Graaloween Overview

Hey all! So this year's graaloween was a lot different than what we are used to. I'm making this thread to see what your thoughts are about it. Take all things into consideration; the pumpkin blob, Club Crypt, candy bowls, prize bags, Onnet General Store, etc. What did you like? What would you like changed? What new ideas would you like to see implemented next year? Let's discuss

Its ugly, I want the ghosts >:(

First off, thanks for opening the dialogue!

1.) The pumpkin blob - I thought this was a hoax until yesterday! Well implemented, nice appearance, and somewhat unexpected! Would be good to see this fellow return in some other formats later on. (3/5)

2.) Club Crypt - the best part was, imo, the repeat items. I bought four fairies for lack of anything else at the start. They were QUITE expensive, so I hope they will never ever be seen for sale again (maybe xmas presents would be alright?). I didn't like any of the hats, but that's personal taste. The morph was small, but cute and unique. I liked the redecoration of the crypt - last year it did feel a bit musty. (4/5)

3.) Candy bowls - I really enjoyed the concept of having people come to houses for candy. Too bad we only got one bowl free! I feel that if the same event occurs next year, there will be a whole lot of "Candy for candy" going on (much like xmas presents) due to the nature of the prize handouts. PLEASE fix up the candy bowls so that there is a set refund price instead of this "You can't remove a used candy bowl from your house" thing. I have kept a candy bowl with a single piece left in it that I would like as a souvenir!
(3/5)

4.) Prize bags - Little bit of a snafu here. Handled nicely with a refund which eased the frustration of many players. I saw some interesting items, but was sort of disappointed with the artwork on some of them. In particular, the 'ghost' pet looks a little on the cartoony side, and the interior of the coffin bed does not really match the lid. The spider looks good, though, as does the mount I saw (whatever it is)! (2/5)

5.) Onnet General Store - I liked the artwork on the items here, but the colors were kind of bright for halloween. I enjoyed seeing the ghost make an appearance (missed it last time!) and had a good chuckle about the horse as it was the opposite of the ghostly skeleton horse from ages past. I got excited when I saw the vip only room, thinking that it would contain a horde of special items, but was kind of disappointed that it had only a repeat morph (even though its cute). (2/5)

Overall - 14/25.

It was good to see some change in what we were expecting.
It was nice to have a long, drawn out anticipation of the final event.
It was really good to see so much activity, some centered around houses!
It was nice to have some variety in items.

The artwork next year could use some work.
The candy bowl system could be touched up.
The NPCS that were dressed to impress were kind of a let down.
The collection/giving system could include more incentive to give out candy next time around.

I honestly liked the older system better where candy would be done with the npcs… Anyways club crypt was pretty decent (nothing really to complain about..), pumpkins alright, general store alright as well. The candy system I enjoyed because it was quick and simple, but the thing that really annoyed me was the reward system. The bags became expensive instead of what I thought it was gonna be. I thought it should of been costing 20-30 pieces of candy of some random trick or treat in a grab bag rather than paying for a certain item. That's the reward system I enjoy because we get more stuff. I get less and less stuff each year on Halloween because of the changes they make for it. The pumpkin blob was also a brilliant idea.

don't care at all about prizes or items, only care about the quality, competition, and enjoyment of the event
found this year's to be very boring, felt like a glorified code shop/maze exhibit on one side and then a spamfest/popularity contest on the other

the event was also dragged out far too long - if I remember correctly, last year's (which was better) only lasted 2-3 days

True it was too long
Onnet was pretty cool and the crypt was very good

The candy system was boring though so I only got 600 candies or so rewarded with wierd items ill never use

their was also alot of unoriginal content such as the doggy bag bomb which had the same explosion effect as the choco bomb earlier this years nexus

make a new quest

like 2011

everything was repetitive and when I could get approx. 1 hat every 15 minutes last year, I could only get 1 hat for having a life. Like seriously, not only did I waste around 6 hours of doing nothing but collecting candy and doing mazes, having around 600 candies seemed a really lot to me but instead no, each hat costs 325 CANDIES. I honestly in all opinion hated this Halloween. Sure it's good to try new things out, but I honestly do not want to see this next Halloween at all.

I can express my opinion in one word:
Dissapointing

Same.

Club crypt was nice, the event was meh. The prizes for the event are a little disappointing. I like the furniture prizes but I feel like there was a little too much of it. There is a ghost pet which I don't feel is necessary considering there is already a ghost pet being sold in onnet. Hats are...ok? I got a really ugly one and a pretty good one so idk. If I can get the bobbing for apples furniture, however, I will give this Halloween a 100/10.
