See BB didnt listen same adv as last year so no change there...also we have 6 copper mines max most ppl prob have endless copper mines by now plus we have the mines last year and now we get 6 more this year where we putting them?
also no mentioning of expeditions/PVP .
Yep, same x2 adv as last year, BB not followed the recent trend in events & gave every adv a x2 loot drop. That's pretty poor by BB.

Yep, nothing changed.
Also, I mentioned the bundles were pretty bad and they still didn't change anything about them on live server, same goes for calendar rewards.

Yes.
Halloween event is boring in the view of near end of TSO. Can you show me some evidence that the game will be here in 2021 so it makes sense to get Halloween stuff? Otherwise what's the point to get stuff from it to use for a month or so?

gonna save my pfb for christmas not worth using on halloween event,

Of course it is.
No use at all at xmas as you dont get event resources in loot as adventures are not part of the event the only event were we dont do any ... just off quests and explorers...using pfb for Halloween would double the amount of pumpkins your fields yield

How about you try reading the dev diary before commentating on the event.

Level 66 - 80
Ritual 1
Have your specialists complete 150 “Treasure Search” (short) tasks.
Who ever came up with this one.

Once you have reached the point where you get the Rituals you get all the rituals to do at the same time, you do not have to complete one to get the next, this means you have the remainder of the event to complete them. If you have 8 explorers you only need to send them out on 1 short search each every day to ensure completion of this quest. No doubt you will find other rituals will be completing before this one.
Just come back to read the Diary for my favorite event ( This was my first back in 2012 ) Hmmm , another general, another explorer and another geologist !! Oh come on! You need a better interface for controlling them in the game, before you keep adding more, you've been told this countless times and done nothing about it.
I've kept out of the `Flash ending' debacle till now but with less than six weeks after this event ends till the end of December deadline which includes Christmas event and indeed the Christmas holiday period. You can not seriously make me believe you can implement a solution and test it. Given BB's history through the entirety of the game, to do this huge task in this time does little to give me any confidence in the game surviving. The silence tells its own story and to still be promoting bundles for cash this close to a likely ending of the game, if that indeed come to fruition, shows a complete disregard for the customers loyalty to the brand imo.
Whilst I will continue to slay Golems without mercy, I have after all a reputation to uphold, this year it will be with a heavy heart and a lack of enthusiasm. Its a shame as I think you were finding your way forward with the event quest chains and event adventures even with the prizes being repetitive. No Gem sales here :(

We've made an update here (https://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/37923-Dev-Diary-Halloween-Event-2020?p=359796&viewfull=1#post359796).
So I just bought the "Bewitching Bundle" and it seems like one of the items in the bundle "Token Mint" was equal to the item previously known as "Token Coinage".
What a disappointment.
As it looks the same, and works the same - Why change the name from "Token Mint" to "Token Coinage" like that?

What did you think it was? You never had a token coinage? Or you didnt notice the rename on your current token mints? What a stupid comment

There's a old saying - There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers.
Thanks for that confirmation ;)
As none discovered, I miss wrote my question a bit.
The question should have been:
Why change the name from "Token Coinage" to "Token Mint" like that?
The building "token coinage" was introduced during the summer event this year with it's first reference at forum thread "Change Log 16/06/20 ... New Building: A new building, the "Token Coinage", is now available in the event shop"
(No, I didn't invested in one then)
The ONLY reference to "token mint" I can find after looking thru the game and searching the forum, is the name being mentioned at this "Halloween Event 2020 - Bewitching Bundle". No picture or description added.
So therefore I expected something else (not sure what, but something different), and it makes me wonder why the name changed?
"Thanks" for beeing just another game to kick badly the sole players. No black trees for us! Because of the obligatory co-op missions ritual.
When will all those game designers, that create forced co-operation quests, grow up to understand that adults who have jobs and other tasks to do,
can hardly make mutual appointments that match in time?

I'm sorry but despite Sandycove trade tab being swamped with co-op offers your saying you can't find the time to do them. Yet your managing to do non co-op adventures. This makes your excuse that you are a working adult to be very flimsy. The only person to blame is you.

Cant blame you laziness on the game your telling me you have never ever jumped on a lootspot pretty much the same just a tad longer siege can easily been done and even easier is tomb raiders and during events will be loads of offers and its done within 20 minutes

No need to sorry:) I have problems with writing to the chat for so long, that my communication is literally limited to my ingame frineds. And most of them are inacitve already. So I'm missing a sytem for automatic PickUp Groups.
I have not read the whole tread so sorry if someone already wrote this. When people open calendar doors they expect the last door to be special - it is even called a special door. We event talked about it in guild chat the day before - "wonder what is behind the last special door"
- It would have been so nice it there was something nice behind that last special door - it could just have been the 150 pumps from the day before - but a can of bean soup? that is not a nice way to end a calendar. Please do some more effort in what is behind what door next time. No reason to end it like this.

I'm sorry but the last door was not a Special door, it was a normal door. It's been several years since we got a nice bonus surprise for opening all doors.

And how does it change the fact that people get disappointed when they get a can of beans the last day? - It would be like giving kids a can of beans for xmas.

some thoughts according to the event
+ good amount of refills available for smaler players
+ nice that pfb works with the fields
~ event calendar - some very nice items but i don't like/need the zonebuffs alà "Witches’ Familiars" or the skin for the excelsior, 1 beansuop as final is a little lame
- bad that explorers don't bring pumpkins back sent out during phase1 returning phase 2 (could bring back some during phase 2 also :D)
- why put grim reaper and draco in that gen-bundle - they are not worth their last year price in pumpkins (1.560 & 2.450) because of the new Gens
overall good event

no have 100 explorers they bought about 3-4k of pumpkins per day doing med searches better return then long over night....most of it came from trade prices at the moment are half the price they was when the phase one was live
mine didn't - not a single one, even i stood loged in during their return after phase 1
