Villain Zone Event Message
Villan Zone Event Message
Issue 12 provided villains with a new way to respond to any special event that may be occuring anywhere is the Rogue Isles. A new chat option was created and messages announce the spawn of everything from a Giant Monster.
To access this option all a Villain needs to do is left click on any of the current chat tabs, or creat a new tab, and select edit. Once the edit screen appear look through the list of available chat options on the right side and select the Villain 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 the event message will appear in in whichever chat window you have picked.
Message Types
Messages vary based on the activity but include
- Message alerting all players that the Ghost of Scrapyard has spawned in Sharkhead Isle.
- Message that Deathsurge has spawned in Cap Au Diable.
- Message that Caleb has spawned in Nerva Archipelago.
- Message that theArachnos Flier has spawned in Grandville
In addition to these message a second message will appear when an event in a zone is completed. So if Ghost of Scrapyard spawns in Sharkhead Isle and a team of villains assembles and defeats him a message will be broadcast, in all zones, stating that Monster activity in Sharkshead has returned to normal.
Notes
- This provides a very good tool for Villains in obtaining the badges associated with these zone events
- There is also a Hero Zone Event Message option that provides the same information to those playing CoH.
- Both Villain Zone Event Messages and Hero Zone Event Messages can be activated irrespective of the side a player is on (CoH/V), enabling a villian to be alerted to the Hellion Arson Fire Event in Steel Canyon and vice-versa.
- (speculation only) While it can not be confirmed until the event occur during the Halloween Event and Winter Event that take place annually. Messages will probably appear announcing the spawn of Eochai , Jack in Irons and Winter Lord as they arrive in zones throughout both Paragon City and the Rogue Isles.
