. Yes you will, but I cannot say when and how...

Translation:
There were some major implementation problems with the last quest, and because of it, you may or may not see the conclusion at some unforeseen time in the distant or near future (XTH). And, I might know of when we plan to have it fixed, but I'd rather not say because its unlikely we'll actually have it done by then.

EDIT: I know Anet has been really transparent lately, but obviously not enough. It's kind of sickening to have to read between the lines to that degree.

Regina are you sure this isn't just a dangling carrot to make people play again? Log-in to GW every day now, we swear the one-time only super special event is coming annnnny day!

While Dhuum may not appear tomorrow, it appears that the next(!) quest will be tomorrow, instead of probably today or yesterday.

Lol was goingto post something along them lines too when I read it.
We messed up but can't tell the players lts take the steward away and wait it out.

One reason why I think it was definitely bugged was you could still take the 4th quest BUT the skelys were gone
so there was NO way you could complete it and you just wasted 1k or a passage finding that out
unless someone told you or you read it on one of the forums.

So do the mobstoppers still work or what?

They do, but you cannot turn them in for a quest. I doubt the fourth quest will be available when the Steward returns tomorrow, however, I wouldn't doubt being able to turn the quest in. Unless it is a different NPC by programming, but same by lore/name/looks.

Mr. Undisclosed · Nov 03, 2009, 08:09 AM // 08:09

Pretty fail but its what I've come to expect. Just give us a freaking date for the last quest, really uncool just saying we'll get an end quest one of these days.

Minami · Nov 03, 2009, 01:11 PM // 13:11

Thanks Regina. It's still vague, but better then nothing.

BenjZee · Nov 03, 2009, 04:14 PM // 16:14

um i just tried doin the second quest because it was active in my log and it transported me back to shing jea monastry on my assasin lol
Reaper didn't like me one bit.
surely by my logic it should atleast let you do the quest, in less they completly removed this instance of the underworld

Probably the same time as every other quest we got so like 2 1/2 hours.

Kaitoa · Nov 03, 2009, 05:40 PM // 17:40

So i was wondering if the quest will allow people to get into UW without favor, which it did during the event? Sorry but cant get in game to check it out.

smilingscar · Nov 03, 2009, 06:01 PM // 18:01

I would bet that, instead of something being broken, they need to alter the steward for post-holiday quests. Perhaps they want to keep the skeleton bounty, but need to remove the trick-or-treat bag reward, and/or make it so you need favor to enter the UW.

All in all, the way they've laid out these quests has been pretty nice. While I was eager to fight Dhuum, the delay afforded me the opportunity to earn a couple of stacks of ToT bags off the skeletons.

Also, I think people are missing one subtle ray of sunshine. The steward/Dhuum quest are post Halloween, that means they are quite probably separate from the holiday quests and thus not one-time-only.

Coverticus · Nov 03, 2009, 06:50 PM // 18:50

New build and Mad King's Steward is back... 10 mins before "midnight"

The exact same thing happened when I tried to do the first quest on one of my other characters. I talked to the reaper and did the loading bar for UW, stopped, then loaded up Shing Jea Monastery.
