Morostide: One last treat

Morostide might be over but we’ve got one last treat for you. Rouland is ready to rumble at the Battle Coliseum until 11:59pm on November 4, when all the Morostide challengers leave.

Note: I considered extending the holiday itself, but it didn’t seem like we’d get the site stable enough for it to really make a difference. 2020 trick or treat items will be moved to the Carnival prize pool soon (there will be a news post when it happens).

We’ll also be giving out retired morostide restockables sometime during Luminaire via quests along with some other retired holiday items. These were never originally going out via quests during Morostide, but I thought I'd mention them here. <3

Thanks for letting us know about the 2020 items, but are the 2019 items there as well? Also, I managed to get everything I needed this year, except the sad egg achievement.

Also, was anyone ELSE told by Staff in a ticket that we were incorrect about the Human Zapper erroring out and eating our bribe while giving us old skins? Cause I was literally treated like I was just silly and confused about it when I submitted a ticket lmao.

I mean, 2 minutes after Morostide ends is absolutely not and never should have been the time to announce that y'all thought about but decided against giving us extra time to try and make up for the site instability. That should have been announced WELL BEFORE Staff closed down the holiday. Say you don't respect the time of your players without saying it, tbh.

Like, this is legitimately getting comical. Events consistently face rampant instability, partially because the game is running on two different servers at the same time and one requires us to be connected to the other to function properly. Monthly collections haven't come out on on time in ages, and holidays are starting to become consistently later and later in the season. Euclid's Human Zapper was eating the WT/SP bribe and giving us old skins, likely because new.subeta.net was down, and couldn't prove it in the ticket because the wardrobe runs on new.subeta.net and... it was down, so no screencaps. Hell, Minion Battling was inexplicably and very likely accidentally launched and just... hasn't been patched to function or been patched out so we can't access it like months ago.

At this point I'm past snarky and I'm half concerned. Is the Subeta building on fire or something? WTF is going on over there?

Also in the "very disappointed that the times were not shortened" camp, it's unfortunate that no communication about the lack of extension meant that nobody thought to ask about those when they didn't happen. Maybe it'd be a good idea in the future, when everything is breaking like it has been, to have someone manually check?

I was really hoping to get that new Blob Kitty avatar skin, but the zapper and wardrobe weren&;t working properly. I swear it gave me the mushroom experiment skin three times, even through the bribe option, and it even regressed my avatar to do it.
Yeah the zapper was definitely broken, I had the bribe give me a skin I got a week beforehand, and didn't even know that was the case for almost a full day because of how broken the wardrobe has been. HAs also never copied over to the real site from new the whole event so unless you were obsessively checking it over on new you wouldn't even see if you had a skin equipped (I've changed mine repeatedly over the course of the event but I'm still displaying the same HA with the first random skin zap I got at the start of the event!).

As far as the quest-a-thon border, I’ve made inquires and will try to get to post on the thread about it. (I’ve linked him multiple times but I think something always comes on that he has to focus on outside of that. 👀 )

I'd just like to take a moment to say thanks to the staff in their efforts to keep thing running.

As a software engineer myself, I could see attempts to debug and resolve the issues happening throughout the day. And I know from experience that trying to manage communications and fix the problem at the same time is frustrating and counterproductive.

While issues with the timer and lack of extension is a bummer, I rather staff focus on addressing the ongoing problems rather than have another variable to divide their attention.

In the meantime, we can all vent our frustrations on bat boy!

Oops, I completely misunderstood what I read earlier and thought the entire Morostide event was being extended until Nov 5, like the challengers. Drat! I guess I have to wait until next year!

I'm with you on the gold border from the questathon. Every quest every day including Sarah plus 2 wiz buffs. What happened ? Is this being addressed?

I was fully expecting Morostide to be extended but at this point I'd be happy just to have Subeta back to normal. What is causing all this?

Like others, I'm bummed there isn't an extension but mostly because I didn't get a few items I needed lmfao. But I know how fickle code is and for the most part things were pretty smooth, at least for me. Maybe the ToT items from this year could be a random drop from quests during Luminaire (or some time this year, w/e)? 👀 Regardless, thank you guys for all the updates and new items + pet colors! ❤

Yeah maybe Jaxon can open the patch for Luminaire. Ghosts/scary stuff can overlap with the holidays. Like Scrooged/Christmas Carol. Let's just hope the pumpkins don't DİE by then.

Ah, I’m sorry. did that news post earlier because I wasn’t available (only had my phone with me today with spotty connection). She wouldn’t have known what and I planned for Rouland. She checked with me before posting but I didn’t even think to tell her to make a note about extension information. That’s completely on me.

  until November 5, just like the challengers!

this is really disappointing considering trick or treating was like... the only part of the site that DID work consistently lmao :\

i get that you've got a lot going on, and not a lot of time to make decisions, but a "we'll maybe do an extension, oh jaaaay kaaaay we're not doing an extension and we won't tell you that even though we had plenty of time to do so" is not great! i'll roll with a lot of the decisions you guys have made even if i don't like them (see: me still existing on this website post-weapon loot box), but the last few days of issues have been particularly irritating, and to have this cap it off is just incredible.

(and your unannounced community manager shouldn't be hinting about extensions either, that's not exactly helping!)

At least we know why the Random ToT didn't go down....

At least I bought what items I needed (although a few are still needed), and I was glad I could still give out some more items in my giveaway, but I'm noticing still errors popping up, as well as not being able to access my WL or add anything to it. Happy I at least got two of the three borders this year, all of the skins (Thank you for the option for the bribing to get a guaranteed skin once a day!), and Crook (Was worried I'd not get him before the event ended), so I'm pretty happy about the event over all.

Do we know how long until the Morostide forums will close, in case some of us still have giveaways and the like going on ?

Quests are still broken. I've seen them not reset before but don't recall them every being broken. If they aren't going to be fixed guess I'm giving up and going to bed and hope something is working tomorrow.

You Won! You have defeated Rouland 10 times! You won a(n) Impossible token to use in the battle shop! You earned 116226 sP for beating Rouland! Merra earned 12500 EXP Points! Thanks for Rouland. Like many others, I'm disappointed that there wasn't an extension. I think we kind of assumed there would be, for several reasons. I would have done things differently today if I really thought it was the last day. That's on all of us for assuming, I guess. Never count your chickens before they hatch on Subeta XD

I think there was a lot of confusion about whether the times were supposed to be shortened today or not because some of us were thinking there might be an extension for the holiday, even though I know it was never 100% confirmed. In the post that was made earlier today about the login issues, quite a few people were asking for more info about whether there would be an extension and where is Rouland, but no staff members ever commented.

I know in cases like this sometimes you have to just see how it goes, but when there is so much confusion and frustration on the player side, it's not a great feeling to get radio silence most of the day. Keith posted in the discord a few times, but other than the news post saying that the lag was being looked into, it kind of felt like nobody was really around.

Borders will be back next year! An extension would be no different then how the site has been, full of errors and just not exactly playable. In the past, we extend when lag/etc has been sorted completely or at least enough that it isn’t too much an issue.

I’m sorry that I didn’t realize all the times didn’t work out like they should’ve. I’m already looking into a way we can possibly open the patch for a few days, maybe as a treat to Dungarde or something for Luminaire!

I wish I'd been able to get the borders, but I was out of town for most of the month, and then with the lag I just didn't have the ability to do what needed to be done, but them's the breaks sometimes. Will the borders be back next year?

I am a bit disappointed I must admit, Patch times were still at 17+ minutes and the only trick or treat time that went down was the regular and it went to 5 minutes like normal. I just don't get why there were several days of issues but we couldn't get an extension on the holiday. The site has been unstable close to holiday end in the past and we have still had extensions...Something would have been better than nothing.

Flameo is a Fireside achievement prize from being burned 100 times by the Red Rreign

Ice was an event prize from a snowball fight event called Snolympics

I'm frustrated, with all the problems lately I expected an extension. Overall, these past few days performance on Subeta has been not been great. Right now (and yesterday as well) I am getting errors where I can't quest and I'm also unable enter special shops. By the way, I still haven't forgotten about the gold border from Quest-a-thon. It's been literally months without no resolution, and I went out of my way to do every single quest during that time, so I know I earned it.

My patience is wearing thin. /rant

You mentioned the Flameo and Ice skin? I have the Ice skin, but can't really remember how I got it. I think my sister mentioned to me sometime recently that at least one of them was from some special event or something years ago. I think there's somewhere in the forums where some are asking for them to be brought back somehow in another event, but I'm not certain where exactly. :) Hope that helped a little.

I'll admit I'm a little disappointed that we're not getting an extension, considering the wait-times never decreased (I thought those were hard coded? Did I miss something? I don't use Discord), but I understand the reasoning there. Just wish we could've gotten an update before it ended, ah well. Looking forward to the items being given out via quests :) Thanks for another fun Morostide!

Is there any other way or times to get more skins? Would it ever be possible to let people buy or trade skins?

Missed a few TOT items but I think I bought the ones I care about.. Will know for sure when I can get to my WL lol! Hopefully next year Ill get the hex border!

Echoing the comments that would have appreciated notice earlier and the random wait time reduced, but I appreciate the work you fall have been doing behind the scenes to address the errors and glitches that seem to come up at the most inconvenient of times.

Looking forward to Fireside and the flaming fall goodies! ( Simple Reborn Figurines ? 🙏)

There was a post that said if things got extended, we’d let you know. While was working on things I hoped the site would be more stable to actually extend and for everyone to enjoy. That didn’t happen, and it was a lot of play by ear unfortunately.

I didn’t get any pings or notifications about the random ToT times not decreasing, I’m sorry! I would’ve hopped on to mess with that. It was hardcoded for Pumpkin Patch, ToT, and random ToT to decrease times on the 31st and every time I did regular ToT and patch it was fine. I'll admit, I didn't do much random ToTing myself.
