Seasonal events: Underwhelming?

When does the Starlight Celebration begin?

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).

This is true. And teach people, just like Hollywood, that body image and being cute and sexy is what really matters nowadays.

It would have been better if , We get to unlock a duty finder and fight a giant pumpkin. With a theme rewards chances on random event only drops and You get trick or treat points to buy stuff related to the event.

I like your idea.

GW2 has been out for longer than FFXIV: ARR. You got to let Square get it together first.

GW2 released on august 2012, so it wasn't that far off from halloween. The gw2 halloween patch was fun, so was the christmas one. But their regular content patches sucked hard..

Why do ppl care so much about real world holiday events in mmos? Never really understood this...

There's also a little thing called "personal taste". I know I'm not alone in thinking that these, in fact, look cute and not bulky, nor feel like this is a waste of resources. To each their own I guess. And I absolutely love emoting in my ghost costume :3

I wasn't impressed in the least with this event either and the first one was terrible also. Like the first event none of the items can be stored in the inn chest either which is another reason not to hold onto any of the fluff when space is at a premium.

It would overload the already overloaded instance servers. It would be the return of day-long queues for even the main instanced fights.

Why even bother with them in the real world?

2 months.

Ooh, complex subject. I can't disagree. But on a lighter note, I like the ghost costume. Reminds me of the Ghosts N Stuff video. It's also nice that different races get different faces. (Edit: Oops, that's not the case.)

I thought it was cute little event and I enjoyed it.

Don't get me wrong. I think there is always room for improvement, i.e. more event quests, more costumes, etc but I can't say I was that upset with the event.
I'd rather they focus more on getting 2.1 out in a timely fashion than focusing on the Halloween event.

I think it's odd that they keep putting old seasonal event items in when they said:



Though I'll probably be more annoyed if they decide to stop giving out all the old items before easter, since those are the only events I didn't get everything from.
