Guild Wars 2

Now, aside from the server crash and the problem some people had where they couldn’t see Oswald – the first ever one-time event in Guild Wars 2 went pretty well.

And, since this was no doubt a stress test to get a feel for this kind of thing by the devs, I’d just like to say that it was fantastic. Living history, being there for Tyria changing. Even if it was just a 20-second cutscene, it makes me very optimistic for a Tyria that changes based on the lore of the world. Kind of like the War in Kryta, but with less instancing.

So, really: keep it up. You’ve got at least one person who wants more of these one-time events, because this Halloween has been stupendous.

If you’re taking about the “one time only” animation of the mad king bursting out of the hole, then I think I just saw it in game like 5 mins ago, while in overflow after porting to LA, my character was still invisible from loading and so was most of the town, but the huge pumpkin-man did appear once again, it seems only for me ^^ Bugs will be bugs..

I saw that yesterday, actually, after coming back to the game a few hours later. I think Thorn actually pops up periodically, it just doesn’t show it as a cutscene.

He pops in and out but is blasted back down by the dumond priory.
