Costume[edit]

From the official Guild Wars Facebook Page User The Holy Dragons Halloween Costume 2011.jpg --you like that don't you..The Holy Dragons 21:12, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Do Want!!! What is this?!?!?! Dervish-tango-icon-20.pngDevi 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. Dervish-tango-icon-20.pngDevi 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[edit]

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[edit]

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 --you like that don't you..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[edit]

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

New challenge mission[edit]

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[edit]

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 talk 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 User Silavor Signature.gif 08:05, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Video[edit]

remove it? it's kind of unnecesary as it only shows the normal halloween stuff and not any of the new. --you like that don't you..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 talk 05:54, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

GMT time is wrong.[edit]

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[edit]

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[edit]

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?[edit]

It's empty of any advertisements, and was wondering why. Seemed rather odd.-- User Vanguard VanguardLogo.pnganguard 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.-- User Vanguard VanguardLogo.pnganguard 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.-- User Vanguard VanguardLogo.pnganguard 20:12, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Hats Redux[edit]

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. --you like that don't you..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[edit]

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 --MageUser MageMontu sig.pngMontu 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[edit]

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