I personally had a good time and more then a few good laughs. I purchased 3 blue water balloons and starting a small mount washing business in the enclave.

TY for some good laughs. Now I am only left wondering what you got planned for the winter.

All posts pending disapproval by Cecilia
But the worg mount is awsume epic ORC mount ! Along with my Orc hunting dog , all us Orcs need now is a blood dripping polearm . Yes add one for holloween event and make all us Orcs happy !!!!!!!!
Thanks for the great event, Neverwinter developer peeps. Can't wait to see what winter has in store!
Ever try to use the walk function with your pig? It makes the pig look like he is moving in slow motion.
Type /walk 1 = walking like a boss
Type /walk 0 = turn off walking like a boss
I walk like a boss everywhere I go.
We have both Halloween and Christmas/New year very soon , I'm hoping that the same amount of care is going into both of those events , I guess they could even reuse the Midsummer festival map and make it the generic event map , just decorated in different ways with different NPC's and different monsters and events .
For both Halloween and Christmas they could even have some type of World boss type enemy that spawns on the event map every few hours , like a giant Jack 'o Lantern or a Giant spellplagued Santa lol , everybody who takes part in killing it gets a reward mailed to them with the top 5 or 10 dps/healers getting some kind of special reward mailed , fair enough it would be a zerg fest but it could potentially be quite fun.
Nooooooo.
That sounds much to much like old Tacofangs or Clarence the mecha teddy. Id like to hope that after all this time. Cryptic can do a little better then giant sacks of hitpoints mobbed by the entire zone in a race to see who has the biggest DPS epeen.
Besides, if I have to hear "My name is Clarence, and I don't think I like you very much!" one more time. I might be driven to do something horrible to kittens.
So there's a little side quest in Neverdeath Graveyard, where you find a lich's soul jar. You never seem him directly, but his voice overs are quite funny. The end of that quest has you turning the soul jar over to the head Doomguide, but the whole thing rings like the lich manipulated you into doing so, as the Doomguide says they're just going to store it in some special vault.
What if that was exactly what the lich wanted all along, and now he has access to all the powerful artifacts that the Doomguides have been storing there for ages? Now you find this out, and the vault is basically like a haunted crypt now, and the lich has some fun w/ you while you're trying to defeat him once and for all?
The event could be held in its own mini zone, which is supposed to be some other section of Neverdeath, where the Doomguide vault is located. There could be some mini-events in that area, like a field where the lich has animated the pumpkins, or another field where he brought scarecrows to life, etc...
This whole thing could happen because the acolytes of Kelemvor were holding a celebration on the vault grounds, and with fewer guards inside, the lich took advantage of the situation ot spring his trap...

They actually did that when the game officially came out of beta. There were several spots in Protectors Enclave, and at timed intervals, Valindra would spawn minions at three of them. It was okay, but there were problems at first with massive lag and high end players camping at the zones and wiping out everything as soon as it left the portal. They tweaked it a bit, and by the end, there was more then enough for everybody, even low leveled characters.
I'm also highly interested in those skirmish events that are supposed to be happening. Loved the orc event, can't wait to see more.

Stocked up on a whole lot of Squash Soup and other festival food items. I just wish I was able to get more Squash Soup.
A big thank you to the devs for this fun event. There have been problems such as flower ninjas but in the end I believe everyone had their fair share of fun. The pigs are awesome and I'm thinking of investing 2.7m to get it to epic tier one day.
Naw, I was here for that. and that was nothing like Tacofangs or the deranged bear.
First off, in the Valindra event all you had to do was hit a mob. There were no extra rewards for finishing first or best as the as the poster I responded to commented on. In addition the mobs, even the big ones were still fairly small. More then a handful of people could murder one in seconds. The older CO events like Taco and Clarence had MILLIONS of health. It could take 20 to 30 people, 10 to 20 minutes to kill them.
While the events where fun, once. After a single day of doing them a half dozen times they got old REALLY quick. Id simply like to hope we can see something better, newer, id like to hope Cryptic has learned a few things since then.
An event like the one that just passed not only provides a new area to explore and play, but it also reflects on the developers' dedication to reinvest in the game. A mob that just patrols an existing zone w/ some rewards attached just screams of lacking effort...

What Class Are You?
Thank you for the good moments.
As for a winter event, we could collect different color thread, and craft (via professions) socks, that act as boxes with different rewards. The socks should drop multiple items, like enchancements and so on, just like the boxes you can get from leadership crafting, based on the rarity, white, green, blue, purple, and the thread should drop the same, white (most common), green (common), blue (rare), purple (epic). Together with the normal drops should be some themed drops as well, a raindeer mount, a snowman/santa pet, etc.
Anyhow, I am excited for what they have next. I hope to see new special features with it (no pressure!) as I did have some disappointment where the water balloons weren't what I thought they'd be. I was expecting a system-imposed mini game centered around running / dodging / throwing them. Instead, you got hit with one and had a splash animation that your character doesn't even react to............aaaaaaaaand that's it. Potential lost for me. Fun was still had though (a little imagination and RP;) ), it was by no means something to cry to mommy about.
You know, probably could have fashioned it into an all-levels pvp-of-sorts. Rough idea and it's probably stupid but, it's just an idea and it can be built upon:
Score based on how many times you land a hit with (or get hit by) a water balloon.
Water balloon automatically provided and will be the only thing usable during match.
Stats won't matter (thus all levels), encounters won't matter (thus all levels), etc.
Make sure water balloon has a decent but not overwhelming recharge, so it can be a constant but not spammy play action.
Litter map with things to hide behind and make the map interesting (for instance: mid summer festival's "arena" could be a corn maze), making you have to go seek out other players and have a chance to lose them. You could elevate this further maybe by instead of making it team vs team, have the party that queues (if we use queue system) be split across the map so they have to "fight" each other. 5 people (4 corners and middle!) for 10 minutes or so smacking each other with water.
Rewards consistent with other activities... so it's another "farming" option that will be more interesting than hovering over a pile of flowers.
*shrugs* It's a rough idea but... I think it could work.
ANYHOW!
I agree that the map should just be reused and redecorated. I adored the rustic countryside look of it, but the NPC's were my favorite part of the environment I think. Can't wait to see it covered in snow! Or even fogged up and spooky.
I saved 5 gold and got my lowbie char a boar mount, collected 3 pigs and the shirt. Pig/Boar riding animation made me laugh since... I don't know about you guys... but it reminded me of part of the dance for Oppa Gangnam Style. Got some laughs when I showed it to folks.
"Dont forget about corn !... slayer of the dragons" - thats my favourite hehe
Or jokes of this drunk guard near firepit !this event was one from best things i have seen in multiplayer game for long time.
A good example of what you can do with this game, and the added roleplaying brought in by players enhanced it (didn't think of dyeing the gear until I saw someone using the Lliira dyepack).
I liked the water fight idea from faereni above, nice idea dude!
My favourite quote?? The guards speech bubble saying "Stop! In the name of love!" - absolute comedy lol moment the second I first saw that!
Ahhh right , I had no idea that they had already tried the world boss thing in another similar game , I used to play a game called Grand Fantasia and every night one world boss would spawn on a different map each night and there would be a Admin world announcement that the spawn was imminent and while it was a total zerg fest it was quite fun but in that game each night was a different boss that gave the chance at different decent loot for top dps / healers , that's more along the lines of what I was thinking
.
Wow that is some collection of squash soup. Your going to have squash breath for months HA!
quite an awesome collection you have. I made over 30+ hero's feast and tons of fireworks.
