We have an entire zone that's basically dedicated to witches and you are telling me Blizzard couldn't do anything halloween related with that?
I have no words for this dev team.
It's like they have no soul or passion anymore; feels like they are just going through the motions.
Bingo. They lack passion and they are lacking creativity. They could have done so much with Drustavar. Maybe even added a new WITCH hallowsend boss. But nah why bother witth that when they can sit back and do nothing at all
Yeah, I mean why not a Drustvar event? There's so many witches and creepy wicker altars. Seems like the perfect environment for a Hallows End special event.
My guess is that if they intend to properly update Holiday events for a new expansion, they'd have to do it for all of them at once because there's no accounting for when the launch date is, which is an extra headache on top of everything else.
That said, updated Holiday events with stuff to do in new zones are a surefire method to getting people excited about current content, and it's a missed opportunity, especially with Drustvar and Nazmir full of spooky themes and all.
Meh ever since I got my horseman's mount to drop this holiday been old and dead might do it on an alt for the xp might not see how it goes.
With how blizzard is doing things, does this really come as a surprize? Pretty much on par with everything else thats going on.

So witches only exist because of Halloween?
Surprising none I am sure, I am quite happy with the new hearthstone. And I didn't get everything last year so I will work towards those too.
Working on the hearthstone. Some people expect to be WoWed by old holiday events. I have to laugh at that. As long as there is something new that is a worthwhile novelty, that about meets my expectations for the old holiday events. It would be lame to Cata the old events.
If I get the mount I won't care. Probably 20 attempts a day if I have time.

What needs to be explained?
This can't new.......HOW HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS BEFORE!!!
Gold. Pure gold.
The game is feeling more and more like, "hey grind this stuff so you stay subbed more time" rather than "hey take this so you can have fun".
Holidays are such a wasted opportunity that they exploited nicely with achievements, but then let them to rot.
It is incredible as in almost all MMOs they deliver a complete costume with Halloween theme and here it only gives you objects for the head... repeated.
They could already put a complete armor of the Headless Horseman, instead of just his helmet.
If 'they update stuff not in the same year as release' , then maybe there is hope for some cool Drustvar Halloween stuff next year. That first town that is initially cursed where nobody moves is perfect for it. And Arom's Stand I think is perfect for Winterveil stuff too.

I don't believe that they've ever done this in the past, e.g. the minion of grumpus was added in 6.2, not WoD's launch. Next Hallow's Eve we should see decorations in BfA zones.
That is silly. They could have put it in for this year. I mean, what else are they so busy doing???
I dunno, working on a brand-new expansion, perhaps?
The lack jack o' lanterns in Drustvar for a year isn't a game-breaker.
I got the HH helm on my lock and went to DE it but all it gave her was 5 brilliant shards... GG blizzard! a 335 helm gives old mats...

You got your mog on. You need to head over to my post! it's nice to see i'm not the only one that does this!
Wooooo! lots of you have the spirit!
Seems like like low rewards I usually spam the headless horseman with alts because most of my alts can get upgrades. Now the only one that needed it just hit 120 2 days ago (and I only played 3 hours without dungeons to get to ilvl 324).
I'm really disappointed in what they have could have done with updating Hallow's End for this year considering everything with Drustvar and Kul Tiran culture.
However they really don't update the holidays much anymore minus adding a few toys or pets as a kind of piecemeal offering.
Especially with what just happened to the undead/Undercity, I think it'd be really cool to involve a bit more lore-related quests/etc. to the event. Aside from Hallow's End being an obvious reference to Halloween, there's actually lore regarding it, which doesn't seem to be referenced too much in the event itself, aside from "haha witches brooms pumpkins candy"
I don't even know if they reference the Horseman's lore either
