Players may argue about execution but the amount of content and effort put into the event is greatly appreciated!
I’ve hunted down dozens of haunted doors, carved pumpkins, and participated in some fun costume brawl. For many games their holiday event would end right about there but last night I ran around and earned Volume 2 of the Mad King book which looks awesome! I then jumped in the mad king labyrinth and teamed up with other players to take down a Champion Skeleton and Champion candy corn. Loved that whole instance.
Then to top off the evening I discovered the Lunatic Inquisition pvp instance. It took me a few minutes to realize what was happening but it was really fun once I got a feel for the map and flow of the game.
So thanks Anet for all the effort put in! Can’t believe we’ve only seen half of the event!
I guess you never played an MMO, expecially during an event, if you truly think this event is beautiful and worth. Nice to know you’re having fun, enjoy.

Illuminate us with some better events you have seen sir.
Clock tower is the most fun I have had in my recent memory. Everything else is great too.
Yes, this Halloween event is extraordinarily awesome. All the people that are whining because of the fact that the clocktower isn’t facerollable are getting on my nerves, and I hope that ArenaNet does NOT cater to them.
Nothing about this event is awesome. The scavenger hunt is impossible to beat without a guide.(Which everyone is using. It’s not a good sign on game design when everyone is using a guide to beat your content) The clocktower is a serious pain in the kitten (And again most won’t beat it without a guide due to the BS leaps of faith near the end. One has you jumping DOWN despite the fact that you otherwise spend the whole time going up as much as you can just to escape the rising gas. The lack of logic here baffles me. Why the hell would you jump back down and how does that not kill you?)
The super rare items in the chests should have been sold in the store themselves so we can actually get them fairly. You expect me to lottery 300 keys or drop 40g for 1 gear model? No thanks. None of the morph pots can be used in combat either. If they could then they would have been cool to acquire and fight with. But they can’t, so they’re just as useless as the ones in the chests.(Why would I want to fire a morph pot then just sit around?) So you see how all the potential this stuff could have had, was entirely wasted?
The only real good things about this event is that you can get a free pair of exotic magic find boots(Once you suffer through the clocktower race) and make some decent money off farming the Labyrinth or candy corn veins. Everything else is a waste of your time unless you want one of the extremely overpriced gear models from the lottery chests or the scavenger hunt book item. I do like the scenery edits, but almost everything else with this event is just wasted potential and time sapped from our developers that could have went to better use elsewhere. I support the armor sets in the cash shop but they ALL should have been in the cash shop; not just the non-combat ones.
Whenever this thing ends I won’t miss it. And if this is what we have to look forward to for future events, I likely won’t even participate in them. The 2 halloween BGs are a nice touch though. So there, I ended with a happy note.
Yeah it definitely has been fun. Whether I beat that darn Clock Tower or not, I am satisfy with just about everything else, like the Lunatic Inquisition, the Halloween look for Lion’s Arch, the Mad King Outfit, and completing the pumpkin carving and the Mad Memories hunt.:)
Darkness becomes light, light falls into darkness.
