Hi.  I have done all dailies and the instance a few time now and must say my thoughts.But first, i will tell a bit about myself. i have been playing MMOs for over 15+ Years, and Been playing all the big once and some of the small once, im a PVE to the core i love lore and i love to raid.So about Shades Eve, this is WHAT i have been saying i wanted in a MMO for YEARS, the first part of shades where you run around in darkness, its so cool that you cant anything and mobs are attacking you in the dark, If you "carbine" could use this more in 5 mans or EVEN a raid where the hole raid should run around with flashlights, omfg i would cry like a little kid on xmas:D!  I must say this is the BEST holiday event i EVER have tried in a MMO, and the instance, is just too amazing.So Carbine, plz make more instances like this, and also some in the hollow theme, where it's Dark and scary. People love this so much :D!To people who havent tried this yet. GET HOME AN D TRY IT! YOU WILL LOVE IT!
 
Can say enough how cool this "darkness" is, plz make more of this PLZ!

This event is hands-down some of the best work I've seen.
 
The instance was way WAY too fun, and I am 100% with you on that forest part.  They MADE you get lost int he woods, confused, and terrified of all the creatures in the dark.  I ended up runnign into a graveyard and being totally lost before finally moving onto the next part.
 
The decorating is just.. WOW.  Most MMOs just slap a few pumpkins around the place and call it done.  Carbine just raised the bar by a TON.  I love how the cities are completely revamped to be all spooky and fun.  Just too cool.
 
And The trick-or-treating is a ton of fun too.  I love that they encourage going to look at other people's houses, and everyone working together to get stuff done.
 
Just A++++ on everything.  I can't wait to see how it progresses, and I'm STOKED to see what the x-mas event will be like.

Oh STOP IT!!!!
 
You sorry hookers are playing this awesome thing and I have to work another six hours!!!!
 
 :angry:
 
I hate you. I hate you all.

			Yeah, that instance that a large chunk of us can't get into is great ... true story.

			Don't forget Caydiem who helped make Shade's Eve the reality that it is will be on the wildstar twitch today at 11am pdt for a stream.

Don't fret.
 
The portal into the instance is busted and everyone is getting caught in a loop! SO THEY CAN'T PLAY EITHER!
 
MU-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Can I request something for next years Shade's Eve? Could you make like a instanced "battleground" where you have to run from Shadelings. If a player turns into a Shadeling, he has to find other players and sucessfully transform them.
Any players who survive long enough gets a reward. Sorta like a Hide'n'seek kinda thing. Should be pretty fun.

It's definitely up there among the best events I've witnessed. It's one of the most fleshed out events imo. The entirety of Illium is decorated. Almost no inches missed. 
There's a server wide event where you help build an Effigy to some grand purpose I've yet to find out. Love server wide efforts. 
 
The expedition is hands down the best in the game atm. Fully voiced, very well scripted, lots of fun and cool mechanics.

Lots of new cool decor. New pets, cool mount, costumes etc. It's a very well done event. Good job ya'll. I have high hopes for the Christmas event now.

If it was an instanced thing, that'd be awesome.
If it was just rampant in open areas...while it'd be fun...it'd remind me of that WoW pre-wotlk event with people turning into ghouls and eventually the main hubs where people hung out became (pardon the pun) ghost towns until it was over lol

This is sooo cool.  The instance is fantastic.  I do love the total dark and needing a flashlight, with limited use weapons/defenses.   I love that kind of thing.  DDO had Rainbow in the dark that used total darkness really well, but this had the whole creepy nightmare vibe to it.  Well done!
 
Best holiday event I have ever done!
 
Now I got me a hat but I am really eyeing that hoverboard.

No fun at all :(
 
Cant log at the game cos I am trapped in the portal... Hope it will be fixed soon.

I have only one question - why is there no official housing contest going on? I'd gladly visit some spooky plots :)
 
Maybe anyone with good english could start an unofficial one? :rolleyes: :wub:

The Shade's Eve event is indeed very good and a lot of fun.  Well done.
 
However...
 
The price points on the cash store items are terrible, alas.  Per character mounts, per character and per specific plug, one-use fabkits?  Seriously?  I know NCSoft has commanded, "Thou shalt make money", but this is "Thou shalt make them bleed every penny they have from every orifice."  It's looking as bad as Blade and Soul pricing, or worse.
 
Now: I completely understand that all of these purchases are voluntary, and so I will simply make none at all.  But really, CarbSoft, I think that you might have made far more money with reasonable pricing.  Make that Mount account-wide and I'll buy it without blinking.  Make the plugin an "infinite" unlock, so that it can be moved and replaced when destroyed, and likewise it becomes attractive.  As it stands, the items are going to be purchased only by those willing to throw away money, or so it seems.

			Update: There is now an official housing contest going on.http://www.wildstar-online.com/en/news/2015-10-19-jack-shades-house-of-haunts-contest/

			It really is awesome. I love touring the neighbor while trick or treating!	
----
			Great event, the cash shop is a scam. 20€ for a mount and on top of that you can only have it in one character. Hell no
