Out of the three THOH Events, does anyone else feel this one is "bleh?"

I think it's a good event, but the other 2 Halloweens are much better. Maybe I'm just not used to the new prize system.

Bored? No, not really. Agreed there could be more going on besides the constant trick or treating but that's the way they plan the running of the event.

They can't please everyone (or anyone possibly) - this event has no wheel of random chance, you play the game, you can win some prizes. This pleases some, irritates others. Previous events had a wheel of chance, you play the game, you can win some prizes. This pleases some, irritates others.

It seems that EA are stuffed whatever they do *shrug*

I think the event is alright, I enjoyed Halloween more last year I will admit.

I wish they had community prizes again (I enjoyed seeing that enormous counter continually flicking up), wish the egg drop rates were higher (and worked properly so you got credit for them) and I wish more people would seem to enjoy playing tapped out

The prizes aren't as good, but there are some good ones still. I think they changed the pacing because in older events like last year, you'd play for a week and have the whole event done. Then you'd be playing for close to a month with nothing to do for the actual event. This way isn't really any better though, as you're still playing for a good period of time with nothing to do, it's just more spread out between quests.

This is my third Halloween.

I am not putting a lot of effort into this one. I am on once or twice per day and I am nowhere close to the donut torture device.

For me, I like the content they added and I LOVE the fact that you earn the prizes instead of wheels/boxes of chance.

Honestly, I am just burned out. I don't feel that "spark" to win all of the prizes like I used to feel. It started after the Easter event. I loved Stonecutters and really had fun putting in the effort. Now, I love to squish aliens but don't feel like logging in every few hours to get all of the prizes.

EA has a great game. It is fun to play, but I am burned out...

This event has bags that are just devolved boxes or wheels of random chance. You just don't get a chance at a prize directly, you only get a chance at a part of a prize.

No. Near the end of the Clash of Clones event I logged on maybe once every other day. During THOH so far I log about every two hours.

I like free content, and this event has delivered so far.

I read people say the prizes aren't as good. What prizes in THOH 2013 do you think, in particular, are better than THOH 2014?

Kodos, Count Burns, Maude, Church of Lard Lad. I can't remember if Ultrahouse 2 was part of it or another event, but I like that one as well.

I like the general feel of the event in terms of having different things to do and it's pretty entertaining, but the downfall again is the prizes. Honestly the prizes have been disappointing for every event we've had since Christmas. Is EA just running out of ideas for what to offer, or did they decide to be less generous so they can keep things back for future events and stretch out the life of the game? Or maybe they've decided to go more heavily for requiring donuts for everything, so the prizes you can just win for free are getting less and less interesting.

Anyway, consider what you could win for free last Christmas: Helter Shelter, Claus Co., skating rink, Costington's, Springfield Mall. I'm sure I'm leaving out other stuff, but you get the idea.

Halloween and Christmas will both offer limited time items. If their are kids you know you want, get them now as they will help in this event. Otherwise wait on the regular items and pace any purchases.

Your reply makes no sense at all. The bags have nothing to do with chances. Materials are guaranteed and it is very easy to get enough materials to craft everything.

And remember: if everyone was guaranteed to win every prize, it would not be a game. Lots of players have become lazy and expect to have everything with the snap of a finger. Its a game. Sometimes you lose ergo don't win everything,
