I think that the idea that they had last year where you could trade in your candy for different goodie bags was a good idea but people are always going to find some aspect of it to criticize which is why there was such a big drama about it last year. -_-

I think that the idea of having a pumpkin blob boss for Halloween instead of the normal green blob would be pretty cool.

Or maybe a Halloween quest where you have to solve a murder mystery or something along the lines of that?  

Who said this halloween would even be different from last year?

It sucked, many agree isnt that enough to change jt back to the way it was rather than this new stupid, non competitive way.

I think it be best to not include the requirement of using our bug net because the lag will make lots of people mad.

Maybe somehow use shovels instead? You know just going around town and digging to find something surprising. And instead of ghost you look for graves and dig on them. Since, its stationary, IMO it will cause less anger since there's no chance of missing. And ofcourse it gives you random prizes.

As for the guilds, I disagree with this because anyone can be in multiple guilds so its kind of pointless. I really wish that they could have an option for people not to be able to join other guilds, but idk...


Also, can someone remind me what the events were last year?

No shovels no shovels  

Bring the old skeleton quest back but with a different reward  

I didn't enjoy the trick aspect, because I didn't have a lot of time to play during the week leading up to Halloween, and so when I traded my candies in and the vast majority were tricks, it was very frustrating. I think candy should win, just the high quality items are ofc rarer.

Ikr shovel is worst that bug net but still GOSTH CANDY HUNT WAS REALY FUN and i dont remember we had that much lag but rn we are almost like +2k ppl now  

I disliked catching candy from ghosts, as did a lot of people - "not enough ghosts, always get stolen from, too hard."

Which is exactly why a new idea was brought to light. And now that it has been experienced, people want to latch back onto the old event. This happens with everything, there's never any middle ground. Just remember, if you ask for something different, expect something different. Complaining about what you asked for is really ironic.

To be honest, the ghost catching was the easiest thing if you didnt stay in one spot hoping to catch one from a bunch of noobs. If I and a few friend can achieve over 300 pieces of candy, win a trophy to brag about it, it wasnt too hard. Unless you had no time, or got frustrated really easily in which case having a guild to help is useful since I led Wing members and about 4 of them won the trophy alongside me.
I agree this always happens but the new option was terrible, they even made the candy turn in's extremely expensive so all the candy you earned was basically nothing so no one really got a hat, or anything cool unless they were in the 9-10 thousands.

I never partook in Graaloween last year so I haven't got any opinion on last year's event. However, I did 2 years ago and I do know that the NPC's you gave candy to were rather stingy as well. I don't recall the exact number of candies I cashed in (was enough to be annoyed with my results that's for sure), but with all that I did give, I only got 1 hat.

My point here is, they both in turn, had similar rewarding standards. I personally liked going about and giving my candy to the NPCs (livened them up for sure), but really it's no different than cashing your candies in for a bag.

Last year's event (even though I didn't participate), was much more symbolic to Halloween. Trick or treating at player's houses and such (that was part of it, yes?).  

Maybe we should try and improve the new Halloween system?  

try domething new, surprise us

See thats the problem you had, you had a rough time with the NPC's and thought "this is annoying, lets change it" and I don't blame you I do the same thing. But the challenge was the point of the whole event, and if you had lots of candy you would have gotten more hats, because I had about 600-400 pieces of candy, and I have every hat from the last ghost halloween. I think you just had bad luck in this situation. If you didnt participate in last halloween then ofcourse its hard for you to understand, imagine 500 pieces of candy you earned from all that collecting turned into one prize and that one prize might be gralats, thats how it worked so everyones candy was drained and the least hats I got was 2 and a couple pieces of furniture and when I say couple I say literally 2 furniture.
Sure its an event that makes more sense for halloween, but the ghost catching was fair, fun, and competitive.

I don't understand how shoveling is worst than bug net. Mind explaining?

Shoveling would be like an easier version of bug net while still keeping the competition feeling since you still have to fight for the spot to dig.  

last year's was insanely boring, hoping this year's incorporates some element of actual gameplay rather than a popularity/gralat pack contest
99% chance I won't participate either way because I'll be busy, but would still be nice to see something interactive
