Blake: Spooky Edition
I even brought along a spirit board, thought maybe we could communicate directly and see if any of these specters have anything useful to say. Apparently, you just put it down like this, put your fingers lightly on the planchette and... ooh it’s moving! “N...I..CE...S...H...EE..T....I..D..I..OT” Huh. Well... Y’know what, how ‘bout you come find me, and we’ll get some practice time in. Then we’ll wipe the undead smirks offa those sassy specters’ faces.

@Amber Which I understand, but this just makes me ask the question again: why not extend the holiday by however long it's going to be delayed? It's quite the surprise that that hasn't been your response. You won't even humor it as a suggestion. Also, you're willing to delay it because of site crashes, but not delays? Can you see how this logic is confusing. Also, another thing, no one's worked up. We're, at most, a bit miffed that the holiday is late and wanting to know when it'll start. If you can't answer that, I think that would be the wiser thing to say from the start rather than just dictating it'll start when it starts, implying we're just going to have to deal with the crunch that said delay creates. If nothing else, will you please discuss this with your peers? According to the hearts, it's what people seem to want.
I'm fine with Morostide starting whenever. Given everything going on, I imagine some of the artists/writers/etc are dealing with other stuff. I haven't been as active on Suebta lately so I don't mind. Morostide has never had a set date anyway so shrug
I smell something different for Morostide. A plot...maybe? A reveal of something new? Who knows. I'm sure patience will pay off. :)

I'm repeating the "Morostide will start when it starts", @Jasper, because we've learned not to give hard dates for when things happen, in case it doesn't work out. That's why we try to stay vague for the start dates for a lot of things, though Morostide does have an end date of Halloween (unless we have to extend for lag or big glitch).
I say something very similar to almost every single holiday multiple times; things will start when it starts and we all just need to just go with the flow. I would love nothing more than to give y'all answers to things, I in general try to be as helpful as I can, but sometimes I (and staff) don't know when a thing will start until maybe a few hours before! I get a lot of users are frustrated when things don't start when they want/hope/expect. It's frustrating on our end for similar reasons; we want to give y'all a great experience but somethings things just don't add up to what we want/hope/expect.
That's why I include all information I can in the starting holiday news post, because it's at that point I can share information. That's when I have all the details set in stone for y'all. I don't want anyone to walk away from this comment thinking we haven't prepared ahead of time or things are going bad; it's just we are on a skeleton crew. We're in a pandemic. Rah is on maternity leave (hello babies!).

Technically right is the best kind of right. We've done Morostide this late before, we've done it earlier.
For the record, the 17th is actually the latest Morostide ever started - both in 2019 and 2016, for the record. We never had it start after the 17th - before 2015, it started on the 15th.
;)
Lol omg XD Blake's sheet?! Sassy ghosts?! Brilliant.
(Also that backdrop is seriously beautiful!! Well done artist! :heart: )

Morostide will start when it starts. You all will find out details in the opening message. If you have concerns then, I encourage you to bring it up. But right now y'all are just working yourselves into a panic over what could be nothing. I promise we've considered the timing. We've done Morostide this late before, we've done it earlier.
Will Morostide's start be announced before it actually begins? I think a lot of people expected it to begin today, so I'm hoping there's a heads up before it starts to not panic over missing something.
Maybe Morostide begins a little bit later. The staff knows most of de time a solution to compare some things who are different as usual. I hope so. There could be a technical reason or so or they spent more enegy to give morostide more qualety. I'll just wait off.

Uhhhh...If they speed up TOT and patch times, it won't matter
Quote by Jasper:
Maybe you just missed my point: the weeks leading up to Halloween are just as busy as Christmas for a lot of people. They don't have a lot/any time for the event on top of everything they're doing, especially during the last 48hrs, which is usually when they make it go faster. Now there's a possibility of their virtual TOTing time being cut down, which will add to everyone's workload and stress, not to mention it's unfairly punishing the player base for what will be a staff inflicted issue. If the event is late, fine, no one minds that, but be fair to the players and extend the time we have so that we don't miss out and stress out. Please.Having the holiday go a week into November would free up time for a lot of people; they can enjoy their real Halloween and have the perfect spooky downtime here on subeta.
Liking that ghost costume! Whoever drew it did a nice job making it all drapey-drapey~
Maybe the wearable Ghost Costume will get an update soon? :D

Whoever sent me those pumpkins, thank you so much T_T (I'm trying for the pumpkin eater achievement)
I love the people on this site!!

Wow this Blake is so easy even my weakest pets who never battle could beat him in 1 hit each. And I agree with Jasper, starting Morostide with less than 2 weeks to get all the TOT and patch items is kind of annoying and I would consider that starting late.
Maybe it's just cause of all the plot events with Jaxon and the one where the spirits became restless (opening of Shengui) that ghost hunting seems so silly. giggles
But don't let Blake know that.

That really doesn't seem fair. Unless it's starting literally tomorrow, that means less TOTing time for us. If it is late, can't it go a week into November? Fireside doesn't start til mid-November and while I'm not doing my outdoor set up this year, due to covid, it was the reason why I always missed most of Morostide. Having the holiday go a week into November would free up time for a lot of people; they can enjoy their real Halloween and have the perfect spooky downtime here on subeta.Morostide will start when it starts and end at the end of the month like always.
Oh cool. Like the book, not the background. But what happened to Morostide? The 31st is only 2 weeks away.
You should be able to refresh anywhere around Shadowglen yeah, it can take several refreshes before he shows up.
He's around Shadowglen...A friend told me to refresh Shadowglen but that wasn't working. Then I went to Jaxon's estate and there he was. Try looking around Shadowglen.
The backdrop loot is amazing, and Blake's costume as well hahaha. This is the best version so far :P
*Phasmophobia, lol my bad, spelling is hard. Anyway Mr. Steele, as usual, nothing personal just give me all your loot >:3
I've been enjoying a lot of Plasmophobia lately and seeing Blake all dressed up with his doohickeys made me laugh. Love the little axe detailing on the sheet xD
