Abraxus Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 After spending the last couple of years around Halloween, doing the Paragon Chat version of Trick-or-Treating, and also the glowie package opening during the Christmas season, I'm very much looking forward to doing the real thing on a live server this year! Anyone else jonesin' for some holiday CoH action? 6 What was no more, is REBORN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woreg Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 My earliest CoH memory is christmas - superjump off a building, landing in the middle of a fight and suddenly being the center of attention. Packages, snowmen, skiing. good times! Really looking forward to it again, but here's a question; Once the Holiday stuff is available, should it be on all the time? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trademarked Name Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I don't know if it was a fevered dream, but in my addled memory, I seem to remember being in Atlas Park and a giant snow man lumbering through the city surrounded by an aura of snow fall and ground pack, and smaller snow man spawning around him. And having my lowbie toon face plant several times during the "event". I don't remember trick-or-treating but I remember discussions about how people had attained witches hats and some other costume bits. I wonder if the seasonal events will shake loose the cobwebs in my brain.

Kinestron Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Ditto. I was just thinking about this a couple nights ago while going through Peregrine Island. I'm really looking forward to the Halloween event again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckers Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I loved the year they froze all the water in Paragon... That will never again... but it was SO much fun for those of us who didn't have characters stuck under the ice in Perez 🙂 I remember using my NRG blaster to play hockey with the hydra 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can, of course, go skiing and bobsledding at the winter resort off Pocket D any time you like. You can even collect the badges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AboveTheChemist Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 If you really need a wintry holiday fix, go talk to Null the Gull and have him send you to the winter zone ( I don't recall the name offhand). There is a decorated tree and a cozy little cottage and a frozen lake with a little ice ramp/jump.

Clave Dark 5 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Me, I'm looking forward to trick-or-treat monster stomping on that one street in Sharkhead with six doors close to one another, or that motel on Peregrine Island with like what is it, eight doors? I currently have a Mastermind at something like 40 who already wears a Pumpkin head, so this'll be an easy matter of dropping patches, clicking doors and letting me minions start auto-attacking. It's a glorious holiday chaos! 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.

The Halloween Event can never run long enough for me, between Trick or Treating *, Zombie Apocalypse Being almost Constant and the Mysterious Floating Island appearing with its Haunted House and Festive Pumpkins in Croatoa, it's has a lot of Variety and is a Blast. *Trick or Treat ( Click on any Inactive Mission Door anywhere and Receive Halloween Salvage, Halloween Temp Costume Powers ( with Badges Awarded based on how many Unique Costumes you have acquired) or Several Baddies Jump out and try to thump on you ) 1 " When it's too tough for everyone else, it's just right for me..."

Tahliah Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I am so pathetically excited that I have already created both my Halloween and my Holiday costumes in anticipation! I can't wait for ToT!!! Thinking about the presents and Baby New Year makes me a bit giddy, so I am trying to tame it by focusing on ToT. For now. :P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milk Sheik Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 If I remember right, the winter event includes a Frosty badge. Looking forward to getting that on my scrapper Milk Sheik. Also, wasn’t there an EB of the winter queen who had lots of -recharge?

Yes, it is floating in the sky above the Lake. At least it used to. I think it was added in one of the later issues. " When it's too tough for everyone else, it's just right for me..."
