Costume

From the official Guild Wars Facebook Page --The Holy Dragons 21:12, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Do Want!!! What is this?!?!?! Devi 22:27, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

I see its the new costume but the Main GW site doesn't mention it, just last years Mad King and Lich costumes. Strange. Devi 22:31, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Cuz obviously it's a boring new NPC skin and leader of the Nameless Lich. /pout Konig/talk 03:52, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

They tweeted about this being one of this years new Halloween costumes so not an NPC 90.200.87.247 08:48, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

From GW's Official Twitter ~ GuildWars Guild Wars

The Halloween event starts this week! Here's a peek at one of the spooky new costumes coming to the in-game store! cot.ag/r5hJMS ~RB 13 hours ago 90.200.87.247 08:52, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Congrats. You completely missed the sarcasm. Konig/talk 17:28, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Anyone else notice similarities between the Vale Wraith and Disturbed's mascot, The Guy? http://prorock.it-advanced.com/userfiles/image/Disturbed---Indestructible.jpg Etaoin Shrdlu 23:05, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Dates are wrong

Thursday is October 20th not 21st.
Monday is the 24th not 25th.
Sunday is the 30th. So Monday is the 31st, so the events are starting at 12:01 AM Monday.
The Tuesday end is November 1st, not 2nd. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.174.98.44 (talk).

The link to the official page goes to the 2010 Halloween event, not 2011. --Lady Rhonwyn 05:37, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

drops

so do the drops of trick or treat bags start thursday? or only in the last weekend?

The Dates aren't 100% correct as this page has been copy/pasted from Halloween 2010 --The Holy Dragons 14:03, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Yes, trick-or-treat bags drop started at Thursday, 20th. I've already got one --Rosenfeld 07:44, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Is it me or is the drop rate of bags lower than the previous years? 74.12.231.198 00:09, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

dunno about last year but I ve farmed about 600 bags (vaettirs HM) and my drop rate seem to be 1/8.

Trick or treat bags from gvging

You only get 10 now. Not 50. 69.151.64.217 23:25, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

New challenge mission

See Feedback talk:John Stumme#Halloween 2011 for a spoiler list of new skills that might have been added for the new challenge mission. --Silver Edge 05:21, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Ectos drop in challenge mission 19:36, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

So no new quests? Just a challenge mission? Ramei Arashi 03:14, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

So far no new quests no, but perhaps there will be at a later date, it would be the perfect timing to release a bit more about the Lunatic Court. --Kilaa1000 19:51, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

That and they're trying to free their king was supposed to give somebody else ideas about returning. Ramei Arashi 01:33, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

That somebody else is probably Palawa Joko.50.92.130.18 02:34, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

I guess they didn't release everything yet, since the sreenshot has been taken in an unknown place... hope they'll release some new quests today

Much rather have new quests than a boring, mash-buttons-until-enemy-dead challenge.--Four Year Strong 00:05, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Hat

YARR!

I can not wait! 71.59.149.193 01:06, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

See Feedback talk:Game updates/20111028#Hats for a preview of both hats. --Silver Edge 03:06, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

OOGY BOOGY! Sjeng 16:08, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

anyone got the hats. I'm at work so I won't be able to see what my afk game is doing for another 6 hours. Post it up209.159.233.237 07:35, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Basic pages are up, still need images Silavor 08:05, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Video

remove it? it's kind of unnecesary as it only shows the normal halloween stuff and not any of the new. --The Holy Dragons 14:32, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

It violates some copyright and is thus blocked in some countries, including germany. I don't think such videos are appropriate to be linked in this wiki, given the strict requirements for copyright adherence put forth by the hosters of this wiki. I also don't think there's any point in adding videos that are showing content currently available in the game, since everybody can just log in and experience it themselves. Tub 14:39, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Not everybody can. Why not just leave an external link to it? Sjeng 05:54, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

GMT time is wrong.

They get it wrong on every single event. Don't put "GMT" when it's always GMT +1

It's not though. The clocks went back on Sunday morning. 86.177.164.218 16:26, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Survive the King's Games

Surviving the finale event wins you 100 tot bags. --Skekzyz 15:47, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Mad King's Fan. Hex Spell. Mad King Thorn is pleased by your undying support. Survive his celebration for bonus treats. - any death even from him picking your name will remove this hex and you will not get the extra 100 tot bags. --Skekzyz 19:35, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Mad King's Fan, way ahead of you. --Silver Edge 20:52, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

PDT Time

Someone changed the PDT times incorrectly. For some reason someone treated the times as if GMT was military time and PDT was standard time. PDT should be 7 hours behind GMT (as is clearly stated under the PDT description). So, someone should probably fix that. Phazor 16:16, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Should be fixed. --JonTheMon 16:54, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Is the Party window disabled?

It's empty of any advertisements, and was wondering why. Seemed rather odd.-- anguard 18:53, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Were you just in an internation/asian/european district?--Four Year Strong 20:32, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Nope. All American, baby.-- anguard 20:42, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

That happens during any special event finale when an outpost/town has a lot of districts. Only people in the lower numbered districts will see any advertisements in the party search window. --Silver Edge 21:04, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

A tad inconvenient, but I guess it makes sense.-- anguard 20:12, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Hats Redux

Any way of getting the hats after the events are all over? Kelfer 10:21, 01 Novemeber 2011 --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.174.188.248 (talk).

there never have been a way for Halloween afaik, so no I'm sorry. --The Holy Dragons 10:24, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Aw schucks! A'net did this for Xmas, I believe. Shame they can't do it for say 100 ToTs or so ... Kelfer 10:48, 01 Novemeber 2011 --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.174.181.235 (talk).

ended over an hour after the specified ending time

I was in the Scarred Psyche Halloween CM and I wasn't kicked out until a few minutes ago. That was 1 hour and 11 minutes after the ending time stated in the article. What gives? Is this a bug that's documented somewhere on the wiki?--War_Pig5 08:14, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

You got an extra hour of play time, and are complaining? 76.164.65.219 08:19, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

The Sorceress of Kessex is still there but when I talked to her she transported me to Shing Jea 0.o --MageMontu 08:17, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Above I wasn't complaining about the extra time; I want the bug documented on the wiki if it isn't already. When I was finally kicked out, it was to Shing Jea as well. Now I'm complaining that this is doubly buggy! --War_Pig5 08:38, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, that happened to me too. Oh god, I hope I haven't tripped a buggy flag somewhere that's going to screw me over in a month's time.... -- Hong 11:45, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

I wonder, if a character didn't have Shing Jea Monastery unlocked or no Factions on the account, where would that character be sent to from Scarred Psyche at the end of the event? --Silver Edge 03:21, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Anytime a character attempts to access an area that is closed, they are sent to their "home town." (Factions characters are sent to Shing Jea, Proph chars to Ascalon, etc) 199.167.132.227 04:00, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Hat Giver Confirmed - within a week

Anyone wanna find the proper wording and add this to the article? Or do we wait until it's actually in the game?
