7 days to do Halloween event

[WiLK]

We dont have time i think to do all :/

[Freezy]

they need to update it again we are not getting it in this time i think

[Ragn]

Yeah, I strongly doubt we can make it in time...

[Magos Flibble]

8 days seems like plenty time to me shrugs

[Crisis]

the last one is almost dubble the amount of points that the other two needed. it's going to be a hard run most would get burned out playing the same maps each day, They really should not had have the trophy be part of a comunity event I have all event trophies so far but this one I might not get and not in lack of trying

[Crimson Bort]

I wouldn't worry about it. For one the event is only about halfway through and the second one is pretty much done (might even be done, haven't checked yet) Also they've allready changed the numbers, They'll just do it again if it's looking like its progressing too slowly. Though i'd prefer it if they just said "Turns out this community event was a terrible idea. Here's the rewards, lets never speak of community events again"

We should have time, and if not the developers have confirmed that they can make adjustments to the event progression directly to the live build without requiring a patch or update.

So if they see it's too slow, they can re-calibrate to make it possible. Just keep at it.

So, what I'm hearing, is the devs are planning to make sure the community actually finishes the goals.

Yeah. That’s how I’ve read it. It kind of makes it all feel a bit pointless.

These sort of events usually are. It's just to drive up numbers and make the game look good.

well keep in mind that this is the first time they have *EVER* done something like this... it is admittedly a bit bare bones right now, but if nothing else... this is both good practice, and also a good foundation... that they can build on to make future community events far more robust.

And in hindsight... starting as bonkers hard as they did was the correct move - it allowed them to properly factor in the influx of console players, which in turn made sure that the event wasn't absolutely crushed within the first couple of days. I've seen a community event be too easy before and... well lets just say that particular event got defeated in like two days, and then they added in a new goal that basically doubled the events length 'XD

IMO... next time they do a community event like this... they should at least require a minimal amount of games to participate in order to claim things like the ID cards and/or trophies. Like maybe something along the lines of correctly identifying five ghosts in valid event maps for example.

Because it is pointless. It's a "feel good" event so we can pretend that Kinetic didn't waste an unreasonable amount of time on console ports instead of actually finishing their game.

Honestly, if we spent over two weeks grinding over a hundred million bloodpoints and end up not even getting the final unlock, I'd be bit bothered by that. It makes everything else we did feel pointless.

Frankly as much as I want the reward, I'm starting to think its not worth it as am so bored with the maps, as there's nothing new to the maps just a paint job and gets even more disheartning when you play for several hours and all the communal even mark moves is 0.3 to 0.5 of a %Perhaps I wouldn't have noticed if all maps were open for the event, but 4 locations really strains boredom factor. I probably wouldn't notice it as badly, but compared to how the game was before, there's no fear factor anymore even worse that considering this is a Halloween event and I have not had one scare am so disappointed this years event

Yup.
Literally the only thing I care about is new maps and the "horror 2.0" update.
I want more Small maps mind you, the big ones are an absolute bore fest. They add literally nothing to the game.
