Will we ever renew the holiday festivals?
It’s not been every single year, but new content is always welcome. Though, if it’s a choice between new Halloween content, and a new map for Episode 3, I’ll choose the new (permanent) map.
It’s possible something different will be added this year; there was also Dev comments, last year, that the Mad Memoires quest line would return (didn’t make it in time last year, so maybe this year).
The festivals don’t need to change or even be added to every year if they have enough fun stuff to do already. I agree with you though that the limited time content for Halloween in GW2 is pretty awful.
All they need to do is bring back Reaper’s Rumble and promote Costume Brawl more, not by providing people with more tonics, but by giving people reasons to do things with their tonics.
Activities are dead.
