Halloween Event Winners

[aeromaximus]

...well here are my comments...
I have been around RO for about... 3 years or something.. barely I play it because of my personal responsabilities... I have the same character since I started.. it has beed sooooo difficult to me to make time and play with it.... ..... but.... why I keep playing?... its because... peolple like Seiren,Kitteh,Boreas.. and the rest of the GM makes the experience of this game beyond only a Videogame.. it becomes more of a community... where you can share.... compete.... and of course have a great time making your character grow between the rest of all of the members..... there are times when I get blue because im not making enough exp or zeny.... but thats the thing!!! this is not only a game!!!... so.. that is why there are exceptional challenges like the Halloween one!!... maaaan!!! I really wanted to win an "rank A card" but I couldnt.. too sad... but... I reeeeeeeaaaallllyyyy enjoyed making that pumpkin with my cousin.... those are the things that keep me here.... the game is great you the MEMBERS are the best!!.... and I mean everyone... and thx to the GMs for squishing your brains... and coming out with such great events... I like them a lot....  for me you are all doing a great job.. keep on going !! ..... I have been playing more this game here in TalonRo than the time I have with my girlfriend hahahahaha !!!!!....

That's what you get for being elitist douches and trying to farm with 4-6 people.  The prizes are fine and the event was great...suckers.

[GM Ires]

I would just like to say few things:

1. The competition was setup so top 3 rankers will get the same prize, and this fact was clearly stated. THEREFORE, expecting the same prize as last year where players assumed 1st place would get more than 2nd/3rd is illogical. This year's setup obviously leaves room for lot less 'heated' competition, as 1st place could have farmed 2000, while 2nd/3rd could have gotten 100/50 (long as 4th got less) and still won the same prizes. The decision to spend extraordinary amount of time into farming, even knowing this setup was upto each player/team.

2. It was quite difficult to think of a prize that would please both single and party based teams. Unfortunately, everyone has different team sizes, so giving like "name prize" to each of your party members would make it impossible to give that prize. We decided to give 1 instead of just none. For other prizes, we could have given more of things that are lesser value, but what really is there that is decently 'mouth-watering' that can be given in multiples? If you would have preferred 3 valk armors over the 1 diablo robe, i suggest you sell the diablo robe and buy 3 valk armors. I do apologize that in fact lvl3 was party friendly but the prizes werent. However, lot of team competition is unfortunately set this way, and they get 1 prize/trophy. We could have given everyone a custom pet to serve as a "gold medal", but no reasonable way to track who was really part of your party, how long they helped, and etc. If you have suggestions on how rewards could be done in such a situation, please send me a PM.

3. I think the rewards for the honeycomb was lot more 'rewarding' because it was more about tactics than about how much time spent. Time spent is a good competitive factor, but because it has a linear relationship with a player's expectation of how good a prize may be, it is bit troublesome. If we have another 'farming' competition, I will be sure to suggest a much shorter time (2-3 days vs a week+).

Either way, thanks for everyone's participation and your comments! It helps us improve each coming event, long as its constructive and not pure flame! Thanks!

i want my devliing pet now!!!
 Wow those gold coin events always attract dissatisfaction and controversies .Well thats what happens when one keep  expectations too high =/ .

Yea honeycomb was way better than mindless killing .

Anyways great event and i love the oranges ! =D

[Sky]

It was fun while it lasted. Made a few friends, I can't complain.

[LOLa]

I'm not gonna complain or anything....
This thing about prizes happens everytime we have  a major event and I think there is an easy solution.
Why don't you just announce the prizes in the begining of an event?
1st place gets this, 2nd gets that.... and etc... In this way people won't have space to complain about their efforts not being worth it at the end... like they kinda do now.

[Xanti]

@seri paragraph 2:
Cha, i assumed it would be hard to make a reasonable price for 1 player parties and 4 player parties for example ... naming multiple items (one for each party members), as you stated, is dumb, and too hard to keep track off.

sell robe, buy valks... you have a point there haha, the valks will never feel the same as the robe though =D

@3: Shorter timeframes are gay =( ... this week-long one was good and fair imho.


@Lola:
That doesnt change a thing (announcing the prizes beforehand), and i'm definitely satisfied with the prize... like Jim prety much said.. we're just a bit unlucky that we have to share it with 3 other people... i bet this is an awesome prize for Jellie, for trung a bit less cause he was in parties too.

Lola's sig is so distracting .

but ja... did like the event, and i do like the prizes!

[Lord Choice]

you gotta remember as well the exp from the monsters were huge, so that in its self was nice enough (for me at least)

[Gabrieel]

...her poor cat as a Jakk!

He enjoyed it!
But, wow! Thanks Grats to others too!

I have 2 cats. One would slash me till my fingers drop if I tried to wear it and the other is so retarded that he would destroy the costume trying to play with it. You are lucky

[gilito]

Well just 2 cents. If i know, before i play.. effort.. (you name it) what i will get: then i can

decide if i play or no,  if i do my best to win or if i dont even try.

After event prizes are wrong very wrong, ppl think (the ones who won) that are no fair etc.

I play, (well all in here, i mean kids and me) for fun. Always trying to avoid conflicts with

other players, trying to be helpful, not always fulfilled, but we all try.

We did 3008 silver coins, playin just 2 of us. Enjoy making it, but mainly enjoy buying ToT

an open it one at a time  each one of us.


Event was good. Maybe the better in Tro history, but when GM cant take critics, well then

all go to trash can.


Gms do it well when ask Tro comunity about ingame stuff, if doubts came, well just ask and youll do better and will avoid complains and drama.

Well just my point of view. 

[Princess Sere]

We ARE NOT complaining about the event, so far the event was well done. Good Job on it. We are complaining about the prize. He wasn't the only one complaining, he was just the first one to voice it out loud.

This year event was better than last year event, but they got a full set of diablo and a +1 upgrade while this time we need to buy the manteu for 400 gold coin? Beside that manteu is not hard to farm depending on your luck you can get it in no time. This good event deserve a worthy prize. And why gm is so scare of giving out prize, they gave a full set last time why this time we need to pay for the rest of the set? Btw, the price of the item beside TC is set by the market not by the gm, so far what the diablo worth depend on how much the seller want to sell and how much the buyer is willing to pay.

And the name of the unslot item is only for one item, mean I don't want to buy that item because have someone name on it, unless the entire server have it. That mean if my IP have that name will anyone else want to buy it? I thought was free slot for any item, that will be awesome. But misread.

I agree, honeycomb have better prize. But I thought the main event was gold coin.

Also we aren't complaining about sharing the same prize with the other two. We know about that. We're voicing out opinion, the third floor was harder than last time we lost more exp than gaining it. Technically, we're lucky that we're 99.

We neither complaining about the sharing item, because was done in party. And yes, congratz, Jellie for getting the prize for himself or herself. 

And the ToT from gold coin is more expensive than silver coin. Too illogical.

Yeah, we appreciate your effort, but do you also appreciate our effort?

[Ca(OH)2]

I was disappointed too when I compared last year prizes to this year.
Mainly because gold coin amount for certain prizes was increased and
gold coin was pretty hard to hunt for this year.

Of course those who didn't make the Top 3 will not be left out in the cold. There are several rewards available for you.

- 1 Coin: OBB or Disguise Scroll
- 3 Coins: OPB
- 10 Coins: OCA
- 15 Coins: MVP Headgear
- 50 Coins: Alligator, Gargoyle, Stemworm, Sting or Whisper Card
- 125 Coins: Combat Knife, Ice Pick, Mailbreaker or Swordbreaker
- 150 Coins: Atroce, Bloody Knight, Detale, Egnigem, Gryphon or High Priest Card
- 250 Coins: Gloom, Ktullanux, Maya, Randgris, Sniper or Vesper Card

Yeah, the event was really awesome 

[GM Seiren]

Well, last year the Gold Coin droprate was 3%. This year it was 14%. Even though the monsters were harder, the coins dropped a lot more
