Guild Wars 2

Reward tracks….. for wvsw the final gift is a 20 slot bag……just what?!!? Why would anyone need another way to get a 20 slot bag at this point. You already gave us cheap 20 and 17 slot bags for wvswers. And the rest of the reward is just halloween bags….which sure i can get behind but when ur final reward is ANOTHER 20 slot bag to toss in the garbage its a waste.

Tp: honestly this is really sparse pickings. What you offered leading up to halloween (the cats and the other costumes and stuff) was way wayyy better than this stuff (imo).

The new weapon skins….i think the shield looks okay other than that its alll really boring (again its my opinion).

Just nothing really exciting to buy with gems so far…..even the gem prices reflect this.
The halloween events are hopefully gonna be good enough.
I just hope more stuff comes out of this halloween. Was hoping for some excitement at the start to get my hyped.

I was really disappointed with last halloween. I mean I attended the 2012 one and it was awesome! there were special events and skins in wvsw….and all over the pve maps….and it was really great. Lions arch was awesome…the events were fun and unique and different from normal pve at the time.
Just now…..its area specific and limited….and dulll…..not a living world event anymore. I’m starting to think anet is doing this on purpose to be more tolerant to special cultures in the community….but its wrong to limit the game based on such ideas! Its really just an easy way to do less work.

Just hoping halloween isn’t like last years…..just not a good start i guess is the point of this thread (IMO). Hopefully things change in the coming week?

This is the Halloween patch, and the only Halloween patch. Content is not going to change while the festival is active. Like you said, it’s all just your opinion. Conclusion: GW2’s Halloween festival is not your thing. I’m sure you’re not the only one. In fact, I’m pretty sure that for every single aspect in the game there is a number of players who don’t like it. They just can’t please everyone, nor should they try to. It’s a neverending disaster trying to please every single player in your community.

Might be useful to change the thread title to “Halloween Feedback” and have it used for merging other threads into. I think the only way to get a dev response or potential changes for next year is if there is one big feedback thread.

What content would you like ANet to stop working on so that Halloween is full of as much new stuff each year as it was in 2012?

Personally, I far prefer the current plan: each year, Halloween is largely the same. A nice break from the rest of Tyria, without too much new stuff to go crazy over. In fact, I’d like to see at least one such repeat-content festival every 6-10 weeks. (Currently we have Halloween, Wintersday, Lunar New Year, and SAB. I’d like to see the Queen’s Jubilee return, something like the Zephyr Festival, and more.)
