Anyone else brutally disappointed with Halloween 2015?

I just think EA needs to be a little more mindful of the long time players. It just seems like a huge oversight to have so many returning prizes. And this has been happening a ton lately.

People are super excited for the pet cemetery, the Bart Raven, Kang and Kodos, Hugo, House of Evil, Bad Dream House, etc...all of which I've had for a year or more. Not saying these things shouldn't return, new players should absolutely have a chance at them, I just want a bunch of stuff to be excited about too.

Brutally? No

Disappointed? No

Nope I really like the mechanics and play of this event. The only thing disappointing are the prizes.

That says it for me, too. :)

Ditto. I'm enjoying this event so far. My gf is too, which is nice as she hasn't been engaged by an event since Super Heroes.

I'll hop on this bandwagon. I think the mechanics are the best of any recent event. The prizes are extremely disappointing.

I, too, am disappointed about the event prizes and items. Offer the old stuff....that's fine, but the event should be planned as something new, with returning items offered but not the focus.

I also like that the pressure is off, and I enjoy the slower pace of this event.

I agree with other players that the full town panning when dropping formless terrors is very cumbersome. The only helpful part about it is that you might catch a glimpse of where the nightmares in the town are so you can possibly get back to them to squish them.

I am most disappointed about the campfire storytelling theme and the fall decor. I loved the blowing leaves from last year and I love the fall colored trees. I wish the theme was more Halloween-like. I just don't strongly associate the storytelling around the campfire with Halloween. I like act 2 a little better, but it's still not a scary Halloween.

I was pretty apathetic about the whole event in the beggining, and I've lighten up a bit with Act 2. The newer craftables are nice, and I originally liked the spooky grove, and the impossible tower. The newer Halloween building skins are quite nice, and I'm excited for the VanHouten skins. I do wish for more new playable chracters though. So far I've enjoyed the pirate and fairy skins for Kang and Kodos, but not the children's. I do like the storyline though. I am a 2012 player, and although I like people getting a chance at old things it has been pretty dry for me.

not enough nudity...... :shock: LOL

but that donut with the legs we got was missing a lot of stuff on the backside...... :oops:

I appreciate that i don't have to craft much, because the prizes for that portion I've already got.

I appreciate that i could instead save up my currency and use it for things i do want. Because there's plenty of new features. The building skins yet to be released, the character skins yet to be released, etc. The wailing wall is also an excellent opportunity.

I also appreciate that this event doesn't feel like a chore, I'm not panicking that i won't finish levels in time. I'm not concerned with waiting up at night.

And i appreciate there's several layers of story line to follow. Like, even though i already had Hugo, there's a story line with Bart. It's kind of like a small Simpsons comic book.

Ooh yeah plus there's 2/3s of the event yet to unfold. And since I'm not psychic like some of you must be, i can't know if it will be fun or not. But i suspect it will be so I'm looking forward to the release. Sure glad I'm not a pessimist, particularly about a FREE game!

This. ^^ 100%

It's not all that bad. The event seems doable. Last year I couldn't finish the event because the requirements were too high. This year they seem to attainable. The prizes aren't the best, but definitely not the worst. Plus considering how many events they pushed out this year I feel like this was a good event.

Just the damn lagging
