What I liked
- The instance was a lot better than I'd ever expect out of an mmo for a holiday event. Great job here. I was able to solo it and it kept me interested.
 
- The trick or treat quest. This was a home run. With the game's surge of new players since F2P, this has got a lot of people communicating and that's fantastic!
 
- The decorations in the main city were absolutely above expectations. So much work put into it! Good atmosphere too!
 
What I didn't like
 
- Some of the quests in the main city were kind of rough due to population. Competing with lag and other players to tag the event targets for over an hour was a bit of a bummer (but I'm not super upset at this either).
 
- Apparently many reports exist from players crashing out of the instance load screen (probably due to overly populated primary city).
 
What I would have liked to see
 
- Cash shop entries holding Halloween limited time offer vanity. Perfect opportunity, imo (maybe this is still in the works?). Free money on the table here.
 
Overall impressions
 
Positive. I didn't expect much, but got way more than I could have even hoped for. Well done, devs!

			Their scaling math NEEDS desperate work.  Tried it as a level 16 and was getting 2 shotted.  It's great that we have the opportunity to see the new quests and what not, but they seem to forget that we can't even get ahold of level 50 potions, because I have yet to see a % health potion, much less amps, some abilities aren't even unlocked, and we're in green gear.  Don't get me wrong, it's beautiful, I had fun with it, but it's near impossible to play when you can do nothing but kite, they reset, kite and pull more mobs that also 2 or 3 shot you.  It's just stupid.  Would I enjoy this as a level 50 with good gear, sure!  Would I enjoy dying over and over because their telegraph takes up the whole hallway and there's literally no where else to go, no.  Can't heal through it, even if your class has heals.  Can't drink a potion that's more than 1-5% of your HP, can't even eat food that will regen you faster... Huge oversight to all the new F2P players imo.  I really want to enjoy it and play them all, it looks great, story is fun, but it's too dang close to unplayable!

			Well I solod it on my low level alt, but I was a dps engineer so I guess I had it pretty easy. Sorry to hear about the troubles :(

Can't enter the instance on any of my characters, stuck in eternal loading screen. Tried the "fix" someone came up with but it still doesn't work.
 
Throwing eggs at hooligans was a nightmare. Nowhere near enough spawn for the amount of people trying to do it and the respawn timer is far too long. That was for both Thayd and Illium.
 
Jumping through the sparkly things to collect them, nowhere near enough of them for the amount of people trying to do it.
 
Candy collecting. Need to have a way of seeing which ones you have picked up, it was frustrating as hell hopping around plots trying to find which one I didn't have when I got stuck at 87%.
 
Considering the egg and sparkly collections take place in Thayd, there was more frustration on top of an already frustrating task due to lag.
 
All in all I don't like the event. I can't do the main part of it which renders it pretty pointless. Considering you need a boat load of candies for the hoverboard and I can only get 25 a day. It was poorly planned and very poorly executed. This following a prestige event that quite a few people couldn't take part in due to the amount of lag still going around.
 
I was looking forward to this event a hell of a lot. I really wanted all the costume items, the hoverboard and some of the decor but i'm already frustrated with the whole thing after only a few hours.
 
I want to love this game. I want this to be my main MMO, the game I play alongside my single player games. You are making it really hard for me though, Carbine. I don't want to give up again, I did that last year, I want to stick around but you seem to be doing your best to push me away.

Yikes it seems like after I finished my rounds for the day everyone hit bottlenecks on that instance :(
 
So sorry you guys had to deal with that! I'll add it to the feedback.

Do you guys happen to know if you do the instance more than once on the same character, do you get more pumpkin currency? Or is it a once daily thing for the currency?

I think the currency is the quest reward for the instance, but I'm not 100% positive off the top of my head...and won't be able to login and check till after work today (stinking adult responsibilities)..
 
As for difficulty, when I ran it on beta.. I'd forgotten to replace all of my deprecated gear.. so I was missing slots.. it was till doable.. but totally took WAY longer than it probably should have... lots of stopping to heal, etc..

for the candy stuff I just wrote down which one I got on paper (I have heart for anyone on enity 1) I was able to get the daily ones done...not sure why it took long for you Gomly was able to get the npc and the will of fire to come back quick even with many people doing it just took bit of time. (had stream that too) 
the instance...I would like to see it my char was stuck and then I think got booted by the game so I am out of the screen but fear going back in to try :(
