Samhain after 1 week

This is a list of the great parts and things needed to be adjusted based on my chat with my clanies

Good stuff:
-Broom
-Fashion is awesome
-I like the daily quests
-Alot of masks for collectors
-+10 charms from vorum

To be modified in my opinion:

-The no-trade on duskshadow and darkshadow. Im trying to have the 3 sets but it will take 15 slots in my backpack
For people who can get spiritshadow it his a waste of place because we usualy dump it on our bank characters
-Too many pumpkins to complete but i like the 3 hats for upgrade
-King vorum that can bash 3 times in a row of easily 2k each
-The drops from him are all lower to earthstone except the +10 charm
-The camo on broom overturns the camo charm=you loose aggro protection

Feel free to add plus or minuses and ill hope admin might at least fix the broom and no trade issue :)

Still waiting on an item that can benefit me. Event is not helping me kill mobs. I am looking for a reason to buy plat, not really one right now. If anything I play less now than before the event due to getting frustrated that quest for the high levels with there fast speed collecting all of the items. I am mainly disappointed in the fact that this event pushed next update back probably into 2nd quarter of next year. By then I know I would have lost interest in this game. We really need more training areas for people to train rather than things that occupy your time and keep people from noticing the huge gap between high level players and low level players.

Just one dislike :

The spiritshadow Focus enchants and skill is all the same for every piece, i cant imagine any class other than Druid and Mage using the armor. Frozen armor does help us very much consider we are not a tank built class, we need the focus on us to help with our heal and attacks. Please fix this.

I'm surprised the focus bonus and the skill bonus are the same for all pieces. Is this an oversight? Laziness? or Intentional?

I was expecting the spiritshadow boots to have +4, helm +5, legs +6 and bp +7 skill, which gives +25 total skill - which is the max ability for level 90.

I am enjoying it so far. Like the wand of Bats.

The bosses seem too hard if 150 + players can't do it without huge numbers of Druids or MILLIONS of idols.

The fashion is good though I don't want to buy it this time.

Too hard to get the white hat but I suppose it helps lower characters gain money by selling pumpkins.

I have liked all the festivals on balance. Onya OTM. Now start work on a Ring of Flying or a rideable Dragon !!!

It has both good and bad.
-bat masks: whats the point? They have stats, but the stats are so low it renders them useless. Either remove the stats and make them a fashion item, or increase the stats to make them usefull.
-Bat wands: Nice animation. These have a usefull function and seem like a big hit.
-The armour: Nice for casters only. It needs to be made tradeable. The daily quest to get this armour is horrendous and is a huge let-down. Having bosses in various zones is nice though.
-Witch hats: The hats themselves are nice. Collecting over 2k of pumpkins to get the top hat is absurd.
-Charms: This is nice all the way around.
-Brooms: I personally could care less about them, but for casters they seem like a huge success since they are both mount and weapon.
-Non-quest Bosses: At 140, 130, they are only for the top 5% or so of every world. The drops have a very high level requirment. This is a big dissapointment.
Fashion witch items: very nice.

All in all, this event has given me more time to level and just farm for gold. Not having much usefull event content has allowed me to work on my character some more.

Samhain is one of my fave festivals, so I am pleased overall with the feel of the event.

Bat wands are fun, and I have to admit I have enjoyed scrambling for witches, even tho someone usually beats me to it.
Fashion items are awesome.

I agree the stats on the bat masks aren't terribly helpful for high level players/lux item players (ie, my focus crown gives me ?40 focus, so the 25 on the batmask doesn't help....would be AWESOME if you could wear both...). But....they may be of value for lower lvls or players who don't lux. So I will keep em for collector items and/or to randomly gift out to lowers.

I like the variety of the daily quests and the random pots are cool. With the exception of the armor, none of the daily quests are important enough that it is a disaster if you miss it, but fun if you want to take them on. I feel like OTM has offered lots of options there for players of different styles. Well done.

I wish we had clear end dates on this event so we could plan. Am a little concerned that if the event is only 30-35 days and it takes a min of 21 to get the armor, that doesn't leave a lot of room for time away. I have some travel time this month and it is stressing me out to think I may miss some awesome caster armor because of time constraints. wish I knew how much time there really is.

As the owner of 2 camos, I am sad to say i probably will not buy a broom, tho I have wanted one desperately since I first saw a broom of doom. So I am personally a bit sad about that, but I think it was, overall, a good solution to the camo problem. Whether I am willing to pony up a million for a vanity/collector item....doubtful. tho I am tempted.....(hint hint, PLAT SALE might affect my thinking, admin ;)
