Guild Wars 2

You cannot be serious :<

It ends the 31st/1st Depending what timezone your in, Please read up on Official Statements before posting.

So we can all spend the real Halloween with friends and family rather than being sat in our rooms on the computer, whilst our kids are crying their eyes out because we told them they can’t go trick-o-treating since we would rather celebrate it in a game.

p.s I don’t have any kids

Oh the irony… :P

“Guild Wars 2 ?@GuildWars2
We’ve made an update to our newest patch notes–the finale is October 28th, not the 31st: http://ow.ly/eHUxJ ~RB2”

Do you really have to make these just one time things? When I miss it on the 28th does that mean I’ll never get to experience it?

Silly misleading tweets.

Sorry, Didn’t see the tweet before I posted. I was going off the 2 emails & 1 webpage. So sorry for calling ya out on something that I indeed made a mistake on. (No sarcasm here, I am actually genuinely sorry)

Seriously, Mad King is suppose to show up the 31st in a Cycle of Hours…tis Tradition, to move that to the 28th makes little sense…and a one time event…seriously? So everyone who isn’t on misses the rewards/hat at that said time…thats just absurd…

That tweet was misleading. Halloween will end on the Nov 1st, approximately 6PM eastern time.

There is a one-time event in Lion’s Arch on the 28th. Watch the progress bar in the Grand Piazza.

So the finale event is on the 28th but the rest of the event will continue till Nov 1st? Thanks for the clarification!

If it makes anyone feel better I will be missing the final event due to it being a work day. I imagine its hard to accommodate every single person in the world’s schedule. I have a hard enough time accommodating my own family’s checking needs.

sounds like a silly question – but will the one-time event on the 28th be occuring over the period of 24 hours or even occur a few times? just to accomodate for the different time-zones. : )))

and what time on the 28th?? i’m from Hong Kong so we’re 12 hours ahead and if it doesn’t come on until 11:59pm of the 28th, i’d be at work already ;///

just really wanna be able to be part of this event! cause you guys have already blown me away with day 1. haha

I’d also like to know if you need to be in game at a very specific time (I’m guessing when the event meter in Lion’s Arch center reaches the end) on the 28th? I’d be pretty bummed if I missed it just because I wasn’t sitting there all day waiting around for it to “pop.”

Darn… So there IS a one-time only event on the 28th? I was hoping it would be a 24 hour repeating cycle of events similar to the Mad King’s appearance in GW1.

If I recall correctly, the time was 28th October 12:00 (noon) PST, which translates into 29th Oct, 0600 hours for me. I can make that by setting my alarm, but I wince for my friends in New Zealand for whom it’ll be 8am and they’ll be at work/school. Not to mention peeps from Asia/Eastern Europe where it’ll be an ungodly hour in the moring.

Sadly I am away on the 28th and will likely miss the event =(

Woot! I actually got lucky for once. I normally work Sundays, but I happened to get this particular Sunday off since I’ll be going to a Zombie Beer Crawl the night before so I didn’t want to go to work hungover.

Now the trick will be sleeping off the booze before the event actually starts. >.>

What a week isn’t enough time to collect 9000 candy corns?

So what’s the time for the one time thing? Sucks that it won’t be repeatable so the least you cold do is tell people when to be there.

Please give us an exact time with a timezone.

I hope it’s a “one time thing” like Halloween / Wintersday was in GW1: happens on one day only, but on multiple times so everyone can enjoy it, no matter what their time zone is.
Otherwise it would be extremely disappointing: “oh you had to work on 28th, that’s just too bad” sort of thing.

I am speculating it might be the opening of the mad realm. After that I guess you will have multiple opportunities to do the other events, but once the realm is open it does not make sense to close it again or does it?

Ya it is sad that is a one time thing .MY Internet is slow on updates and i talking about like 33.54 Kbs to 45.65 Kbs but in game no lag. So will i miss it ?

A one time event that happens around the usual timeframe for updates would be incredibly stupid, so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume it actually lasts 24h again.

I hope it’s like GW1, where the finale runs every few hours for 24h. Otherwise, it’s going to be a mess.

Why whiners have to whine all the time, for everything they can?

I don’t play on holidays, because i have a family that needs me… but i don’t while like you all do for everything… you whine for ANET doing something, AND for not doing the same thing… for skins to be rare AND to be more accessible… and so on…
oh, i have a friend who opened 20000 chests and got no skin…

A one time event, really? And on Monday morning night when entire Europe is sleeping? Why are we getting screwed again, if I may ask?

I doubt they are making it like that. Just wait for the event to happen before jumping to conclusions.

School night so I can’t afford to stay up till 2,3 AM.Another event missed coz of Americans.
