Guild Wars 2

So far I’m seeing nothing other then a few achievement points.

1. New skins are BLT which are independent of halloween content.
2. Old skins are not farmable, well atleast realistically.
3. Drops seem mediocre at best. Havent heard of any exclusive drops as of yet, basically a slow FGS farm that’s Halloween themed.’

In short, there’s nothing new, everything old is unobtainable.

I must say, Anet really needs to bring their game, i had such high expectations for halloween content judging by what they had out last year. Really hoping second part of these events has something worthwhile. ATM only reason i can see to bother with content is to unlock the achievements in preparation for the new content.

its a holiday event that is supposed to be fun. Tell me what is the point of Halloween and why do people dress up?

Fun is subjective. What someone else finds fun, you may not. Doesn’t mean it isn’t fun still. This “fun” holiday event has brought a lot of grind and a story that you can’t do unless you grind out achievements. And to top that off, achievements removed for doing certain activities (ex: pumpkin carving and clock tower).

And there is no costumes in the store to dress up in. So unless you got them last year, you can’t dress up in a costume.

I’m not even going to get into the “point of Halloween” cause that would take forever.

Lunatic Inq makes no since to me. Looks like most people die on purpose or drop group when you start. you run around and get killed. It does not take long before there is way more of them than you. Then you become a ghost and run around looking at each other till the time runs out. Maybe I am missing something. I don’t see any point in it. Waist of time.

No, there is no point. Might as well keep on farming champions and then buy candycorn with the money gained if you really need that ridiculously priced miniature. This is probably the most disappointing update to date.

Of all the posts about being disappointed about the update, I think this is the most concise one. You want new skins? Whip out the credit card. Otherwise: nothing. I know that there is more coming later on, but honestly, the entire first phase of this event is a complete non starter.

Thanks for the compliment. I usually love participating in living world content, but i find very little motivation to take part in the current set of events.

I was more so hoping someone to be like “oh there’s a rare chance you might get x skin” or something to motivate me. Not trying to complain, i just dont see any point in doing the same thing as last year, only worse.
