City Council Jimmy Posted September 26, 2020 City Council Posted September 26, 2020 Halloween Further adjustments to Atlas Park Removed two options (Bats Aura and the Costume Change Emote) from the reward table for Dr. Kane's House of Horror as these items are unlocked automatically on character creation 3 1 Got time to spare?

FoulVileTerror Posted September 26, 2020 Posted September 26, 2020 Any details on what sort of adjustments they are? Geometry? Spawn locations? Trigger zones?
FoulVileTerror Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 Well, THIS isn't Atlas Park. I don't recall seeing these window textures previously. Was I just unobservant last year?
FoulVileTerror Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 New memorial character? Is that it? I saw some pumpkins on the ground on the south end, but that might just be to signify Petey there had spawned. Honestly having trouble remembering if that was a feature in previous years.
EmperorSteele Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 The textures and pumpkins were there last year 😃 1 1
FoulVileTerror Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 Alright. So the undocumented change(s) is/are the addition of Malkil Ivesse as a memorial character/Hallowe'en Salvage Vendor?
City Council Jimmy Posted September 27, 2020 Author City Council Posted September 27, 2020 That was all there last year. The new change this year is small... and large at the same time... Got time to spare? Want to see Homecoming thrive? Consider volunteering as a Game Master!
FoulVileTerror Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 I'm genuinely confused as to why it's not documented. It's even starting to feel kind of malicious at this point. 1 4
Aberrant Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) I think this might have something to do with why documenting it wasn't strictly necessary... Edited September 27, 2020 by Aberrant 5 9 Check out the Unofficial Homecoming Wiki! Contributions welcome!

Razor Cure Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 As cool as some of these AP updates are..does Redside get nothing at all? Or Goldside? Surely there have halloween over there too. Maybe they carve hamidon heads instead of pumpkins! 1

Surely there have halloween over there too. Maybe they carve hamidon heads instead of pumpkins! Agreed. I just went onto the Shadow server to check out Cap au Diable (which is pretty much red side's equivalent to Atlas Park), and... nothing. At the very least IMO, the giant atom globe in Aeon City should be changed to a pumpkin as well. I get it. Most people don't know any better and play blue side. But some of us (like moi), only have red side toons, and seeing absolutely nothing done in red side will just perpetuate the belief that red side doesn't matter. But, I understand that y'all have very limited time and resources, and don't have to do anything at all, so thank you. :) 5

I feel like there should be a face carved into this... a big, glowing, deviously grinning jack-o-lantern face. Also, now that I've seen it I can't believe no one has ever done it before. What a great idea!

The simpler pumpkin ended up working better 🎃 The engine is set up to only take textures up to 1k by default - we've broken that restriction internally during some testing but it's probably not a good idea to do so for a live build. 1 2 Got time to spare?

UpandAtom Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 They could subtly replace those monitors with the ranting Recluse with a jack-o-lantern in GV! or not. i have no idea how those screens of him work.

I think they're just animated textures? Like blinking lights on screens and stuff.
Rejolt Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 Thank you for the reward change in Kane's instance. Any chances in the future of new rewards here? This is a great instance and more goodies would be nice. 1 Thanks for D-Sync Enhancements! Just wish things like Resist/End, Heal/End and Damage/Mez had a third stat that made them more viable. Suggestions - add Recharge to Ribosomes, Range to Golgis, and Slows to Peroxisomes. These changes would allow for an endurance cost/range, recharge/endurance, and slow/mez or slow/damage enhancements.
