 * Notes are already up.
 * Can't believe I got kicked out of RA for this bs. 66.215.80.139
 * No skill updates either. Sigh. 91.155.151.110 21:35, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Someone get zola on the line. we need some hardcore dat scrapers to find out this years hats, Or the germans. they always seem to have it. ask them.-- Neil  2250  User Neil2250 sig icon6.png 21:36, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Had a look myself, only new images are these in different sizes, and they definitely don't look like hats to me. -Yuki Winterchill 21:44, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Second one looks like it could be cool, but wow, that first one is very weird.
 * First one looks like some cat ears. EDIT: or a set of werewolf ears --Curin Derwin 21:56, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree. It looks like a black cat with pink inside the ear. -- 'Mai Yi ' talk  21:57, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * The second one is goggles. Like the girl from Chrono Trigger. What's her face. -Curin Derwin 21:59, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Last post: Germans just put them up. Here you go! http://www.guildwiki.de/wiki/Halloween_2010 -Curin Derwin 22:00, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Whoa that was fast. -- 'Mai Yi ' talk  22:03, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Wow, those cat ears are worthless to anyone with a male character. Seriously, they couldn't have a male wolf ears version or something? That's just gay looking. 67.149.248.3 22:05, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * How can you get more Halloween than black cats? I like them! Okay, werewolves are Halloween too. They could have made them instead of the goggles. -- 'Mai Yi ' talk  22:07, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Black cat ears, bat ears...it's all good. But Blammo! Steampunk Goggles! Markus Clouser  [[Image:User_Markus_Clouser_signature_img.jpg|19px]] 22:08, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Damn Germans being faster than me, still can't find the inventory icons! D= -Yuki Winterchill 22:10, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Inventory icons cannot be extracted using GwDatBrowser. AFAIK, only User:Zora and me are able to leak inventory icons. --numma_cway 22:23, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Now I REALLY wish there was a hat maker in Pre, so I could put my character in there into Nekomimi Mode! Mith[[Image:User MithranArkanere Star.png]]Talk 22:27, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

oooooooooh!! cat ears!! I WANT!!!!!!!!!!!! :O |Cynn's   Thong|  05:21, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * @Markus Clouser - I think those are meant to be Asura goggles. (Oops, forgot to sign in.) - Zaxares 06:50, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * OOOOOOO CAT's EARS !!! on my main char... female mesmer named Pixy Cat !!! --  Pixy | Talk User_pixy_hand.png 07:08, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I see she has obsidian armor. So don't forget to dye her armor pink, so you might make it to the cover of the next Playboy issue. --numma_cway 13:46, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

KITTY EARS! I can make my paragon a cute little kitty boy! ^_^ Now if only we had a kitty tail, too. :) --Res 18:13, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * @numma_cway: ye she already has pink obby... all im waiting for is a bunny tail and its done :D --  Pixy | Talk User_pixy_hand.png 10:30, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Furries!
Gah! FleshAndFaith 23:44, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Hats
Step One) Make great costumes, put them both on sale

Step Two) Make extremely minimal free festive items

Step Three) Make money

 * Well you know, it's called "premium content" because it's better than regular content. Cash Shop 101. [[Image:User_Felix_Omni_Signature.png]]elix Omni 08:36, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh this is surprising, a company trying to make money. Wake up and smell the coffee. --[[Image:User Large sig.png|talk]] Large 14:31, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

The spell was called "$40 dollars campaign every 6 months". Also, I'm from Colombia, I know coffee. -- Large 20:12, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Weird coincidence....
rofl, last nite while on costume brawl outpost, I was like "where is Tolkano, wtf, why they put Priest of Balthazar no one hardly use it!!! phail anet phail" next day they patch it, and added tolkano, lols~ im impress anet.--Ridz16 02:12, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I will make that sentence a little more grammatically correct. "Haha. Last night I was in the Costume Brawl Outpost, and I could not find Tolkano. I said to myself, 'Where is Tolkano? Why did ArenaNet only place a Priest of Balthazar here? Not many players use that NPC. ArenaNet must have made a mistake.' The next day they patched it by adding Tolkano. Haha, I am impressed ArenaNet." -- 'Mai Yi ' talk  19:15, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Lol, cool story brah -- Flaming Renegade  [[Image:User Flaming Renegade Signature.jpg|16px]] 20:25, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

I would....
...rather pay for proper updates than this kind of shit T.T. I'd pay for a big monthly skillupdate... 82.169.222.223 09:52, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * You may want to consider a game with a monthly fee then. [[Image:User_Felix_Omni_Signature.png]]elix Omni 10:08, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Or pay for a game in need of updates. I'll stick to not-paying for a game where the skills are usually the same when I wake up the next morning. --Manassas  [[File: User Manassas Mannysig.png]] 10:16, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Have you considered using a different skill set, rather than waiting for skills to change for you? Lazy bones. FleshAndFaith 15:24, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * pwned. --Musha [[Image:User_Musha_Sigc.png|19px]] 17:49, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * That would work, except then he'd still have to play against BB and hexway shitters every time he wanted to HA. If you bring a knife to a gunfight, it doesn't magically become a fun and balanced knife fight for you.  &mdash;  Raine Valen  [[Image:User_Raine_R.gif|19px]]  18:06, 29 Oct 2010 (UTC)
 * For some people, the added challenge would make it fun. Fun doesn't have to mean winning always, I've had more fun in games while loosing than I've ever had winning by steamroll. --Curse You [[Image:User Curse You sig icon.png|Curse You]] (talk|contribs) 01:34, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I totally disagree with troll-ish comments from ppl hiding behind an IP address. And yes anet are doing a good job considering there are no fixed monthly payments... servers/electricity/maintenance/staff cost money, and they dont farm it in UW ;) --  Pixy | Talk User_pixy_hand.png 10:36, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Given how infrequent skill updates are, I'd rather have them sooner and new content later, even if they were just obviously bad skills which were only slightly improved (in fact it'd be better to improve things slightly over and over until they become balanced than to guess and make bad skills into OPed ones and vice versa) - these shouldn't need much thought or testing tbh. Still, I have to agree with the last couple of posts. 81.159.26.136 16:46, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Please Bunny Ears Next Easter
Thank you for the Cat ears. Now i can make my characters into Cat-girls. Please give us Bunny ears next Easter so i can make Bunny-girls. Thank You. 173.32.190.24 07:35, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Bunny ears you say? -- Briar  User Briar Sig 3.jpg  The Spider  10:55, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Bunny ears, I say, too! --70.90.155.138 04:00, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
 * 2011 is the Canthan Year of the Hare too, they could give us Bunny Ears for that, or Easter. I am even willing to pay $9.99 for both a White and Brown Rabbit Costumes.

Conclusion
Anet spent its time on making hats everbody seems to hate, time better spent on skillupdates.
 * Hate? Best halloween hat for a while, better than the shitty facepaints we keep getting. Cat ears are win, just a shame I can't wear them with my glasses! -Yuki Winterchill 21:12, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Cat ears on all my characters! -- 'Mai Yi ' talk  22:41, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Same, my assassin is so Kawaii now! -Yuki Winterchill 23:54, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
 * The only shame is that you can't wear them on your headgear. Waar Kijk Je Naar User_Waar_Kijk_Je_Naar_sig.png 05:06, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
 * The goggles would be awesome if you could make Vekk wear them... but they still look rather charming on smaller female characters (my mesmer looks like Rita from Tales of Vesperia now) FleshAndFaith 07:24, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Now that halloween is over, expect the Dervish Update, Embark Beach and all of the other wonderful trappings Anet has been talking about... Maybe.  Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ  аІiсә  [[File:User Aliceandsven 3.png]]  ѕνәи  Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ 03:35, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Don't be absurd, they have to prepare for Thanksgiving weekend. Those slices of pumpkin pie don't drop themselves, you know. [[Image:User_Felix_Omni_Signature.png]]elix Omni 03:37, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

They'll probably buff scythes knowing anet and they'll give some shit reason like "we felt that te scythe was not diverse enough, so we gave wounding strike extra functionality by adding +dmg". Anet is just too busy sucking GW2's 8===0
 * I think it'll be more along the lines of "Grenths Grasp; All adjacent foes take 'x' amount of damage, (original effect), and when this enchantment ends, it cripples adjacent foes.", "Onslaught IAS/IMS to 33%", "Vow of Strength is now calculated by the amount of enchantments currently on you - up to 30% extra damage (even with conditions on)" ;D If they fuck over my Zealous Vow, I'm gonna rage hard. --122.111.226.139 13:18, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I Hope it wont be a "lol look at the dervishes steamrolling everything and being totally unkillable" update. last time it ended up with everyone except dervishes using the skills (Armor of Sanctity being used mainly by monks as a non elite mist form etc.-- Miriforst fox User Miriforst fox fox icon.png 14:45, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Plz A-net don't Ruin my Zealous Vow!! --Dragon7 cape emblem.png The Holy Dragons 17:17, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I hope you realize how absurd you sound saying that Dervishes may be given even more damage buffs. Buffing Vow of Strength like that would basically mean one hit kills everywhere on HM.  Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ  аІiсә  [[File:User Aliceandsven 3.png]]  ѕνәи  Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ 19:56, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * If they nerf both Aura of Holy Might and Asuran Scan, they can buff whatever they want. 24.197.253.243 22:20, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe you should take a look at what Anet has "balanced" in the past. Almost every time it ends up being something ridiculously overpowered or broken. Look at the mesmer update, there was literally no calling for mesmer buffs at all. There was a lot of calling for mesmer nerfs, and Anet answered that by giving a shutdown class more damage than damaging classes, while buffing the shutdown too. Do you really expect the people that did that to exhibit any sort of common sense when it comes to a dervish update? -- Tha Reckoning User- Tha Reckoning Another Sig.png 17:42, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll agree with Reck here on Mesmers but only b/c I expected them to give Mesmers more utility so they'd be better Team Supporters. One example that actually was tested by the TK: They made the energy gain from Spirit of Failure apply to your whole party which woulda been awesome.  Shared Burden, Instability, & Stolen speed are also rather nice but they didn't quite go far enough when compared to the Brainless raw Spammy power of Panic & Keystone.  & More damage is just dumb, I shouldn't be able to nuke entire groups of Dryders & Behemoths in UW myself with just Wastrels+Wastrels spamming and Panic while taking barely any damage.  It's a  degenerate meta that exploits bad A.I. -- ilr [[image:User_ilr_deprav.png]] 18:53, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Guild Wars
It all started in a place called Ascalon,

Where a race called the Charr invaded us.

A brave prince said "Hold the wall, or we're dead."

But we couldn't hold it long, so to the south we fled

To Fort Ranik, all the people were panicked.

The kingdom was falling like the Titanic.

I asked the man near the catapult, "What do you need?"

"I found some parts in the nearby wreckage,

Are you looking for these?"

Through the ruins, to the Academy, to a place

Where the prince would rather be.

You see, his father has got a few problems,

the problem is that he can't solve them.

So he said "You're no longer my son."

"To the Shiverpeaks, fool, get your butt on the run!"

To Kryta. To Carlotta the Spider.

The Arch to the Henge, along with Stefan the Fighter.

Meet the White Mantle, defeat the White Mantle,

Go to the desert and flee from the scandal.

Reach for Elona and Rivers of Thirst

Ascend after Dunes by doing your worst to yourself.

Then fulfilling by Glint's grand design,

For the prophecy states at Perdition you'll find

The Vizier is a fake, he's really the Lich

Slay him, take the scepter, and finish this.

So that chapter closes, to the arenas I journey.

Defeating Koreans in every Tomb tourney.

Guild versus Guild since I have my own hall.

Spikers and Spirits, I'm smiting them all.

Try to take favor then offer to Grenth,

Farm up some ectoplasm then spend every cent.

Salvage some runes, heal with Divine Boon

Level to 20 on all of my toons.
