- no new achievements added since last year
- "new" masks are the same masks as last year, just slightly modified
- small variety of furnishing items and blueprints
- stupid 3 minute timer on plunder skulls
- sticks, sticks and even more sticks from plunder skulls
- broken witch's hut (invisible walls, raining inside etc)
- xp buff which will create more "skyreach grinders" with max CP
- lost days of the event because of maintenances

I have pretty useless tons of branchs in my inventory (specially if I consider the amount of object I can place in my home is limited), and it would be nice if more new stuffs drops (I get some nice blueprints, but very few compared to recipe, motif, and BRANCHS !!! ) and new mask seems a bit similar (at less for the "not pumpkin" one).
I another way, it motives some people to do worldbosses, and I could join to complete some achievements (I mainly play solo and no strong enough to kill Worldbosses alone)
XP buf is not bad, but, as I'm already 40 CP above the cap, it's not as usefull as it could (may be for abilities of my secondary characters ?)
I enjoyed it last year - but it was before we knew better.
This was nowhere near as good as the christmas event. Or even the Jesters event (which was annoyingly repetitive) and not really that fun - but at least it was different. This one is just extra rewards for playing the game. Not more fun than just playing, really...
In addition, The fact it barely changed from last year also makes me worried about this years christmas event.
Also I forgot the name of the christmas one.
PS4 - EU
Please put the Eyevea/EarthForge wayshrines back on the map?
I wanted the new house, so my friend and I spent the first two days grinding to 100 skulls for the achievement - that wasn't too bad, we mostly hung around delves that had good trash mobs/loot around the boss and did that while we waited for repawns. Made decent gold and picked up some furniture plans doing that.
I like that it was any delve/dungeon/dolmen/dark fissure - this made it so you were rewarded just by going about your daily business, as opposed to having to do a specific task (painful flashbacks to that Pig Quest in Jester's).
Rewards were...lacking. I expect gold items to be rare, but mix it up a little man - enough with the branches. They were this festival's Jester Banner for sure. I'm also not big into Halloween/Spooky so even when I did get the one mask, I just flipped it. Personal preference there.
The house purchasable for gold with the achievement was definitely worth the grind. I would like to see festivals reward like this more.
I liked the one last year more ... I think part of the reason was that it felt 'new' last year and everyone was excited about getting plunder skulls. Last year I really wanted to collect all the recipes, so right before I clicked on a plunder skull to open it, I was full of anticipation wondering if that would be the one with the recipe I wanted. LOL!
