Thanks!
...however this sets a bad precedent - it seems like you have to eventually be a level 80 to do this since the maps are slowly going towards high levels. I sure hope that's not the case.
Labyrinth can be accessed via doors yes?
I am going to give it a go again tonight. I am turning off SweetFX in case the extra graphic tweaks are making it any harder for me to land my jumps. I think SweetFX might alter the fog/acid stuff.
You can do them all until the end.

Is the labyrinth shared to all players or is it a personal instance like dungeons?

I've gotten 2 out of them tonight, so doesn't look like it.
It's just a zone like any other, overflow and everything.

Hmm weird, I keep getting PvP version of the labyrinth rather than the PvE version.
Well I got four exotics in like an hour this afternoon, so I'll have to see if I get the same rate tonight.

the labyrinth chests have same drop rate on items as before but they only give you a maximum of 2 items and can only be opened once per day now.
its also bugged so it goes away before everyone opens it.
theres a mad king set armor and you get the slippers from the clock tower, the rest you are meant to get from the chests in labyrinth but when u can only open them once per day ur pretty fucked at getting it

finally got back to the game after a 2 week hiatus now...
Notice all these random halloween quests around, what's the point of doing em actually?
I tried one where i ran around in a graveyard, finding items etc and i guess i was supposed to survive til time ran out, well i didn't
would that have gotten me something?

Yeah, that graveyard PvP event made no sense to me either. I had fun with it for a few minutes, but felt it went on to long. Found the most enjoyable thing to be just farming mobs and the chest in the middle of the Labyrinth. Got a lot more out of it for time invested.
Is there a place that explains what each Special Event achievement item is? IE, "It's a Mad Kings World", "Attend the Party", etc?

Site has a lot of information on the different events.

Oooooh. Thanks! I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out what the 4th event could be for "It's a Mad Kings World".
Good to know that you don't need to do the Clock Tower in order to get the Halloween Title. Thing infuriates me to no end.

Man, I'm really enjoying ranger. The game is finally clicking for me. Dunno how long it'll last, but it's worth the money at this point.
Now I'm going to go back and try thief some more. =P
(I'm a habitual alt leveler.)

Glad for you, I still suffer. I really want Engineer to click with me, as I love Charr and the lore behind them. I only find them suited to be an Engineer or Warrior though, and I got bored with a warrior. My necro Asura is doing well, but I have such an 'issue' with playing the small character
Hated gnomes in WoW.It just sucks that with an Engineer you only get to use two weapons, and of those weapons when using kits you don't get satisfaction of having decent looking loot.
I also simply don't know if I can sell myself on using kits, my engineer is a low level though, need to keep slugging along.

So i got my Thief to level 6 now (lol) what does initiative do exactly?
I notice once in a while i get blocked out of my skills so i have to wait for it to build i guess? but what can i do to make it build faster?
Other than that, pretty fun so far especially dual pistols rocks

Clock Tower complete. Honestly, it's not that hard. The biggest challenge is dealing with the mob of people you're with. Once you get past the point where they all fail, it becomes much more manageable.
So what do I do next for more Mad King set?

It's the camera that's my problem for the tower.
Thieves don't have cooldown in skills, instead they have initiative in which you cannot use a skill without the appropriate amount of initiative available.

When I finally cleared after just over 2.5 hours, it was muscle memory. The camera is bad up to the vertical gear. After that, it's zero issue I found.

There are various utility skills and traits that will give you more initiative. Basically, get some more levels.

The Mad king tower is annoying because the camera is pure and utter shit...

I never had an issue with the camera I held down right and left mouse button to run and keep the camera circling with me, if you guys havn't tried that give it a try.
Edit: I also have strafe rebound to A and D

If you have any questions about thief, after finally having fully inspected every weapon combo, feel free to ask as I have a ton of build ideas.
Init regen is a crucial part of the thief game. As awesome as it is to have no cooldowns (the first time you do a spike kill with the Executioner trait... nasty), being out of initiative makes you borderline stranded for a few seconds. Lots of weapon skills are doubling as movement skills and this is bad.So i got my Thief to level 6 now (lol) what does initiative do exactly?

First, there's a level 15 passive trait called preparedness, in the trickery line. Crucial IMO- gives you 3 more initiative total. After that, there are a lot of good options found in traits. An extra 2 every 10 seconds; initiative gain on stealth, initative gain 7% per crit (I use this ), init on weapon swap (making a build around this trait is totally viable imo).

Finally beat the tower -- the first half seems harder than the last half. The last half had a couple of tricky parts, but once I knew what to do they were pretty straightforward to execute.
Now what to do with these dumb slippers...
Yeah, I hope these new PvP gametypes come back in some form. I like the hide-and-seek one quite a bit too (although it has some problems with villagers exploiting to "hide" in inaccessible locations).

Someone on Reddit said that likely these are tests for the future. They would have to balance the modes, add rewards, etc.

Ranger question: Companion's Might (Crits cause might to be cast on pet) or Sharpened Edges (CTC Bleeding on Criticals).
rohlfinator

I'd go with Sharpened Edges unless you're doing a Beastmastery-centered build. Those extra stacks of bleed are nice to have, especially if you're heavy on the condition damage.

Norns are Charrs are the worst, you might as well not play when you see them taking part...
Find a haunted door in Queensdale, Metrica, Wayfarer, Plains of Ashford, Caledon, or Gendarren or whatever that lets you enter it. (There is a pre-event chain to open these up.) Once inside the Labyrinth lobby area, talk to the NPC Boatman and choose Clock Tower.
Thanks!

I have always played guild wars like that couldn't see myself changing it to any other way played the first one like it too
yes you can, the hunts won't go away til the whole event ends.
I thought I was somewhat passable at jump puzzles before I tried this... thing. For every good run I've had, I've balanced it out with countless terrible ones (half of which fail at that stupid little rock just after the first wait stop). It almost feels like I'm getting worse, rather than better.
Had quite a nice group of people in there though, with some pretty good camaraderie, even if only because we were all in the same situation. Quite fun to chat and mess around in there, and be joined on our climb by oakhearts.

That jump puzzle was tough, but the hardest part was dealing with the mob of folks and the dumb wait timer pre-puzzle. Once you figure it out, you can pretty much run without stopping.

I ended up having to run the tower twice. Once for myself, and then another for my girlfriend who got too frustrated with it. The things I do for love...

Still haven't beaten that puzzle. The mob makes it hard to see where you actually are.
Well that was a punch in the guts, the one time I didn't mention I never did a particular CoF EXP route, we got a couple of wipeouts. After I said "please slow down, I never did the route", the whole group condemned me an idiot, the leader said he reported me, kicked me out of the dungeon. Jesus H Christ.
Feel free to report them back.
