Guild Wars 2

I still see candycorn nodes pop up in my side vision (and on my minimap) only to disappear moments later.

I miss it, too. It was the most fun I’ve ever had during a GW event. It doesn’t help that once in a while I’ll see a phantom candy corn node and get all excited, hehe.

It’s not me then… I saw the same. Thought I was imagining things!

About extending Halloween, however much I loved the extra it gave, I’m glad it’s over. Time to start preparing for the next content update and then the December surprise (which will be Wintersday, I’m guessing). Let the anticipation build!

I couldn’t wait for it to be over. I do miss the quaggan pirate though.

I absolutely LOVED the Halloween event (especially the Clock Tower) and wished it went a wee bit longer. Preferably at least 1.5-2 weeks (so it could have been spread out over 2 weekends) and no acts that are only available for one day so more players with heavy work/family obligations could get the full Halloween experience. I was able to get my Emissary title, but know many people who were weren’t able to due the VERY limited nature of the event. I and most of these folks I play with come from an MMO where the special events ran for a solid two weeks and the feedback I heard about the event from my guildmates was consistently “the Halloween event was AWESOME, but it was all crammed into too short of a timeframe.”

I totally understand ArenaNet had a development timetable to stick to and was unable to extend out the Halloween event. But it’s my hope they’ll listen to this feedback and work this kind of feedback into their development timetable for future events.

I think that the time that it lasted was perfect.

The fact that people are wishing that it lasted longer is indicative that it lasted just the right amount of time. If they had the event last longer it would have dragged and gotten boring.

This way people are left wanting which means that the next event will be appreciated that much more.

Yeah I know what you’re saying, but I still think it was too short, for the reasons others have listed (family obligations, work etc). Especially since there were four phases, and I was one of those that missed the first. -.-

I agree they shouldn’t go on TOO long, but I think there was a lot to do and the timeframe was a bit too short for it.

I do kind of wish the Halloween event had gone on a couple more days, perhaps to the weekend after Halloween.

Two weeks (or two weekends) seems like a reasonable amount of time for these kind of things.

And I thought I was the only one hallucinating.

Oh man, serious withdrawal here.
That screencap brought a tear to my eye
