Have you tried submitting a ticket for it? I came back to the game after a few years and found I didn't have my celebration hat any more as that was also pre-wardrobe. One support ticket later and it was returned to me.

It is my birthday on Halloween and I am getting old, which means I am getting grumpy - so you better do something good or I will QQ :)

I was in the mid 30's for level and had to go running through some higher level zones to complete the scavenger hunt. By the time I got the final piece, I was running around naked because I'd died so many times I could no longer afford the cost to repair my armor; that back piece drilled into me the value of a well-timed Dodge Roll the hard way. It's also the only back item I've found so far to shed light around the character, which is surprisingly relevant. I get a little warm and fuzzy each and every time I go into the "dark room" in Obsidian Sanctum because I don't have to grab a torch to see where I'm going. Back when that area was actually populated, being able to have a real weapon in hand when you rounded a corner made the difference between life and death.

As someone WHO MISSED (and so without back) first Halloween I +1 this.

[Iron.4372]

I still remember my first Halloween in Guild Wars 1 - 2005 and my first pumpkin head mask. It was something absolutely new in my gaming experience. I would love to see something , that will bring memories of 2017's Halloween, when I look back from 2027 :)

[PyrateSilly.4710]

Maybe start adding a new mask every year like in the first Guild Wars? It was still fun to do the same quests each year because at the end you got a different years mask.

[Maizan.8516]

I have the base version of the Halloween backpack but would love to have a chance to upgrade it to the fancy glowing version. Regardless I love the way it looks on my necromance.

[Shaaba.5672]

Gaile, you're a tease. :p I'm anxiously awaiting a start date and some hype.

Hmmm. It appears Anet posted a tentative date for some new PvP updates on 10/17. It seems likely this will coincide with their next major build, which would in theory be Halloween...

[Gaile Gray.6029]

Happy birthday in advance, Paladine. I must say, that's an awesome day on which to be born!

[TriEdge.5149]

Can't wait Halloween is my favorite GW2 Event :D

[Suinz.5968]

If they bring back the Witch's hat, I'll be happy. :)

[AegisRunestone.8672]

Here's hoping the they bring back the cat ears.

[TheOrlyFactor.8341]

LOOTOBERFEST! :D

> Ill be happy if they bring back the backpack so i can finish it :/

 

I'd have to re-do it as well because there was no existing wardrobe and storage space was limited. So I had to reluctantly delete both of my Mad King Memoir's :\ Some people were able to get theirs back after providing screenshot proof, but that wasn't a thought I had at that time.

[minion.1987]

not really looking forward to this as it might be the same as last year which means this will be 3 years in a row. if it's different then good it'll make more people want to join in if not then there might be less people doing its events and more focused on the expansion or just not play at all.

[Ayakaru.6583]

I don't even want/need new Halloween content anymore, i just want old removed content back, like the inquisition

[Elaysia.1987]

I literally came back to GW's 2 for the Halloween event, and it's hard waiting!

[Lithril Ashwalker.6230]

i just want the new masks to be dyable, if its the CENTER pic of the teaser with the chick with black Scelera and red irisis, i want the black and red fully dyable damnit!

This is totally offtopic, but Paladine, I really really hope you have a character named Fizban who is a befuddled old elementalist. Happy early birthday, either way. B-)

 

On topic, looking forward to Halloween this year in Tyria. I'm not really expecting anything too out of the ordinary but I'm hopeful that like previous years we'll get some new weapon/armor skins to chase after, and perhaps a few other new toys? Maybe another home instance kitty to recruit to our cat armies?

[aandiarie.7195]

So no new items for halloween this year?

[Lithril Ashwalker.6230]

> @aandiarie.7195 said:

there ARE, look at the gw2 twitter

[Compax.4213]

Please bring "Mad Memoires" back - i would like to complete the complete edition after all these years xD

> unless they remove the timer in the clock tower it will be yet another boring event.

 

Oh my, the Clocktower is the only JP I have not mastered yet, because it is so visually irritating that I cannot focus on the task. Unlike the Wintersday JP, this one feels like any split second counts or else you won't make it. It stresses me out and I don't have the nerve to try it again, which is a shame. By the way, the Wintersday JP is my favorite one in the whole game. <3

[Shamdon.6512]

In dealing with Halloween they should give us a recipe to refine the candy materials into their greater froms.

[Pimpology.6234]

better stock up on trick o treat bags and candy corn if u haven't already, prices going up. looks like new stuff is on the way this year. but they keeping tight lipped about it.
