Attention Heroes and Villains,

We will be hosting a targeted test of the 2009 Halloween event on the North American and European Training Room servers on Tuesday, October 13th at 11:00 AM Pacific / 2:00 PM Eastern.

The event will last for approximately 4 hours and will end at approximately 3:00 PM Pacific / 6:00 PM Eastern.

If you are able to participate, please post your feedback in the following forum thread.

We would like to get your feedback on the following :

  • Are objectives clear when the Event is running?
  • Are rewards being handed out correctly?
  • Are there any problems with the event occurring in any City Zone? (Note: The event will only be present In Paragon City or the Rogue Isles City Zones, and not in any PvP Zones, Hazard Zones, Trial Zones or Co-Op Zones)
  • Are there any graphical effect bugs?
  • Do banner icons appear correctly on the MiniMap when the event is running?
  • Do waypoints correctly appear when the event is running? (Note: Navigation waypoints of active Missions orient players to the Halloween Event objectives when a player’s character is near one, and should disappear when they leave the area.)
  • Are enemy NPCs appearing at the appropriate level? (i.e. a Level 50 should be able to fight side-by-side with a Level 5 character).
  • Are all badges awarded correctly?

Here is a list of badges you can expect to obtain throughout the event:
  • Dark Fiend - participate in defeat of Dark Fiend Banner
  • Hell Hath No Fury - participate in defeat of Women Scorned Banner
  • Terror - participate in defeat of the Transparent Terrors Banner
  • Monster Masher - participate in defeat of the Monster Mayhem Banner
  • Monstrous - participate in the defeat of the Aspect of the Sigil Giant Monster
  • Hell and Back (Accolade) - receive Dark Fiend, Hell Hath No Fury, Terror, Monster Masher, and Monstrous badges to earn this Accolade.

We have set up a Global Chat Channel on the Training Room called “Halloween 2009”. We encourage you to join that Global Chat channel to share your experiences with other players when the event is running on Tuesday, October 13th.


Enjoy and don't forget to share your feedback with us in this thread!

Wow! That was sooo much fun!

At first the objectives were a bit confusing, but if you take a moment to read the event information (the "i" button in nav bar), then it all makes sense. Progress is slow at first, but as banners lose their defense, it really starts picking up. Finding the Sigil GM is tricky, but if you move SLOWLY (sprint) the nav bar will tell you how close you are.... super-travel powers don't help, which actually makes it easier for lowbies to help find the GM.

Much fun, and the rewards at the end are sweet. Yes rewardS. I'm going back to play several more times to see the other rewards I didn't pick this time around.

Everything seemed to work okay, badges rewarded correctly (for me), so I say it's pretty much ready to go live!
