Whoever planned this Halloween is awesome!

Thanks devs, for a fun and well-planned event! Awesome!

...hey, isn't War Witch part of the Coven?

Cosplay Madness!: (#3643) Neutral vs Custom Foes. Heroes at a pop culture convention!

Kiss Hello Goodbye: (#156389) Heroic vs Custom Foes. Film Noir/Hardboiled detective adventure!

Max_Firepower · 10-30-2004 05:43 AM

Thanks to the Devs!

It'd be too easy to say, "Yah, we're done with CoH and now we are putting all our efforts in 'maintaining the quality' by doing nothing and spending all real developer time only on the next release. It's all about the money, baby!

Thanks for the tweaks, changes, and occasional "game buff" to keep this casual gamer interested.

To tweak the oft-used quote from Brian Billick (Ravens Coach and Resident --edited----):

"Gamers game, RP'ers RP, Whiners whine, and Developers... Develop."

Props to all.

According to Merriam Webster online, a Coven is either simply a grouping of people with similar interests, or more appropriately here, a collection of (usually 13) witches.

Why do I have this nagging suspicion that Statesman is using the second definition here?

Sanes · 10-30-2004 04:02 PM

i agree this has been a very fun event...
I have so enjoyed knocking on doors and killing the halloween monsters...

Great event

destinfaroda2k · 10-30-2004 06:09 PM

To all those who are responsible for this event, thank you very much. I haven't had that much fun in CoH in a while. Really, great job guys.

The_Night_Raven · 10-30-2004 10:42 PM

Agreed. I was JUST lamenting my total lack of anything to do on Halloween (if it was socially acceptable, I would TOTALLY trick-or-treat. I LOVE Halloween). And here comes this.

An inter-woven storry. Unique enemies. Trick or treating. Unique limited-availability badges. All-night time setting. Even a new monster-class villain.

And, as if to smack me in the head and say "you think we're done with you?" The toss in a Peanuts refference and give me a rock. Genius. My hats off to the devs on this one.

Sabby · 10-31-2004 04:43 AM

By far the best Halloween event I've ever seen (Sony and a ton of other companies should learn from this event!)

I even bragged about it on the EQ board I still hang out on; loved it, loved it, loved it....

Olepi · 10-31-2004 09:11 AM

A very nice touch! Thanks! I especially liked the monsters (although I did get killed some)

Is this event over? I haven't seen anything and I want to see and slaughter some.

I have three full sets of badges and am contemplating if my marrage can survive a third. Cheers and Happy Halloween to all at Cryptic!!!

Virtuous_Pagan · 10-31-2004 06:30 PM

Thanks so much Devs for planning this event! It was really fun and a nice way to spend the day, even though I have the sneaking feeling that this may mean something even worse is in store for Paragon City....

Jagged · 11-01-2004 04:02 AM

Just like to add my voice to chorus of approval.

Well done. In particular well done for keeping all my friends online for much longer than they all said they would be. I imagine they are all very sleepy this morning

This is a song about a super hero named Tony. Its called Tony's theme.

Agreed!

DoomMaster · 11-01-2004 04:41 AM

I just watned to chime in here and say you all did a FANTASTIC job with this event. My Super Group and I had a blast doing this! (Fighting the giant lvl 50 pumpkins was really fun too)

Leppard · 11-01-2004 05:54 AM

I must agree that the Halloween event was great fun.

Thanks guys!

Zubey · 11-01-2004 08:21 AM

Great stuff, devs! Thanks!

Dalghryn · 11-01-2004 08:33 AM

100% agreed. I've played RP games on-line for decades (yes, I'm THAT old), and have rarely had this much fun. As I've said in other threads, and will say in every thread they post... Kudos, Devs! Awesome job!

This truly was a cool event. The Treats were nice, the Tricks were cool, the new baddies were cool (Hope they stick around), the new and only event given badges are AWESOME!! I had a lot of fun getting them, and helping other get them as well.
Thank you for thinking up something that was fun, and giving cool badges and accolades.
Hope you have something cool for X-mas, like can we save Santa or something? LOL!!!
Good work Cryptic, I had a blast, and my 2 accounts are still up and running, and look to be for quite a while.

Ultra_Violence · 11-01-2004 10:30 AM

Unbelievable event. I can't believe you went to this much trouble for a Halloween event. Definitely head and shoulders above any event I have seen in a MORP to date.

Plus I got my Banisher badge in a few hours with just a 2 person group since spirit masks never stopped popping!!!!

Anyone who missed out on the Banisher badge I feel sorry for. 72 hours of night won't likely happen again for a while.

----------------------------
You can't please everyone, so lets concentrate on me.

Echelon_NA · 11-01-2004 10:31 AM

Guess I'm the only one on CoH that hated it.

MissInformed · 11-01-2004 03:43 PM

I also had a terrific time, even though I never got a rock. I'll miss hearing Eochai's laughter - that was my favorite part.

Some of my SG friends and I made Halloween costumes for the week. We had lots of fun.

Can't wait to see what they come up with next.

rofl_ · 11-01-2004 03:46 PM

We should still be able to get the damn badges, I have a life, so I can't play this game 24/7.

Wraithstrike · 11-01-2004 06:30 PM

I'm locking in my praise of this event as well. My team found a small secluded door in Talos and well, camped. By evening's end, each one of us only needed one more thing, Eochai. The great pumpkin () was sighted at Argo highway, and we gave chase. There was much pumpkin pie for our team and for the freakshow who were hanging out nearby.

During the ToT, I got seven rocks. The guys in Freedom Reborn took to calling me "Charlie Brown"
