No More Zilloween Carvings

Guess it was too much of a hassle... the carved and lit pumpkins in SDBs turned to pepitas and pies. I'll miss the decorations.

  • We should light a candle for their memory.

    Oh...wait. Crap.

  • This was my first Zilloween, and I loved it. 

    I think I went overboard on pumpkins, though. :)

  • Yes, I am pretty upset with that particular change. *sighs*

  • I'm a little upset too, I had a tower floor dedicated to em... but I also know the fact they stuck around last season was a bug. Hopefully this signals a less buggy Zilloween in a few months (but I'll miss HUUUUGE Jack).

  • No lit carved pumpkins left in my tower...one of my favorite floors. Was this a bug that needed to be fixed ? It brought me such joy. I didn't touch my carved pumkins, i didn't move them but they went away. Saddest Zilloween :(

  • Planted pumpkins last night with the intent to carve and light...   Guess I missed it again.  I really wish the calendar was more visible...

  • My 'carve' option on pumpkins never came on during Zilloween, even after bug report & TS work on them. Sigh... lots of plain pumpkins & filled firefly jars for next time!

  • Well, Zilloween would not be nearly as much fun if things didn't nerf in the end.  I look forward to the next one as I still have not got the last candy eating badge but my teeth are about to fall out.

  • Since when did carved pumpkins ever stay carved after zilloween? I'm confused

  • We were able to keep lanterns in SDBs.  They were actually pumpkin pies, of course, but the pictures of the lit, animated lanterns remained, which was terrific.  Now the lantern pictures are gone, replaced by pie pictures.  I'm sure there was some Very Important Reason to fix this, but it sucked a little more joy out of the game.

  • Oh no, I liked how the Carved and Lit Pumpkin images were preserved (and upon clicking turned into Pepitas or Pie).
    Posted 79 days ago by TomC Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Totally okay with this change. Having the carved lanterns disappear at the end makes sense, since they are tied to the holiday and are more special if they only exist during the holiday. Also eliminates the possibility of people falsely selling them as rare items when it isn't Zilloween.

  • But if it looks like a lantern in a sdb and someone gets a pie or pepitas instead, they've been been deceived, I would think.

  • "We were able to keep lanterns in SDBs.  They were actually pumpkin pies, of course, but the pictures of the lit, animated lanterns remained, which was terrific."

    Oh that makes sense then. I can see how TS wouldn't want someone upset because they thought they were buying a lantern and got pie instead.

  • I will miss my pumpkins as well, they looked so cute up on the wall.

  • The carved and lit pumpkins stayed just fine in SDB's last time.... I had a set in my house and a set of both on the holiday floor in my tower. Just yesterday I spent 100 credits buying nice SDB's for the tower display only to find them full of pies and seeds now......majorly DISAPPOINTED! 

    I'm really sure they coundn't be sold...

  • Over 1000 High Sucrose Corn Syrup Squares, and a little over 300 each of Birch Candy, Bio-Organic Carob-ish Treats, Pumpkin Ale and Pumpkin Pie.... I think I will just dedicate an entire tower floor to crazy food surplus after this Zilloween hehehe.

  • I managed to fill an SDB with raw pumpkins, I should maybe do ale or pie..

  • Somebody took all my pies/pepitas out of my garden. You would think that people would realize that it's the lanterns that turned and not gifts. Or somebody really just stole it. Not really the spirit of the game.

  • You couldn't buy them. When you clicked on them, it offered you zero of the item. Zero potential for disappointed buyers.

    Really preferred the old behavior.

  • I really enjoyed the flickering light of carved pumpkins in my SDBs (especially since our hell bartender cubies lost their fire) ~really disappointed they're all gone...

    eta: I know it was a bug that allowed carved pumpkins displayed in SDBs, to continue to shine after Zilloween was over (instead of turning into pies) ~but they looked fab! Alas, they are Zilloween pumpkins after all...

    So by accident we discovered something nice and much liked, perhaps the devs can take this idea and create something similar for us to decorate our homes with?! =)

  • Wait, so Zilloween was again not the Halloween-related one, but the Glitch calendar one? When will the Halloween-related one start?

    (Asks a Glitch who is still completely unfamiliar with Halloween, because it's not celebrated here...)

  • Somebody took all my pies/pepitas out of my garden.

    This didn't happen to me, but I didn't know they would turn into pies/pepitas, so it could have (and I would have been upset, too). Particularly since the carved pumpkins couldn't be picked up, but the pies/pepitas can. ):

  • would the ghosts of sold carved/lit lanterns stay after Zilloween, if you didn't collect their money?

  • Somebody took all my pies/pepitas out of my garden.

    Remember that street piggies will eat them. It's best to bring everything inside before the end of Zilloween if you care about the pies and pepitas.

  • Tis a shame that the pumpkins in SDBs were nerfed !! When they stayed at end of Zilloween before 
    Posted 78 days ago by Titchy Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yep, very sorry to see the pumpkins yesterday, especially after they stayed little after last Zilloween :(   Sure hope this was just a bug and not a true nerf.  They really looked great in my collection room.....

  • I am very disappointed that i can't keep them for decorations like last year

  • Please don't call this a nerf. To do so would make the word lose much of it's meaning.

    Leaving aside the value judgement of whether or not it's good to allow Zilloween decorations to persist after it is over, the fact that SDBs displayed items which it, in fact, does not hold anymore is clearly a bug, and can be confusing if you're not exploiting this deliberately.

    So it was a bug. And the bug was fixed.

  • I don't care what you call it, bug or nerf... I am very sad by this.

  • Sniffle. This time I did mange to stuff all my lanterns into sdbs, and was greeted by pie. And I hate pumpkin pie. Even in-game :P
    Posted 78 days ago by Alyx Sands Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'm just sad because I thought if I put my pumpkins on top of furniture in my tower, that the pies would be locked once they "expired". Instead, I came home to find someone took all of them (even after I had planted some pumpkins in my front gardens for people to share). My bad for not realizing I guess. I wish there was a way to still display them but not have the goodies taken afterward. No pies for me. :(

  • Someone complained in forums about being cheated because they bought a lantern and got pie instead maybe a month ago.

    We doubted that it was malicious by the seller...just that the seller placed them during zilleoween and when it ended couldn't take the price off without destroying the contents.

  • How??  Everyone I know has lost their carved pumpkins in SDB's.....

    Was really hoping a staff member would shed some info on the disappearing punkins,  please.....
    Posted 77 days ago by Teena Subscriber! | Permalink
  • As I understand it teena, sdb pictures reflect what is CURRENTLY inside of an sdb, so when it changes to pie so does the picture. Ghosts reflect the last item being sold and since the last item being sold in my sdb was those pumpkins (purposefully or ghosts) you end up with the ghost images. This is a recent tiny spec feature (a few weeks or so.)
    REALLY (truely) sorry for your pumpkins :(
    Feel free to bid on my ghosts ;) http://www.glitch.com/forum/marketplace/27443/

  • The fact that the lit pumpkins stayed before was a bug....they simply fixed the bug. I also think that having Zilloween Items only be available during the holiday makes the most sense, and causes the least confusion.

  • Ah thank you for the explanation Mt Dew Me.
    Posted 77 days ago by Teena Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I was originally sadful about this, but then I thought yanno, it's much more fun to have limited time items.
    So I'm okay with it now and that's my story about what happened.

  • I'm unhappy. I'd just got my machine room at home decorated with all five pumpkin heads in SDBs. I thought I'd be able to keep them. Now I'll have to think of something else to decorate with.
