Just logged on a few minutes ago and I found that my xp from killing things is back to normal. That is, no more extra xp even though I am wearing the witches outfit.

Doesnt this end tomorrow morning?

    And I quote from the Witches Festival stickied announcement at the top of the page,

    "Therefore, we’ll be extending the Witches Festival for PC/Mac players by one week so you can complete these achievements, and the event will now end on Tuesday, November 8 at 9:00am ET."

    Supposed to end Tuesday 11/8 at 9pm per stickied post from devs.

    I'd open character page and cancel the buff then reapply.

    it was supposed to be until Tuesday AM NYT on the 8th...which is tomorrow

    it would be especially odd if that change was made today, since they didn't have maintenance this AM on NA/PC...I was figuring that they'd do that unannounced early 2morrow AM, to remove it....

    The Witches Festival should still be active for PC until tomorrow morning. Is anyone else running into this same issue where the XP is no longer doubled while you're a skeleton?

    Can no longer interact with the cauldron today....could be an issue, but latency is also all over the place sub100 then 999+, then back to 100 then 700+ so could have been extreme lag for me (latency is usually sub 100 for me as normal).

    Well, in the German forum it was posted that the Festival ends today at 2 p.m. german time, which is 1 p.m. GMT, so i thought the event was supposed to end ~two hours ago.

    Apologies for the confusion. The German and French posts have been edited to reflect the correct end date/time, which is tomorrow. We also double checked the event on PC NA and EU this morning and confirmed it is still live.

    The achievement for collecting 1/50/100 Plunder Skulls was broken for a few days and wouldn't register any Skulls looted during that time, so it was extended by a week so that everyone could catch up.

    You know what? You got extra time.

    Count the extra time you got as a gift, instead of complaining that you only got 6 extra days instead of 7.

    Wait... why did PC get an extension exactly?

    On PC the skull tally wasn't being added up for the 10/50/100 skulls achievement properly, so as it took several days to get the fix installed the event was extended. It didn't affect the console versions so they didn't need the extension.

    Agreed. Just accept it, instead of coming to the forum to find out if something is wrong and asking a simple question with no hint of rudeness or complaining. And if you had bothered to read further from the OP

    So the event bugged out forcing yous to 'fix' it before event ends, you extend the event and cant write simple date/times in a forum posts to inform players who have to seek out this incorrect information?. Outstanding work. Work that you can be proud of.

    Meanwhile my ticket goes unanswered for days of all my alts being stuck in the event quest loop where you cant initiate the quest/get the quest. This was the original problem that was stated as 'fixed'. Disgraceful @ZOS_GinaBruno
