Title: Fixes for Headless Horseman encounter

C&P from the source (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=27291816177&sid=1):

Good Morning Folks!


So, there are reported issues with the Hallows End Boss.  Some are a misunderstanding in how the new system works with points, others are an issue related to the cog-wheel issue that's been previously observed in BGs.


Unable to load in, or WoW exiting upon arrival in the instance.


This could be a number of things, many cases may be related to the cog-wheel issue that is already known.


I'd recommend everyone reload their UI, just in case.  If it's the cog-wheel issue - avoiding mousing over is one way to avoid it happening.  Our developers are still looking into that issue.


To do a full and proper reset UI....

Q u o t e:
To do a full reset UI, you will want to save your addons in another spot if you wish to preserve them.



Then rename/delete or move your WTF, Cache and Interface folders while WoW is shutdown.  Reboot your system.


Note, if you are running Vista make sure your permissions are set so it does not undo your changes.


More detailed instructions for different operating systems, including Macs are here.

Character already exists


This error can be encountered when trying to log back in.  This means that character is still online and has not yet auto-logged.  One thing to try is logging into another character on that realm - that will often force the first one offline.  This condition also usually resolves itself within 5ish minutes or so on it's own.  If logging into another character does not seem to free the first, or it doesn't log out on it's own, you will want to submit a petition for further Game Master assistance.


Empty Bags


It is possible since the conversion from badges to points to receive an empty bag.  It's also possible what would have been in that bag is unique and you already have the item - so it's not going to show. Your points should be awarded when you open the container.

Gratz, Nick and Rick!

I still await mine. Wish I did not keep getting empty bags. Fucking buggy shit.

Ah dammit!  This is one of my favorite times of year in WoW-land.  Working for a living sucks dirty goat balls.

Agreed. I've always wanted to do this event and for some reason I miss it every year.

Friday or Saturday?  (What sayeth you Pat?)  Nat (my wife) wants me to stay home this weekend, since I haven't seen her all week.  Which means she'll fall asleep on the couch every night by 9:30.  Of course, don't get frustrated if Pat and I get distracted by flagged Alliance!  ...always seems to happen when we're together...
