You have unwittingly opened the time rift and allowed me to enter your domain. I should thank you for this, but you are just a simple fool and knew not what your actions would bring. Do you know now what time it is? It is time for me to make an example of you for all this world to witness. Your lifeless corpse will hang from stakes, a reminder of how easily I can sweep your world's inhabitants aside.



"The disciples of Nexus report it has been engulfed in darkness and a spell has been casted upon it.
Meanwhile a strange rift has appeared..."

I have no much time to play but as far what I have seen of the event you both have done a great job Smiley Smiley Smiley
I just can see how much work you put into it and I hope all other players will see it aswell (I bet they will).
If T 11 will just be near this one I think we all can have a lot of fun.
So thanks again Akka and Rent for all the work  Kiss

Any chance we can make the quest items stackable?

This event has been awesome so far. Thanks to you both for the time and effort put into this for the EZ community. I dare say this is the best event to come out on the EZ server.

I have 40 hours logged in 3 days (lol?). I would like to pass along some drop/spawn info opinions. For reference on kill rate, I turned in 20,000+ coins just yesterday.

Boss chains should have their frequency increased some. I have spawned more namers than I can count but have only had 1 chain to the last one. Bad RNG, I get it, but it seems to be a common cause of frustration in /ooc. Bumping the frequency up some will get lots of cheers from us players.

Necklace Quest: I'm half way done. Could the drops be zone wide rather than concentrated from one area? The only reason I'm as far as I am is because I have not gotten the keystone from that chain yet. Once I do and move on, it'll be a decision on whether to finish the quest or do other stuff. Not a problem in a new tier, but in a timed event may prove to be an unfinished quest for everyone due to the drops being concentrated in one area.

Damage: A slight reduction in damage would be good for T9 and new-to- T10 geared players. Nothing crazy, maybe 10-25%. Others would have to chime in on that.

Coffins/Tombs: There's still a few that agro. No big deal, but if it helps I can get /loc's?

Minions of Zorth pop up behind you when pulled from the underground tunnels. Not sure anything can be done there.

Anyway, enough time spent typing, back to the grind!!

Yeah, the initial chance to spawn a trigger boss, and thus a chance at a chain could def use an increase - We have pretty much narrowed down what mobs triggers which boss, but it just happens so rarely that there's currently a big chance noone will actually unlock the final stages of the event based on current progress - My worst fear, after hammering away at this event for probably as much as Denzig over the past days, that the event will end with us having bags full of candy and a couple of awesome augments, but missing the final act all together.

Agree, and it would be much appreciated if the 40+ components could be made stackable too Smiley - Quality of life Smiley

Damage is on the high end - Especially i Noticed Twigs ditching out damage in the 4M area - Could be a proc of some kind (doesnt seem to be a melee hit)

Again, event is awesome - I think with a few minor adjustments it could be even more awesome, and I'd love to see the final act of it Smiley

Please do not nerf the damage further.     The twigs are exciting.   


Awesome event!     Really enjoying it.    It was also great of you to add the drops to lower tier zones to ensure everyone can have some fun.

since the inception of Haloween MPG has been very spotty for a lot of players - most common is - able to zone in but cannot select an ess only your leader can (no one is raid is considered leader) - zone out and try to re enter (you have other commitments) and your locked out for the duration.  I know a lot of peeps that have OOC'd would appreciate a fix - thanks

Not sure if it's just a case of the Mondays, but  I know I'm starting to get annoyed with the rarity of the named...let alone seeing a total of one run to the 3rd boss after hacking away at it for nearly a week.  It appears most people are finding a higher ROI in anywhere but this zone, having fun with the mass pull sticks and mass farming lower tiered zones and very few have been in the Halloween zone all day.  There were probably a good number of named spawning the first few days just from the sheer number of people in the zone, but it's pretty ghostly today.  Either way, since it's a limited time zone I'll be spending my time beating my fingers against the keyboard til they bleed.
