Yes, The Halloween is approaching this year and it will soon be here. Testers had already a chance to see the new feature implemented on test server. What is it?
Well, this year if you do adventures, you will not get pumpkins in your loot. They are replaced with pumpkin refills which you use on your pumpkin fields. The fields can be buffed and refilled with the refills from adventures loot. Does it make any difference? Slight.
This year managing your fields (buffing and refilling) will have direct impact on number of pumpkins you gain during events. You can make the same short term 4x buffs in your provision house, but since you are going to have to refill your fields there will be a bit more attention needed to maintain them. I am sure it will not break the game for people who spend 8 hrs a day playing it, but for most regular players this will be somehow a small (or a big) pain in the butt.
Not to worry, BB provided a special buff that revitalize your fields in case you had to go to work and forgot to check on your fields 4th time before launch and your fields went dry. Apply your buff, add a refill and your fields are as good as new.
This is only my opinion, but I feel this just blows. More chores, more effort and attention required from me on the top of running adventures over and over to get refills. Feel free to share yours.
What I also would like to know is why only people 66+ get the XP quest (the forgotten)? That seems like a nice chunk of xp that players 54+ could possibly get and use. Yea, lets reward those who can spend 12 hrs a day playing the game and funk all the losers who can't devote more than 4 hrs a day to the game. Brilliant.
