Seasonal events: Underwhelming?

[Tsumoro]

I love this game, but I have to be honest this was a little underwhelming. Now, I loved the quest, I thought it was cool. However, I did it literally in 20 mins. So for me now, Halloween event is over with. Hardly an 'event' at any measure.

An event should give you something alternative to do that is fun and unique, with the promise of reward (like minions, clothing, mounts whatever). Instead we get a nice nugget of lore and a quick fancy with rehashed clothing. Whereas it could of been a proper seasonal event, with games and trick and treating with unlockable costumes. Heck I wanted the woman ring leaders costume

I can only hope that future events get fleshed out a little more, although still disappointed as Halloween is my favorite seasonal

Every thing she is wearing is already in game.^^

The only hard thing to get would be the hat, unless ya have a 50 weaver already, and then there ya go.

Everyone keeps saying how good Guild Wars Halloween Event is...Just forget to mention how crappy the game is, one of the worst MMO`s to date.

I was not expecting a event so I consider this a bonus and I am glad SE re-released 1.0 event items as it gives people a chance to get them now that missed them in 1.0.
I myself missed out on the Christmas Reindeer outfit from 1.0 cause I was in the hospital at the time and hated the fact I missed out on it, and really hoping they release it again this year.

Let them get the game going and on track then maybe we can get new items and bigger events for next year, people have to stop being so impatient just like the people crying for new content at endgame cause there bored, maybe they should not have no lifed the game in the first place and took there time and enjoyed other things while they played.

You seem to forget Guild Wars 2 released on August the 28th, and Final Fantasy on the 27th so Square enix had enough time to set up something just as amazing

I can't wait until I can get online to check it out!

I do hope they make a bigger deal out of holidays going forward though... holiday minions via a long quest chain would be AWESOME. Trick or treat events. Scavenger hunts. Haunted houses. Event boss in Haukke Manor. But then again I absolutely love Halloween so of course I'd want a lot more to do. I am 100% biased ♥

I'll cut SE slack for now because the game is so new. But in the future, I will keep asking for more if there isn't any

Too bad we didn't get King Mog implemented for Halloween.

THANK YOU!

NCSoft titles are godawful grindfests where more budget went into "purdy graffix" and cash shop bling than it did actual content. (except for City of Heroes but that's because NCSoft pretended it never existed)

And speaking of CoX, they had a damn good Halloween event.

Trick or Treat granted you NPC costumes as a treat or a fight with witches and zombies as a trick. There was a FATE-like event called Zombie Apocalypse where the sky turned red and people teamed up to defeat zombies and with each wave the zombies grew in size and number with the last wave being demon lords.

And the newest event they put in for halloween was a haunted house mission where the final boss was a massive cyborg zombie.

Unfortunately it was shut down last year, but their seasonal events were amazing. I miss it so much.

Just wanted to say that I massively agree lol. I miss City of Heroes/City of Villains

Got to love the critics. All the complaining and whining yet not much real feedback. Thanks for the Event S.E. It is better then the Summer event but I hope you make the next event even Bigger and Better.

We say "rehashed items", newbies say "new items". I'm glad we even had two seasonal events so far. Not really that interesting but, eh.... I certainly won't blow a fuse over it. Would have been quite happy if it were only town decorations. The new ghost costumes are just a neat bonus. In time - Halloween player housing items! :3

I'm aware that the developers are still ironing out a lot of minor things and probably trying to tune up patch 2.1. However, I wasn't feeling that this event held a lot of significance beyond making the 3 main cities look cooler. A simple (and imo drab) blanket-ghost costume with 2 faces, a couple of different color pumpkin heads, a couple of meager food enhancement items, a short quest chain and 1 (count it, 1) achievement. In the way of things to do to make it "feel" like an event, I felt it's rather anti-climatic. All in all, I'm giving this a chance to see if things will improve.
