IMO events if we should have them (unless chapter specific release promos) should be global for all chapters regarless, for the best interest of game cohesiveness. A successful bussiness model does not just concentrates all its efforts into merely promoting its newest product, but should also highlight the benefits of owning other titles within the franchise and reward customer loyalty far above anything else.....

maybe except Factions cause i think it sucked lol but thats just me.

Put the halloween event in Anet...

:P

I reallyhope that ANet does this. Halloween was my favorite event out of the 3 i know.

The towns are very cool !!! And I still like to sport the pumpkin head every once in awhile.

I am also a player of CoH and they released City of Villains at Halloween time so there was no Halloween event that year...they said CoV was the event.

I am not saying they are the same game but they are related. I really hope that they don't cop-out of the Halloween event. Seriously, that is what it would feel like if they dont do it. There are multiple teams working on GW and they have already done a Halloween event...they are not starting from scratch. While it is a great game they really need to keep showing the players that they are not only as good as their last GW game.

If they don't have the Halloween event, do you know what I will do? Well, probably nothing but be disapointed. But still, it would worry me about the game and that would put a crack in the foundation of my excitement for this game.

You better do Halloween Anet..... you better. I have saved Charr Carvings, Singed Gargoyle Skulls, Orr Emblems, and Stone Summit Badges like a mad man for those fun Halloween items! The Mad King was great last time, I loved "Mad Kings Says!" and loved dying! You take that away from me, I will have no choice but to hurt myself. :P JK. REDRUM!!

Anyways........here's Johnny!!!!!!!!!

NEEWOLLAH! NEEWOLLAH! NEEWOLLAH! REDRUM! REDRUM! TI OD! TI OD!
TENA! TENA! TI OD!

This tells me that there is a good chance that something will happen. It may not be as grand as the past "Big Events", but they'll do something.

If you can find a copy of the October 2nd, 2006 Gaile Gray chatlog, you can see that she commented on this very subject. Unfortunately, the link I was going to show, the one located in this thread, is down due to high bandwidth usage.

It won't be as grand as the other events? All the art and scripting is done. Even if it's just a mirror of last event, which I was expecting anyway, it's better than some little bonus event weekend.

Pro-Monk · Oct 05, 2006, 10:20 AM // 10:20

Anet should either A) Postpone Nightfall till after Halloween B) if not, cancel the event altogether. Otherwise they are just going to screw everything up! There are already enough issues in the overall game, they should risk adding in more.

The Halloween Event, as presented last year, should NOT cross over into other Chapters. Each Chapter should have it's own events, thereby encouraging sales of those specific Chapters.

bryann380 · Oct 05, 2006, 11:32 AM // 11:32

I sincerely hope they do have one and with a decayed orr emblem collector. Why that certain type, you ask?

Yes, I have 2,000 of them. I was gonna stop there but might add more to it anyway. My monk, the "queen of the undead", has nothing better to do. =)

Brianna · Oct 05, 2006, 12:50 PM // 12:50

well, idk if this has been suggested i dont feel like reading through 6 pages, but i was thinking they could maybe add the event decorations to the main citys of all 3 chapters, and throw in some special quests here and there for each one, and for the finale have the mad king pop up in all of them at the same time, it sounds like a really big job but it could work, who knows. things like this are hard to think about because since our last halloween/x-mas event 2 chapters will have been released, so i think it really complicates things.

So you farmed the place I usually farm for 5 minutes?

Riken Chrono · Oct 05, 2006, 02:11 PM // 14:11

i wont be able to participate in it

at girlfriends house the WHOLE week. i'll get my brother to do it! child labor!

logan90 · Oct 05, 2006, 04:25 PM // 16:25

A solution to having it in more than one town at a time: Dont. Instead, they could make a new island similar to the Battle Isles and have it there, so owners of all chapters can access it. Representatives could be at all the major cities to tell you about it and take you there. It would mean less work for the dev team at the same time as everyone being able to do it. There should of course be chapter-specific events(like the dragon festival only celebrated in Cantha) but "worldwide" events like Halloween, Wintersday, etc could all be put on that island.. Just an idea..

Electric Sky · Oct 05, 2006, 04:30 PM // 16:30

Im speaking for those who want the event: "We want Halloween Event! We want Halloween Event! We want Halloween Event!"

Sir Skullcrasher · Oct 05, 2006, 04:56 PM // 16:56

Any confirmations from A-Net that there will be a Halloween Event this year and at which town? Cuz Halloween is just 3 weeks away!

child labor? pfft! he should be paying you!
the Halloween event was awesome.

Big_Iron · Oct 05, 2006, 05:29 PM // 17:29

At the very least, I'd like to see Halloween decor in the major towns like last year. That was very cool.

LoKi Foxfire · Oct 05, 2006, 05:45 PM // 17:45

I wouldn't mind if they had to redo last years event I guess. I missed the hat from that one so it would be cool to get it. :3
