Time to flashback to Striga for the holy shotun.
I really should do something about this signature.
hope they crawl up out of the ground instead of teleporting...
will they be romero or remake zombies ? (ie: braaaains shuffle shuffle relentlessly or Raaaaarrrrrrr! sprint munch rend).
temp powers I want to see:
Shotgun (for my non-AR characters)
Chainsaw: for all character! chainsaw is a must!
fireaxe: not as cool but still good.
Need to get my Axe/SR brute some levels for this. Choppy Choppy! Thankfully its several months away!
@Jaw Dropper - Toons of all levels so drop me a line!

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
actually, on a side note, what happens if you heal a zombie. Does it become a corpse ? or a cannibal ?
just thinking that I need to get my emp/archery defender up a few levels for this... oh, and my fire/fire tank. hmmmm, tanky pbaoe goodness.

A thought I had on the way to work made me giggle but I would hope it never got instituted for the griefing it could cause:
If a character is defeated by a zombie, they are resurrected after five seconds with full health and endurance. However, they are under a confuse effect that lasts until the end of the invasion. A temporary costume (similar to the Halloween costumes) is also placed on the character that makes them look like one of the invading zombies.
So in the grand tradition of zombie movies, if one of your mates gets splatted by the undead, they then rise and attack you.
Daft I know, never going to happen but it made me smile just thinking about it.

[/ QUOTE ]don't worry BackAlleyBrawler said I wanted there to be a very small chance to be infected. Then if you died, you turn into one of the random zombies, rise up, and attack other players...with a small chance of infecting them.
Etc. etc.
So it was though of just could be done ATM
I know what you mean Dante , I'd love to see some rudimentary AI take over your character if they are bitten, causing them to lash out with their powers at anything and everything, and changing your face to the current 'zombie' model - until either 10 minutes have passed or one of your mates cures you a'la Lost wand invention/temp.power.

Another event to lag the server to death.... nice.
I hope it dont carry on after the haloween event.

Gz on first DOOOM!
I don't think I'm going to get a chance to take part in the preview, but definitely looking forward to the Halloween Event.
what if they left the citizens and mobs on the map and had them infectable by zombies? now that would be fun
RPer: save the innocents!
standard player: kill anyhting that gets in the way of protecting the citizens
farmer: sit, wait for all mobs to become zombies then get all badges in one fell swoop.

Well, they've already got the animations for that connected to summoned zombies, so it'd make sense for them to use them.
Plus, it'd look awesome to see several dozen emerge at once on Talos hill, for example

But far funnier to see some emerge from between Ms Liberty's feet. Wonder if THAT would make her move? It'd certainly give a few newbies a surprise!

Anyway... I'm so very psyched about this - the halloween event in 2006 was my first CoV event at all and I loved it and this year will beat both prior ones!!!
Wohoo!
