Dear community,
With the patch to version 2.31, the Day of the Dead event will be activated on all servers. Besides that it mostly contains bug fixes for the quest issues we have been facing. Recently we switched out internal development process to newly developed content tools, which allows us to easily configure the game content like items, quests and events. These were implemented to deliver new content and react to feedback faster than we have been in the past. During the switch to these new tools a few bugs were introduced in our quest and event handling systems. We have spend the last few days busy resolving those issues and will continue to do so. We want to say thank you to all our players who submitted bug reports and helped us singling out the issues. While we are confident that we have fixed most of them, there are still some edge-cases remaining that we have to look into. Please be assured that we are working hard on resolving any issues that impact your gameplay experience.
Thank you for your understanding and support!
Your
The West Team
Day of the Dead
The Day of the Dead event will start on Friday the 6<sup>th</sup>, 10:00 AM. It will run for 18 days until the 24<sup>th</sup>, 10:00 AM.
During the event you can collect flowers which unlock special rewards for you. For 100 flowers you will unlock the Lotteria de Muertos. There you will be asked to flip a card. If you select the right card you will get the option to get a reward or proceed to the next stage. But beware! Proceeding to the next stage means that you will loose the reward of the previous stage for the chance of getting a better reward in the next. Personal and world rewards will be awarded for collecting a certain amount of flowers. So make sure to fill your queue and ask your friends for help to decorate the gravestone in your event overview!
There are also three new sets. Two of which can be earned in the Lotteria de Muertos card-game, the other one can be gained by the last reward stages of the personal event reward system.
The new sets are the following:
P. A. Gordon's set:
P.A. Gordon's weapons:
P. A. Gordon's horse and oil:
Skarunyate's set:

New quest-line: "Dark is the night"
Embark on a spooky adventure to find Maya’s nephew on the local cemetery. It’s available for players from level 105 on.
New quest-line: "Trail of the spirits"
The winner quest of our Indian quest contest called “Trail of the spirits” is now available for players from level 115 on.
Quest-log issues
Under certain circumstances players were no longer able to use the quest-book anymore. We applied a temporary fix for that on Tuesday the 3rd of November. One change needed was that the amount of quests that can be accepted simultaneously had to be reduced to 30.
If you have more than 30 quests active you need to remove quests (until you have 29 active) to be able to accept more again. We are looking into a long-term solution to be able to raise the quest cap again.
American Nightmare
We re-adjusted the requirements of the repeatable American Nightmare questline which occurred to players trying to repeat it a second time. These changes should solve the problems for most players.
There might still be players having issues as different players are stuck on different parts of the questline. We will monitor this and adjust it accordingly.
Quest starting too early
Due to a bug with our content tools all repeatable quests were starting too early (same date as they do on beta). This has been fixed with this patch.
Any repeatable questline that started before the patch will still be available too early and might therefore not work properly (e.g.: items not dropping) for seven days.
