What does everyone think of the Midnight Grove event?

I'm assuming there's more gameplay changes to come after the first week. The event tome is split into two parts, week one and week two.

I find it hard to believe that they would state they're going to put more effort into the Halloween event, just to recycle events they've done before without doubling bp gains.

Nobody is using the damn petals except me :,(

It's a'ight. It's nothing special, especially for those of us who were around last year as it's basically last years event but we're kicking pumpkins instead of poking weird flower things.

it was OKAYISH if they didnt like basically completly erase other event for something like that.

Last year's halloween event could be summed up as "hey we made some new skins, go buy them", so this is infinitely better than that one. But... still not that great. If you don't have Mikaela or if you don't play Doctor... get #########, I guess? Don't know why they couldn't make it so that you could choose 2 blighted cosmetic sets again like the last good halloween event

I guess what I'm trying to say is this - this event is better than I expected, but my expectations were pretty low. Other non horror games continue to have much better halloween events. They could've made this much more than it is

I think the gens should be worth more, I'm getting like an extra 3k per game sad

It's a simple event and of course it could be way better. But it's quite fun going around kicking pumpkins and I like the Halloween rift. It doesn't deviate much from normal DBD gameplay which is a good thing since I actually want to have normal games.

It's good. Is it as good as they made it sound? Absolutely not. But is it good? Yeah.

Also do cursed seeds work the same as pestula petals? I'm not sure why but it feels different.

I appreciate the free cosmetics, charms, and extra challenges but the constant infinite loading screens and desync ruins it.

This event, like all events, is just an excuse for this horrible community to dial the toxic behaviors to eleven. The overwhelming majority of players go out of their way to make sure people get as little reward and enjoyment as possible.

But hey, let's censor more mean words instead of treating the cause of them.

Very annoying, it feels like ever since it started the amount of bugs increased, it's very underwhelming and makes the event hard to enjoy

The event tome is a great addition, the new loading screen and menu background are good.

The pumpinks are meh

I expected cakes in the bloodweb. Smashing pumpkins is fun, but... Like, I feel the reward isn't quite there. I feel like completing these gens/hooking should give 10k bloodpoints to actually encourage doing it/offering seeds. Especially as we do not have double bloodpoints.

Oh, and no shards either. The anniversary was better in every way except for the pumpkins. Those are more fun than the crown stand.

It's decent, I like the surprises from kicking pumpkins (ex: you can either get haste, hindered, or neither). The event should last longer though, especially because of the, ya know...

It could be WAY better but it's still a million times better than that recycled ass 5th anniversary event.

It's better than last year's event and I really like the Halloween tome, the free cosmetics, and the pumpkin smashing.

The thing I don't like that you have to complete an event gen to get BP from it. I also don't like that you have to bring an event offering to get extra event gens. There's also the issue of some killers seeing event gens and only guarding those specific gens.

Overall, it's an okay event, but it could be better.

I like it, but the bugs/crashes/infinite loading is spoiling it to be honest.

Could of done with a bloodhunt during the event, it would of been a nice gesture after a rocky few weeks.

To be honest, I am disappointed. This is mostly because the devs decided to remove other annual content and essentially gave us nothing new or excited. They have been overpromising more and more, and that's frustrating. Here's a breakdown more specifically of what's particular to this event that I do not like.

1. The new set pieces are very lackluster. The smashable pumpkins are not a particularly good looking asset and don't really pop in the environment. The tangled generators are even worse. If the vines were pulsing with pustula serum or rotting or had some sort of nice particle effects, I would like them. But a small candle, brown vines, and very small bland pumpkins do little to stand out. Having only 1 guaranteed a match means most of the map has no special feel at all.
2. Stingy offerings. Both the system by which to earn the points, which was already criticized in the past, was brought back, and rarity of the special offering is disappointing. This also adds to the former point of not adding to the map if players simply don't have the offering. Pumpkin spawns also seem tied to this, so that if many offerings aren't played, there are next to no pumpkins to kick. It seems once people realized this that they may also be holding back the offering in hopes of a hotfix to make it better before the event ends, as the number of seeds being played dropped significantly for me today (may also be due to all the crashing/infinite load screens).
3. Disappointing skins. While I love Mikaela's Tome skin, that's about it so far. The blighted skins were amazing additions when they came out, and still some of my favorite skins. They tied into the lore and theme of that year's Halloween event and the subsequent ones released were fun too. However, we can't even earn all of the new skins at the outset, and this time-gating during such a short even makes absolutely NO sense. I also would honestly have preferred if all Halloween related items were on this tome as well, as I don't pay for the pass unless I've made good progress (which occurs loooong after Halloween has come and gone).

I'll try not to be a total negative Nancy and throw out some things I would like to see, (though I will totally be a Nancy and say I don't expect these things to happen...).

1. Skins tightly knit to lore or a core theme like Hallowed Blight.
2. All gens and hooks decorated with the theme they have chosen.
3. Full set-dressing for the maps. A change in lighting, screen filters, the moon or sky, anything that brings a cohesive and interesting look to the map. Decorate with new assets that match the theme. For one good example, check out Overwatch's Halloween maps Hollywood and Eichenwald.
4. Find ways to add alternative objectives to the maps that don't detract from normal gameplay too much (or separate lobbies into Halloween unranked matches vs. standard rank matches. Choose when queuing).

Honestly it's not really much of an event. Gens look different, hooks look different and pumpkins exist... Cool.

The bloodpoint gift was the best part, would've preferred a bloodhunt though.

I didn't realize that the only way to get the bonus BP on gens is to actually be the one to finish the gen (so I could get a special gen to 99, get chased off, and then the Blendette hiding in the corner finishes it off and gets my 3,000 bonus BP).

My opinion has gone from "A'ight" to "This kind of sucks"

No wonder no one is bothering using the pedals.

I like the tome but its a bit annoying that its running along side the all kill tome which has only just started aswell. The maps aren't nowhere near spruced up enough. Poor effort overall
