1.) Rounds start WAYYY too early, Unavoidable Late Spawning delivers nasty effects

Spawning late in rounds isn't really all that much of a problem usually, maybe spawning too late can make you vulnerable some zombie since you can't fight back when stuck on the loading screen but that problem was eventually addressed hopefully. However here's the catch with the recently added halloween rounds such as the quest and boss fight, spawning late in the rounds are nearly unavoidable, rounds start nearly 4-6 seconds after intermission on the menu ends, giving most people NO TIME for the round to load and when you spawn as late as maybe 2-4 seconds after the round starts, you'll get hit with some negative effects. With the quest, spawning late doesn't give you the infinite stamina as per usual, and since the entire map depends on completely topping your stamina meter with a bunch of sprinting and jumping, you will eventually fall in the lava no matter what due to exhaustion. And with the boss fight, I honestly dont know if this wasn't a problem for last year when the halloween event had the same boss, but it seems like PR decreased the wait time for the boss fight to trigger. So basically you start at the center of the battlefield being trapped in some transperent white walls, then when those walls disappear and you hear the platform you are on crumbling into the lava, you work your way into the circular/donut-like platform where from there you fight Lord Pumpkin Jr. with firearms. But the thing is the wait time for the wall to disappear which triggers the spawn point tumbling into the lava is incredibly short, which also gives people no time to load the map out and give time to work your way into the platforms to reside on. '''Basically, when you spawn too late, you CAN end up dying in the lava, even when you have the fastest computer you cant avoid it most of the time. '''This problem can easily be addressed since last year's halloween event never had this problem, ESPECIALLY the boss since it's the same for this year. Just extend the wait-time for the round to begin and this problem can fluorish easily.

2.) Pies are Cancer

Self-explanatory for the most part, basically you can throw pumpkin pies at people which has them trigger the ragdoll for a second or two, which are easily abusable when timed and aimed right which can get a lot of people mad. The use of pies are the worst in both of the halloween rounds, especially in the boss fight when you can throw a pie at someone who is too focused on fighting the boss that they tumble themselves into the lava and immediately die. Its not that hard for the same thing to happen in quest since all the platforms are extremely small where as you can easily trigger the ragdoll and immediately get dominated in the lava. Just disable pies for those halloween rounds like how the M202 and RPG are disabled for PvP rounds.

3.) Quest rounds are held up for some certain cases (Karambit Glitch and Skeleguards being lured into the lava which gets the key dissolved which makes the round unbeatable without it.)

Also self-explanatory for the most part, the karambit climb normally takes away a lot of stamina but since in quest you have infinite stamina for the majority of the round depending on the time or location, you can easily trigger the karambit-climb position which makes you INVULNERABLE TO LAVA. It may get people to glitch under the lava and do whatever from there without it.

The whole problem with Skeleguards is a bit more complex, sometimes when they are outside of the courtroom and are fighting with a survivor to the edge, they fling the survivor off of the mountain and into the lava beneath it, this causes the skeleguard to continiously follow the surviivor in the lava which gets them burnt in it as well. And when the key spawns, the key gets dissolved in the lava which leads to the round being not only unbeatable but it causes the round to be held-up for quite a while until people realize that the other key doesn't actually exist. And who knows what the surviviors do from there...

4.) Etc.

'''Opinion Alert!!!! - '''Overall, the halloween event seems incomplete... I kind of felt like he, PlaceRebuilder, could've put more time in it over the last month with making a new boss and some new items. Nothing but the cheap halloween skins and the extended quest mode is really new and its a bummer it was like this. I do enjoy the chainsaw and the tinpot at an extent but this halloween event could've been the least bit better...
