MAD KING CHANGES PLEASE! Please look 'em over. Our countdown to October 17 has begun.

Dear ANet festival goddesses, gods, and folks who make changes.

A WONDERFUL suggestion on the WvW boards is for some Halloween in WvW. I am compiling the suggestions, and adding a few since this is my absolutely favorite festival, for your perusal.

Thank you in advance for your consideration to making changes.

1. So our official Bonus Event suggestion is that during the Halloween event, Steve should also be running amok in WvW. He could randomly pop out during fights in keeps and towers, indiscriminately attacking both sides. Defenders would get defense credit for fighting him while attackers would get attack credit. If he is taken down, the rewards should include Halloween stuff of course, like cool Halloween skins as well as piles of Candy Corn. As you most likely know, many WvW players have Candy  Corn Gobblers with rapacious appetites, so Candy Corn rewards would be most welcome there. There is not much time before this year's Halloween event so please get those event Devs working on this asap!
    
2. Have Steve spawn between the inner and outer walls of SMC attacking all sides that are in the area.
    
3. Madame Cookie for the home instance to hold onto during those long, lonely months when Steve is stuck in a wall.
    
4. Imagine the terror when Steve appears in the middle of a battle for a fortress or a tower. He's strong, doesn't distinguish between friend and foe, and will hunt you down until you kill him... or he kills you.
   
   - Give all the participants of the successful battle their deserved loot.
   - However, a minimum number of gathered players to fight Steve is required.
   - Steve will be back soon to test all WvW players during Halloween.
    
5. I'd really like to see anet add holiday wvw maps, like imagine if we could turn DBL or one of the alpine borderlands into a mad realm inspired map for Halloween and a scaled up version of the infinitarium for wintersday
    
6. New challenges and titles such as when Steve kills you for the 100th time you get to be Steve’s Sweetheart.
    
7. An opportunity to get his greatsword from Halloween bags.
    
8. Put festival food back in the bags!

This is one of the craziest, least likely to come to be suggestions I’ve ever seen…

 

and I am 100% on board

There are people using the dark forum theme, you know? That's why you shouldn't copy preformatted text into your posts, so that those people can read it, too.
