Hallows End Candy Buckets

I have been sitting at Area 52 in Netherstorm for more than an hour & am still unable to gain access to the candy bucket to finish out my achievement. I have already gone & done all of the others in Outland except for that one. What's up?

Hey all!

Please open an in-game petition regarding this issue. We've determined that our Game Masters may be able to help with this issue while we work on the larger issue at hand. :)

Update:

Good morning my ghouls and goblins!

Just a quick note on this...

Q u o t e:
We are currently experiencing an issue with the Hallow's End candy buckets that is affecting the Trick or Treat Achievements for this event. Certain candy buckets in Northrend, once looted, are preventing characters from looting some of the Candy Buckets required for the Trick or Treats of Eastern Kingdoms, Kalimdor and Outlands. The current way to work around this is to get the candy buckets from Eastern Kingdoms, Kalimdor, and Outland before doing any in Northrend.

Note, doing the Achievements first will prevent some of the Northrend Candy Buckets from being intractable.

We are actively working on a resolution for this and will provide more information when it is available.

Given this new information, please sit tight while they work on a global fix. Please note, a petition is NOT necessary and if you already have one open, closing it is fine as well. This is being looked at for an across the board resolution.

We will keep you posted as we get more word, and the thread I linked above should have updates as available as well.

Thank you all so very much for your patience.
