User blog:BlueChoco/Halloween Events

I've obviously been kinda here and there, when it comes to the whole game for this month. How's everyone enjoying the 5-Shot event so far, aside from the obviously crap items more or less? Also is anyone happy or sad that the Halloween gear, has been somewhat reduced to cosmetics instead of actual items? I've just been randomly curious because honestly, I can imagine mixed opinions because many remember some being pretty cool items. Obviously now you can convert a permanent backpack, into a coffin anytime with the cosmetic purchase.

There's so many silly changes this year, that seem to be more like trying to keep you from leaving. I'm not too bothered either way about cosmetics, it's a nice welcome addition of sorts. Just don't make it too annoying, to just be a general drain on players. Before we had just NX cosmetic variants of weapons, now it's become a joke where the balance is. So now we're seeing more cosmetics for players themselves, I don't know honestly mind because everyone's different. So long as they don't get too silly, or actually do much other than change appearance.

I've seen that general slippery slope, where they kinda tease cosmetics doing things. Then it becomes a nightmare trying to get it to stop. IE: Some mask could add extra armor, but it's added on top of existing face/hat items. There's all sorts of silly ideas, that would likely float around the office  So it's an honest fine line, before they try pushing that most likely. That's where it stops being a 'cosmetic' and becoming more a, benefit to those who will pay for said items of course.
