Halloween Haunt event

General Discussion Started Last reply 56 posts
Anyway, that seems to be just another non-event.
we used to get chrono weapons for chronicle launches now we get pumkin things.
Beats event gatekeepers though :)
it's better than a whole lot of nothing, so it could be worse =p

I'm slightly disappointed. There doesn't seem to be anything to *do*. Just a transformation wand.
Hoping the "surprise gift" is interesting. Not holding my breath though.



Would of been better if it didn't go away in 30 days. I'm sick of Shadow crap and Time restricted stuff Like the Santa hat. I want 2 wear my Santa hat in July!. It's like having a inventory slot taken up for 350 days out of the year for no reason.
Dear Siren,

Please could you confirm what the consequences of having a full warehouse would be.

One or both items won't appear.
One or two items dissapear to make space.
Both appear, over the limit, causing database bugs and the server crashes to an epic proportion.

Guessing the same thing as if you switch from a High WH-slot sub to a Low one, You will just have more things in there than the limit, doesn't break anything, you just can't put anything in till you take something out.

There you have it again: dual boxing!
ban imo
WH will just goto 101 until you remove something.
Ya, nice!!!
wooot, i can exp with vitality again. this will make it a bit easier to get 75.

now to find enough money to pay for shots....


edit:
i just wish you could freight these pops. 5 toons i seldom to never play ... i'd like to use their pops on other characters that i DO play.
-cries-

Full vitality 5 consecutive times?

I might even get to 70 this way :o :)
I want something else. I never play long enough to drop my vit to 3 at most.
Always one not happy.
Kama, that means you don't need to use the items until your vit does get low enough, whenever that may be.

I've calculated that using all 5 on my main will be worth approximately 15 hours of xp time.

[Off topic: It's moments like these I wish the boards wern't so heavily moderated so that I could respond to kama properly. Personal flames, et al. Gu.ru style ;) ]
Weeee! Full vit! So awsome, this is way better than enchants and or buffscrolls!
Awesome gift. TYVM!!!
They are also going to put 1 PTS server in each persons warehouse that lasts 1 hour. You must test everything in that time frame. 1/2x XP, 1/4x drops, and 200,000 adena. Once your hour is up you will receive a boost for all characters to level 85. Since your hour is up however you will be unable to access those characters or enjoy the boost. Also note the PTS will be down for just one hour as soon as you begin your hour. Thank you for testing the PTS and enjoy your Halloween treat!
Yes, I'm not happy. Why don't we have events with for example 2 rewards to choose? (like in this case). And that's hardly an event. Yay, I can transform to a pumpkin ghost and I didn't do anything. I really liked events that give us something to do. Grinding pigs/rats is ok. Whatever keeps me from grinding the same mobs in the same places for days.
We've just had an event. Having two this close together isn't something we've experienced before - so be grateful. At least with this one, if you don't like it, the only level of involvement you have in it is *select item, delete*.

Done.
I am a t a loss as to why time out the pumpkin outfit. Those were left in the game for Lineage 1 and people loved them. Pleaese have them re-consider that piece. I would love to have mine forever personally. Other than that, woot, nice event, hope there are lots of spookies around Aden too!!!!

Awesome gift. TYVM!!!

Oh boy, you sure not gonna like L2 when u get higher lvl >.<

Pls consider WoW. It has flashy graphix and many crayon colors. Getting to endgame takes about a month. Bye :)
It's not even an event :(
Thanks for the stuff. But... weird...

Well you can see it like a xp event.

Yeah, in a way. And you can kinda choose when to get it, which is better than a set period of time. But you have to play more to enjoy the boost. Pros and cons.
Well, it's nice anyway. Not Nirvana, but from NCsoft it would be foolish to wait for the perfect event.
Be happy we even get events. Many mmos don't.

you can't say that. kinda ignorant for pay to play game. unless you want to lose customers
Common siren push them to make the stick permenant ingame item no trade/no drop whats the harm?! I cant see any reason why it would be a bad thing

i believe bcoz its paid service in korea (ncoin) they made it shadow item for us
I can see in about 6-12 months time there will be a way (AA/Fantasy Coins) to buy these 'Vitality Potions'.

Then everyone will be 80.

What the [censored] did you even try to say there? Because you pay to play you must have events? Or is that just wishful thinking on your part? I want to know if you have any clue whatsoever about what it is exactly you want to share with the class today.

Thing is, if your barely in game long enough to drain your Vitality below three, then your sure as hell not in game long enough to take advantage of those kind of events... soooo...

Actually no. There was never any Halloween theme paid service or event ever in Korea, China or Japan.
check new update
I am refering to gracia 2.1 and 2.2, not 2.3 since that is not on any of the Korea, China or Japan live servers. If you look at the 2.1 and 2.2 updates, none of them have the pumpkin transform item to turn into pumpkin, even in the final CT 2.2 update patch note.

Even with triple exp constantly that is still a crapload of exp

Personally I think the "Event" is pretty week, sure the pops will be nice, but It kinda feels like the "Events" that are just extra gatekeepers.
It doesn't feel special at all, no decorations in town, no special event quests, nothing to do. just 2 items everyone gets by default.

And before the fanboys show up and tell me I'm lucky to even get an item, take a look at the other MMO's around now. They all have exciting events, this game needs something to take your mind off the grind and it will appeal to a lot more people. I think it's a shame NCsoft almost disregards L2 NA/EU,

No, thank you. I tried to play WoW, and it's not a game for me. Warhammer online is not the game for me too. Lineage 2 is a game for me. But that doesn't mean that when there is event (and I mean event, and not a giveaway) I want to do something else, than get the items and go back to usual grind. I don't mind grinding.

I'm more focused on earning money that on exping. What's wrong with this? I don't care about vitality/exp.
im pumpkin all the time ... will this event transform me to Cinderella ?
Cool event. My vitality dies too fast on my GH so this is going to be nice.

ive played other mmos that started doing "exp events" and it ruined the game (mu online anyone?).

I hope this isnt a regular thing or everyone will level too fast, thats the appeal to most people is the work you have to put in to get somewhere in this game. Why change a good thing.
i hope the lollipops will be tradeable i dont wanna lvl my PP with them i wanna give them to my main BD

ah it wont be i just found out :mad:
would suck if they were tradable
ebayers would pay a fortune for them and i'd rather not have to sell the ones i want ><

A tasty candy treat that fully replenishes vitality upon use. This item cannot be traded, sold, freighted or dropped, but can be stored in your private warehouse.



Morning all.
+1 LMAO
