Overview

Issue 12 provided heroes with a new way to respond to any special event that may be occurring anywhere in Paragon City. A new chat channel was created, which announces the beginning and end of "Monstery Activity" and special zone events. It accepts no input from players.

To access this option all a hero needs to do is left-click on any of the current chat tabs and select edit, or right-click to create a new tab. Once the edit screen appears, look through the list of available chat options on the right side and select the Hero Zone Event Message option and hit add. The Event Message will then move to the left side of the screen. Click on okay and the option is now saved and event messages will appear in in whichever chat tab was updated.

Notes

  • This provides a very good tool for heroes in obtaining the badges associated with these Giant Monsters and zone events.
  • Both Villain Zone Event Messages and Hero Zone Event Messages can be activated irrespective of the side a player is on (CoH/V), enabling, for instance, a villain to be alerted to the Hellion Arson Fire Event in Steel Canyon or a hero to Caleb's spawn.

Notes

  • This provides a very good tool for heroes in obtaining many badges including several needed to complete Accolades.
  • There is also a Villain Zone Event Message option that provides the same information to those playing CoV .
  • (speculation only) While it can not be confirmed until the event occur during the Winter Event that take place annually. Messages will probably appear announcing the spawn of Winter Lord as they arrive in zones throughout both Paragon City and the Rogue Isles.
