Guild Wars 2

I have to say, I LOVED the Halloween events in Guild Wars so I was stoked for what Guild Wars 2 would bring.

While excited for the event, why is it starting so late in the month/so short? Only 9 days doesn’t leave casual players much time to enjoy and explore the content.

Thoughts?

9 days seems perfectly fine – do you go trick or treat 9 nights in a row or have Halloween parties every night in the month of October? no – things that last too long lose their luster and get stale (I’m looking at you 4-6 week Rift “events.”)

Well longer woudnt make any sense.Thats like starting a christmas event in november.It may seem like a goood idea to make it longer,but if you think about it the lenght wont make it immersive.

I think that it’s just fine. I mean, I don’t see much sense in celebrating Halloween two weeks after the date itself.

Hey, Wal-Mart starts Christmas aisle in October so..

Honestly, I don’t think a Halloween even for 14 days is too much. Like, October 15-31 or whatever.

I am personally stoked for it… but Working Monday – Friday on App development Kinda takes up the most of my time, which is one of the reasons I love the fact that this is not a Subscription game is that I do not feel Obligated to play due to the fact that I need to pay into it. BLAH BLAH BLAH.

On topic:
I personally feel that the Halloween Event could use a continuation, but at the same time maybe rounding it up to an even 10 days. Maybe ending it with a Social “Ball” or something at the end for players to meet up do some event related RP or just sit around and talk.

Point being:
I guess I’m on the fence….

The length seems a bit right, IMO. However I’ll be gone for three days of it so I’ll be missing part of it. I’ve been in other MMOs where the events seemed to last a LONG time (I think Rift seemed to have very long events and some seemed to run right into each other).
