2015 halloween event

[Noxifer]

I'm fairly sure that the main reason it happened with the summer event is because of the shear number of equips that were available. It probably wouldn't sit well with them to have to deliver bundles of bikini/swimwear goods as a set or charge each piece of however many for $5. That's a bit ridiculous in cost and value, given the value is basically the exact same equip with a different color to it.

*cough* Yet those items are now up on the Mogstation. (Edit: Priced at €3.50 per swimwear set, which I'm guessing would be $5 per set. €2.10 per yukata, €2.10 per drawers or knickers.)
If you ask me, though, it was the first event after Heavensward, and I'm guessing that had something to do with their decision to let the older gear stay one more time.

I absolutely loved the broom mount in WoW. Then they went ahead and made it have a limited time duration on it. *****es. Can only hope for a permanent one here.

Was that the first WoW mount with limited time duration on it? Or was there any other precedence to it? Do mounts in WoW have different stats/speeds?
As long as it's given to us as a mount (which I deem to be a fairly reasonable assumption), it should follow the same rules as all other flight-worthy mounts. Because unless there's something really special with it, like being a faster mount or something, there's no reason to have a timer on it. It'd just be one more flying mount ^^;

Ah nevermind then. The price tag presence for individual pieces clearly wasn't the reason lol. I still think the number of available equips had something to do with it though. Hopefully old seasonal goods are making a comeback with in-game means, at any rate.

The broom, I think, was the first of the duration seasonal items. Its been years since that happened, so I'm not all that clear on it. I just remember being very disappointed by that change lol. I think it was that it always had a limited duration of 15 days, but it was determined by how long the player was active on that specific character, rather than a seasonal clock or server timer. I believe I intended to get it on alts to use months later, but then it changed to server time, then changed to seasonal event only. I was sad face when it disappeared from my inventories after the changes. The mount drops originally varied, as it could drop the epic flight version or any of the lower speed ones. Then it went to the all-in-one package that mounts are with WoW now.

I hope it have a animation skill like the Twintania mount

How does one find this info? I need to know...for science.

I went and looked and I'm super excited now. Can it be halloween immediately?

I think a fair balance would be to have 2 years worth of items available on the event each year, the new stuff and last year's. When it goes into 3rd year, then it can go onto mogstation.

That way they can also alternate years between new costumes, and other items like minions and mounts, but still have a variety available at each year's event.

Is that broom confirmed to be a mount we can keep? Not this year, but last year's moon fire Faire had mounts that you could use during the events only.

But those mounts weren't added as items to the game, were they? o.o If it's listed as an item, it means it's something that can be in your inventory ^^; Otherwise it'd just be the same as an NPC.
Plus, google tells me it's listed as a quest reward. So...^^;

But of course this is mere speculation, since there's no official information as of yet 0=)

If it's real I think the broom will stay. The thing with the mount from the moon fire faire was that it was the same as the mounts earned from the sahagin beastman daily quest, only with a different color. So it would have been unfair to players who worked their way to max rank and spent 120k on a mount just to have it handed out to everyone else for simply splashing water on a few half naked cat girls (if I remember right). So yeah, we should get to keep this one since theirs no where else to get it. Think of it as being like chocobo barding from other events, we can still use it out of season.

Any word on when this will begin and will the eerie set be making a return? I really want to get that set as I missed the event last year due to RL circumstances.

If they make a side npc so you can buy the eerie set okay, though if its the same event you want with same quest I say no.

I want the holloween event but I want something totally new and refreshing, I said this before I don't want events to re-run like FFXI did and that really murdered the experience for me, +1 +2 +3 LATENT EFFECT, warp, cookie making, scooping +1 +2 now it was fun the first time around 2nd time meh 3rd time okay its getting old.

If you wasn't here look for it on the shop or them adding it to the side but please SE for the love of god do not re-run the same event.

Also don't get me wrong not trying to be mean or anything and I know it sucks you missed the event but what about those who have waited for new events also it wouldn't be fair to toss a old event out and nobody else really does it cause they've done it before.
