Update - Thursday, October 23, 2008

Halloween Hullabaloo or the King's Kerfuffle

A petulant lord

Belligerently bemoans

And sobbingly roams.

Helpless ornate shriek

And serenely giggling knives

You'll laugh for your lives!

Glumly impatient

Smiling with menacing grace

Maniacal face.

Halloween Event

• Made preparations for the Halloween events.

Guild Battle Changes

• The brief damage immunity that players have when resurrecting at the shrine now protects against lifestealing effects.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug that caused Glyph of Immolation to not affect some targeted spells.

Miscellaneous

• Moved Durmand and the other Bonus Mission Pack NPCs so they do not interfere with the Halloween celebrations.

Guild Wars Wiki notes

• Blessing of the Kurzicks and Blessing of the Luxons give double faction for each kill (10 in normal mode, 20 in hard mode). - This note was included in the update notes for the following day
• The poem included in this update is in haiku verse.
• Amber Chunks and Jadeite Shards from the Factions Rewards NPC indicated that they cost 5,000 faction each. If option selected, would show that each Amber/Jadeite granted 5,000 points to title. - This was corrected in the update the following day
