Add a candy cane keeper outside the chalet door in Pocket D once its closed. I'm sure there will be more people wanting to redeem thier canes after the event.

There is a person to turn in haloween salvage all year long, please put someone, somewhere, where we can turn in canes for those of us that missed out on doing so. Especially for the badges/costume parts.

No, I don't "need" these things.
I want to. These are "shinies". They are incentives, meant to encourage us to play, meant to enhance the play experience.

[/ QUOTE ]

I fail to understand why the availability of those optional "shinies" needs to be dumbed down to make it easier for you to acquire them en masse without investing much time. You just stated a pretty good case for leaving the difficulty to get them right where it is.

[/ QUOTE ]

Dumbed down? If mindlessly clicking on presents gives you a sense of accomplishment, you might have problems. Removing tedium is not dumbing down anything, it is improving the game.

Lots of 50's yada yada. still finding fun things to do.

Firstly, WAY over-simplified. Everyone is either an easy-going player or an exploiting weasel, eh?
Secondly, you're not describing two types of players, you're describing two extremes on a spectrum.

[/ QUOTE ]

I will own up to this being WAY over simplified. I couldn't think of breaking it down the way I wanted to in such a rushed amount of time, someone was breathing down my neck as I was writing that.

Someone actually told me that you can technically break games down into four "suits" (like the cards in a deck) but I forgot the exact composition of it.

[ QUOTE ]
The IO set should be hard to get, farming 24 times isn't hard but is a bit tedious when it's the same mission over and over and over. ((Hint Hint: Add other missions...))

[/ QUOTE ]
Or even have ANY mission during the winter event drop a single candy cane (or two).

[/ QUOTE ]

Or include it in the random wheels for the cost of 1 Merit. (Technically it can count as a large inspiration *shrugs*)

And if I can, I'd edit that "is a bit tedious" to it is tedious.

Costume Pieces - New Costume Pieces would be nice (Fur lined skirts, maybe gloves/boots that are fur lined but don't have that buckle on them, maybe a Snow Man head similar to the Pumpkin Head from Halloween.)

[/ QUOTE ]

Agreed, especially for female characters. The boots especially are way to masculine for my characters to want to wear. How about something like this.

Kinetic_Kitten · 01-06-2009 04:41 PM

Why don't we freeze the zones anymore, that's all I want for next Winter Event, freeze the zones again!

...and did I say /signed?

The girls of The Flying Stilettos Sorority just can not attend all the festive parties in those clunky-heel monstrosities.

I mean, how hard would it be to code a fur lining around the already available stilettos leather knee boot? (Okay, the code for the second colour might be a bit more tricky.)

People have been asking why the winter beasts couldn't also drop random candy canes on defeat. I think this would be a great idea, and actually deal with a number of problems:

1.
This will reduce the amount of complaints of wayward Frostlings wandering around for low-level toons to run into as high-level toons will now have a reason to deal with them even after having obtained the defeat badge.

2.
A greater number of canes would more than likely lead to a lowering of prices on the market, as more canes available mean fewer players paying outlandish prices to get more canes then they can get with 2+ hours of present opening.

3.
I can understand that the 'Scrooge-like' aspect of canes was probably in an attempt to block another farming attempt from the RMT'ers - but who is to say that they wern't farming the BNY mishs anyways? This can be eliviated by the increase in cane drops.

In addition, could we please have it so that all members of the team gets the cane, not just whomever opened the present? I belive that this would lead to more Winter Lord teams throughout the zones. (As opposed to several in AP, along with the lone one I was on in KR.)

I thought it was already common sense that rewards are shared on all teammates in a zone.

Though I had to learn the truth when the first Cane hunting party died in 5 minutes.

Guess I should have posted this here. Sorry about that.

Put BNY in a baby carrier on our back or front cuz he is ALWAYS getting stuck/lost merges into walls, doorway etc let us CARRY him = SO MUCH BETTER!!

The only way he gets stuck is if you run to the exit without him. I've done this mish hundreds of time and he's never gotten stuck. Turn off your travel power and he'll be just fine.

I've found that even so, he still gets stuck. When my connection spikes I seem to lose him. When that happens, I don't get his "always forgetting about the time" dialogue.

Having to run him back to the entrance is a real time drain. Maybe that is the point?

Incidentally BoyScout, just because he has never gotten stuck for you does not mean he doesn't get stuck for other people. You have been lucky. I have also done this mish hundreds of times for 3 years now....I turn off my travel powers, do not use stealth and sometimes he still gets lost or stuck. Many times he got lost going out the cave door....nothing I did wrong or could have changed but he was lost still the same and the only recovery was to reset the mission. This has been a problem for 3 years now and really should be fixed.
