I hope you guys are all enjoying the halloween quest, alot of time went into it on my part! What i'm looking for is a post from everyone who has taken part. Explaining the following things:

- did you enjoy the quest?
- what didn't you like?
- what did you like?
- are you pissed about absorb?
- how do you feel about the drops?
- how would you have improved the workings of the quest?

Every bit of feedback is helpful! Both good and bad! I need to get working with christmas so if you wish to post item idea like you did with halloween feel free!

[Hansol]

Im not all that interested in the quest tbh,
i dont really like the corn maze, it makes you so disorientated lol
erm
I like how its bringing clans together etc..
reckon the absorb is pretty cool, could make the game more interesting..
the drops, what ive heared of them are excellent!

Killing the ghosts of the players seems mildly satisfying even if they wish to be helpful. Their death scream scared the living daylights out of me, even though I have heard that sound before, so... nice work on terrifying me!

[Foxie]

the ghosts don't move so they act as landmarks in the maze

- did you enjoy the quest?
Yes, very much. Still do.

- what didn't you like?
That you don't get exp.
(and that i dont receive a million gold everytime i kill a ghostie, but that could go on and on lol, but the thing mentioned above í dont really know why that was made this way.)

- what did you like?
That you aren't able to fully understand the maze, so it kinda doesnt matter if u just got in the maze for the first time, u almost have the same chance of running into a boss.
The diversity of drops.
The team aspect that evolved from it.
Oh and the rat tails bat bloods thingy is fun. Although drop rate is kinda low, which would be oke if you were killing rats anyhow but i don't. But then again the reward is kinda big so it all adds up.

- are you pissed about absorb?
No, loving it. I'm pissed about mage's rounding characters and still able to hide themselves. Thought thieves were the assassinators.

- how do you feel about the drops?
Love em, poison/vamp/absorb, its got it all. Like the mages weapon, although they wont use it for vamp it's still cool to have i reckon.

- how would you have improved the workings of the quest?
Hmm not a sane answer right now. I've been away for 3 years but this is definately one of the best quests i've seen.

- did you enjoy the quest?
No.
- what didn't you like?
Losing massive experience due to getting trapped by ktp monsters that beam does 1 hp. damage on while exploring the maze. Exploring again cuz u changed the boss locations. All the work of learning was wasted. That took the value of all my work to learn it the first time. Also, losing all that exp. and gold used for pots/mana took the value out of the effort used to make it.

- how do you feel about the drops?
Nice drops. Sour grapes and jealousy on my part since I spent so much time/exp./gold and got 0!


There is nothing worse than when the rules change. Or your map randomly changes and kills the players. It makes the rules look arbitrary and subject to the whim of the rulesmaker.
What else did I not like? I killed several bosses between my crits and didn't get one drop!
Newer players get nothing, they wouldn't stand a chance.

- are you pissed about absorb?
Well, it doesn't look horrible so far. The ones that got tons of drops I've still managed to pk spell absorb or not. I am pissed that they got lots of drops somehow. I am concerned that they might be able to wear too many spell absorbs and unbalance things between mage vs. mage.

- what did you like?
The ghost of players was really cool. It was fun killing the ghosts of those I didn't like and fun seeing the ones of my friends. The maze concept and ghost markers was good.(not the changing part though)

- how would you have improved the workings of the quest?
Staff acts like they want to attract new players. Would be nice if there was a lower level capped area where a newb might survive. I'd also do away with mid-quest changes that kill people.

[Foxie]

the quest is based on trick or treat .... most bosses have nice experience and low hp with nice drops giving you all a chance. However every treat has a trick... that would be the giant!

Loving the quest, definitely enjoying how the bosses move, and the constant teleporting, makes things interesting and keeps things confuzing, capturing the real aspect of the maze.

Did you enjoy it?

Yes, very much so. The pks of the beginning and the constant thrill of getting randomly stuck at giant when making a wrong turn is nice.

What didn't you like?
Some drops are more frequent and better than others.

What did you like?
Teleport squares is a nice feature, made mapping it hard till I found out how it worked. The uniqueness of the drops.

Are you pissed about absorb?
The fact that .06 absorb is pretty easy to get, yeah, but aslong as the max absorb possible ever is .1, I'll be happy.

How did you feel about the drops?
Unique, decently easy to get some solo (although time consuming, which I feel is a good trade off).

How would you impove on the working of the quest?
I would've chose to make only the scarecrow ktp, since it's much easier than other bosses and with full pots, an attacker might have a chance of soloing.

[Throwback]

Like- Yes, it is difficult, rewarding, random as hell, and has an item description i wrote.
Dislike-The random placing of bosses. At least make some hard to find (P.S- I can go anywhere and know where I am, and Im not kidding)
Absorb-who cares, only makes like a 2 pt difference...we argued for weeks for 2 pts. awesome job
Drops-I like, cept trident is useless
What would I change-placement of bosses, they are by far the most ridiculous thing. they are so easy to find sometimes. I think multiple mazes would have been kool....like one for each boss.....mage drop in dendeya maze, bane drop in harabec, thief drop in rh, ring drop in nm. and 3k for candy....def trick not treat

[Ryuku]

Absorb-who cares, only makes like a 2 pt difference...we argued for weeks for 2 pts. awesome job

To me, it's not the impact it would make (as you can see, it's almost no impact at all). It's the fact staff used their time making it when it doesn't do much but make mages damage look funny (which I admit, I do enjoy looking at).

Since this is a reply to someone elses post, and not feedback of the quest, feel free to delete it if need be.

Firstly, I loved playing around on it on and off this weekend.
Saw 10 or so monsters die and got no randoms til someone took pity and threw me a bangle on my birthday ty again! =-D

There was nothing I didn't like tbh, it was well thought out and the annoyances were more than balanced by the rewards.

I loved the way it brought whoever was online together to fight the bosses. Every single player I came across worked with me to beat them (with the exception of Jordan on Freek), but even his account partners worked together with us too

Everyone knows in all honesty absorb was needed but I'm yet to see how much of an effect it is having.

The drops are all beneficial to have and cool, good work in making them desirable but not overpowering

How would I have improved the workings of the quest? No idea, I'm enjoying it how it is. Ty Emma, great work

make it somewhere you dont need to kill a tough monster to be able to look at. encourage clans to work together rather than just the few people in a certain clique
