Smoke Ring Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I use to really look forward to the winter snow events, and especially the Halloween trick or treating, Riki invasions, and the giant pumpkin to kill. Will we ever see them again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trickshooter Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Rikti Invasions and Zombie Apocalypses still happen, but with some restrictions now. The others are holiday-based and we will more than likely see them during the appropriate seasons. You can already fight the giant pumpkin if you want, as Eochai frequently spawns in Croatoa.

Mister Mass Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I just wanted to note that here in the month of July, the Summer Blockbuster Event is running. It only appeared in 2012, so it didn't have a chance to become an annual tradition because of the shutdown, but the seasonal events are set to run during their relevant times of year. So the Halloween & Winter events will be back right when you expect them to be, along with the Spring event. The Rikti Invasion & Zombie Apocalypse zone events are happening regularly. The game doesn't advertise the events, but there are scheduled & happening. Keep Redside - & Goldside - Alive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AkuTenshiiZero Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I have yet to see Ghost of Scrapyard spawn. Which means no Born in Battle badge and no 5% HP and End. Which is awful, it's the last thing I need for that badge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironblade Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I have yet to see Ghost of Scrapyard spawn. I've seen people in chat assembling teams to fight him so he does spawn. Originally on Infinity. I have Ironblade on every shard. - My only AE arc: The Origin of Mark IV (ID 48002) Link to the story of Toggle Man, since I keep having to track down my original post.

AkuTenshiiZero Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I have yet to see Ghost of Scrapyard spawn. I've seen people in chat assembling teams to fight him so he does spawn. Then he's a shy sonofabitch. Out of curiosity, what server? Are you seeing alerts? I see alerts for Steel Canyon fires literally everywhere, regardless of alignment, but no matter how long I camp Sharkhead I never see a miner's strike alert.

Fista Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Jeez I see alerts for Scrapyard a couple times a week Because there is a city in the Midwest that is continually threatened by a silver backed gorilla and is protected by a man who can run faster than the speed of light.

Apparition Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Ghost of Scrapyard spawns mostly on the days of server resets, Tuesdays and Fridays. You'll find him spawn quite often those days. Then he'll eventually stop spawning until the server resets again. Most people in my circle believe it's because people are just killing Ghostie without killing all of his minions. Since some of the minions stay alive, he doesn't respawn. Just a theory. But yeah, your best bet is on server reset days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to fly patrol around Sharkhead tonight, see if he's there or if there are stray Scrapyarders running about. I have legit not seen him in this incarnation of CoX, I thought he was bugged.

Jeuraud Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 The Rikti Invasion & Zombie Apocalypse zone events are happening regularly. The game doesn't advertise the events, but there are scheduled & happening. I see the announcements all the time, but nothing pops. The Sky turns red, the street MOBs disappear, and nothing else happens with the Zombies. With the Rikti, the ships pass over and drop bombs and one-shots your pets, but nothing else happens either. No Zombies or Rikti appear. This was a group event where you did not have to group, kind of like GW2, but you could still have a blast, and if you grouped it was even more fun. I've been part of a Zombie/Rikti PUG that continued on to PUG the zone in CoHV, not once have I seen this happen in CoHH. Note, I run on redside, and I'm an Altaholic and my highest charter is 16... or was 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chigiabelo Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Triggering some events are a simple GM command. From the Ourowiki: n-Game you can use the following commands to start events. /shardeventstart scriptdefs/Holiday_11_Event.scriptdef /shardeventstart scriptdefs/Halloween_11_Event.scriptdef /shardeventstart ScriptDefs/SpringFlingEvent.scriptdef /shardeventstart ScriptDefs/NemesisPlotShard.scriptdef /zoneeventstart RiktiInvasion Then followed by /zoneeventsignal "RiktiInvasion" "Prelude" wait for 10 seconds /zoneeventsignal "RiktiInvasion" "RunMe" There is also "/shardeventstop" to stop said events So it should be easy for them to do at least some of these.

Xaeon Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I want Nemesis invasions yo. "Titan/Bio scrappers are the stealthiest toons in the game." "How's that possible? They don't have any inherent stealth and you'd never take concealment pool powers on them!" "You see; they're perfect at stealth because nobody will notice if there's nobody to notice."

I have seen a zombie invasion once while running from the hospital back to a TF... As for Blockbuster, Mr. Dave, just read 2 posts from you post...It seems like it's safe for a little while...

Sura Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I'd just leave Blockbuster. It's not intrusive to the zone(s) at large like the Halloween or Christmas events. Plus, people like going to movies during the long winter months. 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
