Hotfix: Bianca has been moved to a new spot in the fort during the quest "Murder on the Border" to resolve an issue with accessibility.

Bianca has been moved to a new spot in the fort during the quest so this should be resolved now. Let me know if you run into other troubles!

Hey, I appreciate you taking the time to flag this up.
I'm raising this with the team as a topic that I want to explore tomorrow, as a priority. Definitely something we want to discuss further as a team - we'll take a closer look into this. We absolutely hear you and I'm hoping we can give you an update on things tomorrow.

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

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'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...

Spawns every hour correct?

Spawns happen at Pumpkin Parties (1 party per hour) and regularly while skilling etc.

PLEASE, just remove oddment and give us nothing instead, it's getting ridiculous!

I was hype, there was an event in my game for halloween... Now i'm sad and logged out.

I dont understand why you guys hate ironmans so much?

Giving irons nothing was an option that was considered. Oddments currently feel bad because the store hasn't been updated in way too long. If the store was updated and irons stopped receiving oddments i'm pretty sure you would be asking to get them again. Personally I want the store to be updated but its not a decision I can make.

Comment

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.

Have you examined it?

Gotcha! Thanks for the quick response, i've noticed the pumpkins also don't get claimed with a Spirit attraction potion, also intentional or bug?

Intended. There is a candy available in the h'oddments store tomorrow that has this functionality.

Seren spirits will still spawn, as will blessings of the gods. Pumpkins have a higher spawn rate so you will see them more often. It is possible for seren spirits to spawn at the same time as pumpkins. I think you've just been very unlucky so far.

Comment

Currently something we're looking into. The issue with completing the event is the event ends meaning you stop getting the rewards from the pumpkins.

This is an interesting one. Since this is an item that can be won by irons through gameplay it makes sense for others that aren't as lucky to be able to purchase them from the GE due to it being a cosmetic. It having the small passive is where it becomes difficult. The passive is more QOL than anything since candles are so cheap. We could block this passive from working if an ironman is using it, but this then affects any players that won it themselves losing out on the effect. Alternatively we could just make the ensouled version have the same effect as the upgraded rotten head and only work for T2. This way its the same effect that everyone should already have and only a cosmetic change. Interested on opinions.
