Guild Wars 2

I know that much of the community has expressed that Halloween from year 1 was far more enjoyable than last year’s Halloween. This has been something that has been said over and over again both last year around Halloween and this year as we’ve gotten closer to it. I know it’s a little too soon to say, but I’m disappointed that it looks like we’re getting the Mad Prince instead of the Mad King’s story. While I’m still not ruling out the possibility of the scavenger hunt returning, my one hope is that we’ll see the Mad King fight come back. I try to be helpful in my criticism and suggest ways to improve instead of tearing the developers down. I’ll wait until the patch actually comes out to really pass judgement on it, but I’m not looking forward to it as much as I had been.

The scavenger hunt, while fun, was completely open world which it seems has been something the developers have moved away from (and for good reasons it seems). Besides, it was about the discovery of the Mad King himself so I don’t mind it not returning.

The dungeon fight though, seems a waste not to bring it back. It wouldn’t be out of place (fight his return every year and all) and I think would complement the Bloody Prince fight that we already have (fight King Thorn and later fight Prince Thorn).

Hopefully they change the dialog a bit so it doesn’t seem like we are ignoring the discovery of the Bloody Prince last year. If they don’t, that part may be a little silly.
