Halloween Update Discussion

Iovai

I crash everytime I get near an area with several groups of zombies, anyone else having this problem?

**Denary**

it's to do with certain CPU's

hang in their the dev team are tryin to sort it out atm

Yeah, I'm having the same problems with the client crashing .... it appears that anytime I see a zombie I crash. I then try to jack in and auto-jackin to the spot where I crash and oopsie theres a zombie in the area and I automatically crash. I tried HJ'ing away but I crash in midair .... this sucks when all you want is some masks.

they gettin a patch out by the weekend we hope so just collect masks from jack-o-lanterns

**Bayamos**

I am very upset with these jackolanterns.. the boxes disappear when you open them once, regardless of whether you take the stuff.

I've been farming the ENTIRE day for a Tengu mask. I finally got one and my inventory was full. I deleted an item and went to reopen the box and it had disappeared... I'm not really enjoying the patch anymore where I have to farm endlessly and not even have a decent shot at getting a rare item. I didn't get Gargoyle last year because of similar issues.. sigh.

Loving Halloween Walrus.....still cant find Tengu grrrr

MC Roadkill

Almost have em all, but i cant seem to get the Succubus and gargoyle

Hmmm SMILEY

**bannanaphone**

i loves me halloween patch ^_^

but i've already gotten all masks, even the rare ones, within one night of the event SMILEY

and if anyone was in camon c on recursion the night the event started, you have a reason to hate me, as i ninja looted the assasin mask from one of you ^^

i also noticed that the pumpkins are kinda buggy.
sometimes they dont spawn the lupines(or whatever)...

if im a zombie...do they spawn?
and if im fighting zombies they also dont spawn.?!

Really strange/annoying

**Tzah**

The crashes are nothing to do with having a certain type of cpu,,,, what its down to is the low quality servers that soe run mxo on, its amazing that for one of, if not the highest priced monthly tags for any mmo out there that we are subject to lowend servers... before som1 says station pass i dont hav it only mxo coz the rest of the games quite frankly are crap imo...

There are other spawns of lanterns/zombies in other parts of megacity which I have found I do not crash there,,, only the main populated (busy) spots seem to be the crash party spots.... e.g. camon park furihata being like instant crash zones for me...

but seeing as i`ve found a couple non-crash spots I now have every mask except the assassin one, i have some 40+ of each balthail, Tm, warrior and Etheral,, a whopping 16 hours fighting zombies and still no assassin mask.

I thought events were supposed to be fun? (ooo grind grind grind, sound familiar?)

**ZippyTheSquirrel**

Why you gotta sneak up on me with that sploit fix, you crafty blubbery mammal? SMILEY

Fine! Whatever. I'll go find me a new one. Yeah, and I'll use it ten times better! Cuz I don't need the other one! Yeah...no, I fixed it, that's right, because I didn't need it! At all! T_T

Just what exactly is the drop rate for a "rare" mask? With over 100 masks from the Zombies and not one "rare" mask to show for it, it's getting a little tedious. Perhaps next year all masks could just be "common" ones. Would certainly make things feel more fun. Farming for stuff is great for a few hours, but it soon gets old. These events are exceedingly few and far between, so why not just concentrate on making them fun and removing the need for creating a feeling of boredom in the form of endless farming to get a desirable mask? Other than that, some nice elements in this years version, Zombies are certainly fun to fight - although waits between spawns are too long (yeah, I know, bring more meat for faster spawns, but what of us on connections that lag out real bad when too many people are around?)

Having only common masks and one really rare mask that is impossible to get would be nice.

**Tzah**

What would be really nice is if they done the same thing as they done in the blue sky event,, where we received a seperate critical mission at the end of the event which gained us a box of sumthin, (cant remember lol) that we could trade for one of the blue sky event items be it the blue sky/security hats/tops.....

At least then everyone will be guaranteed to be able to get that one special mask they wanted....

again crashes are not in my opinion cpu or client related i think they are very much still down to region servers not being able to handle the amount of connections required therefor causing a crash.... I crash in some places but not in others (eg. diferent region server)

Huh. I've heard they were dropping like flies (pardon the pun) on Recursion. Maybe people were over-confident. Hm.
