Give out the crown exclusive orange dye as a witches festival dye this year. more activities

Aliyavana

So far it looks like it will be a uniteresting year for witches festival for those who participated last year... please zos consider giving out that orange dye available last year as a reward this year as maybe a rare drop from plunder skulls. those of us who participated last year are not going to be all too excited. @ZOS_GinaBruno add new activities we can do this year (like trick or treatin) that has candy as currency, and rarely has rarer quality candy that can be traded for exclusive dyes like the pumpkin orange or maybe new dyes like ghoulish green, banshees purple, etc...

I agree. I just got the same old, last year's loot when I was killing bosses on the PTS. Super lame. This stuff is also available by the droves in guild stores, for those who missed it last year. Boring!

Please make all new loot for this year's festival! If you must include -some- of last year's loot, please make the drop very rare.

Honestly I was hoping for:

1. New motif. Maybe a super goth vampire motif this time.
2. New recipes!
3. New masks, maybe a werewolf and vampire style monster mask, instead of last years pumpkin and scarecrow.
4. Style stones for the new motif
5. Crafting mats are always welcome
6. Dyes would be cool, but I'd rather they unlock as permanent.
7. A new creepy pet or costume as the rare drops.

Adding more items to the loot table means it will be harder for those who hasn't participated last year and those who want to collect stuff on other characters to complete anything.

More stuff like crafting mats - sure. More recipes and stuff required for achievements that drop together with old stuff? Please,no.

Paying 500 gold per motif for hallowjack motifs isn't hard to achieve

Some people insist on getting everything on their own and/or not every new player has that much gold - some people don't know how to or refuse to make gold. You don't care about them? Besides, as a person who already has hollowjack, why would I want to have it in my loot when I need a new motif (if it's added)?

Yes please.

R.i.p. all those people who paid for the one time dyes.

Recycling last year's loot will make those who participated last year disappointed. Old loot a year later will make the festival seem stale. I've never seen a complaint about new loot before, but I guess anything is possible in these forums.

I agree that it's super easy to obtain Hollowjack motif pages and recipes. All but one recipe is very inexpensive.

I think each year should have a new Crown exclusive motif, with that motif then being the dropped motif the second year.

For example, last year we had the Hollowjack motif drop and Grim Harlequin as the Crown exclusive motif. This year should be Hollowjack with a decreased drop rate and Grim Harlequin now dropping from bosses. You then add a new Crown exclusive motif such as the Wild Hunt motif (or some such thing). This gives each year's crown motif a one-year exclusive, while allowing the motif to be earned in subsequent years.

Just a thought.

That would be pretty cool, but I doubt they'll bring anything listed as crown exclusive into the game for free.

I like this idea. Maybe put it on a four year cycle - one year as the primary drop, next year as a secondary drop with a lower rate, third year it doesn't drop at all and put it in the Crown Store in year four - then back as a primary drop the year after. The year off gives people time to empty their stocks and drive up the rarity for the Crown Store. If you miss it, or insist on getting it in game, either shell out gold or wait a year. We the players have options, and they get to pull in money from people not willing to wait.

A couple masks and a handful of furnishing recipes is not going to be enough to keep me interested in this Festival.

I would like ZOS to create an anti-bewitch potion as a drop people can obtain during the event What's an anti-bewitch potion? A potion that gives you 15 seconds of immunity to cost-increase poisons.
Or... better yet, make it a recipe that you can get during the event. Well, as a food / drink recipe maybe that wouldn't work. But, as a potion, maybe to make it you would need a very very rare ingredient that would drop during the event.
