Guild Wars 2 Mad King Returns For Halloween 2020.
Shadow of the Mad King is currently back in Guild Wars 2 for Halloween of this horrible year. Also, there will be plenty more to do: Players will be doing as the Mad King Says, losing at the Mad King’s Clock Tower, getting lost in the Mad King’s Labyrinth, coming in last is the Mad King’s Raceway, and dying to the Mad King himself in Ascent to Madness.
Old players will want to check out the patch notes (and the complaint thread on Reddit); it looks as if there are some adjustments to note this year, including a new cape reward for the meta achievements, increasing damage for some monsters, a new weapon collection, new guild decor, account-bound, trick-or-treat bags, thief, nerfs, and other bug fixes.
“Once again, the gates of the Mad Realm have opened, and Kryta’s most infamous monarch, Mad King Thorn, has returned to hold court in Lion’s Arch! Loyal vassals of the king are strongly encouraged to enjoy the festivities: meet the residents of the Mad Realm in events across Kryta; tour the Mad Realm itself in the Guild Wars 2 Mad King’s Labyrinth and fearsome Mad King’s Clock Tower; compete with your fellow mortals in Lunatic Inquisition, Reaper’s Rumble, and the Mad King’s Raceway; attend to the king’s whims in his notorious pastime of Mad King Says, or match wits and blades against royalty in Ascent to Madness.”
