As for costumes - Icon usually has good light night or day. And Rwz isn't bad either, inside the Vanguard base.

As I recall, the event has *already* been shortened due to players hating the night. Please let those of us who love this event have our shamefully short two weeks of night. You get the other 50 weeks of the year just how you want it, so no cause for complaint there - as far as I can see. |

I'm fine with the constant night in game though. I just wanted to say thanks for that link.

But yeah, thanks again for the link. Don't know if I'll be able to correct my sleep phases any time soon, but it's good to know what the hell's been going on with me for the past decade.

Then, verily, someone lost their keys, and could find them not. For twenty days and twenty nights, though they could tell not the days passed, they looked, and could not find.
Another then stubbed their toe upon the table, and there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
And he that stubbed his toe, in his pained hopping upon one foot, then did find the other's keys when he jumped upon them, and yet more wailing was had.
Yea, the host then did cry out, "Someone turn on the bloody light!"
Hearing their cries, the Light was turned on. And it was good, though they were blinded by the brightness. And then did their eyes grow used to the light, and they agreed it was good. And in council with each other shortly thereafter, they agreed, and did proclaim that Jim should really put his pants on.

They always spawned in the SE Corner or Dark Astoria where the "Too Dark Park" badge now resides. At least that's where I got my Mask Badge back when badges were first released.

However, as of several issues ago Banished masks do spawn in DA, and anyone can get the badge easily in under an hour sweeping Moth Cemetery. So, the excuse of perpetual darkness being an advantage to badge hunting is no longer valid. |

- Still easier getting BP masks in SE Talos at night than trekking acros DA.
- Still easier getting the Croatoa ghost badge at night.
- Still easier to hunt warwolves (redside) around the Pit in Sharkhead at night.
- Still easier to hunt vampyri (redside) in the Council area of Nerva at night.
- Still easier to hunt vampyri (blueside) on the hill overlooking the Council base in Striga at night.
Where to find me after the end:
The Secret World - Arcadia - Shinzo
Rift - Faeblight - Bloodspeaker
LotRO - Gladden - Aranelion
STO - Holodeck - @Captain_Thiraas
Obviously, I don't care about NCSoft's forum rules, now.
Yup. Gamma Setting. Change it. Easy fix.
And I like the extra flare of it being night time during the Halloween Event. It'll be over soon. It doesn't last very long, and personally, I find it quite sad that somebody took the time to start a thread about it when it only lasts for 2 weeks. Get your event badges while you can. Cause it'll be another year before you'll get the opportunity.

I wish the sun would stay off. Or that I could pay 800 points to always get halloween foes from doors for characters of any level.

Very poor move, devs.  |
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
*hands out some vitamin D tablets*
I've only done a little door knocking this Halloween, has the Halloween Salvage been removed to become a trial exclusive? Or have I just been very unlucky?
I also don't understand the Zombie Zone Event thingy and haven't been interested enough it it to try and work out what you are suppose to do.

The zombie event (which also has a chance to happen if you turn in halloween salvage at night at any time of the year) just has you... killing zombies. There are four grades, minion to EB. Kill enough of each type and you get a badge. Don't recall if it's "Kill all four" or "Kill enough EBs" and you unlock a pumpkin head costume piece.
