I honestly wish they had worked on Halloween as much as they have on the winter holidays. Halloween has barely changed over the last few years and there is so much more they could have added. Autumn seasonal colors, more activities outside and inside the keep, etc. They could have added some cool random encounters and effects at night, to actually make players WANT to play with night time on. It's literally the perfect season to utilize the night time in the game. I love the winter festivities, but Halloween is my favorite, and pains me how barren it feels in comparison.
They said in the blog that they wanted to focus on improving the Winter holidays and didn't do much for the other events. Halloween will hopefully be improved next year !
I guess that with camp western which was completely new they had only so many resources to upgrade one other event and it turned out to be winter festival. I hope that next year they will put more work into equestrian festival and halloween. It would even make sense that this time t's summer and winter festivals and next it will be spring and autumn ^-^
Halloween this year didn't get as much attention bc they were working on Hollow woods revamp and the Winter event. honestly i was hoping for something new for Halloween as well but, alas, some things just have higher priority
I love the sets but imo all gen3 horses should be able to wear anything new they release.. Making ppl spend their sc is more important than retrofitting apparently :) And let's not forget the fact that these sets will probs be ridiculously expensive like Halloween sets were.
Nice to see we will have more to do the coming Winter festival! 💚(I myself celebrate Yule and the feast of Frau Holle but not Christmas as an eclectic solitary Pagan & hard Polytheist💞).
i hate the winter progression idea… why cant they just keep their old way of earning things? it was better to exchange the stuff you actually wanted, instead of having to grind because the teward you want is at the end of the progression… other than that it looks amazing. but i simply hate that system.
