Patch Notes

It seems that this and the other Halloween Elite Boss suggestion threads had the effect they desired; Open Beta patch notes now indicate Halloween Elite Bosses now have some of their powers Level gated to Level 30 and Level 40. This is at the expense of team and league engagement, which is the trade off made to give solo players an even easier time defeating the Halloween Elite Bosses.

[OPEN BETA] Patch Notes for October 5th, 2024
Glacier Peak replied to The Curator's topic in [Open Beta] Patch Notes
These Halloween Elite Bosses were designed to make Trick-or-Treating in teams or leagues more engaging / lucrative / rewarding. Adjusting their powers based on Level gates, instead of having all of their powers available at any Level, is the opposite of providing an engaging experience for teams and leagues. Where is the "be better balanced" applying to? Teams and leagues already melt these enemies above Level 25 without issue. If this is an attempt to cater to solo players, it's at the expense of team and league engagement. -
So why no balance pass on Halloween EBs after 2 years?
Glacier Peak replied to mechahamham's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
These elite bosses will only spawn if you are above level 25. If you do get one solo and don't want to fight it, you can simply run away and they will despawn automatically after 60 seconds. Trick-or-Treat enemies have a 3-second safety window after they spawn before they can do anything, giving you ample time to escape if it's not a fight you want to take. This addition was meant to make Trick-or-Treating in teams or leagues more engaging/lucrative/rewarding.- 37 replies

A great point to make in a suggestion thread from someone who wants to change the game for everyone just to fit their unwilling adaptation of playstyle that everyone else uses. Luckily those types of sweeping changes aren't made very often by the Homecoming Team, so this thread and the other Halloween Elite Boss suggestion threads can return to their grave (again) until next year when the same posters make the same zombie suggestions (again).

Impressive time - you could have LR summon his henchmen off of a minion enemy mob near the pylon, then incan to the Pylon to start the run to decrease LRs summon time for added DPS.

Please help with a Storm/Storm/Ice Corruptor build

If you're interested in the Ice Epic Powerset, take a look at my Corruptor thread on this topic: -
The Halloween ToT Elite Bosses are fine and do not need changed.

What a beta tester really should be focusing on.
Glacier Peak replied to Gibbler's topic in Open Beta Testing
Wow, I originally thought this was spam when I read it this morning. After reading @lemming reply, I guess it makes a little more sense. The formatting doesn't do the reader any favors. It's hard to follow, especially on mobile devices. It reads like a ChatGPT output if the user wrote a prompt about how to beta test. -

Any solo player can do any of the things I offered as much as they want at any Level and any amount of familiarity with the game. There is no requirement to do them. They are options, should a solo player desire to use them.- 37 replies

Extra Rewards for Team/League Leads?
Glacier Peak replied to Gravitus's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
I think leading is it's own reward, I don't want more rewards for that. -

Solo players can use Inspirations. Solo players can summon pets. Solo players can use temporary powers to increase their attributes. Solo players can attack, then retreat, then attack. Solo players can invite other players. Solo players can learn from their experiences and use counters to the enemy in the next fight. Solo players can move to a safe location.- 37 replies

This thread is about Halloween Elite Bosses though, isn't that what @Steampunkette was referring to?

They are appropriate for solo players. Solo players can avoid them. I disagree. It's fun, exciting, challenging, and rewarding (×5 the XP/Inf of a normal Elite Boss).- 37 replies

Level 25 or higher is the only requirement. Cap au Diable doesn't go up that far, (Level 8-20) so I'd try other zones if you're a higher Level.

If a player is not using Scourge to their fullest extent, they're not playing a Corruptor, they're playing a Defender with weaker buffs/debuffs.

A "rollover" system for event badges
Glacier Peak replied to Luminara's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Well I'll get on board if this becomes a standard across all holiday events, but I'm probably most supportive on Halloween since that's my favorite in and out of game holiday. -
Well said 😁
