So how about some good ole fashioned speculation?

I'm hoping they add a witch broomstick that is just like the rocket board. If I have to pay money then shut up and take it.

I'm willing to bet the good ole zombie invasion\ToT'n will be back. Anyone else?

There's a Halloween Trial that's been confirmed. A Ustream chat about a month ago had a few pictures from the trial map. You can find the pictures in one of Von Krieger's (sp) Ustream threads

Well, on one of the ustreams they showed screenshots of a Haunted mansion thing, which I believe is going to be part of some new event. I also remembering hearing something about them releasing some related things on the market, so yeah, the broomstick is a possibility.

The Trick or Treating and the invasions will probably be back too, like always.

Edit: Oops, someone beat me to it. >_>;

As this is the first event after Freedom goes live I expect great things!

Am I crazy or are you able to get a pumpkin head?

The pumpkin head is earned by killing a certain number of zombie apocalypse zombies. I LOVE that pumpkin head.

We also used to have an emote in-game which briefly transformed your character into a pumpkin. It was awesome... but sadly was changed so that now you transform into the various "Gravity: Propel" objects. That's cool too, in a different way, but I miss the ol' pumpkin. So this year, I'd love to see a new emote which did exactly what the old "alakazamreact" emote did -- change you into a pumpkin, and only a pumpkin.

Pretty please?

Damn I am way too far behind already with actually getting into gear to play the trails. Although this does sound fun.

Fate has now been tempted. The next patch will introduce a bug that replaces Propel's ammo list with the pumpkin.

EDIT: On second thought, Pumpkin Propel WOULD be pretty funny, just not all the time.

Maybe they could add the pumpkin to the list of things propelled?

I actually like the halloween events in CoH, I love ToTing.

Cancel the kitchen scraps for widows and lepers, no more merciful beheadings and call off christmas!

I'll be kept busy with the Halloween Trial and ToTing if they bring that back. Love me some temp cossie powers.

On the plus side it'll make that one First Ward mission a little less annoying.

Or make that an option in Power Customization. Or a temp power.

What I'd love to see is a custom head along the lines of a Jack-O-Lantern, but gaving the toon NO VISIBLE HEAD AT ALL. Headless Horsemen, Invisible Men, Arnim Zola, and handfull of yokai and ghosts all could benefit from such a costume feature.

Then you could literally blow your top.

They could do that as a variant of the full-face masks ("Sightless", et al.) that sets the texture to transparent, like the bugged Flak Jacket from ages ago that made your torso invisible. (I always wished they would make that a deliberate option as opposed to just "fixing" it.) Then you could also have, for instance, a character with no visible head, but hair where you would expect it. Or a hat. That would rock.

"Invisible hands" gloves, also achievable with this trick, would be similarly hilarious.

Also, while I'm here, please add my vote for "can we please not have an entire month of freaking night this time". I used to really love the Halloween events. The overcooked zombie apocalypse thing put the biggest dent in that love, but the constant night for the duration of the event doesn't help either. It was kind of neat for the first couple of days, but then it got oooooooold.

It was written that way. I feel kinda crazy for being this excited about some Halloween digital goodness.

I've always enjoyed Halloween, and having missed the last two years, I'm definitely looking forward to Halloween Event 2011.

I have many new characters that need rocks to throw at Lord Recluse one of these days. I better get an extra rock and save it for Mother too.

There's something about this event that I always do too. Part of that might have something to do with the fact that fall is my favorite time of the year. I'm really hoping this haunted mansion thing works out well. I also hope that the two week(ish) vacation I'm taking in about the middle of Oct. gives me a chance to play it before people get tired of it and stop playing it.
