Players are about to go crazy again in "Guild Wars 2," as "The Shadow of the Mad King" returns to the massively multiplayer online roleplaying game (MMORPG) just in time for Halloween.
ArenaNet, developers of the game, are once again releasing their yearly Halloween event for "Guild Wars 2," revolving around the humorously malevolent Mad King. However, the yearly event will also come with a new addition for players of "Guild Wars 2," which is the Halloween cosmetics for mounts. These mounts were also recently added in the "Path of Fire" expansion for the MMORPG back on Sept. 22.
Players will be able to dress up their mounts in different spooky trick-of-treat attire, though the only one at the show right now is the monochrome skeleton cosmetic for the mounts Raptor, Springer, Skimmer, Jackal, and Griffon. The mount skins can also be dyed to the players liking, meaning more dyes equate to more cosmetic options.
In addition to mount skins, there will also be costumes for players, as well as individual cosmetic items, both recurring and new. The Ghostly Outfit is making a return from last year's Halloween event, along with the Wizard's Hat, Vibrant Dye Kit, Candy Corn Gobbler Pack, a free Hallows Fortune Fireworks bundle, and more. The outfits and the mount skins are available in the Black Lion Trading Company, which is the in-game store that can be accessed by pressing the default 'O' key on the keyboard.
Also making its return from the yearly Halloween event is Mad King's Labyrinth where dozens of players can run amok in the spooky maze made by the Mad King, killing skeleton's, spiders, candy corn elementals, and other monsters for the prized candy corn cob, which can be sold for a hefty pouch of gold or opened for gifts. The Clock Tower is also returning and will test the jumping skills of players.
Lastly, the return of Mad King's most popular game, "Mad King Says..." is also expected, where the Mad King will tell players what to do as an in-game emote in order to get some rewards, and players who fail to follow the Mad King's orders will not get anything.
"The Shadow of the Mad King" Halloween event is now available in "Guild Wars 2" up until Nov. 7.
