Like the idea of this!

Would it be possible to some how fuse the art of a pumpkin and corpser to transform the player into a pumpkin monstrosity?

maybe freeze them on the spot in this form but also make them invunerable so more of just LOL moment than royally screwed? Maybe still have ability to heal oneself ready to run away?

I think people enjoy the idea of special mobs, but the frustration comes from the fact that their drops aren't really special and definitely aren't in proportion to how hard they are to kill.

Actual quote from a new player today: "I will trade my right kidney for these halloween things to dissapear? Any takers?"

My two cents: keep it simple and keep the holiday mobs tough, just have them drop more statues and chests to make the effort more worthwhile.

I think the problem with making them drop more statues and chests, is that level 7 meta-tamers, tear through these like they are nothing, some will kill 500 of these a night.. Make their gold proportionate to what you are killing, so it's not wasted time, but upping the chests / statues, will just cause the market to fall out from under those items, and right now @Decoy is willing to pay hundreds of thousands for hallowe'en statues...

Now this is being creative! Why not make the event fancy, provide some additional fun to the whole thing. Adding extra drops and whatnot is just meeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, we have seen that and done that so many times and its just a quick fix which as AreYouKidden has said, will only benefit the few in the long run.

Fully understandable that extra work would needed to be put into it but hey, always next year.

Invuln pumpkins for 30 seconds would be quite funny to see.. and when you can move again, having a group of PK's waiting around you even funnier! :)

That would be amazing!!!

Blue = pumpkins
Grey = Ghost statue
Red = Candy Cane stick............... just kidding Red = Bloody skeleton.

how much fun would it be if it was a dual random effect...

invuln
locked in place
aoe damager
extra damage against hallowe'en mobs
health/stam/mana fill
life drain

lasts 30 seconds, two are applied to you.. talk about quirky fun...

Rewards could probably be looked at, none the less people enjoy it more so than not. It's something new, a change, shift etc. I think it's kind of cool that destard turns into a hell zone for 30 or so days. It's not permanent, just something that switches things up and that is a positive thing over-all.

While you might not like it being that you are a veteran since 2013, new players that have joined recently have been pleasantly surprised by the new mobs. They like it, just like you did when we first implemented it too :p
Don't forget about the thousand+ others that log in every week here!

With that said, we could probably look at the halloween+paragon fire breath damage on dragons, but again i dunno- It's kind of a fun gamble for 30 days too, you know? I dunno.

The loot is shit tbh.. They should have 2x gold at least.. Paragons are easier to kill and give more loot..

@Shane

Idea for loot upgrade... Dragon scales that match the monsters hue!
Click to expand...

I like this! Or resources in general. Matching hue ingot, leather, scale, wood, etc.

Or if it's tedious to code maybe a chance to drop a dye tub with 1 charge, for any armor type (plate,leather, scale, etc.)

Too hot for some it seems..

So lets make it complicated, fire breath remains but instead of barbecuing people on the spot, perhaps add a random effect be that negative or just down right humorous such as :

Turning someone into a random creature.
Turning someone into a random monster.
Teleport randomly.
Most negative effects such as feeble mind etc.
Paralyse.
Dismount.
Poisoned.
Change colour.
Change gender.
Change name.

To name just a few. The above effects would only be of a temporary nature and the effects from changing the player into a monster/creature, any slayer effects would not apply.

Any extra flavour to party-on-up this tried and tested but boredom infused gig. Throwing extra shiny's at it without the addition of some delightful sparkles and unpredictable characteristics of these new and improved terminator style, Sosarian Halloween hell spawn will just bring about more 'meh' factor. I know its a lot of work and there are many other things which rate higher on the to-do list but maybe for future events.

The solution lately is always about surgically implementing ATM machines *no pin or debit card needed* into monsters or give them each a litre of trenbolone acetate to form the illusion of difficulty. UOForever was always successful with its creativity, not just in the world of PVP, but also the world of PVE, I am sure the Gods will click some of their many fingers and bring forth the desirable for us all to get aroused by once more, if not sooner but perhaps later.
