Can we get some events that aren't just complete quest for points or material and exchange for fighters, stone apples, synergy ticket, stamp cube, etc.
They're not particularly engaging/interesting and the quantities rewarded are never very much.

Anything specific you're looking for in that case?

i like how the buff is a toggle rather than having to stay in a specific place for an amount of time

Generally speaking IM related items or more scarce items such as Sage Stones, Atma Stones or reforge materials would be nice. I see no reason to do the event for essentially a bag of apples.

does Elsword still do free costumes from seasonal events?

I think the key takeaway should be less about "what do we give players" and more "what does the event do?" Even in small quantities, just giving a couple sage stones and time space scrolls would probably be fine. People enjoyed the harmony festival for that, after all. But they still found the event itself boring for the most part, didn't they?

#

For my money, the most enjoyable and memorable events are the ones where players can, for just a while, play around with something wild and transformative. A dungeon that you don't normally see, potions that do weird stuff, temp recolored mounts. All stuff you guys have done in the past, and all of which has been received well on its own.

#

As long as it's done in the spirit of "providing a fun event," players should respond positively.

#

The toggle buff is a good step in that direction, so I do want to praise that. It's more of the silliness that I feel the game sometimes forgets it was originally founded on.

  • In terms of a Halloween event, this should be a time when players take a step back from all of the seriousness and hardcore grinding, and get a moment to just laugh about something. That's what I hope really gets communicated to the dev team from this.

So yeah, spot-on then. And there's lots of possibilities you guys could explore with this too, since the only real goal is to make something silly and fun mostly with the assets the game's already got.

  • Pumpkinlanche's Revenge yet again, and you try to blow him up with cannons as he flies by
  • Every time you enter a dungeon you get a random buff that gives you a Jojo Stand style phantom of a mob, but they're all weak stuff like Phoru and Lizardmen
  • Event dungeon where the boss is literally just a giant physics object pumpkin you have to smack out of the arena before it blows up

More unique rewards would be nice, 1 ugly cosmetic is such a snoozefest.

#

More premium rewards too, we can all obtain GSA/Fighters/Syn tickets f2p already. Anything exclusive to the item mall helps more.

#

And do not say "gold stamp is right there"

Disregarding the rewards for a moment, the only events i did enjoy were those who had a specific dungeon tied to them, recent memory thinks of the Halloween Tower Defence-esque event we had last year. Even way longer ago we could have a grim reaper spawn while doing dungeons.

I'd rather have repeated events over "do your daily and get a couple of apples". I can understand that we can't have a new dungeon for every single event, but, at least for seasonal things, such as Halloween, i think repeated events from previous years is fine, just tinker the rewards.

An issue i have had with events that did have more effort than "do your daily" is that the more demanded rewards almost has a requirement that it has to be the same repeated task every day every week for a month or longer. Just saying, if you want people to grind the event for a long time, at least mix up the tasks, dungeons or whatever you can think of.

As of now, i am pretty sure the most attended to events are x2 events, something we used to have every weekend with unlimited stamina by the way. I just mean to say say, you take away something we had, and sometimes give it back and brand it an event.
