From the log in announcements:

"We're resurrecting Halloween! Beginning after the update on Thursday, November 6th, you can enjoy Halloween fun again with special items, collectors, and the Costume Brawl."

To me it sounds like the update will be tonight. This being November 6th in North America. I say look for it around 5pm Pacific Time, 8pm Eastern, or Friday 1am GMT. Just my $0.02.

Lindsey is the absolute best Anet has to offer right now. I wish she could be cloned.

According to Regina's notes in the other thread:

EDIT:

The new monthly tonic will arrive on November 6.

The skill balance will be on November 6.

The title re-balance will be on November 13.

I'm already starting to get nervous about next week. I really hope that people like what I have done. I'm going to be a huge ball of nerves for the next week. Luckily I have SO MUCH work still left to do that I'll be too busy to think about anything. It's gonna be a loooong weekend. Come Wednesday though, my stomach will start doing flips, I promise you. And Thursday! Oh man, I'm going to be freaking out. FREAKING OUT.

That means next week I think :P?

Dear Regina and Anet,.

for all the millions of people who have bought Guild Wars we would like to you know that a "Critical absence of staff" is not acceptable at all.

Thank you very much

Do you people never learn ? - they feed you the same garbage every month , this update shall be delayed , or this update shall be smaller then usual - bigger changes in the next build .. and on it goes.

Take today for example - sources say there is only 4-5 skills recieving minor tweaks , yet they still manage to roll the new build out on the 7th - not the 6th. Thats if it even comes today.

Learn from experience , anet will tell you what you want to hear - and rarely deliver... dont get hyped up to be dissapointed

I don't think people WOULDN'T complain, they always do, for every single update Anet has done, people whine, if memory serves. PLus, since this is "one of the biggest update ever", things WILL be nerfed and things WILL be changed, it's simply unavoidable. And yes, people WILL whine.

But I look forward to this update, since if there will be nerfs then Anet would have already done them, as they did in the past. And reasonably, they cannot nerf everything in GW so this update will not simply encompass "nerfing". So there will be change to this game(not that there isn't enough as it is already), and I wonder how and what Anet will change this time around.

If this is the "largest update ever," and it's being released next week, then ArenaNet fails majorly at timing hype. (or community interaction)

Issac · Nov 07, 2008, 12:23 AM // 00:23

Can't wait to see what it is.

I would wager that there were bigger updates shortly after the times when Factions and Nightfall were released, and not just saying that the releases themselves were the big updates.

I don't think a lot of people are really paying attention here....

Today's update will be skill balancing with other random stuffs.

The "biggestupdateevarzomg" will be next week, as stated above.

So, were supposed to get our halloween event back today at noon. Yet almost 5 hours later and no costume brawl or anything really.

So are we going to get a third halloween event next weekend to make up for this one being late as well?

Issac · Nov 07, 2008, 12:35 AM // 00:35

Maybe it's GW2 related

lol. I wish

where doe sit ever say it would happen at noon, allthat anet said was when nov 6th update goes live it will return never gave a time fyi

Sadchaos · Nov 07, 2008, 12:42 AM // 00:42

Perfect time imo. When they rebalance the titles, I'm hoping they remove title requirements for armor, so I'll get my points too, and I'll have enough money for new armor <3

TBH though, I'm more excited for skill update.

Alleji · Nov 07, 2008, 12:54 AM // 00:54

The most interesting part in this thread was the SF update notes... fun to see all that old stuff.

Rhamia Darigaz · Nov 07, 2008, 01:09 AM // 01:09

nothing anet ever does will make up for them forgetting yesterday's holiday

Anet didn't remember the 5th of November?
