Halloween [TEST][GIT]

[wushin]

Yes, We are planning a Annual Halloween event this year.

Spoiler:

Bringing back 2011's trick or treating with a twist! O so sneaky.
It should be quite different with the various new masks we have.
Tying it into Munro better and Making it Annual so it will repeat.

Yet, still open to reasonable requests. Please keep them limited as I've not much time to work on it.

[wushin]

Base commit made in case anyone wants to help. Check spoiler for needed help.

https://github.com/themanaworld/tmwa-se ... a/pull/173

Spoiler:

Still needs a list of new masks that could be worn with scare factors.
Munro needs a bit better dialogue for handing out the final reward (skeleton charm when mostly complete trick or treating during reward phase)
Also needs something to change about the "Trees" to denote holiday is active like Xmas Changes.

[wushin]

Halloween is ready for testing. Read the Spoiler instructions below.

Spoiler:

Need to be level 10+ & older then 1 week for account creation.

If the rare is the "bunch of parsly" I got it why not to make new one???????

^ Because new players that weren't here in 2011 don't have it so we should at least give them a chance to get this item

[Johanne Laliberté]

I think and new players don't need old rare items, old and new players need something nice and rare new one and useful item!!! so why is the utility to still in this game.

[Crazyk8e]

I am with Johanne on this one.

[wushin]

Top 10 list of reasons we will most likely use the BunchOfParsley:
1) The already huge list of "rares" which were used once and never again.
2) No worry about any balance issues.
3) Allows Newbs a chance to get it.
4) Time saved from not having to develop a new item.
5) Time saved from not having to balance a new item.
6) Annual events being recurring would make any rare it hands out common.
7) It's not considered very valuable as "rares" go.
I asked numerous times on this thread for ideas and no one said anything.
9) We have about 6 days to finish it
10) I have the sinking suspicion we'd get the same complaint about the halloween rare next year.

[Johanne Laliberté]

I wasn't in 2007 until I was a noob in 2010, so I never complaint about old item that I never got! I was happy to get new Events and new items.

bunch of thanks for your time and the reply.

Regards

Wushiwushi I agree with both of you here, keeping the hands off of old rares (also in this case) and most points you listed.

So let's find a compromise.

Below some items listed in head_item_db.txt but not released yet:

• Bromenal Helmet
• Earmuffs
• Bucket Hat
• Tam O' Shanter
• Cashier's Shade
• Autumn Mask
• Beret
• Moubootaur Head
• Monocle

As far as I can see they all have sprite 1.5 xml files already (except Moubootaur Head - don't understand its xml files O.o)
Beret, Tam O' Shanter, Autumn Mask and I think also Cashier's Shade would require adjusting Selim the Dyer's dialogue.

Bucket Hat and Beret are suppossed to be prizes in my lottery booth project (one day...) but that shouldn't prevent them to be released as the rare of this year's Halloween annual, if relevant.
About other items in that list: not sure which of them were planned for other projects.

Moubootaur Head: No idea how many of them still exist, afaik it was released accidently with some kind of bug, but I never saw them in game.
No idea if it's a good idea as the rare reward, so far it only looks like a placeholder in the head_item_db.txt to me.


Personally I think Autumn Mask would be a very fitting rare reward for this time of the year and Chay would be happy for it to be released.
But I will stay out of this since it's up to you how much effort you are willing to take wushin.


Edit: Just noticed that Autumn Mask + dyeable at Selim doesn't make too much sense

[SriNitayanda]

idm much the bunch of parsley since its not very rare item. i do think old rares contribute to interactions between players in game and something to aspire for, for old players once everything in game is done (getting something that is obtainable only by interacting with other players).
But the Autumn mask just looks awesome i like it.

[wushin]

No on these items Bromenal Helmet, Earmuffs, Moubootaur Head, Monocle.
Bromenal Helmet - not tested
Earmuffs - For Winter
Moubootaur Head - Not tested, possibility this quest could come back
Monocle - I'd not mind but last time I tried to put this in game I almost got cut.

I'd say Bucket Hat and/or Autumn Mask sound the best.
Bucket Hat is the safest as it's already in game.
I'd suggest both of them though as they are about as much a vanity item as the Bunch Of Parsley.

[wushin]

Added the Bucket Hat and Autumn Mask as the rare rewards, you should get either or.

[wushin]

Can someone confirm they are getting only one of these as the reward now?
