I second this. Also remember to give loot to the person(s) who was there first (unless they wish to share it of course). :)

@Nyx

I did not report it because at the time i was angry, had had a bad day irl in general and generally i like the person who had done it. I chose to calm down and walk away. Maybe i should have reported it instead of posting true, but hey we all make mistakes eh. I have enjoyed the halloween dungeon each of the years i have partaken in it, it is fun but each year this happens again and again. I will as i mentioned leave it for this year, plenty of fabulously fun stuff to do on excelsior to amuse myself with.

Folks, don't buy uni tubs with intention to reset your body hue after it gets changed in the trick or treat quest. This doesn't work. Your actual chosen hue isn't changed as part of the quest, it is changed in the same way as when you cast a spell that changes your skin. Just cast vampiric embrace and then toggle it off again, or die and res, and it will be back to the same way you had it before the quest.

I'm really glad I removed the high-dollar item drops from the bosses this year. Every other year, by the 3rd day of the dungeon being open, I'd have had to deal with several complaint pages of people behaving badly (usually at the bosses). This time, I haven't had one. I think the fact that folks who are in the dungeon are there for the quest(s) rather than to try and get an easy batwings/jackal's/etc has helped a lot with the overall sense of camaraderie this year. I'm so glad everyone's having fun and that there's been so little drama!

In addition to removing unique drops from bosses, I would also add combining book 1 and 2 and adding blood to bats very positive changes as well. Me personally, I have had a much better experience in the dungeon with these 2 modifications vis-a-vis last year. Thanks.

I mean not to detract ANYTHING from the quest at all far from it.. its wicked fun.

THAT is what I loved the most people were just not worried about an accident driveby swipe in the halls although out popped my Canadian "Sorry Eh" . And the bosses was almost like the warner brothers cartoons with the sheepdog and wile coyote. zero drama just.. morning sam.. mind if i hit this sure np..

Its more fun when a shard gets along

P.S. Me doing trick or treat... puts on mask.. Pheobe doing quest "Oooh this one matches my outfit"

I wonder how long she'd spend in the masquerade dressing area if I just left it open for a whole weekend :lool:

All weekend! Wishing I could keep it all! Tried on all the masks left in my pack and there are some really cool ones! I like the one that wraps around your head like a scarf and the eye mask one is very pretty and subtle. Actually I liked all the ones I tried on. The one that looks like a pineapple top is also very cool..... I could go on forever! Another quest well done!

I think the Treat Runs count is off, or at least the clock is giving me the wrong answer. In my case by 3. (According to the quests list from the paper doll)

I've also heard other people complain about it.

Personally, I have no objection to this as long as they call out when the boss is up and are willing to stall a couple of minutes if someone says they are on their way.

There was an issue with the tracking items on the first day, it was fixed and they're counting properly now.

Just want to echo the sentiments of those before me: if you find me at a mini boss spawn before you, the loot is mine but you're welcome to join for the quest kill.
