please extend tako halloween event, i am 90 tokens away from my tako throne, i found a connection but cannot play. we will be without power for several days.
there is a shadow dog figure. it never actually lands an floats with legs dangling.
Wut. Well great thats my OCD triggered O_O"
he's either in store or zen store. the dog with the red handkerchief collar, you get for equipping all of the gunslinger set of leveling gear. he's actually quit what he does.
LOL I didn't even cared about the Takofanes fight after weeks of farming tokens and unlocking the costumes
I got so sick and tired of the event I didn't even attempted to fight him with a character who is trying to complete all events and defeat all bosses for completion

The "improved" bloodmoon isn't much fun. I haven't been disappointed to see the end of it since it was "fixed".
I don't recall it being particularly fun before either. Just faster to farm.
Well I liked speed running crypts for example, hunting for undead heroes to fight, now the event is about pain trains and waiting for Tako to spawn. There's no reason to do crypts. No reason to form groups. You just travel from undead hero to undead hero with a mob picking up drops. The current event is far easier to farm and there's no reason to run the event any other way. You get as much coin from one complete cycle of a pain train as you would doing the weekly crypt event, and in a fraction of the time, so why even bother with the crypts. Before the update crypts were something you did while waiting for an undead hero to spawn. Now the only reason to do crypts is if you want achievements or haven't gotten the action figures or something. For most veterans of the game that means there's no reason. The time taken to beat a crypt is at least the time it takes for a train to mow through an undead hero if not two. The drops for undead heroes are just better then anything you could get in a crypt.
When the devs boosted the Undead heroes last year, they were answering the complaint that unless you were very fast, you didn't get to participate in fighting an undead hero, and the 13 event devices were very rare because of this, with players bouncing back and forth between the zones in hoping to find something to engage. Wether or not all players agreed that this was an issue is a debate we've already had (well into December, as I recall)
Now the complaint that the crypts have been overtuned to the point they aren't worth doing beyond once a day for the daily mission, that is probably still legitimate. Not all characters can solo them, and a team of three or more can pave them. This is yet another occasion where level and team size scaling would be invaluable, but we don't get that in this game.

We actually do, but only in special cases. Mobs that spawn at character level seem to be straightforward, and there are some classes of mobs that gain additional abilities depending on their level (but classes of mob need to be updated individually). The only team size scaling we have is on UNITY and some adventure packs, and my understanding is that it involves multiple versions of the map, so a lot of extra work.

For the record I'm in the camp where I liked hunting for undead heroes to fight and doing vaults while we waited rather then waiting to get into a zone with a pain train and never having to bother doing vaults again.
the old version meant spawn camping the heroes because you had no chance of getting in any hits otherwise.
well yes, sometimes, like if there was a minute or two on the cool down, but if it's 15 minutes or something like that then you do crypts. Now the undead heroes are always up and you have to get into a pain train zone just to get into a crypt. If it's that hard to do crypts, and the rewards aren't that great, why bother with crypts? They're completely extraneous to what the Bloodmoon has become and adding them to quests really doesn't encourage people to do them. People have always preferred attacking the undead heroes to crypts now the crypts are a detriment rather then a bonus something you did while you waited.
