fighterhwk Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Last year's Halloween items weren't that great: a skeleton suit that most people threw out. Christmas was also a drag for the majority, for it was a useless reindeer hat, that didn't look too great. Easter this year gave us a chicken suit, which was utterly useless. Do you believe that this year Jagex will make the Halloween event actually good (like the Easter event where you got the ring as the reward)? Or will it just be like the past few holiday events? :? P.S. These are my opinions on the items, no need to flame me for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuit Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 well seen as the update was voted for my f2p it might be bad as members allready have serival hoods to choose from but only time will tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Observer Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I, myself am looking forward to it. Why you may ask? F2P is getting their first EVER hood! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbington Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Well it was 100% players choice through the poll so if the reward is bad it is the majority of player who voted for it's fault...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klankaos Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I think it's a probability, Jagex just haven't been doing well IMO with holiday items. I liked the easter ring, and that's the last one that was honestly interesting at all. I don't even have them in my bank - I can get them back from Diango if need be. Hopefully, we get an item you can have some fun with. Perhaps last easter's attempt (changing the flap emote) was a shot at this, albeit a pathetic one. Being immature is a part of being mature.

TeeBeaun Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Its a free item, what do you have to complain about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fighterhwk Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 I agree, the Easter ring was a nice holiday item (basically a poor man's ring of stone). I actually take that out and use it once in a while, just to sit in a bank and chat. Every holiday item after that I've thrown away, and never bothered to get back.

Enipeus Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 eh, I think holiday events are getting useless, every holiday event 90+% of all active runescapers get that item so its not unique at all (especially with the one million+ players now), until maybe years later.. I still think theyre fun and make runescape very less boring, but all the work jagex puts into them for a one-time thing (a whole haunted house! :o) it could have been a permanent update.

The_Gabe Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Its a free item, what do you have to complain about? +1. and nice one as well. :wink: Three months banishment to 9gag is something i would never wish upon anybody, not even my worst enemy.

mr_invisable Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 The holiday items i like are all the 2005 christmas hats and the 2006 easter ring. After that nothing special has come. Im putting my money on that the grim reaper hood will be 100% same as the slayer hood. I wish the broom had won, would be cool to fly around. :mrgreen: The grim reaper mansion and the new emote should be good tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benx53 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 They should have two rewards for holidays. One that's easy to get and everyone can do it, and another one where the reward is cooler but much harder to get. They did something like this, but only for members, which obviously is another way to get more member because 2 million or so isnt enough. Because the chicken suit would have seemed cooler if not every had one. Signatures are useless. That's why I have one.Average level 49.13 going for 50!

hybrid2hell Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Yeah, that would be really cool if there was an item that everyone could get fairly easily, and an item that was a little harder, so maybe only more experienced players could get it. Idk what to expect, i just hope its good I engineered this thread with precise variables that I know would cause lul-worthy flames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovecuttingyews Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I am not entirly sure what the poll results for the event were, but they all seemed like fun. And the winner of the clothing was the hood which should look good, but jagex somehow finds a way to make many things look bad. :wall: *hopes for a dark black hood like the slayer cape* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fighterhwk Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 Well...the house seems to be pretty exciting, with the traps and all. However, I'm not quite sure how I feel about the hood...seems too ordinary/bland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrington Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I really wish Jagex wouldn't waste precious development time on pointless and temporary updates such as Halloween and Easter. I can understand Xmas, but that's enough. I want Jagex to concentrate on permanent and worthwhile updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorLepRecon Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I dont see why you guys complain about the holiday items. You didn't pay for them, so why complain you dont like them. I'm wearing my skull suit for the rest of the month, just cause it's close to halloween. The hood will be cool, but i wanted the bone pendant so I could turn into a pile of bones. The emote is gonna be cool, so atleast that one won. Forum Updates & Suggestions <------ Let your voice be heard!Forum Games <------- Coolest place on Tip.ItTip.It Forum Rules <------- Read them!

Aquashock Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Why are you people preparing to complain on an update thats not even coming out for another week? There are plenty games that don't get updates for holidays, just be happy you have something new to play with :roll: ^^Click For Monster Hunting Blog (180M+ in drops)^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schmuall Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Why are you people preparing to complain on an update thats not even coming out for another week? I actually loled. give F2P a penny and they want a dime; give P2P a quarter, they want 100,000 dollars, your car, house, boat, social security number, credit card numbers, drivers license, clothes on your back and everything you ever owned or interacted with ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aneron Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 It sounds a lot better than recent holiday updates, but the hood really wasn't my top choice :| Guess we'll find out next week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randox Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Well it was 100% players choice through the poll so if the reward is bad it is the majority of player who voted for it's fault...... Read my last commentation in teh gielinor tribune. The majority of players did NOT vote for the winning selection in each of the 3 catagories. The catagories that won may have had the most votes, but not one of them got over 45%. So all in all the majority of players are dissapointed about at least one of the 3 catagories.
