Title.
My thoughts for next year’s hallows end event. Also if anyone somehow DOESN’T have three sinister squashling pets already, they’re going for like two gold on Daggerspine right now lmao. Since it seems like the damn things drop every single time you kill the horseman lol.
I’d settle for them not lying to their playerbase telling us the curses added extra drop chance to us getting things like Arfus, the dragon saddle, and the reins (despite I’ve had the reins for the horse at least 13 years now). I beat him with all four curses active and I got nothing of real value. Literally a small amount of currency and a ugly human mask

So. This will sound weird. I had better luck without curses.

I have to say the same. After the first pull I decided to run some alts with and some without curses.

I didn’t have luck either way. About the same as every year. I got squat.

You’ll get it next year and then we won’t see you post this complaint and say everything is fine.
Someone else will take your place.
No Arfus, no saddle, got the mount about 5 years ago after about 10 years of trying…
I still have about 15 sinister squashlings left after all the ones I deleted. Deleted well over 200 pumpkin heads, at least 1-2 masks and wands from each of my 75 (that’s how many Rarity said) runs and enough candy to fill the ocean.
They did add extra rates. By the end of the event I finished with 3 Arfus (the last one dropped yesterday 1hour before event ended) 1 HH and zero dr glyphs. So I believe both first drop of the day and curses increased rate still, I didnt get what I wamted which is the glyph. Oh well
All we had is there word thats not hard facts and data sheets that the Affixes actually worked in increasing drop rates.
All they said is it did but not actual hard data to back up that claim. Sub 1% drop rate is not good design for time limited events. Which is why 99% of everyone who played suggested purchasing it with the dropped candy and candy buckets.
If I wanted to play the slots i’d go to the Casino and play a slot machine. Then go home 1000 dollars poorer for losing each roll. This is why RNG is not a rewarding experience cause your counting on LUCK alone for content.
I realize RNG is a part of RPG games but only if it is designed right and it made sense. Having to spin a slot machine 200,000+ times to get a reward is not a idea of rewarding content. That belongs in a casino not in a MMORPG game.

In their defense, we ve had ultra rare drops from world events for over a decade and we have farmed these items for years. I bet they have some metric that shows lots now have HH mount so they introduced a newer ultrarare drop to keep participation up.
Now if Arfus was sold for 1000 candy I am sure there would be a lot of people complaining about having to farm and waste time in an event they dont wanna tske part in. They cant reallt make everyone happy.
Considering they introduced the first a day increased drop, there is clearly an effort to aliviate the years long farm. When they first added that bonus with love is in the air mount I saw daily guildies getting the rocket and yet I didnt get it. Now I did get HH mount and Arfus. So the cycle goes.
I did my first kill of the day with all four curses and it gave me diddly so I’m not convinced. Everyone has their own sense of luck though and I guess mine is just poor are Coren Direbrew during Brewfest gave me nothing but tokens too
I was sad about not getting the saddle, but the day of the dead one is much better. So I’m placated.
