They just came out with a Halloween event and now the zombies ahave a chance of dropping the wonder weapon and other stuff you cant get outside of the event. are we allowed to keep doing runs during the event so long as we dont use anything we normally cant?
I would say no, as headshots also give extra 10 points. Also it is a limited time event, as cranked was/is. It is too drastic of a change to allow runners to continue submitting. Runs posted will be on hold until further notice.
Happy to see they are on hold. Would be nice if they would add something to be able to play without the event, either an option or just separate playlists, but I doubt they will.
If you play offline the event is not active. You could still do solo/LAN runs then. You would only be able to use the base weapons and equipment though. That alone is probably too drastic of a change.
Are we ignoring this for certain categories like this Forsaken round 5 rampage run that was verified?

if there on hold how does this manage to get in ? he picked stuff up, IMO pumpkin head no pumpkin heads your times your time so they all should count
@datkent1991 Good catch, I personally wasn't even gonna look at runs till event ended. Looks like some mods aren't on the same page about this (or potentially not even realize there's an event) At 1:55 in the video he picks up the wonder weapon from a pumpkin. So Unless that's something you can do when the event is gone I have to disagree and say the run shouldn't count because getting it for free that fast will 100% impact the run. I think from purely a points side that's not too much of a discrepancy from normal runs depending on the map.
TBH i didn't even get that far into the vid to see him get the WW from a pumpkin head, i seen him pick up a chalice an thought well there's a free PAP if that doesn't cancel his run nothing will, also i didn't even know you could get the WW from a pumpkin i've picked up that many throughout the event an never gotten that lucky haha, personally i'm enjoying the event for both zombies & MP, but would like to be able to submit a legit run hopefully the mon's can fix it all up soon
@BrutishLamb the current first place in forsaken easter egg picked up the WW from a pumpkin... how got this accepted ?
@tritoxo my run for duo's still hasnt been accepted an it was prior to the event go figure ?
FYI I brought up the run in question to some of the other mods so they'll handle it
Edit: bad grammar
Can't wait for the event to be over. Hopefully we can get everything resolved when it ends. Happy Halloween everyone!
After reading through this thread, I would like to apologize to every one of you on behalf of all of the moderators for our (what can only be described as) silence. Some runs during the pumpkin event have been verified yes, but this should not have happened. There is absolutely a buildup of runs currently awaiting verification (39 as of writing this) and I feel terrible and responsible for this. I sometimes feel like the only person verifying runs but I know that this isn't the case. I currently work part time and I am a full time student in university so taking time to sit down and verify runs can be tough. But this is no excuse! So I would like to clear up a few things:
-
If any runs that were recorded during the Halloween event have somehow made it under the radar and have been verified, they will be removed. Regardless of whether or not pumpkins were ever picked up, they will be removed/rejected.
-
Seeing as no runs will be accepted from that time period, the answer is yes: runs are on hold currently.
Again, I want to apologize for the lack of transparency from myself and the team. If anyone has any questions I highly suggest joining the discord server, and either posting a message there or even personally DM me with any concerns you may have. On that note, I would like to thank those of you who posted in this forum and voiced your concerns. We greatly appreciate it. I hope those of you who celebrate had a wonderful Halloween, and I wish you all the best RNG in your runs to come.
See you all in Vanguard!

Oof. Oof to everyone playing Vanguard. You might be waiting a while for me so don't wait up... but, I wish you all luck.
That's all great news though and what I expected. You don't need to apologize though imo. I was pointing out earlier that run just as an example I meant nothing by it to the person who submitted it or verified it. I just was confused. Sorry if it sounded hostile that's my bad. I had to go through it in my head five times to make sure that I wasn't just being an idiot before I commented that. Wasn't meant for it to be malicious I appreciate all the mods here and mistakes happen on both sides. At the end of the day I don't really care enough about anything to get upset about it pretty much okay with whatever so long as it makes sense and stuff.
The event was just annoying having to put everything on hold. At least the giant pumpkin heads make it easy to spot the runs... so, it's pretty easily enforceable from your guys' side.
Is it safe to say that runs are no longer on hold? Sorry just want clarification because I don't see a post that they're no longer on hold. Want to make sure before I attempt anything. I have Discord and use it but I'm not super sociable so I apologize for asking for clarification here. If there's anything you guys need help with though I have a decent amount of free time and am happy to help out with whatever. Also happy to not help so no worries either way.
tl;dr: oof vanguard. <insert press f meme>. are runs still on hold or nah?
super tl;dr: runs on hold?
