Halloween 2020 - EARLY - please

Can we PLEASE get Halloween early this year .... been a crappy year and it would be fun to just play around with the Mad King early ....

I vote no. I would like some normalcy in 2020. No need to move up holidays or themed events.

The mad king came earlier this year though... We just didn't get rewarded for it though. v__v

I'd like to see them start the candy corn nodes early as a foreshadow of Halloween.

Being it's 2020, I wouldn't mind an early Halloween festival, so long as it doesn't end early.

I'm against starting the actual Halloween festival early, but ...

How hard would it be for them to add a few little "pre-Halloweeen" happenings? Maybe make a "stale candy corn" junk item to add to some loot tables or JP puzzle treasure chests? Maybe add part of the assets for the stages put up outside of the main cities for the Mad King stuff, so it looks like there's someone building the stage/area? Maybe have one of the Lion's Arch kids give out a quest to help them (and you) create a large (let's say 20 or 24 slot) candy bag to prepare for the festival?

I mean, it's odd that it goes from "normal day" to "Festival!" so abruptly. All of the festivals could use a few small build up events/atmosphere added, and most of it could be done with existing assets.

I mean... I'll never say no to an early Halloween.

Everything need to come in time, not early nor late. Halloween in september or early october isn't halloween.

"It's been a tough year, can we get a few legendaries, some thousand gems and maybe playble oozes for it?"

I'd be all for it, I feel like Halloween and Wintersday come a bit late into the holiday season.Shadow of the Mad King usually drops 2 weeks before Halloween and Wintersday only a week before Christmas. Just my personal opinion but by the start of October I'm ready for Halloween.Festivals tend to be 3 weeks long but not all of them, SAB was almost a month long this year so who knows really.

as long as they add some new stuff to it this year... id be down...

this whole year has been halloween

Being stuck at home I say yes! 2020 has been the worst year for me. Those who may not like the idea don’t have to participate in it

No thanks. Stay on schedule.

Halloween started a while ago. Just go to Walmart, Target, Sam's Club...heck, even a hardware store!Hmm...I wonder if they will be selling Candy Launchers for proper social distancing?

i say yes, everything has bin one disappointment after the other so Halloween would be a positive for ones.

I agree having it come early is a bit much, but it would be nice if we could get some cool new stuff to do when it does come up.

Please no, I'm still burnt out after the festival of the four winds. Having some downtime between festivals is good to recharge.

Use up your maize balm on ambient creature. Get farming early.

No thanks, I want to play normal content a bit like back-track some story achivements, grind that gift of battle unwillingly (but have to), or work on a new character like practice its rotation before the next festival lands. I have a lot of things that were put on hold due to festivals, I'll be really burnt out if festivals are back to back non-stop.

Besides, players wouldn't want the open world map be empty & less people to do content with when most of the people focuses on the festival.

I guess it’s the COVID bump, but zones do not empty during festivals this year. AB used to be a lot of fun the first week of a festival, as you were lucky to get 5 per gate. These days the Zerg never ends.

I'd rather it stay on schedule, as a few have mentioned its good to have time between festivals. I do hope for some new content this year, been having a hard time getting interested in playing lately and having something new this Halloween would be nice.

Lol keep calm and go get a cookie. These ppl....

Something else to do would be nice. The weekend events in gw1 were always appreciated by me...
