| Halloween Confirmation from Gaile... |
|
|

She had said before that there would be an event of some kind for Halloween, and here it is confirmed that it will last all through next weekend and on to Tuesday. From a post of hers on another site:
| QUOTE | Hi, there,
Over the course of the 1.5 years of Guild Wars, we have done many different things. For instance, the first holiday events were the Halloween and Wintersday Events, which took place when Prophecies was the only campaign and Tyria was the only (known) land. Then there was a Day of the Tengu event and after that, the Dragon Festival, and those both took place in Cantha, the land of Factions.
With the release of Nightfall, the next announced holiday event is the Halloween Event, and it will take begin at the very minute that Nightfall opens: Friday, October 27th, at 12:01 a.m. PDT (7:01 GMT). The Halloween Event will end at 11:59 p.m. PDT on Tuesday, October 31st.
In the future you will see other holiday events, and those may take place specifically in one region, or in multiple regions.
I hope you enjoy next week's event! |
This brings at least a little solace to those of us who may not be able to get Nightfall right away (EB won't let me have mine until the 27th, so no midnight access for me). I'm still a little leery of them actually having my CE that day as well...
EDIT: Just for the sake of having all the info in one place:
We do not know for certain exactly what the event will be, but it appears most likely that the Mad King will return (heavily hinted at in the latest Scribe). It is doubtful that the event will contain much "new" content, as Anet has been focusing so much on Nightfall. There has been no word on collector helms, if they will give out the old pumpkins, or something new, or if there will even be any helms. I think that's all the info on it that I know of so far.
I expect there to be an announcement with more details on Tuesday, which is when they have traditionally announced weekend events...

That statement doesn't make it clear where the Holloween event will be though. Will it be all 3, or just 1?
I'd like to think it would be all 3 but u never know with Anet!! If it's just Nightfall, what about those who don't get it on time due to possible delays?
I'd have thought it wouldn't be too hard having Halloween in Prophecies again as they can just unpack the decorations!
Guess we'll have to wait 'till Tuesday to find out.

I have read the insider email and they said that the event will be in Lions Arch and Kamadan, so no Halloween for factions only characters.
Transformeurs, more than meets the eye.

Yup, it's not fair with those who don't get there Nightfall on the 27, October and to the 31. October. It's not that difficult to make it like last year, i think more players have Prophecies than Factions/Nightfall on that date.
