The only sad part is thinking a whole year has flown by since I last did a round of Mad King Says, whereas it only feels like a few months :-O

 

True. Also, there are always players who started after last year's Halloween, like me. For us, it doesn't matter if the same Halloween content is used as the last years ^^

Yeah I would really love bringing this one back. Nothing says Halloween like running around the labarynth drunk like a headless chicken.

Sadly just getting the same thing for holidays has become rather dull but they're putting their resources into higher priority tasks.

No

Lol.. it'll be the same... come on.. you think we'd get anything new xD

Yeah, we never get anyting new in this game! *goes hero point farming for new elites in the expansion*

I don't mean those doors that spawn, I mean any door.

As long as the Ghostly Outfit and Witches Hat come back this year in the Gem Store I will be content. I missed out on those last year due to being out of town on business and would greatly like a chance to get those as I'm sure many others would.

 

 

**Ghostly Outfit: **

Mad King vs King Joko, i can only dream. Its his old archrival, so it would be the perfect time for it. More realistically, they should bring back reaper's Rumble and Lunatic Inquisition, and the open world events from the 2012 version. Its been so long, its just a distant memory now.

[Alga.6498]

If this Halloween 2017 will be the exact same as our prev years, I wont bother to do a damn thing again since its utter boring.

All I want is something new, the halloween storyline with the Blood Prince, Lunatic mini-game, anything new! (Or old content to return!)

[PyrateSilly.4710]

The devs said a few years ago that with some updates done to the game that something got messed up with bringing back the scavenger hunt for the Mad Memories backpack. They did say that they were trying to fix it to bring it back. Not sure if they are still working on it in their spare time but they did say they wanted to bring it back. It's the same thing with a few other games and such, things got messed up somewhere and they have been fixing things when they can.

As for a whole new and different Halloween event or new events for it --- most MMO's implement holiday events to not only give their players something new but then it usually gets recycled every year to then give their workers time off with their own families. If they introduced too many new events then the devs have to spend more time in the office during the holiday and not with their own family.

[staringcenter.5013]

I am thinking that it is going to be the same as the past few years. It would be great if they let us decide which mastery area that the experience goes toward, but I doubt that they would allow that.

[Khailyn.6248]

Really hoping for the return of some of the year 1 halloween skins. Scythe, Chainsaw etc.. its been long enough and the prices are insane.

[Dante.1763]

Ill be happy if they bring back the backpack so i can finish it :/

[BrandenburgAngel.7561]

I'm just desperate to have the Labyrinth back this year. I've run it like CRAZY every single year. It's when I level up most of my characters. Plus, what about Steve?! STEVE MISSES US. We can't leave him wandering around, so dejected he can't hold up his chainsaw!

[sorudo.9054]

unless they remove the timer in the clock tower it will be yet another boring event.

I'm in that .01% too. I support bringing it back if we can replay those quests. I recall enjoying them (though they were really tough with my low level, pre ascended, pre HOT, pre knowing much in the game toons).

 

 

[Gaile Gray.6029]

I'm really excited for this year's Halloween Festival. Oh, granted, I'm excited about *every* year's Halloween Festival -- it's just a great time to be in the game! =)

 

We'll have info on that for you about dates and such in the future. I hope to see you all in the game during the most magical time of the year!

i'm also a proud owner and imho they shouldn't bring the hunt back. it distiguishes us first year gamers from the rest of the bunch.

I got that skin at the time, but deleted it before the wardrobe was released. While I completely agree with keeping exclusive skins exclusive, I also kinda want to unlock it again.

Im always like that before Halloween starts... and then its over and Wintersday Hype starts :blush: I just love the short wait between those two fun events. Both definitely help me make it through the boring winter days here :smile:
