Winter Event 2009

As per this post

"The 2009 Winter Event has reached Paragon City™ and the Rogue Isles™ and there is much rejoicing to be had again this year! But don't fall into the trap and keep your senses alert as a new menace is also looming in the horizon threatening to bring the holidays to an abrupt end! Will you be able to defeat Lord Winter before he succeeds?

This year's Winter Event goodies include a new "throw snowflakes" emote and a character respec (both bought by candy cane salvage), and two new holiday badges--Festive and Lord of Winter/Lady of Winter! All the temporary powers, badges, and fuzzy earmuffs from last year are also back, bringing nostalgic cheer. Along with streets and rooftops loaded with Father Time's gifts, you'll still encounter snow beasts and Winter Lords, Father Time's mission, ski challenges, candy canes, and more in this fun-filled feast of holiday festiveness!

• Starts: Tuesday, December 15, 2009 at 8:59 a.m. PST (11:59 a.m. EST / 4:59 p.m. GMT / 17:59 Central European Time)
• Ends: Tuesday, January 5, 2010 at 11:59 p.m. PST (2:59 a.m. EST / 11:59 p.m. GMT / 00:59 Central European Time)

Before you launch yourselves into the action, here are a few facts you should bear in mind to enjoy the 2009 Winter Event to its fullest:

• If you are in Lord Winter's Realm and the event timer runs out, you will be returned to Atlas Park (Heroes) or Mercy Island (Villains) rather than the zone you originally entered from (unless you entered from a PvP zone).
• The Winter Lord may not spawn in Mercy Island and Port Oakes.
• The Winter Event does not run in the Co-operative or Hazard zones.
• The Winter Lord will spawn in Bloody Bay, Siren's Call and Warburg but not in Recluse's Victory. Be careful though, since they are PvP zones, you may accidentally attack another player through the 'Tab' keyboard button or through your pets.
• If your team gets split to two different maps of Lord Winter's Realm due to the zone cap, you can rejoin each other through Lord Winter's Realm Portal. Please note that the primary purpose of Lord Winter's Realm Portal is to allow split teams to rejoin one another.

Happy holidays to you all!"

What to give the guy who thinks he has everything?

You show him something he's never seen... Happy birthday, little bro! To celebrate here's a "saturday morning" tv show pilot that is sure to give you many sleepless nights...

Super Booster IV: Martial Arts is out!

As per this post...

"Get ready to channel your chi and embrace your inner shinobi! City of Heroes® Super Booster IV: Martial Arts is now available for $9.99 on the NCsoft® store.

Not only does Super Booster IV: Martial Arts offer you a stealthy new costume set, brazen emotes, and ninja-inspired costume change techniques, but you'll gain access to the exclusive Ninja Run travel power so you can dash through the city with the agility of a ninja! Use Ninja Run to strike fear in the hearts of your enemies as you increase your run speed and leaping abilities. What's the best part? It doesn't use one of your power selections!

This purchase enables these features for all characters on your game account from level 1, but the costume change emotes do require that you unlock at least one additional costume slot. This can be accomplished by completing costume slot missions at levels 20, 30, and 40; and by using Halloween Event salvage (which can also be bought, sold or traded via the in-game Consignment Houses).

Martial Arts themed costume set:

The Martial Arts themed male, female and huge costume parts include robes, shoulders, legs, gloves, footwear, mask, belt and head pieces, as well as new hair styles, chest emblems, and weapons. Male and huge characters also have the option to select the top knot hair style, while females will have the option for braided buns!

Character Emotes:

• /em bringit
• /em pushup

Costume Change Emotes:
Activate the following martial arts themed 'costume change emotes' using the costume change interface, selectable from the main Menu.

• Smokebomb
• Ninja Leap

Ninja Run power:
Dash through the city with the agility of a ninja! The Ninja Run power is a travel power enabled through the purchase of Super Booster IV: Martial Arts and is available for use at level 4. Use Ninja Run to strike fear in the hearts of your enemies as you increase your run speed and leaping abilities, and the best part? It doesn't use one of your power selections!

NOTE FOR ABOVE

• By default characters only have one costume slot, and must unlock additional costume slots through activities in the game. This can be accomplished by completing costume slot missions at levels 20, 30, and 40; and by using Halloween Event salvage (which can also be bought, sold or traded via the in-game Consignment Houses)."

First off, worth it for the travel power alone... wicked awesome.
Secondly, this pack was tailor made (no pun intended), for my brother's perverse love of anything Mortal Combat-like.

City of Pedestrians

This just in one the latest patch notes to the test server...

• Walk Power - All characters will now have access to a new inherent power -- Walk! This toggle power enables characters to move at a comfortable walking pace.
• The “Walk” power is an Inherent toggle power given to all characters at Level 2 (like Sprint).
• Please Note that powers or jumping (i.e. pressing the Space Bar) cannot be used while walking.
• This power is not intended for use in combat.

And no, it's not a joke.

Stand back, I've got this...

And now a word from our sponsors...

Haven't heard from you guys in a while.....

Hows everyone doing?

Ready for the holidays?

City of Heroes Halloween Event 2009

So, the test server ran the new Halloween event yesterday... Expect the usual trick o' treats and zombies again this year. However, there has been a new event added into the mix...

"Heroes and Villains who enable the “Zone Event” Channel on their Chat Tab will be alerted to the new Deadly Apocalypse Event. (Noted as “Supernatural activity”.

Deadly Apocalypse Event

The fog has rolled in, the sky has darkened, and something is not right. A howling wolf sounds in the night and players are alerted, via Global Alert, that the event is happening in a City Zone (Trial Zones, Hazard Zones, PvP Zones, and Co-Op zones do not have the event running in those zones).

As the Halloween Deadly Apocalypse occurs in a zone, the sky changes to a different color.

• If the Deadly Apocalypse Event is not already running in a zone, Costume salvage redemption at Annah / Granny Beldam has a chance to trigger the Deadly Apocalypse event across all viable zones
• 4 Haunting Banners (destructible objects) appear across a zone, but are surrounded by a magical barrier (they appear on the MiniMap)
• Each Haunting Banner is protected by one of four Haunting Defenders/Ambushers who protect the magical barrier
• There is a chance that Elite Bosses appear as Defenders, depending on the size of the group
• Players must defeat Defenders (of each "type") before the magical barrier goes down and they can attack the Banner itself
• If all 4 Haunting Banners are destroyed before the timer runs out, an Aspect of the Sigil (Giant Monster) appears
• If all 4 Haunting Banners are not destroyed before the timer runs out, the Aspect of the Sigil does NOT spawn and the event cleans itself up
• If either condition is fulfilled, the event cleans itself up

NOTE:

• Players who are within 250 feet of a Banner will have their User Interface (UI) taken over by the Event UI which shows the timer and their status
• If players travel outside of the radius of the Banner, the UI goes away
• UI displays a progress bar which shows how close they are to defeating the themed type of mob
• The status of each Haunting Banner is represented by an Icon in the Event UI. When all Banners appear in the zone, they are shown in the Event UI. Once a particular Banner is defeated (i.e. Transparent Terrors), its representative icon is “blacked out”.
• The Red Progress bar indicates how close the player is to bringing the Banner to “vulnerability”. As blue creeps in and takes over, that shows the player is making progress towards making the Banner vulnerable.

If the Players do not manage to defeat all four Banners in time, the Giant Monster will not appear and the event will clean itself up. The Player will be alerted to the end of the event because the zone will revert to "normal" and a closing sound effect will sound.

Badges

The following badges can be earned by participating in the Deadly Apocalypse (Halloween) Event:

• Dark Fiend - participate in defeat of Dark Fiend Banner
• Hell Hath No Fury - participate in defeat of Women Scorned Banner
• Terror - participate in defeat of the Transparent Terrors Banner
• Monster Masher - participate in defeat of the Monster Mayhem Banner
• Monstrous - participate in the defeat of the Aspect of the Sigil Giant Monster
• Hell and Back (Accolade) - receive Dark Fiend, Hell Hath No Fury, Terror, Monster Masher, and Monstrous badges to earn this Accolade"

So get ready for the big spooky party, heroes!!!!

Sidekicks/Exemplars

• Players exemplared for any reason (teaming, flashbacks, zone, arenas) will now be able to use powers gained up to 5 levels above the exemplar level.
  • Example: A 20 exemplared to 1 will have their first 5 power choices instead of 2.
  • Example: A 50 exemplared to 45 will have access to all their powers.

XP Curve Adjustment

• To go along with our new changes to sidekicking and exemplaring, we've made some adjustments to the experience awarded from minions, lieutenants and bosses in the level 5 to 24 range. In short these enemies are on average receiving a 20% experience and influence increase. This will slightly speed up the pace at which heroes and villains advance through the 5 to 24 range
