Guild Wars 2

If you “DO” have a character already (As I do), The “Guesting” trick worked for me. And again, you MUST have a character that you can first use play on to confirm the guesting, and then I could get into the character creation screen, instead of the black screen of death.

Same here , sent in a ticket.. and so far just got the Canned response to wait……

Now having the same problem…..

ExistenceByProxy : I totally agree! This even is only for the higher level, actual money spending individuals I have even posted a new thread on the forum stating so. I am sadly disappointed.

First of all I do understand that there are many who have the time to level up to 80 and spend all day farming and getting required things. I.E. the gross amount of items that one needs to actually craft a halloween item.

But this is not my gripe. My biggest let down on this event is that after watching a few blogs and teasers for this event from ArenaNet saying how the halloween events will NOT be level based, or any need to actually be a higher level. Well imagine my shock that the main event (finding the Mad Memories book pages) was indeed geared to higher level players. I have not had the time to level any of my toons up past 26 when I started the quest. The first one was ok since I was only entering a zone that was 35ish max, I didn’t die too quickly. But Act 2 brought me into zones that if a mob looked at me I died. I did however make it with my character and get the blasted book. But I could not foresee any of my other lower level characters venturing forth to do this also. I spent a LOT of money on armor repairs and traveling, way too much to just be able to justify running around with a flaming book of poo on my back.

Before you rant on…. I do not belong to a guild, I did not “group” with other players as they always seem to think that it’s not necessary as this is a no kill steal game. So I was alone and it was up to me to “follow” a crowd and hope for the best. This is not always fun, and only works some of the time. (one caveat: I LOVE that players take the time (well most players anyway) to revive fallen players, or at least give it a good effort. Kudos on that!!)

I really thought that there would be events that every level could participate in (NO not PVP or WvW — I don’t do those and many don’t either — I’m a PvE kinda guy) So besides running around in Lions Arch wasting time playing boxing match, or food fights, there was nothing obtainable for new or lower level players. So a lot of people will be left high and dry after the dust from this event clears, while all the higher level players will be running around with the trophies and rubbing it in our low level faces.

You dropped the Ball ArenaNet, and made this event so far only for the Higher level, I don’t have anything better to do in real life so I’m here 24/7 players.
I love this game, but this event has left me cold. Maybe today things will change.. what’s happening at 12? We shall see.
