I am disappointed. I have a tri-form peace bringer. In human only form he has a number of nifty utility powers, and two attacks. His teeth and his ability to fight lay in Nova and Dwarf form. Neither can use a costume unless things have changed from the past. |
Halloween mission tips come from TREATS and not from mob defeats. All you need to do is put on a costume and click the door. If you get a Treat, then there's a chance the tip will drop right then. If it's a Trick, shifting form to fight the mobs will have no effect at all on your chance of getting a tip, because tips don't drop from mob defeats.
Also, if you are on a ToT team, then everyone gets the reward screen at the end of the tip mission, not just the mission holder, so on a team you can get all the badges etc without ever having a single tip drop yourself.

Click the door while wearing a costume, and immediately shift to whatever form you want. You've got a couple of seconds 'grace time' anyway, as the mobs are 'unaffected' for a short while as they come out of the door.
If it's a treat, then back to human form and costume, and click next door. If a trick, then you're in whatever form you want in order to fight the spawn.

Made this discovery ToTing last night. Not sure if this is universal or just the particular door we were at, but during a zombie apocalypse, at one point everyone was in a doorway that was inset from the sidewalk (btw, LOVE these alcoves with Bonfire and other KB powers!) and the zombies stopped spawning. Thinking the event was over, we stepped out into the sidewalk and zombies instantly started spawning again. So, maybe this happens everywhere, or maybe just at this particular door in PI, but it's a good way to either avoid the zombies or at least reduce the spawn count.

I think the zombies use the same logic as Rikti do during one of their invasions.|

If you're travelling or have something over your head, you're safe.
If you're stood mostly still in the open, prepare for corpses clawing their way out of the grave, or invaders from a parallel dimension.
Also, if you're looking for EB's, then stay grouped in a tight area and take them down as fast as possible.
There's a post somewhere... <insert 10 minutes digging through the boards here>... ah, here it is.
It explains how the Rikti invasions work. So far as I can tell, the same rules apply to the Zombies too.
