Guild Wars 2

So the patch for the Halloween festivities is coming Monday but there really hasn’t been a lot of information released. We know that there will be new bosses, jumping puzzles, and mini dungeons added permanently. We know there will be four acts, each released on a fixed schedule and some costume brawls. Aside from that ANet has been pretty tight-lipped about this.

It’s good to keep players guessing until the last minute because then they’d be speculating and it should in theory generate lots of excitement. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case. It seems instead of seeing posts on what the patch on Monday will add to the game people are more content to post on other things like “why I’m losing interest”, “who at ANet thought this was a good idea”, blah blah blah. It might be a good idea to release more information just to pique players’ interest. This upcoming event warrants much discussion I think as it is the first major content patch in the game.

I’m curious as to what were the “frightening festivities begin at noon, Pacific time (GMT -7), on October 19”? Has anyone seen anything yet? I’ve seen a lot of references to Oct 22, but if that’s the start date, why was a newsletter sent out that said Oct 19?

Well actually, there was a ton of Halloween threads all over the place. Anet just cleaned them all up and merged them into one thread. So it just seems like there is barely any talk about it, cause everything is now in one thread instead of a bunch.
