Winter Event/Chalet

Father Time's Ski Chalet

Overview

Added in the Winter Event 2006, the Ski Chalet in Pocket D is only accessible during Winter Events or when the developers use it during a special event. During Winter Events, many activities can be accomplished here.

The area is accessed via a door upstairs in the villain side of the club. The Chalet itself is home to Father Time and the Candy Keeper. The surrounding area has ski slopes and a luge that characters can slide down, and Gravity Geysers (as in the Shadow Shard) to quickly return to the top.

Badge

The Chalet's island gives access to the map area outside the main Pocket D club, including the floating truck between the Chalet and the club. The truck is reachable via flight, super jump, or teleportation. Without those powers, the GvE Jump Pack is enough to get to the badge. If you have no temporary or permanent travel powers, assistance is needed. The truck is only available when the Chalet is open.

Father Time

Main Article: Father Time

Father Time presents to players a mission to save the Baby New Year. Like the Valentine's Event, this is a cooperative mission which allows combined teams of heroes and villains.

Rewards

Finishing his mission allows a choice between five rewards.

1) Furry Gloves costume piece and the Crystallized Badge
2) Furry Boots costume piece and the Frosty Badge
3) Renewal of Light and the Miraculous Badge
4) Golden Rings and the Joyful Badge
5) 5 Candy Cane Salvage.

Bug! Accepting a reward when sidekicked or exemplared will cause the reward to fail.

Bug! Accepting a reward on another player's mission without cooperatively completing a mission of your own will cause the reward to fail.

Bug! Accepting a temporary power as a reward if previously awarded (even in a previous year's event) will cause the reward to fail. The temporary powers can be reacquired with Candy Cane Salvage.

Other Badges

Several enemy defeat badges may also be earned, including two that are normally available only to heroes (for defeating Red Caps and Tuatha de Dannan) but which may be earned by villains during the event. The mission cannot be reset for farming purposes, so you must complete the mission (or have the whole team log out) in order to get a new set of enemies to defeat.

Ski Runs

In addition to an untimed Bunny Slope, players can perform time trials on two different advanced ski runs, and badges are awarded for making varying goals. Each time badge must be achieved separately; runs completed in a shorter time will not earn the longer time badges.

Bunny Slope Start

Untimed Bunny Slope

Get your ski legs on the bunny slope, which does not award any badges but allows players to get used to controlling the downhill slide without a timer involved. It wraps around the ski chalet, starting at the right side of the entry door. It does include a couple slalom gates to practice on, and merges near the bottom with the Timed Slalom course.

Slalom Course Start

Timed Slalom

Added in the Winter Event 2007, the Timed Slalom course wraps around the ski chalet, starting at the left side of the entry door. It consists of passing through 12 ski gates (plus the starting gate) in a set order. Passing through each gate in the correct order places a waypoint at the next gate to pass through. The maximum amount of time the course allots is three minutes.
Ski down the slopes in the Ski Chalet in between 35 and 44.99 seconds.

Luge Platform (top left), Entry Door (right)

Timed Luge

Added in the Winter Event 2008, the Timed Luge course wraps around the ski chalet, starting at the top of a series of ramps to the right of the entry door. It consists of sliding down a half-pipe course, passing through 9 ski gates (plus the beginning and end arches) in a set order. Passing through each gate in the correct order places a waypoint at the next gate to pass through. The maximum amount of time the course allots is three minutes.

Multiple NPCs line the luge, encouraging, taunting, or menacing skiers as they go past: Polar Shift, Tundra, Snow Maiden, and a Winter Lord Abominable Snowman.
