Re: Lawn of Doom Hats

The event start today : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdhKUC-ukq4

I can't online everyday to collect them but hopefully there will be sticker pack to buy them at the end of the event.

Whelp I'm disappointed. From the looks of it the GW2 2016 hats are not coming back and GW1 doesn't seem to have the packs either. Guess I'll grab the 2017 stuff and be done with it.

I got a pretty cool bat hat for soldier.

@Final_Zidane 2016 will be sold as sticker packs after the event is finished.

Cool, thanks for the update. (Now I'll just be silently hoping the same is true for GW1.) Also, Day 2 got me a nougat hat for soldier.

Oh, does anyone know when the reset is? Is it 12am when the day switches or 7am (PST) like Mystery Portals?

I believe its every 12 hours.

For example:  If you unlocked your Lawn of Doom item at 6am   .......   Your next available Lawn of Doom item will be at 6pm.

So technically, it refreshes every 12 hours.

Ah, sneaky, sneaky. I was lead to believe it is once a day. Good to know. Thank you. *Begins to calculate when the next item will be available...*

I've found this to be hit or miss throughout the various times we've had this type of event.  Sometimes I've been able to visit the bat or gnome twice daily, sometimes not.  I haven't found a pattern to it, not that I've put a lot of effort into it.

As for the packs, like with everything else in the sticker shop, RNG will play a major factor.  I suspect that one might need to spend many, many coins on this pack in order to fill in last year's items, while receiving many consumables.

I got the Jason mask for rose today,

It's as joec2475 said, we have to wait exactly 12 hours between keys. It's like this in every one of these events so far. But I feel the same way as you, pandareno1999. Sometimes it's hard to keep track of when we did the last one if we try to do it twice a day.

Also, my friend said there is nothing for Scientist this time. That does not make sense, so he was likely trolling me.

I definitely waited more than 12 hours yesterday but was only allowed one visit.

Well, I've managed to get four so far. (Out of 12?) Got Purple Top Hat for super brainz, nougat for all star, bat hat for soldier and rusty for the pirate. I haven't been checking at exactly 12 hours but, I've tried to get as close as possible. So what happens if I get them all before the event ends? Do I just get consumables?

I believe the bat will tell you he's done for the season.  Please do report back if I'm wrong.

There were usually just consumable sticker packs for some particular keys. Don't be disappointed when you get one. Everyone gets them. On the last key, the bat would say that it's its last day in town. After you searched for the last key, the bat would be gone.

We'll have the packs for sale after the event runs out. Last year I had to get  2(?) hats from the packs even though I visited the bat everyday. I can't recall how much they cost though.

I seem to remember them costing a lot of coins.

Thought I would mention the 2016 Lawn of Doom packs are in the sticker shop now. They are 40,000 coins and give 5 consumables and 2 hats per pack. When you get all 14 hats from 2016 you just get 7 consumables. (This is contrary to the 5 stickers the description says. I hope the error is the description not the packs.)

On another note I am now up to 5 hats from 2017 and 1 pack of consumables. (Which I adore, I may blow a bunch of coins on 2016 packs just for the consumables.) One thing I did notice watching the video is the Scientist and the Corn didn't seem to get hats this year. Maybe it was just forgotten in the video? Or did they forget the Scientist and Corn this year? Or perhaps they will get their fall holiday item for thanksgiving this year? (Like they did with the Turkey Zombies in GW1) Does anyone have any information?

Oh and I will let everyone know if and when there is an end to the bat quests. (Assuming I get there first.) I'm also keeping track of each quest's reward in case that matters.

I think Germanshu just forgot or missed it while he was editing his video clip.

I got the corn hat yesterday and it looks cool.

Today I got a pack of consumables from the bat, pretty nice as long as it doesn't prevent me from getting all of this year's hats.  Then I went to the sticker shop, bought three of the 2016 packs and got only consumables.  I wonder if I already have all of last year's hats or if the RNG for the packs is terrible.

Though not new to this year, the consumables look pretty awesome and I'm glad I have a bunch.

I got all of them 2 at a time. I think it is unlikely that you are having bad luck, they seemed fairly guaranteed. Might want to check your stickerbook for confirmation.

Once you got all 2016 hats, the packs only give consumables.

The bat should give 2017 hats, which will be sell as sticker packs after the event finished.

It seems I reached the end of the event last night. In total I received 13 hats and 3 packs of consumables. I didn't see if the bat said anything special because I was so used to skipping his dialogue. What is odd is the scientist didn't get a hat. Also, the chest is still in my backyard but the bat has left, so it might be a bug? My brother is also doing the event so I can report if he also finishes the event. Side note, am I the only one who thinks that the bat should stay the whole time and just give packs when you get everything?

Same!  Got a total of 13 hats and missing the scientist hat.  Thought there was a glitch somewhere.  Good to know Im not alone and this is probably the norm.

Bat is gone from the plaza, but chest is still there.  Dont know if its a bug or glitch.

It occurs to me, should someone with a twitter/braver than me tweet the dev team in case the scientist missing a hat was an accident? Better to let them know before the event is over.

Consumables again today.  I think it's rigged so you need to buy the packs after the event is over.  Id' have to hunt through the sticker book to be sure, but I'm pretty certain I didn't get 13 or more hats..
