Guild Wars 2

to use cobs for Gwynefyrdd?

Would love to know this so i know when to buy the rest of the cobs i need for my girlfriends mini. Of course i got the mini and did not want it, so i stopped opening bags to give to her. She’s had no luck yet , so we will need to buy a few cobs. Thanks hopefully for an answer from Anet !

EDIT: I know the festival vendor is there and will be, but i was hoping Anet would let us know if he will offer it once Halloween is gone in 3 days. Thanks for the response though

Well there is a festival vendor in the NW corner of LA against the wall who offered some of last year’s Halloween rewards. No idea how many he will carry once this year’s event is over.

Also interested to know if everything the halloween NPCs sell will carry over to the Festival NPC.

I think the NPC will sell only a small selection rather than the whole lot.
If there is anything you really, really want then think about topping up whatever currency you need from the TP to buy it in the next day or so.

Halloween ends on the 6th of November right? 2 weeks after it started?

I’m trying to get the mini too (I’ve got about 40 cobs so far) and I decided right at the start I’m not going to risk assuming it’ll be on the festival vendor after Halloween (or available next year) so I’m farming as much as I can and then I’m going to buy whatever I need just before Halloween ends.

I’m not sure that Halloween doesn’t end on Tuesday (usual patch day). Some of the Halloween items say ‘3 Days (left) only’ in the Gem Store. And the official release page states it won’t be 2 full weeks.

’The Shadow of the Mad King, our annual Halloween festival, returns for nearly two weeks of ghoulish capers, spooky fights, and frightening fun!’

Good luck.

No answer from you Anet?

They mentioned nearly two weeks because the halloween was added during the launch of HOT instead of the usual tuesday patch. So, I guess halloween will be removed on the usual tuesday patch.

the halloween vendor items should be available from the festival npc as per last year, as far as i can see all the rewards are essentially the same as last years anyways

That would be kind of bad.

2 weeks is already way to short, they did not give a real date, so many people expect it to be there at least until Thursday / Friday (2 weeks after HoT patch).

And with all the crashes and other bugs so many have had since release, they should really extent it even was it until Thursday. So they can fix all the problems before adding new stuff like raids, and people can get the experience from Halloween they should. For example, doing Mad Kind Says without crashing half way in.

Tuesday is too soon, heck Thursday is too soon.

I also noticed the gem-store items being gone in two days ( Tuesday), so not sure when Halloween is supposed to go away, and it looks like giving a actual date is to hard?

One thing is for sure, for as long kitten many people still have problems, bugs and crashes the game is not yet ready for a new major patch / added content. It will need to patches to solve the crashes first.

Gaile Gray says it’s two weeks (not 1,5 week).

She also explains why it cannot be longer as two weeks “I don’t think the team can extend the holiday in any form, as there are other things coming, and all the various teams within the development team need to get everything properly scheduled and good to go.”

So the new patch is clearly supposed to add more stuff. I think raids. But imho they should really fix all the problems first before adding more things. Then they better delay the schedule with 1 week.

If players expect it to be until Thursday/Friday, they did not read the release page, which clearly states it will not be a full two weeks. Thus, the longest it could run, and the statement hold true, would be until Wednesday. I’m pretty sure, with the Gem Store as a clue, it will be over sometime on Tuesday, our regular patch day.

The people who think it is for 2 weeks can have read Gaile Gray’s post.

And 13 days, 23 hours and 59 minutes is also nearly two weeks. So that is a little vague. The only concrete date we have is 2 weeks from Gaile Gray.

I am not sure what it’s supposed to be honestly. The gem-store items indeed end in 2 days, on the other hand the backpack also got put in later and then there is the ghostly Quaggan. I do not know if that one is supposed to be Halloween related. I think it is, and that does not end in two days.

How about a Dev actually get on here and give us a answer. They know when it will end but don’t want to let us know for some reason. I know they reading these threads.

Probably not many reading this thread at 1:30am. Lol. I would hope most are sleeping so they can be up tomorrow morning, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed!

My money is on it ending on Tuesday but, yes, it’s a pretty easy score for a grown-up to just tell us on the forum.
