slamya69 Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 Happy Halloween to everyone! It may be my imagination, but it seems like there are a lot less buildings with Halloween decorations in the windows this year. Not sure why that changed. I (and many others) love the window decorations. It's a huge part of what gives the game a Halloween atmosphere when you're running around trick or treating. Can something be done about this? 🙂 Thanks! Stephen 1
Clave Dark 5 Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 Oh hye yeah, I haven't seen those anywhere this year. Was I just blind? And weren't the last 2 weeks supposed to be all-nighttime-all-the-time? 1 Tim "Black Scorpion" Sweeney: Matt (Posi) used to say that players would find the shortest path to the rewards even if it was a completely terrible play experience that would push them away from the game... ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ Clave's Sure-Fire Secrets to Enjoying City Of Heroes Ignore those farming chores, skip your market homework, play any power sets that you want, and ignore anyone who says otherwise.

slamya69 Posted October 31, 2022 Author Posted October 31, 2022 There are some buildings I've seen with the window decos, but very few. Seems like a lot less than there used to be. And Croatoa of all places doesn't have any. I mean, that place screams Halloween. Should definitely be there. 🙂 1
TheZag Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 I dont think they are manually placing decorations. Turning on the halloween event should swap over to the decorated buildings. Wanting more decoration is fine, but i think its the same amount as previous years. I could be wrong though. If they have to swap out building IDs or something else that is manual, then its possible that some were missed.
Rudra Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 I was going to say that the Halloween decorations are there in Croatoa, but I'm not seeing the ghost window the universities normally have. Even during the eternal night phase.

Maybe the coding got inadvertently changed somehow that is causing the shortage of window decos. Just spit-balling here of course. 🙂 Edited October 31, 2022 by slamya69

I didn't see any in PI which I distinctly checked whilst doing some GM scouting for the league. Really disappointed about this!

Clave Dark 5 Posted November 1, 2022 Posted November 1, 2022 Really Devs, how to you make Halloween worse?! Next I suppose Baby New Years' going to look like Baby Huey or something too.

Things of this nature happened relatively often when the Live devs tweaked and added to events too. So give the devs a break. We all know how bad the game's code is.

Clave Dark 5 Posted November 1, 2022 Posted November 1, 2022 If they broke something, I could bear that, but they haven't said what happened here, afaik. Did they say so somewhere?

Rudra Posted November 1, 2022 Posted November 1, 2022 Not that I am aware of. Not that the Live devs always said so during the event either.
Arc-Mage Posted November 1, 2022 Posted November 1, 2022 I’m pretty sure they didn’t have the Halloween windows last year either. I too missed them but not enough to say anything. Being constantly offended doesn't mean you're right, it just means you're too narcissistic to tolerate opinions different than your own. With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility.

Hopefully the Devs will respond with some insight.
