Can we like... get some actually scary halloween content for a change?

[Lacan]

Like, stuff that is genuinely spooky. Like the original haukke manor storyline or the stuff with Edda. :v I want blood, murder, vengeful spirits, etc. Not just kooky Halloween stuff. Not saying to get rid of the stuff they're doing now... but like, give us stuff to do besides the baby stuff.

I wanna be scared pls.

Personally I think the main storyline does a good enough job of that already - the sineater transformation in Shadowbringers especially still gives me chills just thinking about it. And to say nothing of Titania's psychic blast with her slasher smile... brrrrrr.... It makes All Saints Wake look pedestrian and rather lackluster by comparison.

Yeah, I'd like to see something genuinely unsettling for a change. They threw in a pretty creepy murder scenario during Little Ladies' Day one time so it wouldn't be too out there for the development team to do something scary for the event that is most well suited to such things.

Sadly I suspect very little will change since almost every seasonal event seems to revolve around the loose concept of being forced to help a quirky character of some description.

I think a murder mystery could be fun

At least get us pranked XD For example: Everyone gets ported into the Gaol (GM prison) once at a random time, but no one will appear (or maybe Edda giving us a jumpscare).
You won't be able to chat directly to friends, but CWL/LS/NN is still possible - but since you got ported at a random time, nobody will know what is happening XD

[TarynH]

Yeah... more scary/creepy stuff! Like that side story with the Doll Festival that one time. You know, the one where a ton of people complained about it being "too dark." Oh... That's why we can't have nice things.

Noooo, that's not what Halloween is about! The true meaning of Halloween is candy! GIMME CANDY! CANDY! CANDY!

I would recommend looking into the history of Halloween; it's actually really interesting.

I think the devs run All Saint's Wake like this to show the voidlings failing to scare us. They opted to use the Halloween the Japanese embraced (costumes, parties, and having fun) rather than what it's (sorta?) intended to be.

The history of most, if not all, modern holidays means nothing in the wake of commercialization and marketing. Turning the holiday into "costumes, parties, and having fun" makes a lot more money than what it's intended to be.
