Talk:Halloween

no
ita not realy important

Question:
This question is too generalized to put on a specific year but, Why don't they decorate and celebrate this in Cantha, ever? When it comes to a fun holiday I'm sure we can forego lore (what little there is) to have an extra decorated town or two.--  anguard  16:30, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I guess it was originally to give factions its own holiday identity. Cantha had the dragon festival and canthan new years, Tyria had halloween and wintersday. When they added Nightfall, rather than add two new unique festivals, they just copied the existing ones from Tyria.--Pyron Sy 16:39, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Feh. I think they should go all out with Halloween and "wintersday" and decorate some of all campaigns including EotN and Factions.-- [[Image:User_Vanguard_VanguardLogo.png|19px]] anguard  16:41, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Elona, and Tyria are on the same continent, while Cantha is on another faraway continent due south, maybe that's the reason behind it.

Halloween Guild Halls
I believe that there should be Guild Hall updates during Halloween that change the appearance of the hall to a more Halloween-vibe, so that members of guilds may celebrate from their halls, in Guild Parties, etc. Kalizar of the Demagon 00:57, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Crisis In Cantha
If the Mad King decides to pay a visit while "The lands of Cantha do not celebrate this festival." Anyone?-- Mark,     het Beest  11:29, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
 * You're saying that if the Mad King shows up on Cantha, that will spark a Crisis in Cantha as part of Guild Wars Beyond?
 * Yup, pretty much^^-- Mark,  User Markisbeest sig.jpg]]   het Beest  16:44, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Wise Mark may well be wise. User Sower_of_chaossig.jpg '' Sower 17:57, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Doubt that the "Crisis in Cantha" content (that name was a joke by Stumme btw) will be released with Halloween if that's what you mean. We need to finish up the Keiran stuff first. -- Konig / talk 18:22, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

The Days of Gaile Gray
I wonder ... will a community manager ever show up at Halloween/Wintersday like Gaile does in the 2006 videos? Would be pretty amazing to have that kind of activity nowadays, :-)

Who else agrees? Donutdude 12:33, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Would be awesome, but I doubt it's gonna happen :P Waar Kijk Je Naar 12:58, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Previously held
Why is Halloween 2010 (THIS year) in the "previously held" section? 69.177.225.92 04:25, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Because someone is being lazy. -- Wyn [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon2.png|19px ]] talk  04:29, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Someone put it there in advance (I just put in what it added afterward). Not like it matters, if it is removed it'll just be added in a week and a half. -- Konig / talk 05:19, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

The Waiting Game
The quest The Waiting Game is available this year (2010) also. Should it not also be under the 2010 quests heading? Radthor Dax 21:06, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
 * All of the 09 quests are available. However, it would seem that outside the Waiting Game and Every Bit Helps, they are only available once no matter the year it is taken - as I cannot get any other quest. -- Konig / talk 21:58, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

ALL the Festival quests gone from Log!; why different than 2009?
Brief background, update from support, and what next? I am posting this open question to the community and hoping that not only will not get erased but maybe someone from the Development team will see. Thanks! 05:37, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Background - While most are expected to be done during the event, The Waiting Game was introduced last year and was available since then to complete & redeem as the NPC who is required ( King Frozenwind ) is available all-year round since existing NPC for other Underworld quest. There is nothing special about him like the Mad king who is only available during special seasonal events. So like previously, I worked hard to get several characters advanced to Lion's Arch & Temple of Age and then through the quest chain in series to that point just so could save its completion (which is long/difficult doing all the Elite area quests) later with guildees as had done on my primary character before. However I was SHOCKED (& from Forum posts, others where too!) when ALL the Festival quests were removed on Nov 2nd. This new behavior was not announced or explained in any of the updates.
 * Support's reply : So I opened a ticket with them not sure if accident/bug only to get the following response form GM Lemoncorba "I looked in to the issue and have determined that it is not a bug, and that the game is working as designed. Former years' Halloween quests are now designed to be repeatable each year. This means that, by design, they will be removed from the individual player's quest log as soon as the festival ends making them like the other event quests." Then when I tried to explain that The Waiting Game was different and anyway to investigate at least a restore of it, I got "There are no plans to revert any of the Halloween quests to their past status." & "the support system is not an official venue to share your thoughts and ideas with the Development Team. Due to legal reasons, we are only able to officially accept suggestions about these changes through the Guild Wars Wiki"
 * Now what?
