I'll give you a hint: nightfall.

Have one in Lion's Arch.. with the Mad King. I missed last year and I would like to obtain a pumpkin head.

Guys, you wouldn't be complaining for a Halloween Event if they never did one. Thats like saying lets have an Easter egg hunt for Easter.

It would be a bummer if they didn't have the Halloween event. It was a blast last year. But I'm not worried about it. I've got a ghost-in-the-box or two left over from last year.

Yes please!!!

It'd be disapointing if they didn't have one, I'd like to see a return of the Mad King. Maybe throw us a bone, with some piddly quest with a Mad King minipet reward or something.

Oh well. I understand if they won't do anything.

adderworks · Sep 08, 2006, 07:03 AM // 07:03

The code is in place... Anyways, I am hoping us Tyrians do not get left behind. While I understand the need to push the new game, there is a huge portion of players that love Tyria. Halloween and xmas? Sure, we can call them Tyrian events and make sure there is reason for new players to buy "older" chapters over the years.

bigwig · Sep 08, 2006, 08:47 AM // 08:47

They've said before they won't be making updates to old chapters, and they've even been nice enough to go back on that by introducing new greens to prophecies. I don't think this will continue, if you want events, buy the new chapter. Simple as that.

There will be an event of some kind with the release of nightfall anyway, won't there? I seem to recall the day of the tengu with Factions.

Xenrath · Sep 08, 2006, 09:29 AM // 09:29

There was no "Halloween" in Guild Wars. Nor Christmas, or any other Earth holiday.

They just have some Tyria festivals which just happen to be on same dates and kinda look a bit similar in some ways. Tyria is not Earth

elLOCOmutha · Sep 08, 2006, 10:56 AM // 10:56

Halloween is one of my fav holidays...

Why would they take these events away? Are they focused on improving keeping this game growing?

thelessa · Sep 08, 2006, 02:13 PM // 14:13

What would be nice is to have these events so all can join in. Say maybe at the Battle Islands, everyone has access, so no one will be left out.

Normally I would make a statement like this but in this case I disagree.

1) People like the holiday events
2) They DID already have a Halloween event and if they can't be reliable one year later, well that doesn't score them any points for me.
3) There is two teams. So if the prophices team is too busy with Nightfall the Faction teams could add it Cantha.. OR the Tyira team could just insert the old code.. it's really not that hard once it been done before.

I like A.Net and GW ect but I would be disappointed in them if they didn't have the event.

Shadowspawn X · Sep 08, 2006, 02:27 PM // 14:27

We are getting an October Event which is going to be the release of Nightfall. Who wants to rehash the same thing every year? Time to move on, people how many pumkin helms do you need?

natuxatu · Sep 08, 2006, 04:42 PM // 16:42

they could change the helm. Besides it would be a smart marketing strat if there were events that we could look forward to each year.

Knightsaber Sith · Sep 08, 2006, 05:08 PM // 17:08

Personally I don't much care for the mad king and winter's day events that were so obviously based on halloween and christmas from the real world. I prefer the events that seem to have originated in the game like the Day of the Tengu or the Dragon Festival. They were more creative rather than just copying real holidays. (some people have claimed the Dragon Festival to be a rip off of Chineese new year but I really wouldn't know)

.

wrong.

they stated in an interview that besides the 2 chapter teams there ws a third event team for special events and recurring seasonal events and specifically mentioned halloween/wintersday.

with the concurrent release of Nightfall halloween may be skipped and who can blame them for not wanting to introduce event bugs along with launch bugs

Maxiemonster · Sep 08, 2006, 05:51 PM // 17:51

I can't imagine that they won't add Halloween. They just use everything from the last time at least, it'd be a shame if Cantha wouldn't have Halloween, but at least add it to Tyria. If you ask me, ANet is just lazy.

Sir Skullcrasher · Sep 08, 2006, 05:59 PM // 17:59

I can't wait till wintersday event!

Snowball fight ftw!
