The tower does not count towards the mad king title.
I’ve completed the tower achievement and I’m still 4/5, same as everyone else.
The last point is from the attend the party achievement that we can’t get until halloween.
The whole “no elementalists” thing really confuses me, what with all the buffs you pick up just from them switching attunements.

Been having this issue since early in the game’s release. Funny enough it did not happen during any of the Beta weekends. Sometimes it gets really bad too.
Like the other posters, this issue does not come up anywhere I’m using my mouse…except in GW2.
No difference. It’s the same item.
If you want one, buy it while the event is still going and the prices are reasonable since you have to figure the price is only going to go up after the event when people aren’t adding more to the game via lucky mad king dungeon loots.
Recipes will definitely be usable after the event, they’ve said that much.
As for any halloween components needed in crafting the recipes, you’ll have to buy those from the TP since you wont’ be able to get candy corn and all that from gameplay. Thus take a look at anything you might want to craft that requires halloween stuff and go buy what you need while it’s dirt cheap.
Don’t sell it now, just stay calm and wait a few days. It’ll be a grueling wait, watching the price dip and rise and worrying about it. Get past that, you’ll get a lot of money.
How much money? I don’t know. I can say it’ll be enough more money that you’ll be glad you waited.
They’re cheap because of perception.
When someone gets one, they’re afraid the market is being flooded by them and they just have to get rid of it before the price plummets.
Buyers are also wary because they’ve seen items start out high and drop in price already. How do I know that? Because that’s exactly what I did. They think “I’ll wait and see what the price looks like before I get one”. This reduces demand. This is the big one right here honestly. The item just needs buyers. We know people WANT the halloween weapons. Enough people want them to clear the TP 200 times over. But when people feel confident they can get a better deal, they won’t buy (yet).
Long story short, just let 2 days go by (or 3, whenever the event is over). The price is going to skyrocket. The main reason won’t even be that new ones aren’t dropping. The main reason will be that people KNOW that, and think “oh god gotta buy it now before it shoots way up in price!”. Of course when many people do that, they drive the price up anyway.
It probably won’t even take the actual end of the event. People will start buying them up more on the last day, because they know the price is about to go up by a lot.

I think visiting (not completing) the tower jump puzzle is one.
Yeah I’m definitely having fun with all this. They’ve set the bar pretty high for holiday events in MMOs with this and it’s their first holiday!
I like the way they’ve split it into acts rather than hitting you with it all at once too. It’s cool having several mini content updates one after the other like this.
The stuff like how much/little loot you get is just a matter of tweaking numbers for the future. If that’s the main issue….we’re in a really good place going forward.
Looking forward to what they have for christmas.
First I’ve heard about it.
Doubt they do, considering the price on those on the TP looks about the same as it was yesterday
Something like 7-8 green items 60+, the bag reward and some candy bags.
Curious tho, is it because im level 54 that im not getting any luck with the loot?.
Doesn’t look like it. I don’t know if the chance is better at 80 or not, but I got an arachnophia on a lev 41 alt.
They drop halloween items. I got an Arachnophia from one.
I ran it like 6 times and got nothing but greens, then got Arachnophobia, gotten a couple other random no name exotics. They also give BLC boosters and drop BL keys too.
No kidding. I’m surprised this even went into play. It’s more profitable than anything else one can do in the game. Surprised we haven’t seen a nerf already.
What’s funny is the topic of this thread after seeing that this is the most profitable and rewarding thing to do since the game was released….by a huge margin.
It starts in 3 1/2 hours.
It’s a shame the tower is temporary. It’d be funny seeing what sort of things people would be able to pull off say 6 months from now in videos with the tower.
“Here’s one of me doing the whole thing while running backwards!”
I don’t think this has anything to do with your gender/race. Seems to happen to a lot of people of all types.
All the problems people seem to have with others blocking their view, I just haven’t had. Not that I claim they don’t exist, but I’ve been surprised it’s been such a key issue rather than people complaining about general difficulty/speed necessary to complete the tower.
I just run the beginning of the run extremely aggressively. Either I take a small lead and keep it (and if I fall, has nothing to do with the others) or people are spaced out a little, whichever. In either case people standing on me just hasn’t ever really been a problem. You need to run it aggressively anyway in order to have enough time to fall onto that platform in the last portion of the run and be able to stand up and continue before the mists gets you.
This isn’t a matter of me running it a million times and now being so good at it that I just blow past everyone or something, that’s just how I started running it after I was comfortable with the first 1/3 of the course.
That’s it.
I’m unsubbing! =P
I was joking earlier in the tower about how you’re not pro unless you buy and sell on the trading post during the run. =P
If you could work a few of those in that’d be funny (during active parts of the run, not like at the early platform during the 8 second pause waiting for things to drop into place)
There’s no point to having it other than as a souvenir.
I have to agree with the wait being really obnoxious, it’s almost like the game was forcing me to alt tab. That’s the only thing I don’t like about the tower
I predict whatever it is people will complain one or more of the following things:
1. The loot was not adequate.
2. The loot was too hard to get.
3. The loot was too easy to get.
4. People are selling loot for too much.
5. The loot is so common the loot is selling for very little.
6. There is no loot and there needs to be loot.
The only thing I would fix would be killing that wait between attempts…or at least lessening it greatly.
I think the clock tower puzzle is very cool.
Hope to see more things like this, with completely optional achievements with no titles or any sort of thing people feel they “have” to get.
While elementalists need work, it’d be really hard for me to switch from them now. Playing other classes (including engineer) is a complete snoozefest compared to gameplay as an ele. It feels “right” playing them.
I still wish it had been my first 80.
Out of combat weapon swap should be added imo as a great quality of life change.
In combat would be sickeningly powerful. They’d end up having to nerf so many things you’d have to piano 40 buttons to get your damage out.
I don’t mind that going PURE glass cannon is just not a good idea due to horrid survivability.
What I call into question is that the damage for doing so isn’t even particularly impressive. We’ve seen on other classes the damage glass cannon builds put out. They might not be a good idea to run, but they definitely do at least put out the big damage.
Eles don’t seem to do that.
Big thing that’s not fun is staring at the waiting bar before you’re told you’re allowed to play.
agree on them being account bound
I guess the average gamer won’t get their way and will fail this time.
Being average should mean you don’t always succeed.
You don’t need to complete the tower for the title.
You don’t need to complete the tower for the title.
You don’t need to complete the tower for the title.
You don’t need to complete the tower for the title.
You don’t need to complete the tower for the title.
Figured maybe that’d get people’s attention since they’ve ignored others above me saying it
ele no speed boost.
Only thing I don’t like is the long wait before you can start again, the bar moves so slowly.
Isn’t it okay that some things are going to be hard and most people won’t finish them?
I mean it’s just an achievement.
Let’s face it, it’s the only hard jumping puzzle in the game. So I didn’t mind.
I’m sure you’ll still be able to do it. Just as you can still do Act 1 stuff right now with Act 2 out.
You should be able to do it pretty well right now at a low level, since the areas are crowded.
As for dying while making it to the general vicinity of where you need to be, just living to the next waypoint is sufficient for progress there
I tried it a bunch of times…and then I succeeded.
You can do it too.
The groups are supposed to make it hard. It’s intentional.
Quite frankly, the rate on the new chests is low enough that after you’re done you’ll practically wish you kept the boosters.
I wish I had just kept most of the boosters instead, heh.
The mystery tonics crafted with artifice are the same as the ones you get from the Black lion chests. They even stack right on each other.
Same thing, not similar thing.
Haha, you guys are silly
Expecting effects/cool things for non greatswords.
I’m just hoping for more skins because anything stat related is just honestly of little value, given the extreme ease of maxing stats.
Town clothes are a straight up dud and need to be reworked.
I hardly see anyone bother with them period. The ONLY time I see them is specifically in the region where people are doing costume brawl. Never anywhere else or at any other time since release.
The instant the event is over, bank on continuing the games tradition of not seeing people bother with town’s clothes.
Course it’ll be fought kicking and screaming until it’s finally changed 3 years from now, much like every other developer insists on doing instead of adding appearance tabs.
It’d be truly bizarre if they were. I wouldn’t worry about it.
I doubt skins are just going to suddenly flood the world, they’ll probably be rare from these chests too.
This “second chance” is more likely just an attempt to effectively increase the drop rate on the skins retroactively by some defined amount.
Every time anything in this game isn’t an exotic people complain about it.
Are you really completing the story quest without getting an exotic weapon first? I mean that’s the first thing you should buy at level 80 and lets not pretend crafted exotic weapons are expensive. Even if you have 0 copper when you hit 80 if you bother you can buy one within a few hours just doing events on orr or something.
I’d be fine with them being exotic…I just don’t see why it matters to people. Reminds me of when people were complaining about the stat layout on legendary weapons, as though they wouldn’t have long since gotten their existing weapon with exactly the stat layout they want long before.
I’m guessing the only reason they’re rare is so it doesn’t have some weird effect on crafted weapon value due to people insisting on using green gear for the maximum amount of time possible at 80.
The halloween stuff is definitely very cool.
My only complaints come in things like the requirements/cost of some things….but those are just a matter of numbers.
As for what they’ve done with this event contentwise it is excellent.
