Christmas Event Presents

[ QUOTE ]
I got the Toy Collector badge immediately after opening my 200th present, which happened to be a Naughty one. I got exactly 58 "You recieved Present." lines of chat (i.e. Nice presents)

[/ QUOTE ]

There are four different things you can recieve in "nice" gifts:

Snoball
Snowbeast
Present
250 prestiage.

Sometimes you get the presitge with the present, but I have gotten it without.

Orc&Pie No.53230 There is an orc, and somehow, he got a pie. And you are hungry.

Negaduck: I see you found the crumb. I knew you'd never notice the huge flag.

[ QUOTE ]
Am I the only one who can't resist clicking on the gift inspirations as soon as you get them? I just can't wait to see what it is.
The few minutes I was actually on and able to play I found 3 naughtys and 2 nice. The gifts were both gift of power.
I'll save some eventually......I hope. Still haven't turned on my jingle jet yet.

[/ QUOTE ]If you haven't turned on your jetpack because you are "saving" it, for later, then you need to know that the used or not, the jetpack is gone 30 days after you get it.

The presents in the Storm Palace indeed do give the 'Snow Pony' temp power.

Its a 5 min capped Superspeed.

You may also collect a ton of debt. Mu naughty presents either spawned level 2-4 snow monsters, so no XP as a lvl 10, or spawned lvl13 bosses and lewies and immediate death and debt.
Collected 3 bubbles worth of debt in about 10 presents.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's why you either go collecting in a lower-level zone just for the presents and badge (and screw the XP)... or you run an Illusion controller like moi and leave Superior Invisibility on so the snowmen don't even notice you when they appear.

People out for the badge always show up to mop up the extras anyway.

[/ QUOTE ]

If you get the prestige without getting a present, it's likely the present would have been a) an insp but your tray is full; b) a snowball but you already have one; or c) a Snow Beast but you already have one.

Your best bet is to find a patrol route. I found one that had 14 potential presents in it, in Talos. Even when some of the presents were gone because someone else had spotted one, the route still netted me most of the possible presents.

Also, if you're just opening them for Toy Collector, don't kill all the beasts. Leave a baby or two. Then, if you get a Naughty and one or two minions are standing around, it won't spawn more beasts.

Lastly, if you're a highbie in a lowbie zone, be kind. At least toast the bosses and lieutenants. I left the minions in case some poor solo person was actually trying to kill level-appropriate spawns.

[/ QUOTE ]Nah, my tray has been full, and I have been getting nice presents, but getting nothing. I'm still trying to get the snowball.

Come on devs, art guys, where is my Maid costume for my characters! 5 years now, its a simple request.

Ahem.... one brief comment about the presents, could the level 20+'s PLEASE go to appropriate zones for those presents, running around Steel Canyon and other low zones stealing presents accessible to lower toons is not a particularly Christmasy attitude and action!

This is certainly good advice for our fellow Heroes, but Villians...? That's what they do!

Has anyone gotten the SnowBeast temp power first, and then Snowballs later on?

[/ QUOTE ]

I have the SnowBeast power, still looking for the Snowballs. I don't have the collect 100 nice badge yet; a little over half way to it. Maybe I'll get lucky and pick the right place and time for the Snowballs temp present.

If anyone manages to have both powers trayed at once, I'd like to know. I'm really hoping it's not "you get one or the other, and that's it" sorta thing.

[/ QUOTE ]

Other people have confirmed getting both.

However I got the SnowBeast twice now, but not a single Snowball, and it's worrying me.

[/ QUOTE ]

I got the SnowBeast temp power before I got the Snowball.

Actually, I got Prestige when I had open spots in my tray and had not yet gotten any temp powers. It sticks in my head that it was a weird amout, like 176 or something. I wonder if level has anything to do with that? I was playing a brand new 5th-level alt.

So has the Toy Collector Accolade been confirmed one way or the other:

100 "Nice" Presents opened?

-OR-

200 Total Presents opened?

The Jingle Jet is 30 days from the time you get it, it doesn't matter if you never use it - it will still go away in 30 days!

So have fun while you have it!

All you SupSpders go get those badges you need to fly to!

Edited: Guess I was just confirming what a million others said already lol!

Anyone know if the amount of WL Babies you killed last year (Without getting the badge) counts towards the badge this year? I'd be interested in knowing how close I came on a few of my heroes.

[/ QUOTE ]

I believe they do.

[/ QUOTE ]

They do. Got Cold Warrior on my main last night after just a couple Cold Horde spawns.

Do teammate clicks count in the total?

There is always a follow-up question!

No, they do not.

umm....did you have to be in SG mode to get the prestige bonus?

I got Toy Collector on my 2 mains and never saw a drop of Prestige.



edit: I was NOT in SG mode while present hunting, which is why I ask.

Argh. Snowball, snowball, where are you, why do you elude me? I've only opened enough presents to get Toy Collector, why do you run? You too, snow beast! I want temp powers. Stone Tanks throwing snowballs with Magma Armor on is a funny thing.

Also... I was rather disappointed in the fact that there was no Halloween event this year. I still want my rock. The badges would be nice, too.

I was excited when I got a Lump of Coal until I realized there was no temp power to go with it

ROCK! ROCK! ROCK!

I dont understand then I just spent the last 3 hours opening presents and had to of opened at the very least 300 and still i dont have the badge, and to boot during that entire time I only recieved one temp powered snow ball

---

@Sorak

Are you just opening presents or using the inspirations?

I got my snowballs by using the inspiration i got from the presents. If your just opening boxes on roof tops I don't think (may be wrong) you will get it. You have to actually use the present inspiration
