If you visited last year, you've been looking forward to this year, and it will not disappoint! Twice as big, more thrills, chills, and some nights will have scare actors. If you didn't get to visit last year...well, you are in for a scary treat! Come see why this is a huge favorite at Halloween! (even if you have to make an alt to visit Everlasting, it's worth it, I promise!) -Dacy

This is very much happening. We never got anyone from Reunion, but I have 2 bases on Excelsior, 2 on Everlasting, and 1 each on Torch and Indom. Promotion will start in 2 weeks. 🙂 Are you looking to participate? -Dacy

@Dacy Summoned...situation under control. Dacy out... 😂

🙂 A good friend is worth something as minor as this, to me. I have lots of other characters I can play in different ways.

It'll be open more than just Halloween, so stop by! Only giving out treats on Halloween, but stop by after and I'll be happy to give you something. 🙂 This should be open all of October and a bit beyond, but not positive of the opening date yet. -Dacy

The giveaway will be on all shards except Reunion (unless someone steps forward). The info for the base in this promo is at the end; everlasting, base code boo-17189, opening in October. And welcome!! -Dacy

If you came to the Witch's House last year, I have some great new stuff this year! If you missed it last year, check it out this year! Opening in October (hoping for the beginning of October, but still at work, so we'll see). In addition, there will be a Costume Contest on Halloween at 8 PM EST, with billions in prizes. This is brought to you by the sg Federation of Xzianthia and the fun folks from the DawL House Discord server! It will take place in a specially made venue inside the Witch's House (look behind you when you enter the portal). Categories will be: Most Beautiful, Horrifying, Monstrous, Mystical, and Overall. Hope to see you there! And, we have the Halloween Extravaganza. This is a massive giveaway spanning the servers Everlasting, Excelsior, Torchbearer, and Indomitable. (No interest could be roused from Reunion, but if you're on Reunion and you'd like to host in your base, I'd be happy to include you! Treats provided). Donations happily accepted! We'll be giving away everything from catalysts to superpacks, ATOs and influence, so stop by a participating base! (promotions coming fairly soon as to which bases at what times.) The Witch's House will definitely be handing out treats again! -Dacy

Thanks. I wish the search feature was better, I can never find stuff to see if it's been posted before..I scanned topics in here for a few screens, then went ahead and posted. Sorry for the repeat. -Dacy

Doh. Right in the description. RTFM, yeah, okay. Thanks! But I agree, it really should last as long as you are still active in the MLTF, I know it used to. -Dacy

Hi. I play with a friend who likes to break up TFs into shorter runs. My friend gets headaches and gets tired, usually done for the day or at least for a while at about 3 missions. So, when we do TFs, we break them up, and since we have several teams, it can be days or even weeks before we're back to that team. So. We have a team we were doing MLTF with. Got the tree power, the next mission is rather intense, so we took a break. The tree power was not there when we reconvened days later. Okay, so, we thought, we'll do it a few hours apart, the mission where we get the power in the afternoon, and the get Aeon mission in the evening. And we used to do it like this all the time, before this. I'm not sure what happened in the coding and updates, but now, the tree power is gone if you don't use it even if it's only a few hours later. Seems to me that it should last longer than that. I mean, we're not official and all, but that's an accessibility issue, and that would be an issue if we WERE official, so I thought I'd bring it up. Some people just physically aren't able to do all of a run of intense missions all at once, and the game should allow for that. So, does anyone know how long the power is supposed to last? Because, as I said, I know for a fact that it used to last longer (even weeks), because this is how we've done these TFs since Live. I'd swear we've done this particular one like that since Rebirth, but I don't have hard proof of that, other than I know we've done it. Just seems to me that the power should last longer than 6 hours, and it also seems to me that this is very recent to where it doesn't last.

That sounds awesome!! I may have to drop by (was planning to come see your castle again soon anyway!). Might pick up a little inspiration for my Halloween base. 🙂 Be sure to promote this, people should see your castle anyway, but the treats will be awesome, too!! -Dacy

YES! Oh, and that castle is perfect for this! Thanks!! Will work on getting you help. -Dacy

Any is helpful!! 😄 Thanks! You can send donations to @Dacy, along with how you'd like to be listed (if at all) for recognition in promotions for the event. I will be keeping track of what comes in and what goes out, and if you like, I will mail back anything not given away (based on percentage of totals) after we're done, or you can let it ride until next year. 🙂 Be sure to list your server, as this is a Homecoming wide event, but participation will vary among the shards, so your donation would only be for Excelsior (unless otherwise specified). Thanks so much! -Dacy

Also, if anyone with deep pockets and a generous nature wants to help sponsor the fun, let me know, please! -Dacy

Do you like Halloween? Do you like it when people come in to see your base? Maybe you even want to make a base for Halloween? Would you like to give away treats for Trick or Treating that are just GIVEN to you to give away?? Looking for hosts for the Halloween Trick or Treat Extravaganza! Especially from servers Excelsior, Torchbearer, and Reunion! All you need is one or more people willing to be in your base to hand out goodies (no contest, no judging required), and a willingness to help promote this so that you get visitors! Sponsors who'd like to donate additional goodies for the treats also welcome :). I did this last year, had a great time making a base for it, and it was a LOT of fun handing out all those amazing goodies! I love being able to give stuff away. So join me this year! Let's make Halloween extra fun! -Dacy

Sorry, the editor is weird sometimes. Was this -in- the doorway, by chance? The doorways don't act like room walls. Close, but still janky in some ways. -Dacy

Like Halloween? (I know, it's an American holiday, but it's a fun event!) Do you love the idea of sponsoring a Halloween community event, without the work of earning the goodies? Do you have (or do you want to make) a base you'd like to decorate or do up in a Halloween theme, or just show off? Looking for a SG or just a dedicated individual who is willing to give away tons of great stuff on Halloween (stuff will be provided). All that's needed is a base and at least one person (preferably more) to be present to give away goodies during Halloween. Help promoting this event is also needed/appreciated, so that you actually get visitors! Feel free to tie this in with, say, your SG's costume contest, a fun base to visit, or anything else that sounds good and makes for a good community event, but the treats must be given away just like you give them to Trick or Treaters who come to your door: no one has to win a contest, everyone gets treats. Sound like fun? There's even time to make a Halloween themed base if you're into that! Let me know if you'd like to be a host! -Dacy

The first time, when we had no ambrosia, we did kill the quarry. On subsequent tests, we did not kill quarry. It did not seem to affect results either way. -Dacy

Okay, I am very sure this has been brought up before, but I have new information on this troublesome bug. The bug: you get to the room before the mold wall where there are groups containing Greater Devoured on bridges over a pool in the Eden Trial. The mechanic is, you kill the mobs, and the Greater Devoured drop Ambrosia, a special inspiration that is NEEDED in the final fight, as in, you aren't surviving long enough to be able to kill the Crystal Titan without this protection, because, like Hamidon, the Titan does special damage there is no defense to, unless you have this ambrosia. Which sometimes doesn't drop. So, I was leading a team of 50+ on the Eden. We get to the Ambrosia room, and nothing drops for us. Super. I bought some VERY expensive inspirations off of the AH, and we finished up. Then a teammate and I went back in, only this time, I lead with a level 40 character. THIS time, ambrosia dropped for both of us (he was on a lvl 50+ still) at the expected rates. Originally, Eden Trial was meant as end game content way back when the level cap was 40. Now, when you do the trial, you aren't set to lvl 41, like you are exemplared for most task forces that are below your combat level, it puts you and the mobs at your level if you are above lvl 40, such as for our group, who were lvl 50+. So, (and you can follow much of the discussion on the Discord In Game Help channel), we tested a few times, at +0, at +3, at +4, as did others (and at different notorieties), and in our limited sampling, it seems that if you run Eden at +3 or +4, you may (rarely) get an Essence of the Earth drop from the bosses, but not ambrosia. Possibly this is a level limitation, seeing as the trial used to be capped at 41? Ambrosia lists as dropping from 45-55, but clearly this isn't working, either that, or the bosses are considered to con above 55 when it's a 50+3 or 4. So, could we fix this, please? I'd be happy to have the trial auto ex us to 41 again, I don't need to be 50 to run this. It was never intended to be incarnate content.

It's my pleasure to be able to debut one of the most spectacular bases I've ever seen. If you know the editor at all, you're going to be blown away. You gotta see this! -Dacy

Another base tour up and ready to view! Please note, change the quality you watch (corner, gear on viewing screen in YouTube) to the highest your connection will allow, because the autoplay quality makes this look horrid. Karma

Oh! And I can't believe I forgot this person until now, @Christopher Robin! Oh he of the orange text posts and the never ending encouragement of the artistic side of COH. I am pretty sure he isn't an actual editor in RL, but man, he's good at it. If you ever want a piece critiqued helpfully, he's your guy. He is everywhere on the Arts and Media topic, just everywhere, encouraging everyone. -Dacy
