Halloween: Another let-down?

It will suit my scythe.

J'adore aussi le sexe et les snuff movies

Je trouve que ce sont des purs moments de vie

Je ne me reconnais plus dans les gens

Je suis juste un cas désespérant

Et comme personne ne viendra me réclamer

Je terminerai comme un objet retrouvé

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.

 

 

 

yes the broom would of been good but i voted for that cape swirl emote as it sounded evil :twisted:

 

 

 

I can already forsee kids playing quiddich with gnome balls. :XD:

I am also really envious of the bunny ears and scythes people wear. I think that every individual should CHOOSE what he/she wants to get instead of jagex making something new every year unless the majority agrees.

 

 

 

erm... no :P

 

people with scythes and bunny ears show off that they have been playing for such a long time

 

masks and party hats can just be bought but scythes and ears are actually proof

 

 

 

and i wouldnt want anyone else to get a scythe or bunny ears cause they r the shz :D

 

As much as I would really like scythe and bunny ears, I agree that they shouldn't allow them to be gotten by anyone else. Otherwise they would lose their special-ness.

 

 

 

Who the heck wanted "A hood"

 

 

 

LAME F2PERS

 

FYI it was a mem only poll... (it was on the runescape forums) I would have voted for the broom or brooch but if we got all three they would look sweet together ^-^

 

Actually, I'm pretty sure it was F2P as well. Can't tell from the archive, but it did get 265,000 votes as opposed to ~100,000 for most other polls. I'm sure I voted in it ... can't remember what for though. :?

WARNING: Prone to ramble ... but you probably already know that!

it was a members one, and the reason it hot a lot of voted because many members care about that kind of poll compared to the other semi-useless one

I'm looking forward to this update. I'm sure it'll be very fun trying to get the item. I personally would rather wear my santa than the hood.

 

 

 

But since I'm f2p, and f2p doesn't have any hoods, this is stiil pretty good :).

I don't even see why people really wanted the broom so bad in the first place. Its not like you would be able to use it to fly from place to place. More likely than not, all it would be would be a wieldable item that gives you an emote (like the rubber chicken.)

 

 

 

I'm not saying I wanted the hood, I voted for the bone broach myself. However I seriously doubt the Reaper Hood is just going to be a plain, black hood. I'm guessing it will look something like the Void hood, but darker and rattier looking. Possibly also obscuring your face or making it look like a skull. However, it being a unique looking item creates the obvious problem of it not going with many other outfits. However i'm sure that Jagex will think of something, they haven't come up with anything yet that i've been against.

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.

 

 

 

Party hats are useless.

 

Halloween masks are useless.

 

Why didn't you mention that?

party hats arent useless. :D they can be wield for a nice head gear. even tho it dosent have any stat bonuses. but it still has a use. an item with out any use at all would be useless :D

I don't know why you some people look down on holiday items, if you hate them so much just don't do the event.

I personally would rather wear my santa than the hood.

 

Of course you would. You wouldn't wear a item that f2pers would be seen wearing everywhere. A santa hat after all is more expensive. :P

 

 

 

I chose the hood myself. :oops:

 

I wish I could of voted for the broom now. -.-

No longer playing Runescape, I caught the WoW bug.

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......

 

 

 

Non members voted :s

 

 

 

only members could vote....

 

 

 

EDIT: nvm some people already mentioned it :P

Fighterman_X.png

we voted on what we wanted, but personally this and all holiday events will never be the same :(

Most likely will just be another item that i'll just wear for a day or so, then after seeing approximately 438,295 people wearing it i'll stow it in my costume room, where all of my other doomed items go.

 

 

 

I wish they'd actually think about the updates before they pump them out dissapointing huge amounts of people. I joined about a year ago and can safely say the holiday updates i've whitnessed are horrible. The only thing that I "use" is, oddly enough, the wintumber tree.

True, the previous holidays weren't who knows what, but I think a lot of Freeplayers, including myself, are pretty excited since this year it's going to a headgear that most haven't even unless unless someone with a skill cape and hood goes to a F2P area.

What's the point of hopping like a bunny if you're dressed like a chicken?

That gives me an idea! We should get a bunny suit. Only problem is without ears it would look unfinished. Then again also without the emote it would be useless unless it looked preety nice.

Get me a whopper!

well it will be good for emo's and goths who like grim reapers? :P but i would still like the hood :)

I think i'll have to start paying Diango to wear all that useless stuff for me.

 

 

 

MAKE SOMETHING GOOD. I know it's free, blabla and some were good, blabla. The good things were: Santas, Green masks, Phats, Easter ring and Rubber chicken in howmuch years? :?

 

Diango is walking around in a skeleton suit? I did not know!

 

Also: F2p did not vote -.- . I tried, did not work.

 

Brooch ftw!

 

I missed the easter ring by a month -.- .

It's always going to be a letdown if we let our hopes, dreams and aspirations of what something that is not yet released get the better of us.

 

 

 

Seriously, we actually know the event. We know what's going to happen, and we know what the reward is. We even voted for it. How could you be let down about something like that?

 

 

 

Don't get your hopes up. The update goes underappreciated when people float on Cloud Nine and believe that what they "predict" is to be true.
