This looks very polished, and I’m sure it will be fun to try out. I’m not convinced that it will have the variety and replayability of the modes that it’s replacing, though. I guess we’ll find out soon!
Still missing 2 - the one with the Moon doesn't have to be full from Runeterra and the Banishment from Mythgard - no idea even with the clues ... clicked a lot of cards but so far no luck ...
Edit: found the Moon Clue even tough i fought i already clicked that one!
Now im only missing the Banishment from Mythgard clue!
Well for Ring Girl , think asian Horror movies and "ribbit" is oftentimes a sound associated with an amphibian :) Hope those hints help, if not let me know!
There's a ton of extra stuff to spend stuff on this year. It wasn't really our intention to let you get everything, it's stuff to work towards in the future and I expect our Winter event this year will be much the same. I believe giving people more options is nice because they can pick their own priorities of what is the coolest to them and that means we might end up seeing quite a bit of variety across the site for the next year.
Everyone who participated every day should have been able to earn over 1000 candy, which is enough for all 3 borders and a couple of extra things. The Little Devil Teemo stuff sitting at 666 candy was there as an "ultra-rare" fun thing to do and I would not have expected many people to go for it.
So here's the Candy breakdown (Oozefest lasts 28 days):
560 Candy from Trick or Treating
Everyone was able to visit 20 houses per day. (28x20)
400 from Scavenger Hunt
40 clues in total x 10 Candy each. (Last year we did 1 Candy per)
~80 from Random Events
This one would definitely vary for folks but the very active people should have received around 80 Candy in total by the end of the event from just random events.
140 from Daily Tasks
5 Daily Tasks x 28 days.
On Halloween, October 31, we ran a "Big Bar" event where all Candy gains were doubled on the site so it was like having a 29th day and I didn't include it in the calculations above. Also, folks who participated in our Card Design Competition received some Candy too.
So that's 1180 with full completion every day.
On Wordsearches
Word searches rewarded gold instead of candy so there was some potential candy there but we didn't do it. The reason being is these word searches are available year-round but our candy purchases in the shop will not be so we can't really give out candy for them. And I think it would be unfair to change the currency rewarded after the events ends.
Last year's Candy earning breakdown was:
20 per day for passively browsing the site.
64 clues that could be solved for 1 Candy each.
2 daily tasks.
The event ran from October 25 until November 3 which was 9 days of gains.
That was 180 Candy for browsing, 64 Candy for clues, and 18 Candy for daily tasks for a total of 262 Candy. (Borders were 75 Candy each or ~1/3 of your candy earned. Was about ~1/4 this time).
Things We Could Have Done Better
One of our biggest failures IMO was being more transparent about your progression. I would have loved to do a little "story line" showing the houses you visited throughout the day and how much more "energy" you had to visit more. I wanted to push something out for this during the event but stuff just gets too busy to reliably get stuff done. Maybe if Hearthstone hadn't of dropped that huge patch.
I think we should have allowed for passive gains as well as the active gains through Trick or Treating. I think it was a very cool flavor thing to do and the possibility of increased community interaction was neat, but some folks who are more passive users on the site lost out since our random events although flavorful, didn't exactly bring in enough Candy. Balancing the two together would be a good idea for next year.
Also, things should have started in October and stayed in October. Wasn't much we could do about that one, but I laugh a bit each time we push out a spooky-themed word search and its clearly November.
Things I'd Love to Know
Did the event feel too grindy relative to previous events?
There was certainly more interaction required on everyone's behalf rather than the passive gains of last year.
Was there any aspect you felt could have been communicated better?
Was the event too long?
What sucked? What rocked?
We'll do another post-event survey to collect feedback so I'm not too worried about being responding here (and if you do, please do our survey when we post it as well so feedback can be collected in a central location).
So I've checked One Knight in Karazhan expansion and the latest fairy tale brawl and nada. The villain is the big bad wolf and I've gone through all worgen looking cards and turn up empty... :(

I am probably in the way wrong direction here regarding controversial, because this did not work:

Mid-hint:

Only 1 clue left to solve, any hints please?
Oozefest 2
Thanks for the hint! Was driving my self mad looking through the card collection. Quite a sneaky one

"I thought you were removed from play!" "My banishment was greatly exaggerated."

You on the right track.
I need help with the ring girl and ribbiting ones
Oozefest 2
Yep, me too - only missing 2 now

Ah there we go, thanks for pointing me in the right direction, forgot that card exists

Hey all, sorry about that but we've fixed an issue with "I have no clue how this hostel has a 4.3 on Yelp." from Week 4 so now it properly triggers.
Oozefest 2
Yeah, he was my first tip too. It would be too easy I think... :)
Oozefest 2
You are welcome. ;)
Oozefest 2
Got it, thank you. How did I missed it, I already used the correct keyword...
Oozefest 2
That's odd, you'd think it would be Kindly Grandmother or Big Bad Wolf
