    No Halloween Items in Halloween Crates!!!

    I hope I'm not the only one...

    I have absolutely loved Rising! And after the Easter event, which rewarded me with a ton of seasonal spring gear, I couldn't wait to get into Halloween. Sadly, after playing for hours and leveling up a dozen or so times, the only thing Halloween I had to show for it was a freakin helmet topper in the shape of a pumpkin. The house has certainly tightened up the machines this weekend if you know what I mean. Like the bunny costume at Easter, I should be dressed as a witch or scarecrow by now. Or at least wearing a pointy hat!

    Ubisoft, please, I will play your game for ten hours straight, but you have to reward us. You have to loosen up these crates. The whole notion that we'll just keep playing and playing hoping for seasonal items (in seasonal crates - I know it sounds crazy) is laughable. I turned off your game because I wasn't getting anything. It was frustrating. I felt excluded from your event; not in a psychological safety way. Just excluded. If I knew I was guaranteed one seasonal item in every loot box (there, I used it) I would play and play and play - Get all dressed up and spend days collecting pumpkins. That's a win-win. Right now, we got a lose-win, and it's discouraging. Especially from a series that I've loved from game one.

    Anybody else?

    Play some mp and you'll have enough crates to eventually find one of the so so gifts (jack o lantern light is the best imo). Hell, I have more than I even want to open, since I've already gotten all the accessories available and still have 40 crates. lol I might not even play mp until after the event is over, just to not get any more. Hopefully they'll change up the prizes before it's over. I know what you mean though about them tightening up. It's not just for the season crate, it's just in general. I haven't, and won't, collect any of the new dlc squirrels, because they decided to leave out acorn rewards for collecting them. They keep expecting ppl to buy things with acorns and they don't even bother rewarding the hardcore players for playing. Like it's too much trouble to reward at least 1 acorn a week thru the weekly challenges, or even as a possible crate reward, especially the season crates. Sure, they'll give the 12 ppl that participate in track building a chance, but forget all the other ppl that play for many hrs a week or even day (not saying they don't deserve the reward, they very much do deserve it). Maybe things will change in the future. One can only hope.

    Edit: It occurred to me that you can better your odds by taking most of the stickers out of the equation. After I had gone thru and purchased all the purchasable stickers, it no longer gave me those stickers from crates. Since I wasn't getting stickers it replaced them with gear items. Might help out.

    It's not getting crates that's the issue, it's that nothing is in them and what little IS is in them is grossly diluted by junk.

    Each event has been noticeably stingier than the previous event, and Halloween took it well into "why even bother".
