they seem a bit lackluster compared to the other events we've had. Even compared to the CTA events.
Though Im glad things were changed around a bit this year.
Oh well, at least we can complete the achievements if we missed out on them last year.
Now featured!
'A wayward child' is currently taken down for upgrades
Lliira’s Bell – the melodic ring of Lliira’s bell will fully heal your companion and will also grant 10 seconds of immunity to your companion, even if they are unconscious.
Favored of Lliira – for those who seek to unlock Achievements will be able to unlock “Favored of Lliira” by completing three daily quests during the event.
These three are pretty useful. Other thing are a total trash....but dyes are good to collect also.
I'd get more excited over
I dunno about that - having to chase down illusionists for the Masquerade event is a real PITA. Still, the red, blue, and yellow/gold make for a weird combination. I really wish we could change the order that the colors are applied. Still, the Lliira's dye kit can be nice if you apply another single color afterward - like black to tone it down a little.
Too bad it's not red, white, & blue...

I must admit I didn't really participate in the Halloween 'event' because I had just started a new job and was trying to make a good impression doing lots of hours , glad I missed it now xD although if it was that bad I hope they improve it for next year , every mmo I have ever played has made a big effort for Halloween and it will be a shame if Neverwinter's Halloween remains crappy xD
So this will significantly favour the dps classes - ty for ensuring the support classes don't get a chance with this.
A dps plowing through classes several levels below will annihilate mobs in no seconds flat over and over. Racing far ahead anything a support class can do. So ty again for another dps favoured thought process - yet again
"Mod 6. Oh my f****** god. It gutted the game pure and simple. And what wasn't gutted was messed up by the poorly thought out new level cap and equip. The game never recovered from that atrocity".
..............not this one then.............
On the Tymoras gift event I think there was a cooldown added between drops to prevent dps players getting an unfair advantage , there will probably be a similar cooldown between drops here too.
Advantage is advantage. There is no "unfair advantage". Every class has its own unique ability. Some classes are just performing better than other classes in some contents. The "unfair" thing doesn't exist.
I never said they have a unfair advantage , I main a CW myself xD , the dude I quoted was complaining about dps having a unfair advantage , I was just telling him about the cooldown between drops XD
Yes ,it is just a misunderstanding , I certainly don't agree with the actual mechanic although I guess I understand why it is there , just to explain below.
The guy I quoted said dps get a unfair advantage , I was explaining to him that a mechanic has been put in place to prevent dps getting a unfair advantage , the context is completely different since I was explaining a mechanic and the reason it was put in place .
Or to put another way a cooldown was put in place between event drops to prevent dps or players who kill fast getting an unfair advantage , that wasn't my choice and just because I explain a mechanic and the reason it was added doesn't mean I agree with it .
Why how would you have explained the cooldown between event drops and the reason it was put in place? xD
except that CW can kill a bunch in 1 hit i play a cw and love that but it is unfair
That rewards looks more like some random objects to fill your inventory with... ¬¬
Seriously, i'm going to keep trying the Warlock on the preview server or going to GG with my GWF... I think its more useful...
Now I see people changing zones to make sure they will have 1rst place, drop over 100 or 200 fireworks from mobs (long live the bots), so that it is not even incentive for the rest to compete. And amount of tokens is just too low.
It was underlined during last CtA that not everyone has time to spent it in front of computer. Please don't forsake gamers who have work to attend to. We are people, too and would love to fully enjoy NWO. But having the choice between competing with bots for event reward and playing warlock on preview, I'd go for t he latter.
How many tokens do players get for the top three spots? I had heard three. I won two once, in 5th place, I think...I could be wrong. I only have 9 or so tokens, on two different characters. Three tokens could be earned by doing the event every half hour, three times in a row with 5 fireworks each. What is the point of gathering hundreds?
Lliira's Surprise Coupon is a great reward, as it gives you a random discount on zen store items, from 15 to 40%. Damned if I know how I got it, though...
EDIT: oh right, the daily. Doesn't explain how I got a Companion Discount coupon without opening it.
You get 2 tokens for 2nd Place
and 1 token for 3rd and below.
You can get 2 more tokens by talking to Llira's priestess and taking on the Quest, but there is a cooldown of hours before you can run the quest again.
Worse event yet! Way to boring and takes alot of time for junk rewards. Makes me feel like a kindergarner running around playing tag fun many years ago but not now.
gone down hill. before youd have dailies..box drops....repeatable events..some combat.
OR a skirmish. but latly the dailis are do the repeatable event/skirmish. this is lazy very lazy.
as far as kindigarden games id equate it more to musical chairs where some people have thier feet
tied together. the number of times that someone zoomes in on a horse after i clicked and magicly
gethe the firework is high.
also area events should ONLY be ablout what people can collect in the 10 minutes. otherwize its really just a matter of logging into a zone that somone else hasnt put down 100 coins already. aoe has no real advantage because sure they can gather 100 fireworks really fast log into a zone plop them down and still get 1 coin cause 5 other people show up after them and beat them because they droped down 200 fireworks.
heck the most efficent way to make stars is just stand there on stage drop 5 fireworks then gather 5 more for next event getting 1 star every half hour. as opposed to actually playing the game... having fun...doing IWD dailies.. playing foundries... gong on raids for 2 hours. then showing up wit 100 fireworks waiting 20 minutes cause you just missed the contest. dropping down your 100ish fireworks..waiting another 10 minutes... and then if your really lucky getting 2 or 3 stars .. while the people camping the stage got 4 maybe 5 if they were in a small instance.
ok ok how can we make it better....
1. keep professional fireworks to area event only. make it if you just looted a box you wont see that box again for the rest of the 10 min event. so people don't just camp their favorite area. have a new event every 10 min so we dont have to wait around...or multible events that alternate. make the prizes for 1st and 2nd more varied than multiple coins. let 2nd drop a dye let first drop a bunch of stuff.
2. maybe add a crafting element so people can make bbq
3. have the combat drop crafting components and occasionally fireworks/dyes
4. have the option to trade 100 box fireworks for a box with 1-3 coins at random
5. the bell should be like 15 coins not 25 its an awful grind. 25 should be something like a pet or mount
6. make the dailies do something like talk to npcs or place boxes around the enclave
but it should be separate from repeatable because ppl will feel a need to do dailies on every character every day
but repeatable events they will only grind on favorite and at least for me with 7 chars it takes minimum 3.5 hours
to do dailies mostly on alts and i kept getting a bug that id get coin for the event but it would not count for daily.
if people are playing characters they enjoy most they will like the game more
dont mix daylies with zone events or skirmishes..... its just a bad idea.
7. after event let people trade stars for medallions of battle. people hate to have excess currency left over
so having something we can buy with 1 coin helps.
8. (in responce to post after this) or they could just change the event to how it was the first year, the sky and ireworks were all done the first year. i got a bunch of dyes a few masks and a title and it didnt feel like i had to grind to get it.
this year im grinding for like 4 hours every day and ill barely get the bell. Its not so much as the prizes are bad its just the ratio of work for said prizes. Im grinding more in this event, than I did to get the shadow-wolf mount.
the additions they made to the event encourage aggressive competitive play. and discourage things that might make the game fun, exploration, crafting, teamwork, amusing Sword Coast Adventure quest, lore discovery, hopping on rooftops(haloween).
this event is much like the most complainad about parts of midsummer (flower colecting) and christmans(fishing), halloween(jackolanterns) with none of the cool and creative parts of those holidays. I am not just complaining i am trying to make suggestions that will make NW events more fun and less frusterating.
Personally I think the Devs did a decent job of it for what it is. The firework designs were well thought out, and the night time atmosphere is pretty nice.
