Ah well, will be playing Little Big Planet this weekend anyways. Good move though from Anet, although some whining will always be going on.

God of Killing · Nov 05, 2008, 09:48 AM // 09:48

Really? The Tengu mask could be gotten on more than one day? I love to get masks, afk like crazy to get them. I was unable to pick up the prerelease package before the release date so I never got a Tengu mask, yet I will never complain about not getting it. The mask does not give me a single advantage whatsoever over any opponents, hell I can't even place them in my HoM. So my question is, why care? Is only having one day as an option to get a mask seems harsh, fine, I understand, but look at the facts. This has been the way these items have always been given out for Halloween. Accept the fact that if you want something, you have to make a sacrifice (like that 50 cents of electricity to leave a computer afk w/ the monitor off).

A call for Anet to rethink the way the event is run in the future is fair.

Tradition is important in festivals and at the moment the tradition is MKT turns up every three hours in a full 24 hour period.
Apart from server problems he did that.

Its over and done.

Ok next year maybe we can have a token collection to get the hat hand in 100 or 200 tots and get a customised hat.
That's reasonable.

For someone who remembers that once there was no hat maker and you had to be there with every character that wanted a hat, todays system is great.
Well remember my very first festival I wanted hats on every character and stayed up all night doing it, next time I managed 2 hats on 3 characters.

Now I just need to give up 30 minutes for each hat.

Happy days.

1)The server update was not on the same day that MKT appeared, therefore MKT appearing was not "apart from the server problems".

2) Token Collection = quests to collect tokens ( or drops requiring to be programmed - to replace ToTs???) Either way, this would require work on GW1and programming that is unlikely to happen.

I think this is a very good call on ANet's part. I know a lot of PvE-oriented people are delighted at the chance to get more candy corn, pumpkin cookies and candy apples - all goodies which confer benefits in PvE - and that others are happy for the additional chance to continue working on their Drunkard and Sweet Tooth titles. PvP people who don't particularly need or care for faction points in AB will also be pleased at the second go-round for Costume Brawl. I, for one, feel no lack in not having Mad King Thorn come around again; honestly, by the third or fourth time I went through that visit, it was beginning to get boring.

BuD · Nov 05, 2008, 12:55 PM // 12:55

Some people just absolutely amaze me, Anet messed up, caused us 24 hours of no event. Plus the 3 hours of server maintenance. They openly admit they messed up and give us more than double the time that we missed. Yet people still complain.

People suck lol

Pookster · Nov 05, 2008, 02:09 PM // 14:09

/agree

they didn't actually HAVE to give us anything

community ftw

stretchs · Nov 05, 2008, 02:29 PM // 14:29

I would love to be able to trade in some halloween items just to get my hat, unfortunately I was unable to attend on the 31st and thought with the event going on the rest of the weekend they would extend his stay much like other weekend events that have visitors that typically come til the end of the event. Oh well, at least this weekend I can get more ToT bags, but no masks, the 1st ones I have missed since the game opened =[

here to troll · Nov 05, 2008, 02:59 PM // 14:59

well i think that if this is the case on whats happening, i would LOVE for anet to cut every event shot by oh, i dont know, 3 hours, give us another weekend+firday to get more stuff because, the only time that i farmed tots, was during the first weekend(and i made 2mil exp O.O)this will give me the chance to double my stock, or more oh well, thanks anet!

Halloween HAS ALWAYS BEEN ONE DAY! See I can shout too bucko.

Also, constantly booting you PC all the time is harder on you PC and electric bill than just leaving it on. Just turn you Monitor off, the monitor is what sucks the power up.

The Arching Healer · Nov 05, 2008, 07:48 PM // 19:48

Good news for you, Halloween is coming back @ 6 november. Only costume brawl, traders etc. NOT the madking. !!!

Anduin · Nov 05, 2008, 08:14 PM // 20:14

I just gotta add, for the people using the "the hats confer no benefit, so who cares?" argument: it works both ways.

Why do you care so much if someone gets a second chance at getting an item that has no real merit? Are you really that selfish?

Feathermoore Rep · Nov 05, 2008, 09:52 PM // 21:52

To be honest, i don't even think they should give us the extra time. I mean yes we missed a day of play. But we had an entire weekend and week before that. They gave us ten, read that again, TEN full days to farm, play CB and wait until the day of halloween - like every year - to get the hats. They always give out hats for 24hours the day of. The only i distinctly remember that didnt was the dragon fest where they traded tokens. Or was that canthan new year. Idk I still thought it was silly.

But oh well this time we got quadruple the amount of time that we missed. So enjoy CB and more farming, thursday, friday, saturday, and sunday. Ok you have four days. No complaiming this time. This will be the THIRD weekend in a row, that you can play CB and farm. If you miss it now, you obviously don't care enough to make time to play that bad.

Firstly - Day of the Tengu was a 24 hour event according to GW:-http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/GuildWars.com_news/20060421

I had the pre order and was in Las Vegas and could not hang on to a reliaible signal to get a mask, was I disappointed? yes, do I post on a thread QQing about it? NO.

Considering that you posted on here on halloween several times in at least 3 distinct time periods while the event was going on ie:-
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...04#post4328104 post #52

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...04#post4328904 post #76

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10334704post #60

then your weak tirade on electricity fails.

you had time to sign onto guru at least 3 times during the day and post on here but not to sign onto GW to sit there and get a hat? No wonder you are stamping your foot like a 7 year old. /lmao

Dmitri3 · Nov 06, 2008, 01:36 AM // 01:36

Thanks to Anet, now we get a weekend where if you get bored of Costume Brawl, you can switch to AB and vice versa. I cannot stand doing the same thing over and over just cause you get double points for doing so... and doing anything else seems like such a waste during these weekends.

Therefore, I think that CB and AB at the same weekend could be a nice experience and I'd recommend to people to try and do both while still having fun.

First off You are the one who brought up the tengu and other events my point was that most events have it. secondly i was on a computer that dosnt have gw so you can post on guru but not sign on so l2p . lastly u are the one who is having a hissy fit about not letting other get hats out side of the one day that they have them. and lastly /ignore tread this bickering is stupid because your agrueing about a hat that gives you NOTHING no bonuses besides being able to ware it. PLEASE ANSWER this question why do the hats have to only be handed out on one day and one day only? and don't give me the bs of oh its not the day. there have been many other events where the hat is given out on more then one day.

Firstly, I mentioned Tengu as an example of another event that was a one time only event. Your response was

Quote:

ALSO ON THOSE EVENTS YOU COULD GET THE HAT FOR MORE THEN JUST ONE DAY

which was a ) wrong, and b) in caps because you were having your hissy fit.

Then you mention on your post

Quote:

my rage here is done /ignore tread.

which clearly states who is the one with the rage fit and the fact that you you come back after saying you were ignoring the thread means I believe everything you say... not - and thats why I laughed at you

Finally you answered your own question

Quote:

a hat that gives you NOTHING no bonuses besides being able to ware it

(thats wear btw) but yet you choose to come onto this thread to QQ about it and continue to do so.
The hat was handed out on that day and that day only because that was what the event said in advance. You give no valid reason for the event being fundamentally changed apart from the fact you want it because it wasnt convenient for you.
The event was designed for thousands upon thousands of players and by far the majority of those who wanted the hat, managed to get it, but no, YOU want it redesigned.
Guess what? its NOT all about you - everything is not meant to revolve around what YOU want. I bet if theres a sale on at your local store that you miss, you write in complaining to them that it wasnt at a time when you could benefit.
