Faaris.8013 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 @costepj.5120 said:To be fair, in real life most people do the same things for Halloween, or Christmas or New Year; why should Kryta be different? I enjoy returning to familiar activities each year. The only sad part is thinking a whole year has flown by since I last did a round of Mad King Says, whereas it only feels like a few months :-OTrue. Also, there are always players who started after last year's Halloween, like me. For us, it doesn't matter if the same Halloween content is used as the last years ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly just getting the same thing for holidays has become rather dull but they're putting their resources into higher priority tasks. Like What?

I'm pretty sure they do, but there's no reason for me to go seek them out.I don't mean those doors that spawn, I mean any door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shroud.8923 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 As long as the Ghostly Outfit and Witches Hat come back this year in the Gem Store I will be content. I missed out on those last year due to being out of town on business and would greatly like a chance to get those as I'm sure many others would.Ghostly Outfit: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancientoak.4258 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Mad King vs King Joko, i can only dream. Its his old archrival, so it would be the perfect time for it. More realistically, they should bring back reaper's Rumble and Lunatic Inquisition, and the open world events from the 2012 version. Its been so long, its just a distant memory now.

Alga.6498 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 If this Halloween 2017 will be the exact same as our prev years, I wont bother to do a damn thing again since its utter boring.All I want is something new, the halloween storyline with the Blood Prince, Lunatic mini-game, anything new! (Or old content to return!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyrateSilly.4710 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 The devs said a few years ago that with some updates done to the game that something got messed up with bringing back the scavenger hunt for the Mad Memories backpack. They did say that they were trying to fix it to bring it back. Not sure if they are still working on it in their spare time but they did say they wanted to bring it back. It's the same thing with a few other games and such, things got messed up somewhere and they have been fixing things when they can.As for a whole new and different Halloween event or new events for it --- most MMO's implement holiday events to not only give their players something new but then it usually gets recycled every year to then give their workers time off with their own families. If they introduced too many new events then the devs have to spend more time in the office during the holiday and not with their own family.

staringcenter.5013 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I am thinking that it is going to be the same as the past few years. It would be great if they let us decide which mastery area that the experience goes toward, but I doubt that they would allow that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandenburgAngel.7561 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I'm just desperate to have the Labyrinth back this year. I've run it like CRAZY every single year. It's when I level up most of my characters. Plus, what about Steve?! STEVE MISSES US. We can't leave him wandering around, so dejected he can't hold up his chainsaw!

It was the first back item I had ever gotten and it was ridiculously difficult to obtain. I was in the mid 30's for level and had to go running through some higher level zones to complete the scavenger hunt. By the time I got the final piece, I was running around naked because I'd died so many times I could no longer afford the cost to repair my armor; that back piece drilled into me the value of a well-timed Dodge Roll the hard way. It's also the only back item I've found so far to shed light around the character, which is surprisingly relevant. I get a little warm and fuzzy each and every time I go into the "dark room" in Obsidian Sanctum because I don't have to grab a torch to see where I'm going. Back when that area was actually populated, being able to have a real weapon in hand when you rounded a corner made the difference between life and death. I was fortunate enough to find out about it before it left the game forever, but its such an awesome item that it's a shame it can't be obtained anymore. I wholeheartedly support any ideas to bring it back, including but not limited to:-Reintroducing the event chain (ah, sweet nostalgia!).-Introducing a new event chain (content!)-Purchasing with Candy Corn (...farming, I guess!)-A random drop from Trick or Treat bags (Farming and ALSO RNG!)-Purchasing with Laurels/Map Currency/Etc.I'm in that .01% too. I support bringing it back if we can replay those quests. I recall enjoying them (though they were really tough with my low level, pre ascended, pre HOT, pre knowing much in the game toons).
