Sparkfly Fen is a lot over 35, the mobs close was about lvl 55. I was proud that my lvl 44 warrior completed the whole thing without dying once or having help by friends.

A 30 can still complete it, but needs help from a high level character or a lot of luck unless you are a thief. Thieves can complete it anywaysif they are good.

 Do you play with your graphics on lowest settings?

Nope, halloween ends Nov. 1st.

 

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).

Calm ya tits mate. These skins are only cosmetic and have no impact really on how well you play in PvE or PvP environment.

Also..the other F2P lotto chests you mentioned, mostly contain "Pay to win" type items.

Loved it. I liked the labyrinth the best. It was harder to solo but fun. I liked how they spread out the pumkins for carving. 

I do have to mention tho. Despite all the nonsense posts on this website's forum concerning the actual number of players in zones when this event started, the number of players in all of the other zones went RIGHT back to what it was before Halloween patch was loaded. People were still there in droves on my server in every location. (most were RPers so not much talking in map chat)

I had only been playing GW2 casually prior to halloween, but during halloween I got hooked as the content was just "that" good.

I'll probably revert back to playing casually until November 15th, then I'll see how good that update is
