Halloween Program Grind

[TheFanManIsaFan]

I read that you need ~150 pumpkin coins to get all the halloween items. Since most of the Giester programs only offer 1 coin, does that mean I have to play ~100-150 trials if I want to get everything? That seems kind of ridiculous considering there are only 7ish halloween trials to choose from. Are they trying to artificially increase the length it takes to 100% the halloween event?

I would have much rather them make the giester event really difficult and offer more coins/awards per trial. Compared to program omega, this is mindlessly easy and I can only imagine how exhausted I would feel trying to get everything.

I mean.. you don't need to get everything unless you have that achievement hunter sorta mindset. my goal was just to get that uncle sam costume and.. yeah. I got it and that was that.

I still enjoy this game and thought that I was going to play this everyday after launch, but nope.. I played about 30 hours from the launch on May 18th till May 23rd and stopped playing until recently. I can't wait for the day in which you can play as the enemy to complete a trial! add in some new currency for winning as the enemy and... yeah. that probably isn't going to happen, but eh.. it is what it is.

Can't wait for Outlast 3 too, which they should probably have a tease sometime in 2024. it'll be interesting to see if they implement some multiplayer feature with this game being a sort of test. not a forced thing mind you but a separate mode altogether.

Its absurd, I can't imagine any adult working a full time job being willing/able to dedicate the amount of time needed to get everything.

play for a couple hours every day. will have it rather quickly as long as you dont take FOREVER to complete trials.

shouldnt take you longer than 10 minutes max to get 2 tickets.

then dont grind then. :l noone is making you.

sorry you cant grind casually for like 8 hours in the course of 3 weeks.

I think the issue a lot of people have is that it is an 8-15 hour grind of really short, easy, and highly repetitive gameplay.

It's not that people can't do the grind. It's more that a majority of the less die-hard fans DON'T want to burn themselves out doing something so tedious and, honestly, boring.

I was really hoping for something more engaging and fun after 6 months of practically nothing but a majority of the NEW content can be beaten in a day. It feels like this halloween program was purposefully made grind-y to extend the updates play-time.

I do agree with this sentiment.

now that I grinded out the geister tokens i no longer ever want to play any of the trials in that program again.

I had a friend who wanted to grind them with me and I said no lmao. and I AM a die hard fan.

Im hoping the weekly programs come with some more fleshed out changes to the game, and maybe a winter event to satisfy those who ran through this one really quickly and wanted more.

Hopefully they increase the tokens towards the end of the event as I do not want to grind all those trials again. I’ve already done 83 rebirths and seen enough of those.

You're acting like its absurd to want to get everything from a limited time event. What are you on about? Silly guy, there's only about 50ish items (most of which are player icons) to get but they're locked behind 10-15 hours of repetitive grind.

[Felicia]

you can finish the stop the autopsy trail in 6-10 mins thats what i did lol

[Machine Spirit]

10 small trials a day is doable but I agree the event overall is grindy.

This exactly. It's not that the grind is hard, it's that it's tedious. In this one update, that should have been something cool and fun, they manged to get people burnt out on doing the same tasks, literally 100 times or more, AND not spend any time on the new map, because they bizarrely didn't include it IN the grind maps

It's like they put zero thought into it

I mean, yeah. They are all cool, and I want them. Well...except for the outfits, which aren't really Halloweeny (a firefighter and Uncle Sam? C'mon guys) and way overpriced

But the majority of the rest are legitimately pretty nice. But the fact that they don't respect our time, or had enough forethought to realize that this grind is going to cause burnout, AND make people ignore the new map, by making this such a huge time investment, is some pretty poor thinking on their part. Plus the way it's designed, with random unlocks, even if you just wanted one or two in particular, depending on the luck off the draw, it STILL might take you 50+ tries. I really hope this isn't how future events are going to go

I highly doubt they will. With as little thought as they put into how this is going to work in the first place, I doubt they are going to put much thought in fixing it

I cannot imagine spending all your time doing the same trial all and all over again, this is subjective but that's just definition of insanity
