No frickin' kidding. What a load of hooey 
. I13 and i14 were supposed to be huge and they're so NOT huge. Give me a break. Before I was content to stay here and ignore the competition. The survey list was awesome. Looks like all we're getting for a while is the MA. Looks cool (depends on how it works) but where's the rest? I thought I'd stay loyal to this game but it has become kinda dull and I am pretty sure I will be checking out the competition - kinda sick of the, "So much awesome stuff but we can't tell you!" stuff. You disclosed the survey list so why not give us an idea of what's coming?
Ah well. The zombie event is a nice change of pace.

Love the update to this, my favorite event. The increased spawns at the doors for ToTing are excellent and the Zombie Invasion is full of win.
Thanks Dev Team!

In that time we saw 2 spirits and one was actually killed by someone not on the team, who literally said he was sorry after the fact but he just needed a few more spirits to get the badge.

Seriously. I can't possibly be the only person who changed their standard targeting macro to "targetcustomnext spirit" and spammed it while I was running around PI to see if anybody had had one turn on its stealth and slip away.
In general, there's no reason to kill-steal in this game. With the spirits spawning at such a ridiculously low rate, though, it's going to be an issue during the event.
To put it in perspective, I took my Stormie out and solo ToT'd until I had the Ostentatious badge (50 costumes). I had every other kill badge, short of the GMs and Buster. I sucked it up and joined a ToT team in PI. I kept count - it took 8 spirits, over the course of what must have been 1.5-2 hours, for me to finish off the badge. And one of those wasn't ours, it was one that had been chasing a "click and run" person down the street, and that my macro happened to pick up.

Well, the invasions are currently broken. There hasn't been one since before maintenance this morning. Was hoping to see something on the boards about this, but don't see anything.

That explains the 2 invasions in 8 hours.

Just wanted to chime in that I love this years event!
Gwar!!!!!
*Cough
Sorry
..
And the new way the doors work!!! Love it! Love it!
Get a good 8-man team working a row and all heck breaks loose!
Sure you get the people running down the street jacking doors and running away. They can have the costume salvage.. I want the phat lewts they left behind in inf, salvage, and recipes, whatever.
A suggestion for next year would be during the Zombie raids, if you kil
apprehend (where in the heck do they find the room for all those arrested zombies!?)
Enough EBs in the raid
You spawn one wicked, towering AV of epic proportions..
Like the mega 5th Column Robots in the ITF Epic AV!!!
Ya know this raid thing could get to be something for every holiday!
Lets see .. We have a Valentines Day event all ready but the attack of the killer cupids raining down in Paragon and the Islands might be neat
St. Patricks day could be hordes of Leprechauns or hordes of drunken Irishman..Oh wait no hordes of drunken Irishman would just be Boston after a World Series loss.. (Go Sox!)
Easter THE EVIL BUNNY HORDS OF DOOM! They got teeth! Bite your hand off!
4th of July could just be random firework attacks like when the ships attack, but no hordes of stuff I can think of
Columbus Day
him.. Well having lived in Leaf Peeper Country we could have the attack of the killer leaf peepers! It would require that every street in the game be clogged with traffic that doesnt move for hours
Halloween we got that covered.
Thanksgiving its got to be rabid turkey attacks with toxic poo.
And the Winter Event is pretty tied up but Killer Elves, Reindeer, Winter Lords, and Snowman would sure be pretty neat! (Jack in Irons dressed like Santa could be a follow up GM that spawns 10% of the time! I am a genius!)
But as per usual I get off topic.
Thanks for a great event!!

I've been on liberty since 11 am and haven't seen one.
Guess I could submit a petition ingame
maybe its designed to ramp up in frequency as it gets closer to Halloween?

No, no - Saint Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland. . . and right to Paragon!

No, no - just random falling Turkeys plunging from the sky. "As god as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!"
I haven't seen any signs of the Zombie Appocalypse on Champion today, only ToTing....
Still only getting minor Enhancements, I see that hasn't been fixed since the two test sessions.

So...2 invasions every 4 hours then?

just had one on liberty after 6 hours 15 minutes-ish
I have played this game over 4 years and the over abundance of tricks with very little treats is off putting. Grinding is dull, boring and all around yucky. Like the tricks reflecting number of team mates. LOVE the zombie invasions.
Large inspirations would be nice....don't have to be every treat, but if you don't give a costume, a costume salvage pc, you should get a big inspiration. Make it worth the work. There are less costume salvage drops this year. Everyone I talked to has noticed and mentioned this. I was so looking forward to this event, and find I am bored already!

Has anyone seen an issue with the lack of ghosts in this years spawns. I have talked to 3 people and all of us have spent a couple of hours with an average of 1 spirit per 90 minutes of Trick or Treating.
anyone know what the 4 costume pieces are that you can get from the zombies? pics would be nice too.

I came on here to post about this.
So far in almost 8 hours of doing trick or treat with a team of 8 in PI we have only had a total of 7 ghosts appear. The reason we have been doing ToT for 7 hours is to get that last badge. We got all the others over 4 hours ago.
We have all the badges except for Buster. This includes all 7 of the new ones.
Something seems to be borked with the Spirit spawns.

This might be up to date, not sure.
Paragon Wiki
For anyone who may have not been seeing Zombie Apocalypse events as frequently as they would have liked, we uncovered and corrected an issue with the event today, Monday, that was causing the event to not spawn at correct intervals on several servers.
If you have further concerns about the event, please be sure to use the in-game /petition command or post your thoughts here in the discussion thread.

Why are Ghosts, Wolves, and Vampires more rare than all of the other spawns?

I keep hearing this question.
It's only ONE new costume piece, the Pumpkin Head.
There are four new badges though.
Any news on the other two big complaints? (I mean the lack of Spirits spawns and no Tier 3 insp drops.)

The only thing that I see that has changed from Test to Live is that Trick Mobs now are set to ambush the clicker (and invisibility doesn't help take away aggro).
On Test, they saw through Stealth, but not invisibility. And they didn't chase the clicker unless the clicker stuck around to be 'seen.'
The ones on Live chase the door-clicker and are pretty persistent, so, that's good. They ignore other players unless they get aggro'd by an attack power. I was standing next to a whole bunch of +6 spawns and they pretty much ignored me while they were chasing their door-clicker. Now, when I had an ice patch out, and they walked through it, then they noticed me.

My stone kin was standing in front of a door with quicksand and earthquake running. Grabbed aggro every time. Not to mention stoney attacking every 53 spawn that runs by. I cant use half of my powers without fighting a lot of other peoples spawns. I guess I will join them in click and run.
Lots of 50's yada yada. still finding fun things to do.
Cthulhu loves you, better start running
