| The event was scheduled to run from October 20th through November 2nd, but actually started earlier, on the evening of Saturday, October 18, 2008 as a surprise. [http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=info&Number=12273059&bodyprev=#Post12273059 Announcement link.] | | == Overview == |
| | The [[Halloween Event]] is a suite of gaming tasks and visuals that are reminiscent of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween Halloween holiday season]. This includes Trick or Treating, costumes, monsters, ghosts, witches, and horror movie cliches such as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_apocalypse Zombie Apocalypse]. |
|
| |
|
| | === New in 2008 === |
| | *The [[Zombie Apocalypse]] is new in 2008. It includes new enemies, badges, and an unlockable player costume piece, the Pumpkin Head. |
| | *The door timers for the Trick or Treat game have been shortened to 10 seconds for a character so they can 'knock' more often, but the cool down for a particular door for a character has been raised to five minutes to keep players moving from door to door... just like real Trick or Treating. |
| | *The Tier 3 [[Inspiration]] Treats have been replaced by Tier 1 and 2 by the [[developer]]s [http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showflat.php?Number=12305057 intentionally] -- presumably to prevent Tier 3 hoarding since more doors can be knocked versus previous years. |
| | *The list of zones in which the event is active has grown (see the Trick or Treat section below for a full list). |
|
| |
|
| ==Overview== | | === Bugs in 2008 === |
| | Spirit spawning was bugged in the 2008 event. They were spawning very rarely. [http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showflat.php?Number=12305057#Post12305057] |
|
| |
|
| For the 2008 version of this event, there are three main sections to the event.
| | [[Bloody Bay]] was bugged. It appears to be set to allow trick or treating for levels 10-20, but since all characters entering the zone are Sidekicked/Exemplared to level 25, they are no longer in the level range for trick or treating. |
|
| |
|
| *First, trick or treating from door to door returns, with some tweaking of the door timers to promote a more mobile version of trick or treat, and discourage door camping.
| | == Eternal Night == |
| *Second, the Giant Monster zone spawns and eternal night have returned.
| | During the event, the entire game is locked in nighttime mode. This is not just a visual effect. All aspects of the game that depend on a day/night cycle are locked to the night side during the event. Enemies that only spawn at night spawn continuously during the event. [[Banisher Badge|Banisher]], [[The Slayer Badge|The Slayer]], and [[Haunted Badge|Haunted]] badges (Hero side) and [[Pirate Badge|Pirate]] and [[Spectral Badge|Spectral]] badges (Villain side) are examples of badges for which hunting will be much easier during the event. |
| *And finally, a new "Zombie Apocalypse" zone event has been added, with massed hordes of zombies attacking random zones throughout the event.
| |
|
| |
|
| The event runs in all combat zones in the game except [[Recluse's Victory]], [[The Abyss]], [[The Hive]], [[Cascade Archipelago]], [[The Chantry]], and [[The Storm Palace]]. The few zones where the event is not running are all zones for at least level 40 characters, so for any characters below level 40, literally every single accessible zone is running the event. The only exception to this is [[Bloody Bay]]. The event '''is''' active in Bloody Bay, but a bug prevents anyone in the zone from being considered to be the correct level for trick or treating.
| | Note that some zones, such as [[Cimerora]], [[The Hive]] and [[The Abyss]] are unaffected by Eternal Night. |
|
| |
|
| ==Zombie Apocalypse== | | == Zombie Apocalypse == |
| The Zombie Apocalypse is a zone event that uses the [[Rikti World Invasion]] engine. Random zones throughout the game come under attack for periods of time. The start and end of an apocalypse event are broadcast on the appropriate Hero or Villain event channel. The sky of an invaded zone turns red, and zombie hordes begin to attack very similarly to the troop phase of the Rikti invasions. | | :''Main Article:'' [[Zombie Apocalypse]] |
| | The Zombie Apocalypse is a zone event that uses the [[Rikti World Invasion]] engine; random zones throughout the game come under attack by zombies for periods of time as the sky turns red. A new enemy group, [[Zombies (Apocalypse)|Zombies]], appear during this event. There are badges for Zombie defeats and an unlockable costume piece, the Pumpkin Head. |
|
| |
|
| When a zone is invaded, the following occurs for all players, Hero and Villain alike, on the server:
| | == Trick or Treat == |
| * A message will appear in chat windows with the [[Zone Events]] channel enabled, warning of a zone that is about to be attacked by zombies. This message gives suitable warning for Heroes and Villains not wishing to take part to leave the zone:
| | :''Main Article:'' [[Halloween Event/Trick or Treat|Trick or Treat]] |
| ** The message reads: "WARNING: Zombie attack in ''zone''."
| | During this event, players are be able to 'Trick or Treat' by knocking (that is, 'clicking') on mission doors in the various zones. Treats are rewards which include Temporary Powers (a throwable Rock and Costume Powers), Tier 1 & 2 inspirations, and Halloween Event Salvage which can be traded in for an extra costume slot. Tricks include spawns of special event enemies for which there are defeat badges. |
|
| |
|
| * As the attack begins, the skies in the affected zone will change to a deep red color. All normal enemies will despawn from the map and zombies will begin to rise from the ground.
| | == Giant Monsters == |
| | :''Main Article:'' [[Halloween Event/Giant Monsters|Giant Monsters]] |
|
| |
|
| * When the zombie attack passes, a second Zone Events message is sent, announcing the end of the event in that zone:
| | The Giant Monsters from [[Croatoa]], [[Eochai]] and [[Jack in Irons]] spawn in most zones (including the City of Villains zones) along with the Unseelie spirits. There are Halloween-specific badges for their defeat (which are different than the badges for the defeat of the regular Croatoan Eochai and Jack Giant Monsters). |
| ** The message reads: "ALERT CANCELED: The zombies have disappeared from ''zone''."
| |
|
| |
|
| * The sky then returns to normal, resuming the perpetual night of the Halloween Event.

|
| ==Trick or Treat==
| | [[Category:Special Events]] |
| During this event, players will be able to 'Trick or Treat' by knocking (that is, 'clicking') on mission doors in the various zones. Players can knock on a door once every 10 seconds, as long as they keep moving to a new door. A door that a character knocks on won't be active again for that character for five minutes. If a door is successfully knocked, then either a treat is awarded usually in the form of a random inspiration or costume salvage, or else a trick, which will spawn various enemies in the immediate area.
| | [[Category:Halloween Event]] |
| | |
| '''Note:''' The easiest way to avoid having to move around is to team. A 7-8 man team can camp at one set of doors, double doors are best because they allow each member to click two different mission door before they need to wait, and each player takes their turn clicking (knocking). This also speed up getting the badges since the size of the mobs increases and every player on the team gets credit for each defeat no matter which one delivers the final attack.
| |
| | |
| Players have to Trick or Treat in a zone that matches their current effective level (See list below), or the doors will not give tricks or treats. [[Sidekick]]/Lackey and Exemplar/Malefactor can be used to allow Trick or Treating to work, and the [[Sidekick#PvP Zones|auto-exemplar]] of PvP zones mean that they will work for anyone high enough to enter them (except for Recluse's Victory, which has no functioning mission doors.) The [[Sidekick#PvP Zones|auto-exemplar]] of the Flashback System can also be used by high level characters to make themselves the appropriate level for any zone.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===Temporary Powers===
| |
| ; Rock
| |
| One of the treats is the [[Rock]] temporary power. It is a one use, ranged attack that does minor smashing damage. Matt Miller was the developer behind this homage to It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. [http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=general&Number=1646253]
| |
| | |
| {{PowerBox|Icon=Temp Melee Moderate.png|Name=Rock|Effect=Ranged Smashing Damage|Desc=You got a rock.}}
| |
| | |
| ; Classic Costumes
| |
| Knocking on doors can give a "Classic Costume" [[Temporary Powers|Temporary Power]]. These powers last for 13 days real time, are incompatible with any stealth powers, and cannot be used in PvP zones. For costume models that have a single gender (such as Carnie Harlequin or Strongman), activating the costume will force the apparent sex of the character to match. For costumes that have both genders (such as Crey Agent), the character will use the appropriate model. Finally, some of the costumes will have special animation built into it (such as Goldbricker and Sky Raider having animated flightpacks, PPD Hardsuit with rocket boots when in flight, Pirate having ghost-style flight, etc).

| === Free Costume Slot ===
| |
| | |
| The event gives the ability to unlock a free costume slot on any character. Which slot it opens depends on how many costume slots you have already unlocked. Costume slots are awarded incrementally...a level 1 will be awarded their second slot, while a level 50 with all four previous costume slots unlocked will unlock a fifth. This reward does not include a free costume change token; unless you have free costume change tokens left over from previous awards, you will have to pay normal [[influence]] or [[infamy]] costs to change the costume in this new slot.
| |
| | |
| To unlock this slot a player needs to gather one each of the four types of [[Event_Salvage#Halloween_Event_Salvage|Event Salvage]] that can be found through "Trick or Treating". You need one each of Statesman Mask, Lord Recluse Helmet, Back Alley Brawler Gloves, and Hamidon costume. All four then need to be brought to the appropriate Halloween contact for the character's game. [[Granny Beldam]] for villains and [[Annah]] for heroes. The contact will then unlock the free slot. There was a 35% chance of any Treat being a piece of event salvage, with even chances for which of the four types of event salvage is received.

| | |
| ==== Event Salvage ====
| |
| | |
| ; Back Alley Brawler Halloween Gloves
| |
| [[Image:Salvage BackAlleyBrawlerGloves.png|left]] [[Image:BAB-gloves.png|100px|thumb]]
| |
| '''Event Salvage'''
| |
| | |
| These are rubber Back Alley Brawler gloves, perfect for a Halloween costume. Their manufacture makes it difficult to perform simple tasks like opening doors. Heroes can take this to Annah in Croatoa, while villains can take this to Granny Beldam in Nerva, for a reward.
| |
| {{clr}}
| |
| | |
| ; Statesman Halloween Mask
| |
| [[Image:Salvage StatesmanMask.png|left]] [[Image:Statesmask.png|100px|thumb]]
| |
| '''Event Salvage'''
| |
| | |
| This is a Halloween mask of the famous hero Statesman. It's made of cheap plastic, and the flimsy string probably won't last through the night. Heroes can take this to Annah in Croatoa, while villains can take this to Granny Beldam in Nerva, for a reward.
| |

| |
| | |
| ; Lord Recluse Halloween Helmet
| |
| [[Image:Salvage RecluseMask.png|left]]
| |
| '''Event Salvage'''
| |
| | |
| This is a Halloween mask of the infamous Lord Recluse. It's made of smelly rubber, and wearing it makes you all sweaty and hard to find your breath. Heroes can take this to Annah in Croatoa, while villains can take this to Granny Beldam in Nerva, for a reward.

| |
| | |
| ; Hamidon Halloween Costume
| |
| | |
| [[Image:Salvage HamidonCostume.png|left]]
| |
| '''Event Salvage'''
| |
| | |
| The most popular Halloween costume among the kids in Paragon City is that of Hamidon. This simple costume is made from coloured plastic wrap. Many kids like to put action figures of their favourite heroes inside the wrap, pretending they are 'raiding' for 'Hami-O's' Heroes can take this to Annah in Croatoa, while villains can take this to Granny Beldam in Nerva, for a reward.

| |
| | |
| === Zones ===
| |
| Trick or Treating only works if the player was in a zone with a level appropriate for their current combat level. The following are the appropriate levels for various zones:

| |
|
| |
| ==== Both ====
| |
| Since all [[PvP]] zones automatically [[Exemplar]] anyone entering to a specific level, anyone entering the zone is brought to a combat level appropriate to the zone, so all zones are appropriate for Trick or Treating for anyone of a high enough level to enter the zone.
| |
| | |
| :20 - 50 [[Siren's Call]]
| |
| :30 - 50 [[Warburg]]
| |
| | |
| {{Bug|[[Bloody Bay]] is currently bugged. It appears to be set to allow trick or treating for levels 10-20, but since all characters entering the zone are Sidekicked/Exemplared to level 25, they are no longer in the level range for trick or treating.}}

| :35 - 50 [[Rikti War Zone]]
| |
| :35 - 50 [[Cimerora]]

| | |
| === Enemies ===
| |
| Note: none of these groups counted toward the non-Halloween badges available in the game normally. For example, these Fir Bolg do not count towards the Pumpkin Master/Mistress badge.
| |
| | |
| ; Coven
| |
| | |
| The [[Coven]] is made up of witches also seen as the [[The Cabal|Cabal]] enemy group found in [[Croatoa]]. Note that this group is the most visually different from their normal in-game spawns of any of the Halloween mobs. The Cabal is primarily colored in shades of grey and black, while the Halloween Coven is much more colorful.
| |
| | |
| ; Fir Bolg
| |
| | |
| [[Fir Bolg]] can also be found in [[Croatoa]] at the present. '''Note''' that there is '''no''' badge for defeating them.
| |
| | |
| ; Spirits
| |
| | |
| Spectral Demons from the [[Circle of Thorns]] were used to create the [[Spirits]] faction.
| |
| | |
| {{Bug|Spirit spawning is bugged this year, and they are spawning very rarely.}}
| |
| | |
| ; Vampires
| |
| | |
| [[Council]] vampyri were the models used to make up the [[Vampire|Vampires]] enemy group for the event.
| |
| | |
| ; Werewolves
| |
| | |
| [[Council]] nightwolves and warwolves were the models used to make up the [[Werewolves]] faction for the event.
| |
| | |
| ; Zombies
| |
| | |
| The [[Zombies (Trick or Treat)|zombies]] are [[Banished Pantheon]] soldiers.
| |
| | |
| ; Unseelie Court
| |
| | |
| The [[Unseelie Court]] was a new enemy group for the 2006 event. They accompanied the random zone spawns of [[Eochai]] and [[Jack in Irons]].

| == Giant Monsters and Eternal Night ==
| |
| | |
| ===Eternal Night===
| |
| During the event, the entire game is locked in nighttime mode. This is not just a visual effect. All aspects of the game that depend on a day/night cycle are locked to the night side during the event. Enemies that only spawn at night spawn continuously during the event. [[Banisher Badge|Banisher]], [[The Slayer Badge|The Slayer]], and [[Haunted Badge|Haunted]] badges (Hero side) and [[Pirate Badge|Pirate]] and [[Spectral Badge|Spectral]] badges (Villain side) are examples of badges for which hunting will be much easier during the event.
| |
| | |
| === Eochai and Jack in Irons ===
| |
| There will be a zone spawn of either Eochai or Jack in Irons in every zone in which the event is active. Once one is defeated, another of the two will spawn in the same zone within a minute or two. For each spawn, there is a 90% chance that it will be Eochai, and a 10% chance that it will be Jack in Irons. Additionally, Jack in Irons only spaws in level 20 and up zones.

| ==Badges==
| |
| | |
| These badges are awarded for receiving "Classic Costume" [[Temporary Powers]] while Trick or Treating.
| |
| | |
| Note: receiving a duplicate costume will give no indication of the duplicate, but it will count towards the badges. Because of this, it will appear that fewer costume drops have occurred than are required for the badge.

| ==Notes==
| |
| *Trick or Treat costume [[Badges]] do not have bars, but appear between the [[Firebase Zulu Security Detail|Firebase Zulu Security Detail]] and [[Tourist Badge|Tourist]] badges for heroes and between the [[Visionary Badge|Visionary]] and [[Visitor Badge|Visitor]] badge for villains.
| |
| | |
| *Costume count and Trick or Treat enemy defeat badge counts carry over from previous years.
| |
| | |
| *All [[Inspiration]] treats are tier 1 (small) and 2 (medium) this year. Last year they were tier 3 (large). No developer has said whether this is working as intended or not.
| |
| | |
| *Note: Costumes are dropped independently of event salvage, meaning you can get both at once.
| |
| **While similar to Freakshow and Arachnos costumes, these DO NOT grant stealth or invisibility. Mobs will attack players who are wearing these costumes, even if it's a costume of their group.
| |
| **Costumes are mutually exclusive with most self-stealth powers and cannot be used while shape shifted.
| |
| | |
| *When Costume Powers are awarded, two Inspirations are awarded. In the case of receiving a costume which you already have, the two Inspirations can be used as an indication of a Costume being awarded.
| |
| | |
| *When Event Salvage is awarded as a treat, two Inspirations are also awarded.
