Oh wait. It's not just me?

 

I was just going to complain about this.

How is this zero??

 

Edit: Add the error here in the Help Forum:

I'm so disappointed that for the first time ever, I can't catch a holiday dragon egg.

Same here. I've been playing DC since it began and it is the first time I cannot catch a Halloween egg.

Are you sure you were using the right carving option? I've just seen a friend get a zero score for the cat image and I'm pretty sure that it's because she used the Surface tool instead of the cut out version.

Yes, I definitely just did the surface version the first time -- but switched and it was still giving me a 0. Not the end of the world, I'll definitely comment in the bug thread.

Ditto which SUCKS cause even though I missed seeing what the new egg looks like the hatchies are absolutely AMAZING looking. It’s starting to look like this’ll be the FIRST time missing the chance to snag a holiday dragon on the 31st thanks to the EVIL Lag Monster making it known that it never actually left and instead was simply biding its time before striking out at us again.

45 pumpkins carved... i have finally finished them all...... and it was an 111/120, OUWF

[Shokomon]

It looks like the random zero glitch has been fixed!

 

At least, it was for me.

 

Also, has the event been extended?

Yikes the graveyard is full of viewbombs, poor spooky babies

It's been extended - don't miss out !

Welp, I'll go cry

@TaikoYon If it's any consolation, yours is waaay prettier than mine. 

 

I finally got my last blue ribbon with this.

Although I still think it's unbelievable that it was harder to win gold on the frowny Mint-like face.

Surface cut looks so nice! Oh I feel like that should have been the way to go

I've got scores of 117/120 on a couple of pumpkins. But that is just a Blue ribbon. Is Gold reserved for 120/120 only? Doesn't matter how much care I take, I can't do better with a mouse and my laptop screen zoomed in to 500%. The red line simply refuses to appear on many of the pixels. What am I doing wrong?

If you look carefully you can see the golden heart inside the blue (the blue ribbon is a gold medal, red ribbon is silver)

[Ferdish]

Question: is there any special achievement/badge for winning the blue ribbon with every single pattern?

[Charity322]

I'm just messing around and getting creative now.

Judges didn't like them much though.

Noooo!  Wish I'd asked earlier - could have saved myself hours of frustrated angst.  Thanks, @rinoa26

Do we know when we might stop seeing treats? I'd given up on getting all the years' treats in the one week, but now I'm into 2014 and wondering if I have a chance to finish up 👀

According to TJ’s first post in this thread the treats will be dropping until November 11 so you should be able to collect them all.

Can't believe I missed that, but awesome news! Thank you!

I can't help it, but this eye on a green pupmpkin looks pretty lit 😁

Does this event increase the success of vampire bites? I'm biting some eggs right now and getting an unusually high number of successes, and I'm curious if that's just random chance going well or if it's actually boosted.

OMG that moth pumpkin gave me carpal tunnel
