The time for reset and stuff never changes, so you will experience it at different times of the day depending on when your daylight savings time starts. If that makes any sense. Time is weird.
It's that time of the year again, where the bumper crop of Reddit threads are sprouting up where the usual KDB Daewoo report on NCSoft is being cited as evidence that an Expansion is coming in 2015. It's nice to have traditions, isn't it?
Yep, this is the right asnwer. It's always tied to GMT, which doesn't change with DST.
The best thing you can do if you're confused is check the Achievements panel; there's a clock for both daily and monthly that counts down to reset.

Datamined Winter Outfits and Scarf shoulder.
I hope the scarf looks that big and poofy on Asura, because that'd be just adorable. And I still hope that they add outfits with gameplay elements (e.g. you need to wear the Winter one in certain areas of the Far Shiverpeaks or you freeze).
Also, where is your avatar's booze?

Resistance gear, retro? Really?
Here, i'll one up you: i hope they add attunement processes and rage timers to bosses.
Resistance gear, retro? Really?
Nah, not nearly that bad. I did enough of that crap in WoW to last me a lifetime. I'm thinking more along the lines of the outfit being a sort of minor progression scheme where you'd upgrade the outfit over time to get perks out of it;
Since outfits are account-wide and can be worn *over* gear instead of in place of it, it's not really resistance gear so much as something cool you get that has a sense of progression and some bonus effect when used in the appropriate zone (though by region would be ideal). In that sense, it's very similar to Mawdrey II.
A camouflage cloak for jungle zones, a heavy snow suit for winter ones... just something cool to work on that makes playing in that zone more efficient or fun. And if there are hazards you need the outfit to bypass (Extreme cold, invisible Ravagers that ambush you in the jungle, or the aforementioned quicksand) it would obviously need to be used sparingly to create places you want to work towards for special rewards or events, but nothing mandatory.

The current dimensions of Dry Top are the final ones.

The Lich was not that hard for Ike and I.

The map commander was certainly scared of fighting it.

I don't think the lich is too bad as long as you are in a group than can maintain damage and remove conditions. About the only time things get a little hairy is when it comes around the corner when you are already fighting another boss. If you're alone and it latches on to you then things can get a bit interesting.
None. They are all on holiday in Hawaii.
GAF Labyrinth Guild Blitz - Monday, October 27th at 8:30PM EDT
Alright, folks- let's take on the combined delicious and skeletal armies of the Mad King and Bloody Prince. In the Labyrinth there is Candy Corn, there are haunted doors, there are lots of opportunities to die a horrible death. Come hang out on Mumble, kill things and see how we do as a guild against the area bosses. These are our targets:
Labyrinthine Horror
Grand High Viscount of Candy Corn
Legendary Skeletal Lich
From what I hear, the Lich can be a real pain in the junk. One thing that can be really helpful during high retaliation situations is any kind of minion you could summon. Condition removal is great. If you have one, a tankier set of gear is not a bad idea. Any other tips for guildies attending for taking him down will be much appreciated.
Or we can just have Kos and Ike solo it.
If your character has any kind of Halloween-themed outfit or costume, wear it for a guild photo! Halloweeny prizes up for grabs as well. Be there!

This and this. Maybe this too. Might as well also drop this.
Problem aint condi removal. They reapply it so often you'll be hard pressed to not have some on you unless youve a dedicated condi remover per party. Plus the major condi damage comes from torment, and that can be diminished in a very simple manner.
Problem is the ret.
Can always stack inside the gazebo. Helps with the fearbomb.
For candy corn, just remember to stand on the vomit.
For chainsaw dude, if you pick him near a place that has uneven ground, he's no challenge at all. Just hop from one side to another and faceroll from range. Theres a strech of map on the north part that allows this.

New hotness seems to be to stack in one of the nearby corners instead of in the 'zebo. Dunno how true it is, but there's been claims that stacking inside has been "fixed" somehow.

Woo, just need to do 25 more doors!
The fancy outfit will be in the store permanently right?

Lol. He threatened to leabe when I called him out. I guess he didn't see the tags that were following him.
As long as people can see the Lich attack where he raises one arm up in this air and everyone dodges, non of the skeletons will spawn therefore he won't get healed. That's all there is to his mechanic.
That's awesome. Your rank will probably change now because other officers are jelly.Found this in my inventory during random Labyrinth mobbing
As soon as it sells I should be able to put together Howler

On the 2-man kill of Lich, I never worried of retal cuz even if we missed the dodge we killed the spawned skeleton first before attacking him. Maybe retal only lasts while the small skeletons are up.I didn't know that, isn't most of the retal coming from the skeletons too?
Nah
Maybe Ike can shed some light into it because I wasn't paying attention to the boons on the Lich. Too busy bbqing him with my flamethrower.
I believe that's the case, but I'm not positive

Boon and condition removal is all you need i have taken down the Lich over 10 times in the last few days and all the random pugs do is stack, and rip boons when Lich spawns the Skeleton, you need DPS tank is a no no, Lich steals life, the more DPS faster he dies and less chance of fight lasting 10mins, i have killed the Lich with a random pug group in 2mins..

Yay closed my 50th door.
Still I guess I should spend more time in the labyrinth to level up my cleric warrior to 80.

Zerging bosses ruins the strategy/fun of fighting them, but with so many people there is really no other option but to zerg.
Odd. Started the game earlier today and it worked just fine. Didn't play then, just checked out an outfit idea. Started it now to play and it crashed as soon as I pressed play with some mumbo jumbo reason. Found a solution (which meant I had to fix all my settings again, ugh) but I'm still completely confuzzled why it happened (as is people on the forums, apparently).

The skeletons have a shout that puts protection, regeneration, quickness, and retaliation on their allies, and (if you don't kill them quickly enough) the lich will periodically sacrifice them to heal itself.
Like you mentioned, we never really had to deal with it since we either dodged the summon or killed the skeletons before they got the chance to do anything.
Just did some clocktower while riding a broomstick, it was ace, go do that.
I'll give you a copy of Bad Rats for it.

First time since I started playing this game that I got scammed and kicked at the end of a dungeon. It just had to have been Arah story, too.
If someone can do me a favor and message WizardofWarsaw.8165 (Ismulin) that that's poor form, I'd much appreciate it. Bastard blocked me before I even had a chance.
