We're keeping a very close eye on it. Team are already discussing how that first one looked - we were in there with you to experience it in live and a lot less were smashed than expected.

It's worth mentioning the spawns are always the same, and Um is the most complex, so there will be some learning on knowing where they can appear - but we may make changes quickly if not enough pumpkins are being smashed on average.

Thank you for all the feedback in responses to this!

We're discussing it all now. Plan is to let a full cycle of each location happen (which should be completed 1 1/2 hours from now) and then decide on the best solutions from there. We're already working up potential options.

Um is the most complex, so we just want to see how it plays out across the other locations to see if it's Um changes needed most or event-wide changes.

Now that the event has run through each of the areas, the first thing we're focusing on is lowering the number of Pumpkins required to successfully complete the event communally.

We'll have updates to share shortly.

We've just deployed a Hotfix in time for the next round of Pumpkin Parties! Details from the team:

We've been taking a gourd look at the Pumpkin Parties cropping up across Draynor, the City of Um and Fort Forinthry, and we've had lots of feedback from you around completing these events.

With that in mind, we've deployed a hotfix to reduce the amount of Pumpkins required to reach the communal goal at Pumpkin Parties. Pumpkin Parties end when this goal is reached, which may slightly reduce your average pumpkins smashed if you were finding plenty.

To offset this, players who participate in the Parties and complete the communal goal will receive 5 Gourd Gobstoppers as a reward for their contribution. Gourd Gobstoppers spawn a Smashing Pumpkin, which means we're providing 5 additional pumpkins to smash in total on top of whatever you smash during the party itself.

We're also looking to introduce a method of converting candies to H'oddments with the Monday 23rd October server update, at a rate of 1 candy to 5 H'oddments.

We're continuing to monitor and engage with your feedback across all our channels and hope you continue to enjoy this spooky season!

Tried the event both before and after the hotfix, still didn't complete it as a world

What the f**k is this

We're seeing more completions following the hotfix, but we're keeping a close eye on it. Let us know if you're still encountering issues.

We just deployed a new Hotfix: Pumpkin Parties now last 5 minutes, up from 3.
