Donari.5237 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Batel, just in case, you may want to get through that story part. Assuming you have time in your day to work on it, of course, and aren't many episodes behind as it is. While the dialogue in the event hasn't changed for years and ANet doesn't revamp festivals all that much, the story events are really begging to be mentioned in this year's spooky time. In fact, if the event *doesn't* go into some of the lore implications of the story, you may find yourself faced with spoilers from people posting their disappointment with that. I'm pretty psyched for it all myself, and am keenly interested in this Mad King's Raceway for beetles. Not that I'm pro with beetle or anything but hopefully it'll be something most everyone can enjoy and not just the keyboard dance masters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowHawk.3615 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I love Halloween but I wish it was world wide Halloween not just Lions Arch with the cool sky and spookiness. Also I'm looking forward to eventual new hair/faces one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just about to complete Living World Season *Two*...nowhere near Season Four yet, and at the rate I work through the stories, it'll probably be some time in 2078 that I'll get around to Long Live the Lich. :tongue: I think I'll wait a little while after the event has started and see what people say about it. But thank you for the heads-up, Donari! I'll be cautious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciger.1679 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I'm not just ready, I'm VERY ready. B) I've got gems saved up to buy stuff from the gem store (already bought one thing, that being the lunatic guard outfit that showed up today), got a bunch of keys ready for when the BLC swaps, got a toon ready to farm Laby, I'm BEYOND ready. :D What I am interested in seeing this year, some things that I'm hoping for, is Joko to show up being taunted by Mad King Thorn in some capacity (lel), praying that we get a Halloween beetle though I'm expecting we'll have to pay gems for it (I'll get it as long as it isn't a 2k gem skin), it looks like some potentially shiny stuff involving the lunatic armor was teased, upgrades perhaps? I'm just all around excited, I had tons of fun this year and I'll have tons of fun this year! And lots of gold to earn. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thank you for the heads-up, Donari! I'll be cautious. Yeah, it would be hard to get through all of that unless you and your friend devoted all your time (no work, no school, no other activities) to it over the next week. So be cautious as you say. There is an article discussing what is coming in terms of content and it looks like the fallout from Long Live the Lich will be addressed in a collection achievement that you only unlock by completing that episode. Which means the forums will be full of people discussing that collection and its implications vis a vis the story, beware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I discovered a couple of weeks ago, there is a crypt hidden in old Ascalonian ruins by the Black Citadel that had a connection to the Mad King's son:  I want to see this area (and events involved) return! <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saniyah.1984 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Hopefully they made the old Haloween skinns(Ghastly Grinning Shield, Scythe Staff and Greatsaw ) come back this year i think 1500+ Gold is WAY too much. It would be awsum if we could buy it for 250 Candy Corn Cobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akari Storm.6809 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Pleased to hear Reaper's Rumble is coming back, was there year one but absent since. I remember it being fun at the time but that was 6yrs ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boysenberry.1869 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 The charm of Halloween kind of wore off after the old Lion's Arch went boom. Hordes of people standing around goofing off, people playing with cauldrons and toys and the non-stop costume brawling. Nowadays the mood just feels like "grind lab". You have to actually plead for a costume brawl. Meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't gotten there yet, and my friend and I are trying so hard to avoid spoilers... If you want to avoid spoilers, i suggest avoiding the forum honestly.

Even tho most of the stuff is the same every year, they do update it every year with some fresh things. Reapers Rumble is back, havent been available since 2012. A new beetle race. New collection achievements ”thorn vs joko” And new skins, infusions etc So quite alot tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demitel.1340 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Halloween is my favourite seasonal event in Guild Wars 2, it's nice to get Reaper’s Rumble back as well. Excited to see what's new this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nekretaal.6485 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I'm not ready. I have to clean my inventory on a character to do lab with. Last year I used a Dragonhunter. I liked the long range bouncing arrow shots for running around, and I like the loot stick for doors, but the loot stick is nerfed. What's the best class now?

Probably staff Reaper with shouts for max AoE tagging. Bouncing arrows on thief, DH, and Rev are probably good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
