Greetings forum community,

I am going to introduce an idea which I don't think has been fleshed out to date (if it has then my bad). With the hallow promo 4 months away, I started wondering how OOO could change the promo to bring me back in and get me to grind it for the entire event as I have in the past. I'm not recommending changing the mission at all, but I could definitely be open to playing something a bit different (as long as the time spent/payout doesn't suck).

Aside from changing up the actual boss/missions somehow, I was thinking it may be about time to add the remaining accessories to the payouts.

Things such as the common helm guards, mech'tennas, barrel belly, binocular visor, and canteen (to name a few) are easy, but I'm more interested in the desirables. This first category, given the equal % chances, would also include less normally common accessories such as mohawks and mustaches.

ALSO (edit): Can't forget about the rest of the costume armors that could be made! (jelly, skelly, etc)

Most importantly, I'm talking new 1% items to go along with the haunted aura; wolver tails and cat tails.

Thoughts? Introducing these (ESPECIALLY the rare items) to the event would definitely cause me to buy a new elevator pass and grind for weeks!

I'd like to point out that I don't care anymore about grinding.

If OOO puts out a new thing, I won't grind for it anymore. I'll check it out and derp around, but I stopped grinding for things since 1st Cake Anniversary, it was enough. All I do now is run around, herpaderp, and get reported for shenanigans.

pls ooo.

They need to add "-style variation like hallow, surge, ect-" of skelly suits, demo armor, gunslinger lowest tire, and jelly. I want to be able to wear a surge skelly suit. That would be so flopping awesome. We have cloaks, wolver armor, platemail, and that one ember breaker stuff but nothing else D: please fix this.

I don't think adding more rewards will get too many players to do that type of events again - grinding is still grinding. Either way, I know I will be participating in the DH festival - anything to get a break from FSC, RJP, and the occasional arena. Plus it's a good way to burn all your mist in 20 minutes :P

I did a (very) small amount

I did a (very) small amount of research for lols - In a very small, statistically insignificant sample size of 12 people who went through dark harvest last year, 11 of those 12 said they'd grind just as much this year, if not even more than last year, if there were tails (and new lesser items) as a potential box reward.

While I would rather see the event changed up a bit, but even then I have very little reason to grind it again to get another 4 of each existing hallow item... lol.

I'd love a Hallow/Frosty Cat Tail or similar item.
It's not unreasonable; you do have Gen1 wings in both boxes...

@Rating
You should change the thread title to be more indicative of the suggestion. You don't describe an event revamp, you request new (more interesting) costumes and rare accessories to be included in the token prize boxes.
Maybe something like "Add new costumes & accessories to Hallow/Frosty Prize Boxes! Hallow Cat Tails, Frosty Skelly Suit, Etc"

Off-topic

@Oohvoh
Why do we call them "Gen1 Wings"? Because unless you describe
which wings you mean things become really confusing really damn fast.

Why do we use the term "Gen1"? These were the first wings in the game. They came out way back when the accessory update was introduced to the game.
