Guild Wars 2

Ugh…I guess I’ll come back in another week. I got all the achievements and I have no desire to grind the Lab any more. HOT maps are dead due to everyone grinding the Halloween events so I can’t complete anything.

Well, that’s not true. We had a PUG Gerent earlier today.

The majority of players are pleased that SotMK is still up right now.

This is just all of you guessing, noone really knows because Arena Net have not cleared it out. And there is endless of threads asking the same thing. So unless you are from Arena Net i appreciate your effort, but i really want the answer from them.

The link maddoctor gave a timeframe on the GW2 homepage.

I agree a quick confirmation should have occured since we know they read the forums and thus seen the question, but the answer was provided on their releases page.

It is not a specific date and imo i can not even begin to understand why we never got one. It would be a good communication which any other game i played always given and as far as i remember we also got in this game in the past, so why the heck not this year. Just one of the small things that annoys me. I want to be able to plan my game time and knowing when something starts and ends is one of those things that makes my game time easier.

The official release page clearly states “nearly two weeks”. What more do you need?

And the exact same text was used in 2015 and 2014, without any specific dates. So in 2016 it’s the same as the previous 2 years.

The Shadow of the Mad King, our annual Halloween festival, returns for nearly two weeks of ghoulish capers, spooky fights, and holiday fun! Gather together with the citizens of Lion’s Arch to enjoy another year of tricks, treats, and terrible jokes.

Same text… (in 2014 replace The Shadow of the Mad King with Blood and Madness)

Don’t you feel a bit silly now?

Because their release page was wrong? The one who updated their release page though…

It’s one thing to not post an end date, but a different one to post a wrong date.

No because after i made clear why i wanted the answer from A-Net and noone else since all of us were guessing and only A-Net knew, you gave me a kittenty attitude back and question what it was more i wanted. The fact was and still is NOONE but A-Net know the answer, and the rest are guesses based on god knows what depending on what and how people interpret other peoples responses.

Also To Gaile. Thank you for giving the response, it is most appreciated. I would like to see a more open time scheduled in future so that we can plan around how we want to play it. I can understand there are issues around it though, but still if possible this would be a good thing
