Come on man.

Dont tease us with epic companions just to make them uncommon in the last minute.

Woah. WOAH. what? You mean the preview we got yesterday during the Neverwinter hour was wrong? It's at least BoE still, right?

Yeah they did a Ninjafix and made it Green..Another disapointment

Yes, also noticed and disappointed, cause I wanted a purple skelly companion. But, it no longer costs 1800 tokens to get him, so I have a real shot now, which is good. But this is fun, I've seen illusionists as Valindra Shadowmantle, and even a Gelatinous Cube!!!! *smile*

Oh, and they finally fixed the Cultist Slayer III title. Yippee!!!! Thanks guys!!!

I would imagine your connection speed would be "what's up with that"

I'm confused. In the info on Trade of Treats, it says that after your daily five talks with the Ill. you can still get tokens from them with the little bag things. It then says "see below" for how. There is no mention below, above, sideways or anywhere about this again.

Was that idea dropped?

love the new event but was hoping for a skeletal mount honestly

I'm new here... do these events always involve chasing down people all over town to turn in One Token At A Time?
Took my over hour to run around and turn in 50 or so... not really my idea of fun..

No, they have tried different things for different events.

I turned in 170 tokens in under 30 mins by riding around on a mount and you didn't even have to get off your mount.

dardove - thanks for the non-smart-*** answer I look forward to seeing what they come up with next.

rhoric - please go back and re-read my post. Pay real close attention to the part where I said I was new. I wasn't level 20 during the event. That means I ran my lil halfling feet all over town, and the only speed boost I got was from cloaking.

My comment wasn't directed at you. It was just a general comment. This char I did this on was still fairly new, was still in Blackdagger area. Did it to get the skelie for when HR is released.

Hi just posting to say that I was completely uninspired and made no attempt to participate in this event at all even though I was logged on every day of it. I looked at the rewards and nothing made me want to change my daily routine to participate. It never once occurred to me to get a weird looking mask for my character, this was an even more pointless event then the midsummer one.

Feedback.

Sorry. Looked at the rewards, saw nothing of interest. You guys need to step up a bit. A Guild Wars 2 event would involve achievements, for those who like achievements. It would involve running around the maps. More importantly they make an effort with the rewards. We do not need Fashion outfits. Fashion outfits are nice for roleplayers, but with only three slots it provokes a massive Attack of the Clones vibe, especially when the chest piece tends to overwhelm the rest of the pieces (less chest pieces that are *also* bottom parts would be good).

Things that would assuredly make players happy, and I say this polled from friends, guildies and the NWRP channel: make an effort to produce unique skin armors that can be transmuted. There are not enough unique skins, most of them are hidden behind a dumb lair system that requires the clunky business of sharing quests with a friend, doing the lair, share the quest again if the skin did not drop, do it again.

You guys *need* to step up your game. I have arrived at the tail end of the summer festival, saw there were skins and *might* have been interested just to dissolve into a fit of giggles at seeing there was no preview available nor a dummy to put them on display, which seemed the obvious answer if the answer is that preview is not possible due to engine limitations.


P.S. Cut down on the grind some, will you? I played the game for the duration of the halloween festival and ended with around 70-80 tokens. The skeleton might have interested me for roleplay/active bonus, but 600 tokens? Seriously? 600 hundred times chasing illusionists one by one? Are you really thinking NW is so much of a super game that players will throw themselves at these colossal grinds until their eyes bleed? This sounds like hubris to me.

Agree 100% (good word choice as well). I understand the grind - gotta keep the players coming back. The problem though is this - most of us have been grinding for a very long time (see Shar, IWD and ToD) and don't relish yet another grind (even though it's only for four days) with too little payoff.

Come up with something new - get us talking about the game on social media in a good way. We can help you promote the wonder that is Neverwinter . . . if you give us a reason to.

Onto the topic at hand. I really happen to like the halloween event. I missed it last year, the only event in all of the history of neverwinter from alpha, beta and into release that I've missed so far, because I (*gasp*) chose to take my kids trick-or-treating rather than play Neverwinter on Halloween night. I was pleased they extended it to several days since, of course, I made the same choice this year too. I like the masks, I like the companions (though I couldn't be bothered to actually get those...) and I liked the general idea for the quests.

I did not like the charms. Frankly it was a moronic idea to require players to run around forever turning in charms one at a time. I mean, at one point between actual dailies and just kill farming for charms, I had a couple hundred in my pack. It required that I spend a hour (give or take) running in an endless circle in PE. I got 4 of the masks and gave up on the event simply because I couldn't handle trading them in.

Everything else about this event was great - the PE makeover was awesome, I liked the Illusionists' presence, the event was well done other than the charm turn-in mechanic - it was needless time consuming and felt like a massive waste of time doing nothing. It ultimately made me stop participating in the event before it was over.

I would urge you guys to update that particular part of this event for next year - I don't know that you really need to make many adjustments to it otherwise.

But that wasn't what was under discussion. The lairs in the levelling areas are shareable and can be re-done. Both the boss drops and the gear from the end chests often have unique skins people want for transmuting and might have unknowingly tossed from running it previously. The thing in the chest will always be the same. Boss drops are randomized. People share these in order to try to get BoP items like the drow-spider-tiara-thingy in Rothe Valley.

Also, the Masquerade of Liars ran for multiple days last year as well. This year's event was actually shorter.

Just realized this thread was necro'd by about a year. Please check post dates.
