Holiday *Halloween related* idea.

Post » Mon Oct 14, 2013 6:23 pm

So this just hit me...a great idea for one of TESO's October holiday events could be a barrage of zombies spawned upon Tamriel's graves and roam freely around all 3 pacts... and to make this so much better is there will be cities that call for aid for you to come defend the village from the rotting brain feeders...I totally dig this thought, who would love to help push this event?

UGH. So tired of zombies...

in TES, the only "zombies" are the "unrestful dead" (Draugr and skeletons) and raised minions from vampires. We don't know yet if any of these things will actually be in the game, but neither of those fit the "brain feeders" stereotype... And if it's anything like typical TES, there will be plenty of undead things in relative places.

Classic zombies are a fantastic piece of art...all these hipster&scene folk have made them intro trendy "cute, fun" playthings, same way they have ruined tattoos and music all together... Zombies are still great enemies, I prefer Oblivions undead...Skyrim's Draugr was so boring...it was just a mummy with blue glow sticks in his rump...it felt like no creativity really...

Yeah, I like the idea of more undead type creatures around during october, but does that mean we will see gigantic bird-like creatures around November? jk.

What were the undead things in Oblivion called? Oh, yeah, Morts. So there could be Morts running around cyrodil and Draugrs in the skyrim province and of course they would have some stiff competition with all the cold harbor monsters and such.

id rather see the celebration of Fall in general, large pumpkins and trees changing color. As much of a zombie enthusiast i am i dont think RL holidays have a place in ESO and honestly i dont want to see things that are cliche, id rather see the celebration of the change of season.

I would rather see Witch's Day, Frost Fall (October) 13th.

"Today is the 13th of Frostfall, known throughout Tamriel as the Witches' Festival when the forces of sorcery and religion clash. The Mage's Guild gets most of the business since weapons and items are evaluated for their mystic potential free of charge and magic spells are one half their usual price. Demonologists, conjurors, lamias, warlocks, and thaumaturgists meet in the wilderness outside (the city), and the creatures created or summoned there may plague Tamriel for eons. Most wise men choose not to wander this night. In Daggerfall, this is the Summoning Day for Mephala."

Been done so many times in other MMO's. Its nothing new. Atleast SWG had Life Day which was more refreshing than normal holiday stuff. Im not saying there shouldn't be something to celebrate holidays in ESO but they need to be original and not just zombie and ghoul stuff. Maybe something like Day of the Dead celebrations that you find in many cultures

I would say stick to the existing holidays from ES lore instead of RL holidays.

I like some of the holidays or events I read through on this massive calendar than got sidetracked by the amazing monsters section...some of them seem awesome but others seem dif to pull off.
