Seasonal events: Underwhelming?

[RedAntares]

To be honest, I'd prefer that the development team used their resources on creating new stuff for upcoming patches (like new armors, dungeons, primal battles) than waste time on events that will be over in 2 weeks.
GW2 has a separate crew entirely dedicated on creating that type of content, that's why they can afford to do some big events.

While I would like to see more interesting events too you have to see the bigger picture here, with all the problems they had at launch and the recurring bugs appearing every patch, I think they have their hands full at the moment trying to set things right and working.

This event was really fun! I thought it was great!

Beware the great pumpkin!

But after last year I'm NOT eating those cookies.

DON'T eat the cookies!

come on those cookies the year before last tasted so gooooooood KWEH!

It would have been better if , We get to unlock a duty finder and fight a giant pumpkin. With a theme rewards chances on random event only drops and You get trick or treat points to buy stuff related to the event.

With forced level-sync to level 1 with only 1 skill?

For being a pay to play game I expected a much better Halloween event. Coming from GW2 which was buy to play it had amazing events with a lot to do. Hopefully there is more in store for this event as it comes closer to Halloween.

I look at it this way. The more they are focusing on these events now is less focus on getting the big patch out / fixing important stuff. I'm willing to let events be underwhelming until next year.

Comparing one product to another is pointless unless you are a game critic. If you would rather have a different product it us best to go and purchase that. Its like those idiots that want a Ferrari and try turning their Camaro into one with a kit. It's never the same, you will NEVER be satisfied. Best to go out and get your shinny Ferrari. Some of us like this just the way it is.

Love the new event decor, tasteful and fun without shoving it down your throat like GW2, dog did I do that!?

I had fun with it, even if it didn't take overly long. I had lots of fun just running around in my little ghost costume looking at all the shiny decorations!

Still, I feel like there could be more to the event. I think maybe for now it's just the bare bones of it and as more things are added to the game, like player housing, more things will be added to the holiday events over time.

I see what you did there!

I see what you did there!

Wah! Someone caught me! D=

I did enjoy the quests a lot, they were very funny and cute! The decorations around town were also great. I would have liked more variety in costumes though, or perhaps a spooky minion. A ghost costume is cool and all, but there are so many monsters out there in Eorzea to pull outfit inspirations from! Maybe more of that stuff will come when we get vanity slots or something similar.

They always have room to add more if and when they have more time. As everyone else said, they are probably pretty busy getting pvp, housing, and more pve content ready for us.
