Ganymede, Scratch, and DJ Zero are once again flinging out the fun and creating seasonal harmony from that jumpin-est of joints, Pocket D. Blue side and Red side have another chance to join forces and Snap some Teeth.

This popular event is back with the potential to earn unlockable costume pieces and badges. Brave the Well of the Furies, find Aphrodite’s Girdle, and take down that mischievous Red Cap, Snaptooth. Don’t forget the exciting temporary powers available only from this event…confound your enemies with the Nectar of the gods and enemies become allies with the crossover Dimension Drop buff. Read all about the 2010 Spring Fling Event on the official website.

  • Starts: Tuesday, February 9, 2010 at 8:59 a.m. PST (11:59 a.m. EST ) for North American servers, and at 8:59 a.m. GMT (9:59 Central European) for EU servers
  • Ends: Tuesday, March 2, 2010 at 11:59 p.m. PST (2:59 a.m. EST) for North American servers, and at 11:59 p.m. GMT (00:59 Central European) for EU servers

And for those of you looking to treat yourself to something in-game for Valentine’s Day, don’t forget the City of Heroes® Wedding Pack! It’s available for $9.99 at the PlayNC® Store and offers all kinds of opportunities for romantic fun during the Spring Fling. It includes two formal wedding costumes and four celebratory character emotes, allowing Heroes and Villains the tools to celebrate love in style!

So get ready to get flung for V Day! See you there!

From the description on the website, it looks like nothing new has been added to the event.

At least I get the chance to get this stuff on my characters that were created since the last one.

A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes."

I wasn't expecting anything new, so I'm not disappointed. In fact, this picture is rather amusing. Oh, Snappy, you tease:


There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

I wasn't expecting anything new either. Nor am I disappointed. Any hands that aren't working on Valentines are working on GR instead, eh? Well, I'd hope so anyway.

Bah, what's the point of this event if there aren't any new badges?

Sorry to be blunt, but that's my opinion.

So new players can get them and experience it,for players who like doing it every year,and for any alts that need the badges,costumes,etc.

I also wasn't expecting anything new, but I've never actually run any of the V-Day mishes so it'll be new to me.

My bagder will run it to get Handsome and Partygoer, and my holiday-themed character (who has as many holidays as I could get crammed into one costume) will be grabbing the Hearts pattern.

I really hope this is not the big announcement that Mod08 was referring to.



Why do I get the feeling it is?

Well what about the people that have been here for years, we should get something new as well.

I'd wager the dev team is a *little* preoccupied with a tiny thing called "Going Rogue."

That said, I *do* wish they'd - well, retire Snaptooth, frankly.

Cancel your subscription, unplug your computer, take it outside and light it on fire....

If something new takes time away from pounding out GR then I think most people would want GR to have top priority. We got new Halloween and Winter Events this year, maybe a new Spring Event can be next year. ("Plus a Summer Event next year perhaps maybe?" says Dr. Zoidberg.)

Spring Fling is meh at best.

At least if there is nothing new, you know that no time was wasted on it

^ This
Going Rogue comes first, if not sooner. If they can, they said they'd get Ultra Mode out before GR proper, and I will literally kill for that graphicy goodness.

I've also never actually done *any* of the Valentines stuff, despite being here for, what, 2-3 years now? Timing and other RL stuff, I guess.

There's a 'Heart of Darkness' Badge, isn't there?

Only it occurs to me that last year I thought of a character who'd really want that badge, but the event was almost over by the time I thought of it, so I didn't have time.

And a year later I still haven't got around to even rolling that character.

So... good to have it back, for that

I would of been happy with a new log-in badge at least. Ah well.. back to waiting for GR to hit beta..
