Iyno.9271 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 It probably won’t happen, but why not try. Hopefully popular demand works. Who wants the Halloween event extended by 1 week? 4 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linken.6345 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I vote for a reduction of 1 week. 4 3 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farohna.6247 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Three weeks is sufficient, thanks. Also...why would they? Take a pause, do the next LWS1 chapter, get ready for Wintersday. Hopefully they don't take away all the fruitcake. 7 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nash.2681 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Since they removed food from loottables and the 50 AP should already been aquired by every active player, I don't see any reason to enlenght it. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Storm.3046 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Not sure if 'popular demand' is defined as majority, but I think a poll would demonstrate that this suggestion is not the case... You're up to 4-1 against the extension... As mentioned, people who actively participate in the associated events will have them completed at this point... and people who are farming the Lab... time to change crops, as there are more lucrative farms. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAmNotMatthew.1058 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 It was 5 weeks last year(Oct 05-Nov 09) and it felt extremely drawn out. 3 weeks are enough I'd say. 7 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I like Halloween and I like longer festivals because I'm often away and have to miss parts of it (I've already missed 3 days of Halloween and will miss at least 1 more) but I think 3 weeks is enough. Also as other people have mentioned there's other stuff already planned for November and it's annoying when events overlap. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanBB.4268 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Three weeks is just fine with me. I get burnt out on the lengthy festivals this time of year. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luthan.5236 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) Against it. Since I always want to get most out of it ... I would feel pressured to play more. And there are other festivals that also stay at 3 weeks - the only exception afaik was SAB at the beginning of Covid and I only can see them extending SAB again should they release a world 3. (Cause then there will be a ton of new achievements related to it ... needing a lot of time.) ... and maybe the 5 years last year with halloween - did not remember that until I read the person above mentioning it. This is just farming and doing the dailies ... and we soon will have other releases where festivals should not overlap too much. (Espeically having 3 orange/golden text things in the top right in the UI cause of halloween + extra life ... and then the extended beta achievements for WvW ... a bit much. 😄 I remember we had 3 things in the past years as well - when extra life happened + Halloween. But then iirc there was some kind of boss or fractal rush as well.) Edited October 26, 2022 by Luthan.5236 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labjax.2465 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I like the concept of halloween in short bursts, personally. I'm glad I've had plenty of time to work on halloween stuff as I've had a lot to catch up on, but also, I'd like non-gloomy lion's arch back and for people to resume populating parts of the game other than lab farm (I'm exaggerating, there is still activity, but I've noticed in drizzlewood for example, there seems significantly less interest than usual, prob cause of min-max farmers going over to lab until it ends). It is somewhat selfish of me to think of it that way, but... not like I'm determining when it ends. It's also got me thinking again about how fragile the ecosystem of activity in certain maps is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solvar.7953 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I wonder if there is any correlation between how new the account is vs desire for it be longer. If you have never played through it before (or maybe once), I could see a desire for it to be longer. But for myself, even after 1 week, I'm sort of tired with it. It isn't any different than last year, the year before, etc (OK, occassionally they add some minor new content, like the raceway, but after how many races does that get tiring). At some level, I wouldn't care if they extended it - I probably just wouldn't play it. But I wonder if overall, the event might be pretty dead after 4 weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 This gets tried every year. Every year it fails. They don’t extend festivals on request 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t extend festivals on request Exactly. Only times ArenaNet has extended festivals is when a majority of the playerbase is unable to log in due to server or real life situations, or a bug happens that causes an issue with the event content. E.g., back in 2009 there were technical issues with the GW1 Wintersday finale and the rewarding of the annual festival hats, so they brought the festival back for a week. And IIRC, there was a year an earthquake hit a sizeable part of the playerbase, so they extended that festival a week as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenom.9457 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I wish it was longer because I love the labyrinth and there’s really nothing that’s exactly like it anywhere else in the game that I can play year round. Id love a proper map like the lab, no meta just an endless circuit around killing enemies and stopping for events that are killing groups of enemies or bosses. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konig Des Todes.2086 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 High density mobs with lots of CC and a dark atmosphere? No real meta and just a bunch of mob killing? Sounds like Orr to me. 👀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do dragonfall whole year round it is exactly what you describe here mate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it isn’t it has a meta that builds up and finishes and resets and the state of the meta affects the other events in the map. The lab has nothing but the same mob killing events and some occasional bosses - the lack of changing states means it’s always available too. Also Dragon fall is actually too big, like you can’t run as efficient a circuit around it like the labyrinth. All of this said though, I DO enjoy it a lot and I DO play it year round 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanBB.4268 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 How about just running around a well-populated zone like Orr or something? Some bosses, some events, but mostly quick to kill stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean yes there are things like this to supplement that experience, and also it’s not the end of the world I can just play other content year round. But I wish there was something that captured the same feel more closely 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
