I left this game about 3 times, and well from time to time i return to play - can't say that it is an ideal game - still it is possible to have some fun in it. Such dull events frustrating - still i do understand why they made it so. Another good marketing way to get money - players got ability to get very costly cards with "small" amount of feez.
Actually I quite like this event. Much better than the pirate/battleship one they did(seriously did you even take into account how many players you have before you put that 'game wide' reward in?!?).
Only problem I have with is the numbers, namely the Red skulls. Yes they give you the best cards and should cost the most. But..., when the Red skulls are extremely hard to get outside of paying, that's when I get a little upset. They just extended the amount of play time one needs to do to get them. Or *ch-ching* make us pay for them. Personally I would have liked a way to maybe exchange the lower tier masks for red ones. Granted they would have to do something about the masks earned from booster packs.
Again, decent event if having the numbers a tad off when compared to the ease of access to reds. At least to non paying players.
Well, I disagree with the general sentiment. I think this is one of the worst events I've seen. There are NO NEW cards (i.e. no new event cards) to earn. Last Halloween you could earn the white witch and/or the black witch. How awesome were those cards. This year - no new cards. (I don't consider new 'skins' on existing cards to be introducing new cards.)
So this year is an opportunity to get cards from the regular set and one gold event card up for auction every 8 hours. If you're going to have event cards up for auction, they should put up a gold, silver, AND bronze event card with every 8 hour auction set. Then you don't have to have THE MOST red ghosts in the entire Eredan Universe in order to get a card since there will be two lower-level options on the board along with each gold-level one. I actually don't like the whole auction format at all. One person gets one copy of each auctioned card in the entire Eredan Universe? How lame. And what happens when someone snipes you on the last auction... poof - all your ghost masks that you spent days slaving over to earn just vanish as the become a worthless currency the day the event ends.
Instead of an auction, they should have a rotating inventory STORE. List their random cards for each ghost mask color but list a SET PRICE for each. Then ANYONE who wants to buy at that price automatically BUYS it, not put in a bid that may or may not get outbid.
The other point I've posted elsewhere for other events, it to create a standard event currency so that at the end of the event if you ALMOST had enough to buy something but didn't quite make it the currency would CARRY OVER to the next event. That way people who worked hard to accumulate event currency don't lose everything if they come up short. They at least get a head start when the next event comes along. This would encourage more people to participate in the event and not give up right from the start because they know they can't commit the time needed to earn that particular events prize threshold.
