Hey guys,

I posted some information about an In-Game Event coming up on October 18th. It’s a little in-game celebration of the launch of the Halloween Festival, and we hope you’ll pop into the game and join us.

Please head to the linked thread if you’d like to know more.

I’m glad you asked about this. We’ll be in the NA zones between 2 and 3 PM Pacific time / 5 and 6 PM Eastern Time / 9 and 10 GMT, but our EU Team members will be participating in the event earlier, most likely in the morning hours of October 18th… well “morning” for those of us in the studio, on the west coast of the US.

So you’ll be likely to find some of us just about any hour that you join on Tuesday, October 18th. We’ll hope to see you there!!

I wish I could be in game during that time but being a shift worker those are my sleeping hours. I’ve only ever seen one ANet person in game and that was Gaile at the pride walk.

I may be in the wrong LA instance for this. Is there a squad invite going?

Are the devs spreading out to the instances? Traveling between them? Or was this not planned to go beyond the first instance they spawned?

I joined a squad saying ANet was there, found one ANet person standing there silently as a crowd gathered to hope for action. I am sad, last year was so fun, this one is a wash for me as I have to go soon for Tuesday evening errands

I saw several devs in the Labyrinth when the event first kicked off. I haven’t seen any in LA yet.

Gratz to the small minority of players who actually got to attend, while the rest of us waited vainly in other instances.

I didn’t see any, either, other than the one in the pic above.

I did see one previously, a day or two ago, and I’m wondering….I thought the GM names were supposed to be GM Someone, not Gm Someone (as in screenshot above). At least, that is what the Devs stated/posted before. I’ve seen the Gm twice now.

If you are referring to Gaile, that is Cm not Gm I believe. Prob for Communications (or Community) Manager or some such.

There were more people than I could count in my instance and we waited for an hour and not one sign of any of you. You cannot tell me that you didn’t know there were going to be many instances. Couldn’t you have divided yourselves up a bit?

Why tell us about the In-Game Events “with Devs” if only a very small minority of players actually got to attend? Very disappointing.

I fully understand that they didn’t have enough devs to have one in every LA map. It was a bit disheartening, though, to have an ANet tagged asura show up and stand there mute on all channels. Likely the ANet guild should have strongly urged its members NOT to rep in LA during that hour if they did not intend to interact with the crowds.

Also there should have been taxis. I looked in LFG repeatedly and the only squad I found for the event was the one that took me to the aforementioned mute asura.

Looks like not many people got to enjoy this event at least by forum feedback. I’m glad I didn’t take time out of my day to try to participate.

A lot of us hopped maps, and I’m real sorry that we missed you. It’s reminds me of my reply to people when they say “This is the first time I’ve seen you in the game!” I let them know that I’m in the game every night and for a long while on weekends and holidays but with so many worlds, and in some cases so many instances, it’s not unexpected that we might not come across one another.

With this event, devs were on the Clocktower, in the Labyrinth, and in various corners of Lion’s Arch in different worlds, both NA and EU. Some were in the starter zones, too.

I’ll give this subject some thought with the hopes of finding a way to make sure we have more coverage in the future. Thanks for the feedback.
