The devs are a bit busy this year, understandably, with GR, I19 and 20 in the pipe. Can I ask now for something new next year? (Actually, what I'd like is the chance to get a perma-temp costume power of the ones collected... that, I'd work for.)
Perma-temp?

Shows you how much I care about it. I'm just going by what I heard in the rumor mill. I guess I got the wrong (or out of date) info.

Wonder not.

It's been my experience the zombies and other Halloween stuff will last well into Veteran's Day.

I think I get the most enjoyment of these types of events from watching those who are experiencing it for the first time. It's fun to see heroes knocking at the door and when I check their veteran badges, it is 3 or 6 months.

It's like watching kids at Christmas... their enthusiasm is contagious.

At least for the first two or three days.

It would contain a full costume set of a skeleton body, a "ghost" aura with little ghosty things floating about, an emote of the "zombie walk" accompanied by the zombie groan sound which seems to spam during the zombie apocalypse, and the power would be Frightening Visage (click, PBAoE melee radius, enemies Fear Mag 2 for 8s, recharge 20 min).

That's a neat idea actually. Throw in some zombie-rot, bloody clothing and bandages for costume enhancement and you might have a winner.

I do wonder if in Pratoria the salvage will have the same names...

I'm not sure the people there would find a Hamidon costume so amusing

No idea, but the Primal Earth costume pieces are accepted there at least. It is nice having two costumes for my toon there now.

*grins at the thought of demoediting Eochai wandering through Croatoa to the tune of "This is Halloween" from THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS*

So, with that said ... has this been changed ?

And YAY halloween salvage ...
I'm sure that no matter where ugly head hides I will find him

good to see you on again.


Ignoring anyone is a mistake. You might miss something viral to your cause.

Yes, a Halloween themed booster would be quite appreciated, but we haven't heard anything supporting the notion and after the Mutant Booster and the Party Pack I'm not about to get my hopes up again. Still, the Event draws near, there is at least some new content, and all the folks who joined the game AFTER last Halloween will finally get to see what is supposed to happen when the Supernatural banners spawn, so I'm a happy camper!

I always enjoy trick or treating.

I am slightly sad that it is slated to end so soon because I do enjoy it but I understand most normal people get bored with it.


total kick to the gut

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

Also remember that last year the event was extended as an apology for server stability issues...

If there are Halloween costume pieces on the way, could you just, Iunno, make 'em unlockable, or give them to us for free, like in the good old days? Not everything has to be booster packs. It's kind of getting sad, actually. Please?

Will the tip mission be available at all levels?

I like the Zombie Apocalypse better than "Supernatural Activity"

I just thought it was kind of an oxymoron to say perma-temp. How can something be both permanent and temporary? I guess you don't get my humor. That's ok most people don't.

A new Halloween specific Tip Mission.
I think this is a fantastic idea and should be repeated for every holiday event.

Hell, I don't think it would be out of line to add 5 tips, independent of the Fame bar, and then open up a special prize for completing a "Holiday Morality"

Yeah! That way you could be a Villain but a "Secret Santa", or a Heroic "Scrooge"!
