Better than the v1 first events. "Back in the day", though, we felt lucky to have a seasonal event. Its entirety was ringing a bell in-town, getting a crafting mat, then finding a crafter to synth the prize. Or less often you'd get a box and would have to run or teleport to one of the hamlets to exchange it for a piece of gear. Ah, those days of low anima. At least it recharged, unlike our gil.

Everyone keeps saying how good Guild Wars Halloween Event is...Just forget to mention how crappy the game is, one of the worst MMO`s to date.

I was not expecting a event so I consider this a bonus and I am glad SE re-released 1.0 event items as it gives people a chance to get them now that missed them in 1.0.
I myself missed out on the Christmas Reindeer outfit from 1.0 cause I was in the hospital at the time and hated the fact I missed out on it.

Let them get the game going and on track then maybe we can get new items and bigger events for next year, people have to stop being so impatient just like the people crying for new content at endgame cause there bored, maybe they should not have no lifed the game in the first place and took there time and enjoyed other things while they played.

You seem to forget Guild Wars 2 released on August the 28th, and Final Fantasy on the 27th so Square enix had enough time to set up something just as amazing

i like how this new awesome, two totally unique costumes are complementing your weapons






awesome!

And that's why we can turn weapon display off. The things people complain about these days....

I can't wait until I can get online to check it out!

I do hope they make a bigger deal out of holidays going forward though... holiday minions via a long quest chain would be AWESOME. Trick or treat events. Scavenger hunts. Haunted houses. Event boss in Haukke Manor. But then again I absolutely love Halloween so of course I'd want a lot more to do. I am 100% biased ♥

I'll cut SE slack for now because the game is so new. But in the future, I will keep asking for more if there isn't any

Too bad we didn't get King Mog implemented for Halloween.

This is disappointment.
I knew this would happen.
> Really shitty 20 min Events. - Do a single boring quest or FATE grind to get clothes that's not vanity.
> FATE events a la Light & DQ. - Lag FATE which will come and nothing will load trololol.

I hope Christmas is better. I mean they only cover one tiny area and call it seasonal.
Why not make the atmosphere spooky too? The nights, witches laughter? Ghosts coming every now and then?
Kids trick or treating?
Sick of these stupid events. PLEEEASEE do Christmas right in the very least.
I hope in due time they will make better events...I thought Summer was a last minute thing.

I see the Judgy McJudgisons from Judge Town are out on patrol.

This is not to sound rude. But I, for one, saw this coming from miles. I knew that the halloween event would be something really simple.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out why.

Hint: Priorities.

Off course, the summer event and halloween event feels like something tossed up quickly. Because that's mostly what it also is. Most of their attention is in fixing critical bugs(like the binding coil of bahamut turn 5), enhancing servers/gameplay and working on patch 2.1. Why else do you think we're not even hearing much of the devs around the forum anymore. I'm still hoping to see Fernehalwes back around the forums. But they're clearly swamped with work.

3 things that take up lots of resources. Learn to use common sense people. I'm sure that S-E would have preferred not creating any event at all. So be happy with the small bone S-E is tossing us. I'm only expecting events to become better at/after christmas/new year.

Until then, keep your expectations low.

I think he is being sarcastic about the entire costume. All things considering the seasonal costume is bulky and a huge waste of resources. With the time they took on such a bulky piece they could of made some Halloween items that fell onto the body more naturally and looked cute or sexy(or whatever the kids are into these days).

Please don't make events that are only in FATES...I hate FATES...just put event quests etc.
