Do Not Disturb (ALL HALLOWS) Event Review Thread - Ivanna - 10-22-2017

Thank you EXTRA everyone for all your hard work this weekend. We couldn't run this game without everyone's support, ideas, energy and enthusiasm. Seriously. I've heard nothing but good things about how everyone came together to make this game a reality. I'm so very proud of everyone Big Grin

And without further ado... To the fun part!

What did you like, what needs improvement, and what were your most exciting stories / moments / interactions.


We'd like to especially thank our 2017 Season NPC and Shaper Team. You worked incredibly hard and we are incredibly grateful for you and your dedication. Thank you is not strong enough for our gratitude. 

Please give Dan at least tomorrow to recover. He will get back to you Tuesday! Tomorrow is a day off. Then comes 2018: A new team.

I wasn't there for very long, but here's my review:

PROS:
+ Shooting moss.
+ Friendship pine cone (bless you Mason).
+ PUMPKIN CONTEST! You guys made the judging really fun!
+ Demi's love for Stumpy <3.
+ Azurine falling into the abyss. She still brought back the pine cone. Champ.
+ Ma and pa. Sean, Rebecca, I missed playing with you guys.
+++ Baby fauns come from pine cones. Em, bless you for going along with that. You're the best <3

Okay, that's pretty much it.

Review from an NPC

PROS
-The large amount of combat roles (even if most were just there to be squishy) was a blast!
-Saturday night's town mod was excellent, and the coffin was awesome to see in action with mother inside.
-Playing heavy mist marauders against dark camp and feeling really powerful (and still getting wiped pretty easily)
-Saturday night after the town got back I was lucky enough to get sent out as a Wendigo with thousands of wisps and what I can only describe as the granddaddy of Wendigo's (you'll know what i'm talking about when pictures get posted), which is by far was the best part for me. I got to play up the creep factor and even killed a couple newbies, finaling one (I'm so sorry Xander).

NEUTRAL
-While I though this was an overall awesome event I couldn't help but feel slightly underwhelmed. I've heard stories about this event and was kinda expecting more fear and chaos going down.

CONS
-I just wanted to apologize to anyone who got hurt or felt at risk fighting me, I got carried away with my swings on more that one occasion and hit a couple people too hard or in the face.

RE: Do Not Disturb (ALL HALLOWS) Event Review Thread - KRONG DA STRONG - 10-23-2017

SUPER PRO:
~All of the lovely people who helped ease my anxiety when it was really bad, the crowds and yelling can be a bit overwhelming and lots of people showed much patients and care. I truly feel loved and accepted in this community! <3

PROS:
~TERRIFYING GREATER SPECTER
~Everyone actually being relatively together and working as a team on massive mods
~TRAP WIRE BELL MOD NERF GUN THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
~Not being able to run away into paths due to caverns gave an interesting challenge
~Being in caverns and having the fire in a separate place form tavern so down time is not always in tavern or next to it, giving more variety and change
~all the love from people when I died
~Sassy Firbogs
~The return of Lady Lillith
~Gorilla Lamalas (Sorry if i spell the name wrong XP)
~PULLED POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRK

CONS:
~SO MANY FUCKING WENDIGOS AND WISPS
~Dying from FUCKING WENDIGOS but it happens and is the point of the game kinda
~No one finding my body when I finaled and RP my corpse that was 10 feet from the fire
~Firbogs killing people who broke their inconsistent changing laws

RE: Do Not Disturb (ALL HALLOWS) Event Review Thread - Pawp! - 10-23-2017

The good:
-Dustin's cliff mod! That was soooo fun.
-The new location everyone got to live in.
-Selling my kobold painting
-the escape mod
-moon's pyre
-karr's pyre
-yoshi's mist marauder


the bad:
-A bit too much down time.
-from what i heard there were a lot of wendigos, making them less interesting as this is the 4th game in a row they've spawned through the different guilds.
-so sad i missed magnar and lilith

RE: Do Not Disturb (ALL HALLOWS) Event Review Thread - Liamhain - 10-23-2017

As I only PC'd the first half of game I can only review that
Pros:
I liked having to be led to the Sanctum in-game, rather than randomly spawning in there at the start of game
Having the rotating watch on the gates Fri night, I got to help defend even if I usually go to bed earlier than most at game
Sat fetch quest for ritual components that actually were used for rituals
"Falling asleep isn't tactical Gnar"

Cons:
Getting finalled by something another guild made, in Ralinwood
Lot of infernalism going on during what people call 'down-time', keep the RP going please!

RE: Do Not Disturb (ALL HALLOWS) Event Review Thread - Lilith Caia - 10-23-2017

I really liked having all the PCs in one location. It felt more town-like.

RE: Do Not Disturb (ALL HALLOWS) Event Review Thread - Dr. Moran - 10-23-2017

I had a pretty good event overall, the feels were real and my voice still haven't recovered.

Pros
  • “Well that’s fortunate.” We’ve finally come full circle. That’s it. I can die happy now. Thank you, Cat.
  • I am proud of my stupid suicidal sprint to kill Mother when she first emerged. The necromantic arts reply that she gave was terrifying. Honestly, Mother in general was great. I loved the physical roleplay and the (brief) talks that were mostly me screaming a lot and then almost dying a lot. 
  • Licking the necrotic barrier. 10/10 would die and raise as undead again.
  • Great RP with so many PCs and NPCs. Em in particular did a stellar job with her Firbolg. New players were on point. Returning people were great too, lots of great memories.
  • The mod with the jumping around and the bottomless pit was great. Possibly one of my favourite mods this season, Dustin always has neat mod mechanics. Accidentally murdering my brother’s partner on his first event was definitely unexpected but hilarious. Don’t worry. He got better.
  • LILIIIIITH. The fear was real at first but it was lovely to finally get to talk to her properly again and whine at her for things that were entirely my own fault. I will never forget that crisp high five. Kudos to Will Hyland for being the most patient and underappreciated Hellhound to ever grace Ralinwood
  • I got to ride a giant albino spider into battle against undead. I’d say that’s one off the bucket list but never in my wildest dreams did I imagine this could happen. God bless Clicker and Luna, the best druids in town.
  • Shooting Moss.
  • The graduation ceremony for Roland was amazing. It was nice to see NPCs and PCs taking the earning of a vocation so seriously and I was really touched that Wren and I also were recognized despite not working directly with Kar.
Cons
  • Friday night didn’t really feel like the beginning of a Hallows event. The first mod seemed a bit slow (for me at least) and then it was just the occasional defending the door and watching the fire until dawn because people don’t understand that you can’t put all the wood available onto the fire and then all go to sleep in an hour. It will still be burning and somebody must watch it. There were many abandoned fires this game.
  • Saturday also felt slow and not terribly scary but it picked up at night and then went hard until game was called. 
  • NPCs were better than usual with necromantic arts replies but still a lot didn’t reply and some even got snarky when we had to ask them with each new pop if they were undead.
  • Putting us all in the obstacle course was an interesting idea but the only lighting was from glow sticks that got lost in the grass/didn’t illuminate all that much and tiki torches that either went out or caused you to have to be careful when fighting around them. There were so many things to watch out for while you tried to run that it made combat and fleeing really hard. Maybe try diffused solar lights next time if you can get some donated?
  • Riven didn’t get a Hallows birthday demon for the second year in a row and that makes me really sad.
  • Lack of communication again reared its ugly head. Most of us had no idea about the dying and immediately raising as an undead mechanic for the whole event.

Thank you to the whole shaper and NPC team for all your hard work. You're the real heroes.

RE: Do Not Disturb (ALL HALLOWS) Event Review Thread - Lobo the Oricar - 10-23-2017

Since it was my first time LARPing ever, I had an effing blast! If anyone’s interested, here’s my pros and cons:

Pros:
Being allowed to summon Lilith my first game ever, even though I had no clue what I was doing
Getting rescued from the cliff edge while hallucinating
Hallucinating
The whole atmosphere of the event; even though I was next to useless most of the time, no one made me feel useless. You guys are great!
Ava, who kept waking me up when I kept getting KOed by the sleep trap

Cons:
Taking an arrow to the forehead. Damn goblins!
This one is all me, but the lack of sight at night. Got killed by a wendigo trying to figure out if it was a friendly

Thanks for a great time, everyone! Me and Keldor will be back with friends

RE: Do Not Disturb (ALL HALLOWS) Event Review Thread - Azurine - 10-24-2017

Alright, every time I do this it seems that I only get one or two reviews is before my character goes off again. I will try to keep this as short as I can but a lot happened .
Pros:
• Dustins cliff mod ( I hate you, but appreciate you) I have never had the chance to do a little mod on the side and that one was amazing to be my first
o The others who were on in that group, you are the best.
• Moon’s final rights and the fire wanting to spread, everyone yelling, “Even in the after life he is resilient” That was a tearful moment for sure
• The Saturday night mod and Sunday morning mod: There were super fun and I have never fought so hard on the front lines. It was nice to be useful, but my character hated it.
• EM!!! You are amazing, thank you for all your RP and believing that Fauns can be grow and appear from acorns. That will live on forever.
• It was funny and interesting to Rp Hannick telling me that Nennia had died and me falling into an Angsty wild elf. (not happy they died, but happy about the rp) Then to find out that Rajani was behind the barrier…. Oh man……
• Scrumps stump. How so many people like that demonic looking doll I have no idea but Rachel you did well
• “Ursel Stop Licking Everything”
• Meeting Saeeda! Girl you the best to go on adventures with. Call me anytime you want to do something.
• Pumpkin contest was absolutely amazing
• Guarding the rituals
• Sitting by the “fire” and just conversing with everyone (so many feels)
• Being able to use some skills like my healing people with first aid and then pumping magic into them!!!! I was hoping I would be able to use it.
Neutral
• I kind of wish that for the mechanic of town being together we would have done it in town center. It would have been around the cabins and tavern which I feel would have been more town like as we would actually have town all together. Also closer to the tavern and bathroom area. But that may have been the point and if so, ignore this point.

Side note (not targeting anyone, but did hear this complaint from some people)
• The first half of the event was a bit slow, but in the long run I really liked it. Just a reminder that for some who are little higher in levels, though we can do more that doesn’t mean that something always has to be happening. There are still a lot of lower leveled characters and including them to do things are equally important. Also, rp with one another. There are main npc characters who are there at your disposal for most of the time and other characters. Some of my greatest memories are just sitting at the fire talking or looking at the ground looking at the “shooting moss”. I am also sure that almost every character has a back story and there is something in that can be played out, without npc intervening.

OVERALL: 10/10 ated my life IG and 10/10 loved everything about it OOG.
