Halloween Event Feedback

[Nilasbik]

Events are suppose to be fun. If you look at the event rewards from SoE/Verant events. Specifically the 2001 Halloween event. The rewards were no drop and they were upgrades for people in the 20-40 range from trash mobs and then very few mobs that had to be killed by multiple groups to drop decent items for people above 40. They later switched to the scavenger hunts for the anniversaries in which case everyone got the same reward and it wasnt always great but it wasnt a waste of time either. Each year the previous years scavenger hunts were available and i know on FV the exp pot one was farmed like crazy because they were tradeable per FV ruleset. Where as on normal servers they were not. The last few years they would do augments. So to have rewards that are mediocre when you are lvl20-30 that you can always get in the game any day of the week its not special. The point of holiday events is to do something that you dont get to see every day.

1. The running around was fine.
2. The scripting a good idea.
3. Add random new mobs to zone with random no drop loot. in fact just use the old halloween loot nothing was super op.
4. giving a boss that will draw people together at the end is a good idea as well.
5. its ok to give out something that's risk vs reward is easier than normal because it doesnt happen all the time, its a holiday event. make it no drop and lore.
