I really appreciate new content, it’s fun, it’s different but… why isn’t it permanent?

It’s my general concern. Some thoughts:
New, free content I treat as a nicest present I could receive from a dev team. Big hugs!

However, when a christmas tree is put to trash, ornamets taken off the house, christmas music in radio stops, trick-or-treats end, etc., presents stay.
After Halloween what remained?
Weapon skins? What will remain after actual event?

Reaper’s rumble was great, but where is it?
Snowball mayhem is even better… will it still be available? If not, why?
Bell choir could be used as a puzzle in some future dungeons (all team need to be synchronised to open a door or get to boss).

These could be great new PvP types. So much love (and Dev power) have been given to them.
I sincerely believe that this all is a phase to test new modes that will be introduced in coming months.
If not, my opinion is that it is not worthy putting so much men-power to events that last few days once a year where all around players rage that all is become boring or repeatable or lack content in general.

While I enjoy and enjoyed very much all that was made available in special events I really am sad that I cannot throw some pumpkins into mausoleum or will not be able to take and return presents or whatever it could be(come) in little more that a week.

I hope for more permanent content, that’s all (I remember about fractals :P ).

Cheers and thumbs up for great additions!

they explained this in a recent interview, the idea is that each holiday event needs something unique to it so that you look forward to it when it comes around next time.

they may or may not adapt certain things like the pvp map to the base game you can play forever/anytime but they want holidays to always have that special flair that wants you to come back and play them.

Well if thats the case I hope that anything will remain to add as main game content after a full year
