I am actually increasingly annoyed about getting last years ToT items. We didn't get older items in last years round of stuff, so why are we getting it now?!

Because last year was actually an exception, not the norm. We usually get things from the previous year in Tot and Patch.

Also, thanks to Quentin's old format, lots of 2013 items were selling for 50k+. For candy

Oh, boo. Just my luck that my first Morostide was the one without the older ToT items which consequently gave me unrealistic ideas about future Morostides.

I'm tired of the old T-o-T items, as well.

I'm kind of annoyed with achievements. Missed an item? that will be 3mil please when it was 200k before. You new? Sucks to be you then. Your fault for not being here when it first came out.

So, you're mad that new achievements require old stuff. And you're mad that you have a chance of getting said old stuff for free?

Wow...

If you get this upset after small minor issues in such a short period of time, then it is probably time you did quit Subeta. Your mental health is far more important than an online game site.

Other than the DDoS, I have had no lag issues at all (with 1500+ users on!). And I'm still super stoked for what's to come.

The only thing that has phased me so far is the fact that I have to play "Easter Egg Hunt" to find the un-retired holiday items in the main shops... It's unnecessarily complicated. I mean, if we can't have event specific restockables in one spot, can someone please explain to me the Freyalise Trading Company? Yeah, I never really did understand the move away from the Holiday Shop.

When the cron didn't reset, I just let it go... I found something else to do with my time... Same thing when the lag hit and during the DDoS attack. At least I can access the site most of the time, whereas most events in the past meant a nearly constant battle against the lag... Even in off-hours. All in all, the site is handling the extra traffic pretty well this year... So far at least. Fact is, when something is dependent on electronics, it's a sure bet that something will go wrong occasionally.

As for some of the stuff brought up in the OP: Most random prizes for events these days are comprised of new and old items... By the time this event is over, there should be plenty of new and old items on the market for you to buy what you want at a reasonable price if you can't get them from ToTing... Except maybe maybe the highly sought after items... Which are no more rare than anything else, just more in demand.

The battling will come... Eventually. There will be changes. There might even be new challengers... I'm pretty sure there will be new loot. (No Shrieks means new prizes for Nightlady at least.) Staff knows that Morostide is a big deal for battlers and they are not going to get rid of it.

And the Pumpkin Patch thing... Is clearly a mystery plot of some fashion... How in-depth it will be remains to be seen.

Subeta is meant to be an interactive site and that means they have to change things up once in a while... Because if everything went the exact same way, people would be complaining about how boring this site is... -thinks back to past summers when people were crying out for a plot or an event or something- Yeah.

I don't care about the types of achievements these new Morostide achis are so I'd really want to opt out of getting last year's items, considering I got almost all of them then. Getting them now (especially old candy) when I just want all the new wardrobe items just irritates the hell out of me. Other than that I'm happy with the event so far.

is it just me or do people jump to conclusions and overreact more than they used to o-o

So, you're mad that new achievements require old stuff. And you're mad that you have a chance of getting said old stuff for free?

Wow...

This.

I for one am enjoying myself. I like the new items. I don't mind getting old items, especially since there are achievements for them now. The closed pumpkin patch screams plot to me, so I'm much more excited by a closed pumpkin patch this year than the open pumpkin patch last year :P I'm glad that we don't have battle opponents yet, since that gives me more time to boost my battle pet before the challengers come out!

And most of all: (apart from the DDOS attack which subeta can't really prevent) No lag! Woooo! The first lag free morostide for me, and I've been here for 7 years. This is a huge step forward!

Oh, and for the people complaining about expensive items for the achievements that were released: It's pretty obvious that the same thing will happen for fireside and luminaire, so buy up all the old crap that you still need now, before the achievements make them 10 times as expensive.

I kind of have to agree with the OP here about the mixing of old ToT items with the new.I'm getting more copies of some of same old items than I care for.I think there is something very wrong,especially if I'm just getting copy after copy,after copy of nothing but Spooky Fog Sample.

I never had problems before,and I think it was a terrible idea to have the old items mixed with the new to begin with.I don't recall old items being with the new items in the past,and I don't think they should start now.I wish they would remove them at least by either Thursday or Friday night.

Frankly, all of those "points" about how this Morostide is ruined are more or less a temper tantrum. And here's why:

• The cron bug happens every so often. It did not affect ToT-ing at all and none of the questgivers gave out Morostide items before the recent unretirement.
• The site was barely lagging at all for me since the event started, excluding the time of the DDoS attack.
• If prices for the really old ToT items get too out of hand, I'm pretty sure staff will add more into the system. Hopefully through the Free Shop during Luminaire or something.
• The Patch was closed because of a plot. It's open now. You still have a week and a half to get the stuff you want.
• Pretty sure ToT times are the same they were in the past... 8, 9 years? However long Morostide has actually been around.
• The ToT fast pass buff seems to be pretty common.
• If the achievements required new items, it wouldn't be any different because guess what? There aren't that many new items in circulation yet. You'd be in the same boat with stuff not being available at reasonable prices.
• The users who had old ToT stuff stashed away will begin pulling it out of galleries to sell, balancing the prices out a bit.
• Battle challengers always showed up later, once the initial ToT-ing frenzy wore off.

Seriously, OP. You've been here for 2 years, you should at least know the part about the challengers if you're that passionate about battling.

Mixing last year's ToT items in with the new ones has been going on for at least 2 or 3 years that I know of? Probably even longer. Same thing with the Pumpkin Patch items. It's definitely not a new thing that was introduced this year.

The only year where they was no new/old item mix was 2013. There was always old items mixed. You probably just don't remember.

I'm tearing out my hair at getting 17 Suspicious Hatchet Stickers and Blue Raspberry Crushed Candy Crystals and only 1 or 2 of the new items. It's supposed to be random what you get, right? Then why am I not getting a 50/50 split of old and new items?

And the achievements that require ancient items, like the Candy Rings . . . fuck you. Releasing a few in the Crystal Shop (my guess) is not going to help much.

I hope next year items from 2006 or 2010 will be released for Trick or Treating . . .

I'm sorry but I fail to see said 'Morostide Nightmare'.

Yes, of course I want everything RIGHT NAOW. XD But besides that I think everything is going fine so far. And if somebody doesn't want their last year ToT stuff- dump it into the DC. New users will love getting free stuff and old users might find something there too for their gourmand pet or a pet's TC.

Overreaction. Totally.

While I wished, we hadn't missed out on a couple of days of the major wait times patch or that my minion nip would work, we get a plot this time.

Also desired, I wouldn't get hexed that often, or, if not, mostly copies of the same items all over, while I desperately need the books again of course. But: "C'est la vie" or "shit happens" ;)

While I generally disagree with the general whinging tone of the OP, I do have to say that today I missed out on using 2 ToT fast passes, as well as getting to autoprice my shop before midnight (I did cut it a little too close, but still) because of the site going down. I have had some lag as well, but nothing too bad. I just wish the site would stay up for once.

The only thing I am bummed out about is the usual site "subeta is down" then click again and after minutes you finally get to a page. It took me 10 minutes to be able to post this and just hoping it won't take another 10. Increasing the time to places like the pumpkins is no help if it takes you that long to get there.

Subeta... do something about your lags.
