amount of content and stuff to do in this event has been pretty incredible really looking forward to what's in store for the next content patch
I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg |

I was disappointed that the second parts of the book thing took you through some level 35+ zones, so if you were low 30 you couldn't solo to get there :-(

Loved mad king dungeon and labyrinth. Overall it was a great event, despite some personal pet peeves and broken stuff early on.

IT was alot of fun, even though I couldn't complete the jumping challenge.

Nothing screams 'mmorpg' like a jumping puzzle.

Nothing screams 'FUN' like the Halloween events in Tyria.
You want me to pay to play a game I already paid for??? Be afraid.....The dragons are HERE! |

Clock tower was great. I am currently basking in the glory of being the only person in our little hometown guild that has completed it. The mad King dungeon was fun but I didn't feel like farming it repeatedly. The labrynth was alot of fun, however the loot was not kind to me this year. Maybe next event I'll find a horseshoe to hang around my neck. The PvP games were ok, but not really my thing. Lots of people liked them though. I didn't bother with the book, at least not yet. Maybe later on this week. All in all, I'm pretty happy with the event, definately one of the best I've taken part in. All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick. |

Good Halloween event! Took me about 2 hours to do the clocktower, but in the end I got the event title, but i couldnt be bothered to carve 150 pumpkins, which thank god didnt count toward the achievement! Went from 74-80 in a couple hours in the Mad King's Realm! Only thing that I was hoping was that the outfits on the TP were reduced in gem cost towards the end of the event, but oh well, I'm not paying $10 for a costume (but I did buy the mini-pets >.>). Overall best holiday event I have done in a game in quite awhile.

None of my characters are over 32 and I was able to get both books on 2 of my toons. The clock tower took me 5 hours to do and storm Sandy prevented me from getting the last Mad King Ascend instance. Will probably miss the party tonight too unless power is restored tonight. Great events though, had a good time.

I am pretty sad I missed all this. I have had my computer for 2 weeks now and won't for another 2. I'd really have liked to have that book. Plus this was the only thing that got mr excited for Halloween. There is next year. I hope they have this stuff and just add in more.

It's the ridiculous (and personally much hated and rather stupid) lotto chest event that ends on the fifth. Greatsaw sword skin has (unsurprisingly) inflated in price of course, while the lackluster skins are still cheaper than sin. Said this before, but I do hope they step away from dictating damn near every single bit of holiday flair into the item shop. The costumes are one thing, but let us actually earn those weapon skins instead of having to rely on an undisclosed drop rate meant solely to rip off all the unlucky, clueless sods who probably spent $50 alone on overpriced chest keys trying to get it.
Seriously... when Arena Net wanted to claim to be better with GW2, lotto chests ala every single F2P and lazily-converted F2P title was the last thing I expected from them. Specially as somethign that is part of their strongest points (holiday events). |
