Are you looking forward to the events?

Feanor

I really enjoyed the events altogether (although the quests on the Jester Festival were a bit tedious). Already looking forward to Witches Festival. How about you?

I don't care for events at all.

After the morrowind changes, nothing looks appealing.

There really isn't an option for me. I do like the events, but I think they could be improved.

Like I said in another thread, I'd love it if Witches festival added some random semi-rare spawns across the maps. Sort of like how Werewolves and Vampires work now. New mobs. Like Hollowjacks, or the animated scarecrows. Though bloodfiend and werewolf spawns in any zone at night during the event would also be a neat nod to players who wanted access to those skill lines, and haven't learned how to get normal infections naturally.

Yes absolutely! I loved Witches Festival and New Life last year!

Going to decorate my house for the Witches Festival. Will be interesting to see how I can turn it from a homey Nord home to a haunted house.

Yes absolutely! I loved Witches Festival and New Life last year!

It's new to me since I haven't seen them and I love events.

As long as they are not a farm fest, hundreds of people in one zone killing mobs/NPCs and not ones that make you run from A-B-A over and over

The witches, from memory, was based on drops from any boss, overland, delve, final boss at dolman. So it was upto you if you wanted to be in a farm fest or get off the beaten track and find your own corner to fight in. (There was also a timer and so same delve dropped every second or third boss).
There were a couple of caves I liked to frequent, but also found a line that, from right to left was delve, overland boss, dolman, overland boss, delve.
I did not hang out at the most popular dolmans in the hope of being one of the few who did enough damage to get a drop (read somewhere that only the top 8 or so at a dolman gets the drop).

Yes, but some new or better rewards would be great!

Events are great, but they need to be a bit harder to complete. I have pretty limited play time yet managed to complete all of them quickly.

The Motif event was cool, generated some good income but also filled a lot of gaps I had (OCD) Witches was mega at the time but definitely needs new rewards, PvP event I had nothing that useful despite 100's of boxes.

Imp City needs another event. that was epic, the best yet.

Khenarthi

While I have enjoyed the previous events, some feel like a chore if you really want to get one of the rare drops. So I am not looking forward to them. I'll enjoy them, sure, but I'd be perfectly happy even if they did not exist.

Indeed, this would add much more flavor to the overall event. The reward boxes are better than a kick in the teeth, but they're still just another way to clog inventory.

I'd also like the reward boxes to be able to be placed in the bank with the ability to preview the contents directly (all types, not just these), taking up the same one slot they take up in your inventory now.

They could even add event named drops of the standard overland sets, even though this would just be for individual benefit and have no real function otherwise.

Throw some actual roaming bosses/mobs out there, not just ones that stand around waiting for someone to happen along to kill them... Give people a chance to seek them out vs just going to a specific place.

Think 'Trove Scamps' on a zone-wide level, much bigger, and much more interesting.

DRXHarbinger

Yes, but some new or better rewards would be great!

New life was the most tedious crap on earth.

Witches Festival was pretty good but I hated having to be a Skeleton the whole time and the plunder buckets NEED to stack for Christ sake, I had such a good farming spot for them (VMA) 45 min runs were perfect for grinding it whilst getting the weapons, minor gold and purple mats to sell, granted now my bag and bank is doubled but still but it was horrible juggling bank space for it. Hoarders lives matter!

I don't think that's true, unless you mean a worth while drop. There has never been a single time in playing the game that I didn't get something from a doleman chest.

I'm looking forward to the new witches' home for my lovable monk

I am sure that this was in the forums as an answer from Gina around the time of the last Witches festival as people were not getting drops in the packed dolmans.
I could equally be getting confused with pre 1 tam where you had to be +/- 5 levels to the boss level to get a drop.

The dolmen chest always drop, get in an LA and you get it, I even got chest in zerg group while AFK during fight
Note that Alkir zerg might break this rule and break you gpu

Delve bosses will spawn multiple times they still have the cooldown for loot, so second round is for the ones who did not get any.

I don't care for events at all.

Hope they gonna sell Grim Harlequin again so I can complete my motifs collection.

Dasovaruilos

Yes, but some new or better rewards would be great!

I am looking for the Double XP more specifically. I have 4 alts I wanna level.

I think they schedule the Double XP events way too close together in the end of the year. I wish they were a little bit more spaced out so that we don't stay 6 months without one, and then 3/4 in the space of the other 6.

The events were mostly fine. Some were way too grindy, but I had fun in all of them.

Wrecking_Blow_Spam

Yes, but some new or better rewards would be great!

I like all the unique food and drink recipes.
They're the only reason I participate.
