Halloween Event

[Tecmos Deception]

I'm just being the devil's advocate now, because I'm over it really.

But pointing out that part of the event was accessible to everyone while part of the event was effectively only accessible to one (or maybe two) guilds? That perfectly demonstrates that not everyone was treated equally.

I guess this is classic? Lord knows I played on live for dozens of days /played back in the pre-luclin/pop eras, never in a raiding guild, and I never once experienced a GM event.

As far as I know, Blackburrow and Field of Bone are not locked down by any guilds on this server. Both of those zones had people in them when the event began and it was a matter of finding the God not standing there and doing nothing, then complaining about it on the forums.

In Hate yes, people mobilized quickly and 3 of the top tier raiding guilds competed for the kill, and were rewarded. This did not keep people from trying to find the Hide and seek style events and no 1 guild received all the items given away.

I experienced at least three different GM events way back in the day on Live. When I switched to Dark Age of Camelot, I lamented the fact that there weren't any random crazy things concocted by GMs. I missed that.

I never really had a chance at getting super rare rewards. However, on one Halloween, I remember killing some werewolves in West Commons with my 20-something ranger and receiving a Serpent Insignia Collar. I never had a shot at taking down the uber werewolf that dropped a Rubicite BP, but it was fun watching it get blasted to smithereens all the same.

At another live event, I simply died from a weird mob in EC. I actually thought it was funny, and I don't think I lost XP for it.

Please keep doing abnormal events, GMs. I don't really care if I never have a shot at amazing rewards. They help spice things up, regardless.

1+1=2

You're not understanding that, apparently.

You guys will bitch anytime someone does something nice for the server, won't you. No wonder the GMs hate doing these events, the vocal minority always bitch about it afterwards.

I enjoyed the event, thanks staff!

What did you have to do to get rewards? Was it simply hide and seek? Like if a lv 11 ran into a god by mistake did he get a guise? I don't understand. I logged on right as the last announcement about CT choosing a soldier.

Yes, Inny was hiding in Blackburrow and then after he died CT broke free of Fear and was hiding in Field of Bone.

1 event was won by a level 31 elf, it was in Black Burrow.

1 event was won by a peck from Divinity in Field of Bone.

1 event was won by BDA in PoH.


2 of the 3 events were won by people either under level 40 or not in one of the top 2 raiding guilds.

ONE event was for 46+ and won by one of the top guilds on the server.

i think that's more than fair.
