April 8th 2009 - Easter 2009

[Den]

I was expecting a little carrot you could poke people with.

 

 

 

The color of the carrot is way off, should have been more orangey.

 

 

 

It was an ok event, I just wish the carrot was a better shade of orange.

[anonymous_user]

Kinda disappointed, the rubber chicken whack is no longer special :( .

 

Okay, the carrot isn't great and the event is unoriginal but at least we got an ownage new emote.

Wow this sucks

 

Rubber chicken was something special but now this is a bigger version which will seem better

 

Although obviously not

 

 

 

Wow, you know Jagex has hit rock bottom when they are nerfing old holiday items by bringing out new versions of the same old crap.

 

I really wish you people would make up your freaking minds! For the past week I've been reading post after post of "holiday drops suck" and "we need a new holiday weapon" and "I wish they would bring back the rubber chicken" and "holiday events are pointless". You're beginning to sound like a bunch of spoiled children arguing over who gets to sit next to the window for the drive to grandma's.

 

 

 

First, if you don't like the holiday events...DON'T DO THEM! Go and train or hunt or whatever jaded online gamers do while the other 90% of the community is doing the event, and stop clogging up the forums with your whining.

 

Second, Jagex gave a lot of you exactly what you were asking for, a new holiday weapon like the rubber chicken, and what do you do? You complain that it's not as good, or fun looking, or original. Do you also complain when someone gives you a present and it's the wrong shade of blue? Of course it's not as original! Any event weapon they brought out would be compared to the rubber chicken because it was first and the novelty of a weapon you can hit other players with has worn off.

 

 

 

Personally, I like the holiday events. I find them to be a fun diversion from the tedium of training. Are they challenging? No, of course not; they have to make them accessible to all players. Are the items useful? No, of course not; they're meant to be fun. When they make an actually useful item, anyone who didn't get a chance to get it will spend the rest of forever complaining about it (Easter Ring from '06 anyone?).

 

 

 

Jagex does not owe any of you anything! Stop sounding like you're entitled to some incredible *free* holiday drop.

 

 

 

Grumble...grumble...young whipersnappers...kids today...don't appreciate anything...not like it used to be...need lemonade...

[obfuscator]

I'll do it when I get home.

[Me_Hate_Libs]

Hey man don't quote me like I'm the one who complains about wanting more Holiday events and so forth. I personally thought they hit a really nice stride with ther f2p quests for 2 weeks or so. I thought that was a great idea.

 

 

 

Also, I'm a member so it isn't free.

 

 

 

And I'm 24. Hardly a kid.

I was merely using your post as an example. I apologize for implying that you were the only one complaining.

 

Also, I'm a member so it isn't free.

 

That doesn't change the fact that the holiday events are for everyone, F2P and P2P alike. Also, I didn't mean "free" like you didn't have to pay real money for it, but rather an item that required no in-game currency or even any real effort to obtain.

 

And I'm 24. Hardly a kid.

 

I didn't say you were a kid, merely that all of the complaining going on was making everyone sound like a bunch of children.

Not the only one complaining. I didn't complain about wanting more Holidays. I only wanted a Passover event cause I wanted a yarmulke/beanie to wear on my head. :thumbsup:

 

 

 

I thought the quest idea was brilliant. This event though... seriously? #-o

This. +1

 

 

 

If you don't like the event, don't do it. #-o

 

Leave the event for those of us, who think its a nice short break from the dulldrums of killing/skilling/questing.

 

I had not expectations for this easter event, so the carrot (although it looks like a deformed club) was alright, and the emote is pretty nifty =]

[yuriqiu]

I am boycotting the carrot in favor of my rubber chicken. The rubber chicken actually has a chicken dance. The giant carrot is just... a giant carrot...

[champion]

Hell, I think it's better than last year's cape.

[Albel]

Hell, I think it's better than last year's cape.

 

I have yet to do the event, but by the looks of it the carrot is better then the cape. Ah well... I'll do it when i get home.

[Althalus]

I think I speak for everyone who missed the rubber chicken event when I say the carrot is a welcome addition to the holiday items. I do agree that it could be more orange though. If I see any of you I'm going to whack you with my carrot.

[Omali]

The emote was the best part of this event. It's now possible to combine the easter ring with a few other emotes again.

[Myweponsg00d]

So is this a quest or not? :-k

 

 

 

Correct me if I am wrong but I thought all of the holiday updates were going to have small quests.

[samcowcow]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:oops: :oops:

[mervinator_9]

people complaining about how useless the new reward is annoy me so much, if you dont like how it looks fair enough but complaining about its uselessness is just stupid.

 

 

 

For one, when have we ever had any really useful hoilday items and two a few hoilday events ago they made an item which was designed to be useful and everyone just complained it wasnt useful enough. Granted the thing which held extra food was pretty lame but if the reward was any better it would be like giving new players something overpowered.

 

 

 

Seriously what to people want?

 

"Congratulations on completing the Easter hoilday event, you have been rewarded with the Easter Godsword" :roll:

[Me_Hate_Libs]

I love the two sides of this. I love how no one is saying how much they liked the event.

 

 

 

The two sides are:

 

 

 

1) People who thing the event totally sucked

 

 

 

2) People who think you can't complain about anything on this game no matter what cause it's "only pixels."

[Sid Icarus]

You can no longer get multiple easter rings. :x

[Den]

You can no longer get multiple easter rings. :x

 

 

 

Telegrab still works on them. :mrgreen:

[sohkmj1]

I liked it :thumbup: .

 

Except the menial tasks. But the reward was decent, especially the emote.

[Michael]

Nice short and easy event to do. Some past events have been quite tedious.

[Chained_life]

This update is probably as useful as any other content updates this year. So... Whatever. :D

[Omali]

Does the highscore look different to anyone?

[Yomyth105]

im not sure if i just lost interest in the game period which i have or this event just seems tedious and annoying. to my knowledge it is a holiday event meant for fun. by the looks of it, jagex did this overnight yesterday when they remembered they had to make such an update like this. It looks like something from last year and just no creativity. although the reward looks kinda cool, it just seems like a waste of time for me.

 

 

 

i just might skip this event...
