I went with the bowing and the throat slash...felt these were the ones I could incorporate into my PvP teabag/dance schtick.

Destiny is have Halloween festival at the tower today, tower decorated, vendors wearing masks, Tess selling themed new emotes, and goofy quests (e.g.: sword kills wearing mask of Crota) to earn goofy loot: www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/3qax5y/destiny_halloween_event_festival_of_the_lost/The 700 sliver "Zombie Dance" looks great (and expensive): The majority of the Destiny community probably will do these all day today. More importantly, this gives a glimpse of what we can expect from the "live team" on fresh content.

Damn it. That Thriller dance is pretty sweet. But $10?! Get outta here. I don't want to throw more money at the screen.

I got the Warden mask on my Titan and the Traveler mask on my Hunter...they look quite ridiculous (especially the Warden mask on my Titan).
I think I'll be keeping them.

This shit looks awesome. I think I am going to buy the thriller dance. Why not support Bungie for giving me a great game to play all year AND have an awesome dance! Btw, the 10$ is quite axagerated. It is 700 silver. That is 7 bucks at most. I still haven't spend my free silver, so I am done with 5$. Although I might buy 1100 for 10$ and have both thriller and slow clap With 300 to spare!

Maybe a reference to the old Vanguard Tiger strike playlist? Maybe a reference to the tiger stripes you get on some armor pieces when wearing the Old Guard shader? The world may never know.

I got the flaming blue skull. It looks awesome but, what's the point of all this? Just fun? Is the a useful reward at the end of the quests?

Probably just for fun and it gives collectors something to do. Plus in a couple years they can break out their Skolas mask for the nostalgic feels and have Y4 kinderguardians ooooh and aaaaah at them.
"What's that mask?!?! Where'd you get it?!?!" "Well back in my day we had to walk uphill both ways when we went to the Prison of Elders! Through the snow and everything! You dang whippersnappers don't know how good you've got it."

The price tag on Zombie dance is most likely to give it a "premium" feeling, so you don't end up with everybody having it. For bros who are into this kind of self expression in game, you money is well spent IMHO just for that reason.
I am still not gonna buy it though (or any cosmetic thing Tess ever sells), because self expression in game is not something that I have ever had remote interest in.
Regarding the masks: none of the pictures look appealing enough to me to be worthy of silver, maybe they look better in game. If I get the Oryx one, I'll make sure to wear it when I kill him on the Hard Mode. A team of 6 all wearing the masks shooting at him at the last DPS check would be hilarious for a group photo (provided there are still enough DPS to take him down of course)...

BTW: if you want to let you friends know how big of a nerd you are in the Halloween costume party, you can create real life masks of Engram/Speaker/Eris/Oryx/ using the template Bungie provided: www.bungie.net/en/pub/festivalofthelost (scroll to the end or search for "MASKS FOR REAL-LIFE".

ATVI: paid DLC and microtransactions can co-exist:
When asked about paid expansions and microtransactions going hand-in-hand, Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg responded:
Again, I'll pay for Raid if that's what it takes for Bungie to produce them. Bungie can put up all the other content for free all they want, but things like "Festival of the Lost" is just not my cup of tea. Also, without Raid, I don't really have a huge incentive to "slave" through weapon quests (still haven't fininished Chaperone / First Curse / No Time to Explain).
I am intrigued by trials, but nowhere near enough to go through the trouble of looking for teammates. Besides: Halo 5 and BLOPS3 coming out = No time for Crucible at all

With the addition of the Trials bounties, I really think you should at least try it! It is such great fun! And now you even get rewarded if you don't do great.
LFG is like 2 minutes of work.
too bad you are on XB1, because I would gladly play some games with you to get you hooked to the absolute adrenaline rush ToO is.

LFG is like 2 minutes of work. too bad you are on XB1, because I would gladly play some games with you to get you hooked to the absolute adrenaline rush ToO is. I have problems of play time, and Trials is at the bottom of the pile. My priorities are like this: Destiny hard raid Halo 5 campaign legendary solo (3 missions to go, to be done soon, like today) Halo 5 Warzone / BLOPS 3 Pub Halo 5 Arena BLOPS3 Arena Destiny regular PvP (so I can actually get a feel and find the best Y2 loadouts/weapons that fit me, in other words, de-noobified) Destiny Trials with trusted friends (and get carried of course) BLOPS3 campaign Destiny quests / new content (say from November update) "The Division" beta (~ Xmas) Destiny Trials thru LFG You can see the problem . Unless I magically find friends to carry me, I have no hope to get to Trials until sometime next year.

Speaking of Trials, are there any XONE bros who are interested in running Trials and/or some normal PvP and who aren't prioritizing Destiny PvE/Halo/CoD? I'd like to start playing them, preferably with a somewhat consistent lineup, but it seems like nobody else here cares much for PvP on the XONE side. If you're interested, speak now or forever hold your peace (aka I'll try to find people through the100.io or Crucible Playbook LFG).

We can make a date on Sunday, late morning to early afternoon. Also, looks like my Monday evening is opening up as well. Is ToO still open by then? For regular Crucible, I plan to wait until after the November update to get started on the Crucible quest chain, and eventually complete it.

I didn't look at the bounties until the event nearly finished and thought the bounties might be tedious, but to my surprise they're not. I now have the only rifle that can OHK a Sunbreaker Titan mid-Super.

I'd be interested in Trials for loot, and also just to get to the Lighthouse once and mark off the grimoire card. But now that Blops 3 is hitting that thought is probably on the backburner. Still, you know me, I have fairly high availability, but if you play Trials with me be prepared for nonstop complaints about how lame Crucible is probably with direct comparisons to Blops 3 because it will have just come out and it has low TTK which makes Supers far less retarded and infinitely more fun.

Cool, looks like there are enough interest in trials on the XONE side. I'll initiate conversation in the LFG thread.
