Unhappy with random Pumpkin Heads

[Bronko]

I must express my displeasure with the new Pumpkin and Skull heads.

One of the founding principles of this game is that one player cannot interact with another player without their permission. I am very disappointed that some random person can walk over to my avatar and turn my head into a pumpkin.

I shouldn't need to spend my Turbine Points on some Party-****er item in order to prevent this from happening.

So call me a stick in the mud if you wish but I think this whole thing is silly. I don't log on to DDO to have this kind of interaction with others. If I wanted this kind of garbage I'd play WoW and get bombarded by Mowhawk grenades.

I can say that I wish the Pumpkins were self-applicable. I'd walk around with one all the time if they were.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates this idea. I'm yet to be hit by one so unsure if changing you helm will remove it or not.

But us having to buy a potion to stop it happening? Really, that was like a kick in the guts. If you needed anymore proof that Turbine could care less about the player and more about the money, there it is.

[camels]

come on?!?!?! really?
look its just for fun.

i mean really lighten up.

You might want to loosen the tinfoil a bit. You do not actually have to use TP, nor is it permanent. Considering how much more interaction there was this update with the devs proves just how wrong you are.

Um really? How about...

If we need any more proof that players will find anything and everything they can to moan about -and- STILL_PLAY_THE_GAME, here it is.

I agree that if people dont like it they should be able to opt out of it for free, but proclaiming that Turbine doesnt care about players and then still playing DDO afterward is the entire reason they can get away with it. If you really believed this, you wouldnt even be around to say it.

Very much agree.

Virtual +1 "must spread some rep around".

Step 1: Throw pumpkin grenade at your own feet
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit!

^Yes. Lighten up Francis. I was happy to finally get a pumpkin head. Play the game for months/years+ and you will welcome the change of pace that "silly" stuff like this adds.

+1 for the L4D reference.

Oh, and because you perfectly voiced exactly what I would have said in response anyway.

Pssst.....its not a left4dead reference but a quote from Sgt Hulka (aka The Big Toe) from the 1981 movie "Stripes". Lighten up Francis

Which is probably where the quote in L4D came from

Just a daily re-edumaKation

Wrong.

kormor's belt, barkskin, stoneskin, camoflage...

there are alot of 'interactions' that other players can do to you while sitting in the tavern. I personally find a random barkskin much more of a nuissance than a 10-minute pumpkin or skull head. at least they are somewhat amusing and festive for a holiday thats supposed to be fun.

That being said, one should have the option to turn it off if they find it not fun.

Pumpkin-head is an upgrade if you are a half-elf.

pumpkin-head Is An Upgrade If You Are A Half-elf.

Qft!!!

[Kominalito]

its temporary.there is no way in any situation that a level headed individual would have a problem with it. if this really bothers you that much, i think maybe vacation away from MMOs is in order.

[Krag]

Pumpkin-head is an upgrade if you are a half-elf or wear Minos.
