Holloween!!!!!! Please oh please oh please let the trick or treat mobs spawn for difficulty level. I want to line up a b unch of people on the same half block with their diffs cranked to the max (+4/x8). Eveyone picks a viable door (not sure if teaming effects the timer mechanism) and we all knock at once.
Instant block party!! Witches, Werewolves, Ghosts, Zombies, Vampires and Pumpkin People for everyone!
The Revenants and Vengeance Imperium-Triumph, Champion & now flavoring Justice!
Tanker Tuesdays & Brutal Thursdays. If you like fun, look'em up!
Shhh! Rangle is plotting.
Actually, screw the Mo-TFs. There should be a badge for taking down Jack and/or Eochai with ONLY the Temp Power: Rock. Can you imagine a hundred heroes or villains just pounding them with rocks? It would look fricking awesome!

The holiday events are some of my absolute favorite things about this game! That first year...I just about pooped myself when the Winter Lord first came into my sights!!
Really...I wholeheartedly agree with op...I LOVE these special touches to the game. And if indeed we are getting new twists...all the better.
It's crazy that we are pushing five years of holiday memories attached to these events! But they're there. I have four Christmas' worth of memories...late night...the tree lit...all the presents torn open...eggnog on breath...and rushing around with other folks just enjoying the season in-game. It's so darn fun!
I do dig the Halloween evetnts...but the chalet, the snow, the presents, the snowmen...man...it's become part of Christmas for me.

Make every spawn use the Purple-Scaling Code!
This includes not only the the Zombapocalypse and Giant Monsters, which already use it, but the GM spawnlings (snow creatures, pumpkin creatures, and unseelie); and the door tricks; and the present trick.
Basically: All outdoor special spawns (including ambushes) should use the scaling-battle code so that they're neither too hard nor too easy for *anyone*.

We will all refrain from referencing this movie or it's two sequels ever again. It's kind of like looking in the mirror and saying "Bloody Mary" three times, or even Candyman. It can only end badly and then there's wailing and gnashing of teeth. Not to mention bad sequels.
Like Tuskens at a pod-race?

In the future if this movie or it's two sequels must be referenced for any reason...and I can't think what it could be unless it's to use them in course cirriculum of the "Don't Let This Happen To Your Film Series" class....they will be referred to as "The Scottish Play".
Ok..now that's out of the way this thread should be safe to continue in it's previous direction.

Does this mean SteelClaw will be posting an awesome video now??
"How do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"
"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."
Oh I am nowhere near Steelclaw's talent level when it comes to snark lists.

I'm actually planning on building a snowball fight room in my base for the Winter Event. Should be interesting!
City of Heroes taught me that when the world is burning, you don't just stand by and watch, you grab a fire extinguisher and do whatever you can to stop it-even if it's not much at all. Sign the petition to keep City of Heroes alive HERE.

I'm excited to see the Halloween event, I hope they add a feature where the zombies bite you and you become confused and start biting other players to turn them into zombies!

Though honestly, I'd be thrilled if Snaptooth AND that Rikti Monkey in a Baby New Year suit were completely scrapped and something else done to replace them. I haven't a clue what since I haven't had enough coffee to wake my wit up this afternoon. *sigh*
How about team sledding/toboggans? Caroling at random doors in town ala ToT for ticked off elves, fat men in red suits, reindeer or candy canes/other goodies?
I have never liked the winter event very much but i love halloween. As a sg leader i find one of the greatest things in this game is to take new players and show them things they have not done yet. So once a year when you can take them trick or treating it is amazing. I remember my first halloween event or first rikti battle or first pride event in game and that feeling is amazing and you want to share it. So happy tricks and treats to everybody and be nice and do not door ditch after opening a trick and leave lower levels to deal with um its just uncalled for.
I can tell you as a noob and keeper of several noob-spawn that we have heard a lot about Halloween and are looking forward to it, especially with it being on a Saturday.

On a side note, I may be missing it, but would greatly enjoy a couple "seasonal" zones. Hot in summer, snowy/cold in winter.|

Rain...fog...etc.
Btw, Oct. 5 now. I read they tested Halloween on Test Server Friday. They releasing it this week? I scanned for info on the Halloween even last week and there wasn't too much talk about it then.

It'll run for a couple of weeks too, so even if you miss out on all the stuff on Saturday, you'll have time to catch up on it later.

I started playing in December and the Winter event was already going.. I loved the jingle jet pack and for me the Winter event is a great part of CoH. I have to say after this many retreads.. lose snappy. And muscle baby midget newyear.
Last year I had no clue about the zombies and was just playing with a PuG when all of sudden we were swarmed.. THAT was wicked cool. What ever you do new this year Dev's DON'T TELL! Let it surpise everyone - that was the best part
Here's looking forward to getting my new alt's their extra costume slot!

Double experience is later this week for 4 days, starting thursday, so it wouldnt be until after that. My guess would be the halloween event would start around 19th or 20th.

The Halloween event is going to be crazy this year. I hope that the lag is less than it was on Test, though.

Totally. Too busy L4Ding in Talos to enjoy the crazed screaming in broadcast, but it was so much fun.|

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

No, just no. This is the one event the Devs have ever made that I truly dislike. Coming from someone that practiced evading hours upon hours upon hours but the twitch skills for the slopes just baffle me.|

I was so unable and frustrated with them that I helped with a teleport chain on the old slopes and had a friend get them for me with the new slope.
Just no...I appreciate that you and others enjoy them and are proficient at them, but they're too frustrating here.
Now, Hallowe'en....that's fun stuff, can't wait to see the new tweaks. Would have loved to be turned into a zombie for a short time, until player defeat hehe.
