Really?

You're gonna post to complain about a holiday GM event? GMs are too cool headed to tell you where to stick your complaint...

When all you care about is the reward I don't even understand how you wind up playing on an EQ emu in the first place.

I didn't care about the reward, I cared about the fun and exciting experience. Unfortunately, it wasn't either of those. Get off your high horse, at least we gave it a shot instead of saying "Screw Brakner he's a turd"

I got more loot by not going to the event. candy and beers all night.

Actually, that's pretty close to what some folks HAVE said in this thread.

i cared about actually finishing an event... from what people were saying rewards were shit anyway, didnt care about that, would of been nice to actually finish it...

and as far as dev team making this.. if THEY all actually helped then.. thats pretty dumb how crappy this turned out, they need to take in consideration of EVERYONE when doing these not just cater to high lvl people...

I see these holidays as an opportunity to toss us some custom content..IE: why not tune the Saryn event from nightmares, or the Hedge etc...bring some of the BEST encounters from EQ history (POP) to this amazing server?

I was hoping the Stay Puft Marshmellow Man would rampage through west commons. Maybe next year.

I think this GM event was actually pretty awesome. The amount of work put in for the clues and the npc's and the tricks was great. As a suggestion for future events though, when it comes to rewards, perhaps draw from the list of actual GM event rewards from live a long time ago, not the super expansion events, but the mini-events that happened. This NPC has the list of rewards that were given out, it's almost complete, there are a few items missing from that list, including a few artifacts. None of those items are game-breaking though, so would be appropriate.

Let me ask you guys this; if there was no event, what would you have done? Personally I think it was a great job by Braknar, and he can learn from what went wrong. Give the guy some credit, he coded it pretty much all by himself.

Presumably the same thing they'd do any other night. The wife and I liked the event. We did not go to the event. We liked it because Velketor's was completely empty so we had the zone to ourselves to duo in for a few hours during primetime--not something that happens often!

As for GM event item rewards, perhaps it's worth mentioning--perhaps someone else already mentioned--that there should exist within the database a significant number of classic GM event items which cannot be obtained in-game via other means, yet which are also typically far from being overpowered. Such status symbols are probably the types of rewards many players participating in these types of events hope for.

lol you're fucking serious with that question?


gone out and partied earlier? Halloween is the best god damn holiday ever. A halloween Gm event is usually the best event ever, regardless of the rewards. The tricks werent that good, I mean tis halloween man!!!!and the treats were kinda eh.

a gm event is like twice a year thing, which is sometimes funner then going to house parties.

Some of the more creative events were better then sitting around shooting pool and throwing darts with a few buddies


Im sure it took a lot of time to code all of that, impressive for sure. but maybe you guys should of helped his creative side =)
