Guild Wars 2

Sorry but not impressed.

Farming candy corn gets old
The maze has no purpose other than farming
The inquisition is nothing more than annoying pvp
The special device you get in LA that needs candy corn to work does not do much aside from eat candy corn
The drop rate for trick or treat bags is horrible
Crafting items can not be auto deposited to your bank like normal craft items, wasting bag space
Clock tower jumping puzzle – won’t even go there in this review

Not seeing much fun in these events – very grindy, same old thing with massive mobs running around and pulling you to them or knocking you back (same mechanic as in Orr) – nothing new.

Gets real old real fast. And when you complete something – no real reward.

Some may have fun with these – I did not.

Farming Candy Corn: Every holiday event in the history of MMOs has some aspect of farming involved be it boss farming, item farming or whathaveyou. The drop rate for trick or treat bags is actually a lot better than I’m used to. Sure they mostly spit out candycorn, but you can then use that candycorn to get Personalized Bags from dressed up kids in LA which feel like they have a much better chance to drop things like recipes and rare ingredients. Not being able to Collection Store the skulls and teeth seems like a reasonable approach to get people to want to use them ASAP so they’re out of the way, not to mention it makes it more inconvenient to try and store them away to try and profit on them in Spring or something (I count that as a positive).

Jumping Puzzle: cannot be worse than that god-forsake Griffon bomb run.

just wait for Christmas it’ll be candy cane shards needed to make candy cane weapons and shields (candy Armour anyone?).
