Discussion: Spring (Fling) is coming!

Snows melting. Flowers blooming. Birds chirping. Ancient gods of the Greek pantheon harnessing the power of love. Goblins running amok in the streets. Ah, it sounds like springtime in Paragon City and the Rogue Isles!

That's right, with winter wrapping up it's time for our annual Spring Fling celebration! This is the season of love, and that means heroes and villains will need to embrace those fuzzy feelings and work together. Co-op teams missions will have players venturing to the Well of the Furies, retrieve Aphrodite's girdle, and stopping a dimension-hopping goblin. And as a reward for your deeds, there are various costume pieces to unlock, badges to earn, and temporary powers to be bestowed!

The Spring Fling starts Thursday, February 10, 2011 at 9:00 AM PST (12:00 AM EST / 5:00 PM GMT / 6:00 PM CET), and will run for three weeks, ending Sunday, March 6, 2011 at 11:59 PM PST (2:59 AM EST / 7:59 GMT / 8:59 CET).

Spring is coming and love is in the air for heroes, villains, and rogues alike, so join in the festivities beginning February 10th!

Is Beastyle the new name for Mod5 or is Beastyle just one of Avata's many secret identities?

I think the announcement is talking about the Villain half of the original event. The one where Recluse is trying to use water from the Well to make player characters obsolete.

Q: How do you wreck an Abrams?

A: You crash into another one.

I'm pretty sure they're the same, like Mod08 and Ocho.

This year should be interesting, whether there is anything new or not. First Spring event since GR. Should be fun searching for opposite alignment people without using their archetypes as a guide.

Villains are those who dedicate their lives to causing mayhem. Villians are people from the planet Villia!

It's interesting how Red Caps can be "elves" around Christmas and "goblins" in the Spring.

Versatile little critters.

I was getting so sick of these Winter Snaptooth missions. It'll be good to do something completely different like Spring Snaptooth missions for a change.

I hope this year we can finally unlock this costume pieces:



Male version included. The toga is nice, but its 2011. I think we should finally be able to have this.

I am curious about how Praetorians will fit into the hero/villain dynamic of the missions.


total kick to the gut

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

I think Beastyle is your underground hip hop name.

Your primary powerset is Pop n Lock and your secondary is Lyrical Flow.

Maybe as a booster pack one day.
But we can dream. It makes totally sense. Greeks, Aphrodite, Well of the Furies, Incarnate...
Come on!

So . . . Vigilantes are left out?

Three weeks for something that has nothing new to it seems a bit much, but I'm not complaining. I guess it gives people with Praetorians enough time to get all the costumes/badges on those new characters.


Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

Haha. Seriously. When I saw that Beastyle was the name posting this I was hoping it was news about the animal booster pack! :P
