All Saints' Wake 2020

I am SUPER pissed off about this! Halloween is my favorite holiday and I look forward to it all year!!! I fully decorated my house (plot 29, 2nd ward in Mist on Louisoix EU -- y'all might as well get to see SOME decorations!). If they cancel Starlight, I'm going back to WoW.

no Halloween event?....thats my favorite holiday, this sucks lol

Its the best in-game holiday by far.

Yeah, it would be nice if the events were somehow integrated but if it's just "Do Gold Saucer stuff, get Halloween Rewards" that will be a disappointment.
I mean, Halloween themed content at the Saucer doesn't seem terribly out of place in concept given that most amusement parks and faires do have haunted houses and "spooky" attractions so I'm willing to wait and see.

All Saints Wake is one of the best events too. Shame they can't due to Covid.

Time to bring skinchange with halloween costumes!

Just introduce glamour prisms for it. I mean, instead of glamour prisms that make you sprout glowy wings or have an emblem appear above your head, make a glamour prism that turns you into an NPC for 10 minutes. Then make those prisms purchasable as event rewards, which—as a bonus—allow all sorts of fun shenanigans outside of the event.

You could have meme runs where an entire raid is glamour-prismed into Y'shtola! And think of the potential for wedding photo shenanigans! ("Look at how many of the Scions attended my Ceremony of Eternal Bonding!" "Well, here are photos from when Aymeric and Ysayle got married!") Etc.

Endless potential for silliness!

This is disappointing. Halloween is my favorite holiday too. It's unfortunate, but given the current situation, I guess it really can't be avoided.

There might not even be a Halloween. Doctors could claim getting candy from the whole neighborhood could aggravate the pandemic.

Could you possibly have a worse take than this?

I apologize if I've offended you.

I mean, it is a valid point that helps keep some things in perspective. 2020 is a bit of a dumpster fire at this point, and losing a holiday event in a video game is rather minor compared to everything else happening. That's not to say you can't be disappointed and bummed out, but you do have to keep in mind that this is affecting so much outside of our virtual world, and some things are just going to be cut.

I love Halloween and I love game events, so I totally get it..just gotta keep some perspective.
